Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[Bay62]

Frampton would be Ports best defender at the moment.

They had the missing piece and they gave him away!

 

[Bay62]

Kane will back Hinkley full tilt given he carried him to 300 games. Should've been cut at the end of 2012, but Ken gave him a lifeline.

Not only does that explain his defence of Hinkley, but how does doing something like that not kill the culture of a club?

Don’t play the person who deserves a place, play someone just so we can get our first 300 gamer, then let them go mid season. They’re not interested in hanging around and helping the team win games for the rest of the year?

Disgraceful move

Hayward: Yes.

Tends to be my musings as well. Hayward offers a dynamic we could use more of, while Petty is a position I feel comfortable with at present.

Get Petty for a future 1st and trade Butts for a future 2nd? I could get behind that, I guess.

But mostly I agree. Petty as a FA is fine but I can't see how we'd give up draft picks for him.

Lets not forget, Petty is basically "free" in 2025 for us to take.

Our priority should be elsewhere during the trade period in 2024.

 

[Geoffa32]

Do we all Petty purely because he is linked to us, or do people actually want him?



If FA in 2025, probably worth getting if salary not ridiculous.

A trade, no way.


Our backline is a pretty tight cohesive unit, and is he a better forward than anyone we have?


I don't see why we need him?

I certainly don't. I will actually be very disappointed if we trade for him. I agree. I don't think we need him at all. Much more pressing issues to address.

 

[GROTTO]

A trade, no way.

For a contracted player too, the Dees will be demanding a future 1st and thats just massive overs for him.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Wilson as well as Curtin would have been a very nice draft for us....

They would want more than that I reckon.

Just not worth it.

Brown out for 4 weeks you would think?

The AFL will eventually ban the bump altogether, because players use it an option instead of tackling. If the bump was banned altogether, the option to bump "would" never be considered by players.

 

[Crow_68]

Just saw the Brown v McCartin incident - contender for the worst hit of the season.

Got nothing on Webster's hit, but definitely not good.

Yeah I agree, I think 4 is right.

 

[Crow_68]

Some of the umpiring this round has reached new levels of incompetency.

Ah yes, forgot about that one.

It was similar in degree to SPP and he got 4+, so thats the benchmark.

Arguably SPP was worse, but then again, I hate Port.

Purely on that alone should have been more

looking pretty cooked. Is he just getting a game because he's mates with Clarkson?

Petty would easily make our best 22 ATM. As a marking forward, he looks better than Fog or Tex. A breakout TT improves our forward setup immensely.
Such a shame he will miss most of the year.

Even with TT and a resurgent Fog, there's still room now. And definately after Tex retires.

(I think we might aim for him end of 25 as free agent. Tex to retire at this same time)

Yep, given McCartin failed concussion test & has a history of concussions.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Some of the umpiring this round has reached new levels of incompetency.

Imo the umpiring was better when they had 3 field umpires as easier to see how the other one is interpreting the game.

Token experience.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Token experience.

Feel like they'd have been better off hiring him as a development coach instead of wasting games on him.
