A.F.L. Thread II

[Jono]

Already getting rid of Atley? I'm guessing you did it for Curnow?

I'm holding on to Atley. Gonna give the kid time. Way too early to dump him IMO unless it was for Curnow and you had no one else to get rid of.

 

[Spikey]

yep Curnow. and caddy went for liberatore

back when i picked my dt like 6 weeks ago now, a lot of the players picked were just place-holders. you know "well i'm gonna pick someone around this price, so i'll pick you for now 'cause i know your name". but then i lost my netz, and i figured the DT site didn't have a phone version (WRONG) so a lot of those place-holders are in the team now. in a couple of cases it's worked out. Heppell, Hibberd, Toy and Smith were my 3 subs + last starting in the backs which was great. but the mids and forwards have been a disaster pretty much. luckily i lost foley along the way. i was sure i picked in the team originally but he's gone now. he's been a major disappointment so far. any ideas why?

oh and hey the football is on at 11:20 tonight. it's been pushed forward 10 minutes!

 

[Spikey]

Ablett, Bock and perhaps Rischitelli aside, the mature players have been disgraceful for the Suns today. A leadership role hasn't changed Brown at all while Harbrow and Krakouer just ain't doing enough. Harbrow in particular has made a couple of poor defensive decisions. And I assume Krakouer's manager begged the Suns to get him.....

Michael Coad has been pretty good though (i guess he could count as a mature player). Nac Smith will win a brownlow and Gorringe has been good too. Could be a hell of a ruck combo. All in all I think the young guys have been decent but lacking in decision marking. Just sorta doing what they see first and rushing the kick/hand-ball. Seems like Dixon is up against the entire Bulldogs defence at times

Fair to say Freo made use of the wind in the first quarter vs. Adelaide!

Adelaide have their chance in the 2nd. Need to make it count.

Blight should not be commentating Gold Coast games.

 

[benchmark00]

Lake is so casual. Never looks stressed.

 

[Spikey]

neither should walls, lane and the guy with the glasses re carlton

still at least Blight isn't even pretending to be neutral. i've quite liked blight today tbh. now darcy trying to defend Campbell...that was shocking.

All of channel ten souldn't be calling football itbt.

 

[Jono]

Nah I agree with Benchy, Blight really shouldn't be commentating on GC games. He's on the board.

i quite like the guy also does the swimming tbf

Brennan a lot better that quarter. Quarter-wise probably their best one so far?

 

[benchmark00]

Harley Bennell is going to be a star. Moves so ***ually.

Huddo is a wanker imo ftr.

compared to the likes of bruce, jb and rex huddo is a goddamn hero

Those first three **** on Hudson.

Funny thing is, I never used to mind him on 3AW with Rex, then he started to think he was the best thing in sports broadcasting. Unbareable when Geelong are up and about.

Shame that Clinton Grybus is gone, so polished.

 

[Jono]

Grybas was a God. What a tragedy his death was.

Especially since Foxtel are thinking of bringing back the Footy channel again. White Line Fever ftw!

 

[benchmark00]

I didn't get to see the game last night. Can someone tell me who the subs for Collingwood were? Was it Krakouer/Davis?

 

[Spikey]

davis. krak just didn't get into it. what a ****.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Adelaide are playing some ****ty football, but **** me that was a hell of a goal from Dangerfield.

 

[benchmark00]

Dunno if I've said it here, but Dangerfield will win at least one Brownlow.
