The Drew Petrie Finals Predictor

[NorthernLights]

I'm not particularly interested in a dick measuring contest involving Footscray in the 1920's no, but it does make me laugh reading you say it doesn't count followed by "Est 1869"

"Est 1869" is referring to the club I support, not the league that it currently plays in. It is obvious to anyone else that the only relevant flags are the one's won in the comp that the team currently plays in (in this case, the top tier comp [VFL/AFL]).

You don't hear Man United fans talking about their division 2 championships.

 

[Rockstar6]

No it wouldn't

Start a thread and ask people! I'll bet my left nut the majority pick Griffen

I'll back the AA selectors over a bunch of randoms on BF

The VFA was the only comp North, Footscray and Hawthorn played in between 1897 and 1924. And there is an argument to suggest the VFA was superior to the VFL.

Fun fact, Footscray are going for a premiership hat-trick on the weekend, having won the VFA/VFL flags in 1923 & 1924

That's irrelevant (and Hawthorn joined the VFA in 1914). It was not the superior comp, hence all 3 clubs were trying to get into the VFL. You realise that the AFL records are all that matter right? VFL/AFL flags only.

Well technically it's the club's reserves team that is playing in the upcoming GF. The 1923/24 premiers were the senior team.

So the AA panel are 100% correct and never wrong? Whatever.

 

[Northworth]

As a forward...

to sum up


no doggies supporter agrees with you that Hahn is a better forward than Murphy

no supporter agrees with you that Matthew Campbell is a better forward/player than Lindsay Thomas

 

[Kcrack]

So you'll admit Thomas > Campbell, considering the former at least made the squad..

Did he really? This year? Good on him

Pretty critical qualifying statements on those. Hahn > Murphy as a forward, Campbell > Thomas as a crumber and under pressure

If I told you they got something wrong, who would you believe?

Captain Deflection at his best.

Matty Campbell's mum just rang to say she read this thread, and Griffy has NFI.

You think they are 100% right with your Libba > Griffen because Libba made the squad of 40!

 

[Kcrack]

Can Drew stand up again on Friday? Surely lightning couldn't strike twice.

Already sunk the druggies kicking the sealers on the AA fb, then had 8 scoring shots against the Cats. LT has kicked 3 goals in both finals doubling Matt "better than Lindsay" Campbell's record as well. Lol

Yeah, say I said Fyfe should be captain over Selwood, who would you listen to?

All true, hopefully they bring it again for you on Friday

I don't care about the AA team all together. It's just a dream team with no salary cap for the selection panel. They only get it right once in a decade if that!

Thoughts on the rising star, AFL players MVP & Brownlow?

hardly
but find someone who agrees with you about either comparison

I rate the AFLPA MVP = Big honour.
The rising star is a mini joke but the right player won it this year. The brownlow is the umpires pet award, you can tell who will win it all or most of the star mids are out for big amounts of time

 

[royals1922]

Matty's Mum

Even she'd have second thoughts now with "Matt, why couldn't you be more like your friend Lindsay"

 

[jacko57]

Matty's Mum

um, no.

Bonts got 6 times more votes than the next highest in the AFLPA best first year player
