Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2022

[serial_thrilla]

Hagdorn is reporting that the Rioli ban decision will be announced today.
2 years backdated, so he'll be available to play later this year.



Soft.

As big as he is, they still rely on him so much because he generates an unbelievable amount of quality clearances when he's on the field. This is seriously going to push WC to almost bottom 4 locks (they'll still win enough games at home to avoid the spoon)

 

[wild side]

The centre square at Optus is his strength. Win the ball there, he's a good clearance player as well, and get it forward.
They'll be vulnerable here now.
Sydney will cut them up in there this Friday

Saints belting Hawks makes our loss a little more bearable.

The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: AFL Round Four

Footy is a passion, not some cold hearted, spread sheet dominated rational exercise. On a Monday, you want irrational reaction. You want emotion to trump

if Titus can sneak in a reference to another member of the Freo BigFooty board JUST to confirm he reads it, that'd be great

I wonder if old mate Coasters will be in here on Friday night, banging on about winning culture after Sydney tear them a new one?

He did a poor job as a whining supporter.

Saints belting Hawks makes our loss a little more bearable.

And they rolled Richmond after us too, who are still no pushovers despite not being their former powerhouse selves.

As much as that loss depressed me greatly, Saints are proving to be one of the form teams of the comp atm to be truthful.

 

[masai tu]

How fat is he going to be after spending months off the legs?

A sponsorship from Jenny Craig must be in the offering.

On a serious note, can’t work out how the fitness / dietitians at the Eagles have let Nic to “not get in shape”. Get him off his feet, and in the off season, use water therapy (swim laps, aquarobics, swim laps), plus a very strict diet.

Tony Lockett never looked like him, big lump of muscle.

personally I'm hoping for someone who reads the brownlow votes slower than Gil does

Surely that's not possible. Unless...

"Coming up next week - 'Brownlow: the Miniseries' "

 

[Square Peg]

I must admit keeping the comp going and getting two full house grand finals over the past two years was damn impressive work. But he should never have survived the Essendon saga

 

[Nothing]

So what major sponsor has the AFL just signed to a multi million dollar deal?

How long before Gil is on the board of crypto.com?

I think Demetriuo was still in charge then.

 

[Square Peg]

I think Demetriuo was still in charge then.

Demetriou was in charge when it happened but Gil was the one giving all the assurances to Essendon in the damage control/cover up in the ensuing years

 

[Taylor]

I think Demetriuo was still in charge then.

He is also the CEO who called into a meeting of key Essendon staff, just by chance, the day before the story was going to break and the investigators were raiding.
