A.F.L Thread

WCE released him because of pressure from the AFL, really. There was no way he could remain on their list, especially with the other stuff going on around them (Kerr, Fletcher in Las Vegas, etc.)

Oh, and Richmond subscribes to Murphy's Law more than any other group or individual in the history of mankind.

I said some time ago on here that I thought that the reason why clubs steered clear of Cousins in the National draft, and why nobody else but Richmond picked him up in the Pre-Season draft, was because of his hamstrings as much as it was the prospect of a drug relapse. Looks like, so far, they were right. The problem with such an injury is that, unlike a broken arm, it can go again at any time and can only be managed but never cured. As with Buckley, such injuries are also hard to shake once you're 30+. Anyway, hard to see him getting picked up by any team next year, or re-signed by Richmond, if he suffers another such injury.

People (mainly the media) jumping the gun here, so he'll be out for a few weeks, what's the big deal? He showed last night how much class he adds to Richmond, was pretty much the only bloke without butterfingers. Not like Richmond gave anything up to take him in terms of the draft and as long as the off field stuff stays away he'll contribute heaps to Richmond over the next few years.

Liam Anthony out with a stress fracture, argh

 

[Jono]

Marty Clarke and Alan Didak showed horrible skills in the last 2 mins of that game, and cost Collingwood the match.

 

[Johnners]

A Collingwood loss is always a good loss, even though I don't particularly like Adelaide (y)

Gutted I didn't get time to update my dreamteam before Thursday, have about 4/5 really crap selections due to players either being injured, or because they're just gash players for DT purposes.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

A few of the new Adelaide players were really good today. Otten and Petrenko in particular.

 

[howardj]

Collingwood got owned in the 1st quarter.

Was a cracker of a game though, for a Round 1 affair at least.

 

[Johnners]

(y) Good to get the season off to a start with a win, even though there were 2 very scrappy quarters (1st and 4th). Rich is going to be a star, has such a good kick on him, still think Freo were crazy for not picking him at 3. Also, despite the fact that Voss like Matthews before him obviously what Adcock to play midfield, when he's in the backline it looks so much more poised imo.

 

[mikeW]

Hurley is going to be something special, awesome debut. Result was something i expected. We will thrash Freo next week.

Zaka (2nd rd draft pick) kicked 7 and had 32 possies in the VFL. These 2 picks have me mega excited.

 

[superkingdave]

Hmac back firing, bout the only newsworthy thing to come out of our game, Zeibell was ok but quiet, Harding goes alright

 

[Jono]

Like what I saw of Hurley for Essendon. Definitely something to take out of the Power loss.

Hamish McIntosh back is awesome

Don't wanna get jumped on for making yet another DT orientated post, but have had a mare. No fewer than five of my starting line up didn't play. Luckily three are covered by emergencies, but that still leaves a two man hole.

Not that big an issue seeing as we play for the league, and not most points.
