A.F.L. Thread II

[superkingdave]

Adelaide putting in a solid second half performance...

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Jesus that was an ordinary half. Port looked a rabble in the first quarter and a half too, could have easily been 10 goals behind with some better kicking. Hell of a turnaround.

 

[Jono]

Adelaide throwing away a perfect chance to play finals this year considering their draw.

 

[benchmark00]

Adelaide are ****. Other than Dangerfield, they have very ordinary players.

 

[Jono]

That's the point. Despite not being very good they had an amazing draw. Almost a gift from the AFL. And they're stuffing it up.

 

[superkingdave]

Did anyone catch the VFL game on ABC today? Apparently Majak had a decent game including a goal of the year contender, He's coming in 2012

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Dangerfield is definitely not the best player on the Adelaide list, at least not at this point in his career. Anyway, take 8-9 first choice players out of a young side and they're going to struggle. There's a huge amount of talent there, but they have a long way to go and there's key players missing.

I think Adelaide will still make the 8, though.

 

[benchmark00]

Don't be afraid to name these better players.

Fact is, they're a very ordinary football team. The only way the will come close to making the eight is because of their draw.

 

[Spikey]

Thompson is the obvious one. A very young list. Remind of Essendon circa two years a bit - not really a lot in the 23 - 28 area. Didn't understand why everyone was picking them for the 8 mind you until I saw their draw.

Keep on junking it up Sylvia. You too Toy. Looking like it'll be my top score for the year. Mind you i've only got to beat 1,987...

 

[superkingdave]

Argh Lindsay Thomas can be so frustrating,

We can't kick for ****, lucky to still be in touch.

 

[Spikey]

poor old Suban

chance for 2100 if Broughton fires. which he won't.

Fact is, they're a very ordinary football team. The only way the will come close to making the eight is because of their draw.

Thompson, Van Berlo, Vince and Douglas are all more accomplished midfielders than Dangerfield at this stage in his career, and then you can throw in Rutten, Doughty and Johncock down back as well. and Porplyzia when he's fit. Dangerfield's going to be a great player but he's got a long way to go.

Anyway, ordinary is relative. Definitely not a contender but won't finish bottom 4 either, keeping in mind that it's the same team that pushed Geelong, St. Kilda and Collingwood in the last few weeks last season, just with a lot of injuries.

Argh Lindsay Thomas can be so frustrating,

how can you even kick 0.6 i don't understand. Gee North are in trouble

2098 Hoping for a tackle to be added

Might have to trade out Broughton soon. With Adcock, Goddard, Boyd and Riewoldt to come back in I think I'm heading in the right direction. Special thanks to Didak and Sylvia who each got around 60 points in their last quarters after doing nothing all match

Next week's byes don't hurt me much. Although they do mean I'll have to go in with 2 of Krakouer, Richardson & Matera who have all been pretty dire so far.

Next week is horrible btw. Thursday match, two on Monday, another on Tuesday. Boring. Yeah Freo playing on ANZAC day I'm cool with that. But why Hawthorn on Tuesday? I know they usually play on Easter Monday but come on.

 

[BoyBrumby]

2133 for the week in DT. Made up with that as have Boyd and Riewoldt (N) out cos of the byes.

 

[superkingdave]

****in hell Brumby, ranked 233. Better keep it up. Question is, is Jono's performance being affected by the appearance of the mongooses this year

It's insane. I can only suppose I'm using up several lifetimes of jam in one fell swoop.

 

[Redbacks]

Adelaide are ****.

Yeap. Time to get another senior coach.

 

[Jono]

Brumby your Dream Team is awesome.

 

[benchmark00]

Mongooses are in better nick.

240k in the cap. Topping 2,000.

Life = good.
