Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 7

[edgie]

They’ll still come out this week and blame it all on Jack Watts.

Before receiving some AFL assistance, not just financially, but in head hunting them some key football people and sponsorship too.

I actually feel a bit sorry for Walker in that his profile and related scrutiny is of a much better player.

After all, we're not talking about a multiple All-Australian power forward of the N. Riewoldt, Pavlich, Tredrea-mould, or a constantly prolific Coleman Medal-type spearhead in the J. Riewoldt, Kennedy, Fevola-mould.

0 x All-Australian
0 x Best & Fairest

We're talking about a guy who has an elite attribute (booming leg), but limited physical capabilities, who as part of their complimentary forward setup, can provide 2-3 in a given week as a finisher.

But because of a mixture of his nickname, profile, captaincy and resultant silly paypacket, he's held up as an elite player who should be leading from the front and starring on a regular basis when he's nothing of the sort.

He's essentially Daniel Bradshaw if Daniel Bradshaw was into mullets, silly moustaches, nom de guerres and Leigh Matthews was daft enough to hand him the captaincy.

Good player. Fleetingly elite player. But that's it.

I'd take a Bradshaw in his prime over a Walker in his prime any day of the week.

He’s on mine as I don’t like Nazis.

Well I do like their uniforms, just not the whole Holocaust thing.

Well you're too young to know it means Over Proof.

Western Australian decides it's now ok to bump when the West Coast player isn't on the receiving end

 

[GremioPower]

Christian found LeCras had no case to answer reven though his bump on Ainsworth caused an accidental head clash that forced the young Lion from the game with concussion.

"... stressing all year..."

Yep. Without exception, right?

 

[GremioPower]

Yep, and they wonder why we become a bit paranoid.

I am expecting a quiet refund of AU$10k when the season ends...

'Could mean the bum...' indeed #fittingcaptions

I always thought that our 'General AFL Talk' thread should be divided by year i.e 2017 edition, 2018 and so on.

 

[tribey]

Then Gil comes out and has the gall to say St Kilda need to sort their shit out!

Memba how he claimed to be a St Kilda fan upon ascending to the top job?



Shady.

 

[Grave Danger]

Just like the old system the new system is a raffle. If we're lucky we'll get some that go our way over the course of a season.

All evidence points to Carlton and Adelaide and feathering his nest before any other teams

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Gill's crers through and through

 

[JUSTWORK]

i wonder if we could turn snelling into a forward ? Considering his size and our midfield depth i struggle to see him getting a spot in out midfield at AFL level. so maybe there is a spot for him there ? Seems to be good by hand and foot, tackling machine would provide good pressure, very strong for his size.

Wow. I feel like Dr Geek with his blublockers.

No can do, there's a 10,000 post limit on threads before a new part is created.

 

[PatientMental]

it should be a limit of 4,294,967,296 posts per thread.

Elspeth really needs to give it a rest.

I don't get, did she write that reply?

Yeah but then we'll move on to a '2018 part 2' thread and so on

 

[PowerBaz]

Taking the piss I think...

 

[PowerBaz]

Never realised they had the wood on us so much.
Makes me less confident after last week that we can actually turn it around.
