Non-Lions Footy Discussion

[Elixuh]

GC tackling has been really good.

Also good to hear the trumpeter whipping people into a frenzy.

 

[lionshine]

Aaron Hall is a really good footballer.

 

[BRAB]

Weitering is so good.

Carlton don't look too bad this year. Better then Collingwood I reckon

Much greater semblance of structure and intent compared with last year.

Yeah they're worlds better then last year.

Dale Thomas is just shit though.

 

[Milux]

How'd Aish go? Would you mind asking for me? Thanks

A few on there say he was BOG. And the sensible people on there where saying he is so far behind and looks lost.

 

[BRAB]

Aish enjoying the big stage then?

 

[Milux]

Yeah. This is from his last possesion.

 

[SizeMatters]

Trotted out the standard "I'm just focusing on my footy at the moment" when asked about his future.

When they asked him about his Melbourne house he recently bought he trotted out the "focusing on footy" line which was strange considering it has no relevance to his on field progress. He tried to deflect too hard.

 

[BRAB]

Honestly think we made out like bandits with the Aish trade, two draft picks for a kid that is out of contract and pretty shit as it turns out.

 

[SizeMatters]

I like this Adam Papalia guy that's commentating the derby. So much better than listening to BT and co.

Never heard of the bloke, yet really enjoyed him after watching the Sun's and Dockers game last week. Talks footy with no bullshit

 

[Milux]

Docherty looking ordinary aswell. Cant keep his feet.

 

[Hollow Knight]

A few on there say he was BOG.

I'm seriously wondering if they all have a secret BigFooty pact to talk him up regardless of how ineffectual he was.

He did nothing. One goal over the top from the hard work of others and then just floated around wide of the contest waiting for the easy cheese. No tackles at all. No stats in the last 25 minutes when the game was on the line.

Thomas should consider donating half his paycheck to the Carlton Football Club.

I honestly love it when you see him 10 metres from the ball carrier flapping his arms like a seagull and his team mate just burns past him.

 

[AFLQLD]

I'm really looking forward to the Lions v Suns game next week. They are a decent side but quite beatable (by us) from what I've seen so far. Would love to see the Lions deflate their balloon and keep them as the QLD juniors.

They are not actually great when they have persistent pressure on them - as capable as any team of looking lost. They just look good when allowed to do their thing in space. Carlton are as mistake-ridden as we can be and look slower than us but they are keeping pressure on GC so that they can't get their flowing open-space footy going very often. GC will win it reasonably comfortably but it shows that they don't necessarily look terribly composed when they feel a bit of pressure on them.

Looks like the banner from round two has gone up in Perth tonight, this time go WCE on it.

 

[Lace Out]

Ateotd we started the hype on Aish drafting him at 5.

It was unfortunate this hype was then onsold to the Pies,for the Pies.

Yeah he's struggling a bit. I caught sight of him chasing his opponent today and was surprised at how slow he looked. He didn't look like a good runner at all.

I might have mentioned it before but from a financial perspective clubs hang onto there high draft picks for more years than normal even though they are battling a bit.He could of made a few million with the Lions as a whipping boy for 6-8 years.Not guaranteed another contract at the Pies.Who is his manager again ?

 

[MacMum]

Cmon Suns and Eagles. Need them both to win to keep us off the bottom of ladder.

 

[Milux]

Thompson and MacKenzie possible outs for the suns next week.

 

[Elixuh]

Those two kicks which led to that goal from GC were tremendous.

 

[Ironmonger]

Redden not enjoying his first derby at all.

 

[Hollow Knight]

That was unbelievably out of bounds.
