The Association Football AFL Thread

[UnitedWarrior93]

You’ve got a weird obsession with us, a team you should be envious of really.

Even when we’re struggling to jump the last hurdles we’re making finals with ease, and do so being one of the highest scoring sides most years.

Let it go dude, Freo might make finals sometime this decade.

Port played great footy this year but were forced into a rugby scrum. It happens.

Look, it works for Richmond, good on them, 3rd GF appearance in 4 years, but it’s a shocking game style, boring to watch, it’s literally rugby.

 

[chef]

As boring as it is how ******* effective is it. Like Mou-ball while you winning its great.

Dusty will go close to being as good as any to play the game by the time he finishes his career. What a sliding doors moment for Richmond with his almost moves to Giants and North.

 

[Fwoy]

Boak and Gray will be 33 next season though, they are running out of time.

Last time we made the prelim was 2014 and we went in to the next season as flag favourites - we didn't win another final until two weeks ago. Just gotta hope we can build on it this time and come back stronger.

yeah I didn’t realise their ages, but the process looks solid, so if the young guys continue to excel, and the team buys into the process, anything is possible. Look at our injuries this year and young players step up and fill the roles til the main guys return. Balta, Chol, Jake Aarts, Oleg Markov

taking the next step to regular spot takers, and Caddy not even able to get in.

 

[Fwoy]

I don’t find it boring

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Dusty will go close to being as good as any to play the game by the time he finishes his career.

Hang on. Back that truck up.
He won’t even end his career as the best mid from the 00s.

It’s not like Geelong play champagne football

Never said they did.

We use to though

When we won flags we did. As did Hawthorn. All changed now, crap wins medals.

 

[Kram]

Danger flopping like an Italian soccer player, what a utensil head.

 

[Van_Dyke]

good start this by the cats, should be up by more

 

[Van_Dyke]

Scott can actually be feeling rightfully aggrieved right now, some of these calls are something

 

[glenferry23]

Cats should definitely be up by more. Brisbane somehow hanging in there, but I get the sense this could get ugly.

 

[Van_Dyke]

congrats to the cats, clearly the better side tonight and by some margin for most of the match

 

[chef]

Great to see Gazzas last game is going to be a GF.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Go Tigers I guess? Don't think I can stomach Danger winning a flag.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Congrats cats we meet again May the best side win

 

[Magma]

just not enough forward options for brisbane, and too many times outclassed in midfield. why they brought in a plodder like cey is beyond me.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Bring it on.

hopefully learnt a fair bit from last game against tiges, we were putrid that game.

Gaz

 

[Kram]

Gaz wound back the clock 5 years.

 

[RPCB]

No matter who wins next week, supporters everywhere should stand and applaud the little master on one of the finest careers in VFL/AFL history.

Best player I've ever seen.

 

[RPCB]

Best player I've ever seen.

He has had an incredible incredible. He needed a few early years early in his career to become who he eventually became but when he did, he was amazing. Snr and Jnr are the greatest Father/Son duo this sport has produced. And considering the genes, could we perhaps get another amazing Ablett generation in the future?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Remember him saying it and BT absolutely laid into him for it.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Hang on. Back that truck up.
He won’t even end his career as the best mid from the 00s.

Ablett

Pendlebury

Dusty is better then the Carlton Judd tbh.

Fyfe should be the next best after Ablett imo, Bloke is legit a great of the game.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ablett Jnr.
Eagles Judd
Fyfe
Martin
Pendlebury

Would be my top 5 mids.
