The Association Football AFL Thread 3.0

I do wonder how often that would be an article about a WC player, such as Nic Nat. “No Action Jackson” is clever though.

Never. The West and 7 in general are all massively pro-Eagle. We don't refer to Channel 7 as Channel Eagle for no reason. As an example, we were subject to weekly articles and photos of Nic Nat's new baby over the off-season. The West have to get their weekly Nic Nat circle jerk.

it's not just any start, it's a HORROR start.

man some of the s**t that gets written in these papers over the years is mental. i particular remember here the pages dedicated to insulting neil craig by rucci, who then moved on to tearing down primus when he got the port job. dont think a lot of that stuff would fly today.

They can't fit Fatanui on it the back page. The man needs the double spread.

Honestly, how is Nic Nat still on an AFL list. Hasn't been relevant in 5 years.

People under 65 still watch the news?

Rubbish, he was All-Australian in 2020 and 2021. He struggled with injury last season but was a dominant player before that, I don’t understand the hate that bloke gets.

He's won two B&F's and has been a 2 x AA in the last 5 years. But I mean... sure.

Jodly will be on you now.

Give him a new 5 year deal.

Hard to understand something that is largely a figment of your imagination.

Who hates nic nat lol?

Why would we do that when he is nearing the end of his career. Doesnt mean he's been irrelevant the last 5 years when he clearly hasnt.

That 2021 season getting All Australian just proves how big a joke that metric is to judge on. 2020 they were all in bubbles and lockdowns.

He's been fantastic in the past. He isn't now.

He isnt fantastic right now cos he cant get on the park. When he's on the park, he's instrumental to us.

4 weeks for broad seems about right but i thought he'd get more. imo it's the worst example of the sling tackle, parnell would be reasonably expecting to just be escorted over the line and is then suddenly just picked up and dumped.

 

[RPCB]

Lol. Richmond wanted a reduced suspension because of Broad’s “good character”. That would imply that the club would have plead his case on the basis of his outside-of-football character. So basically, fluff. He‘s a good son, a good friend, a good sibling, all the teachers loved him. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And yet, he violently rammed his opponents head in the turf intentionally, causing a concussion. So his inside-of-football character is that of a violent thug.

 

[Quivorir]

Let's not forget his amateur photography either.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I still have that photography in a PM gosha sent me.

I saw a Collingwood fan going off about this on twitter...the irony of supporting JDG apparently was lost on the moron.

 

[RPCB]

InB4 Gero “whoops“ opens the wrong PM in front of the missus.

[chef]

Ugly win but * yeah. 5 goals for Jamarra is pretty special.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Fagan has to be in the firing line. He's basically Grant Thomas Mk. II. Has a talented list and can get them into the top 4, but is incapable of taking them that one extra step further.

 

[RPCB]

A classic battle of bottom 3 sides this year.
