A.F.L. Thread II

[Jono]

Yes, that'll seal it.

Gaff looks the goods. WC using him as a sub player but surely he's good enough to start in their 21?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Lol. I miss Mikew

Meanwhile, FFS Eagles, get over the line.

The lack of mikew and Matt will make this thread worse off, imo. Similar to Simon's disappearance and the tennis thread.

 

[Spikey]

mikew, matt, simon, pews who's next?

("hopefully that **** jono")

 

[vic_orthdox]

Andrew Gaff
Jamie MacMillan
Cameron Howat

Just more products of the great institution that is Camberwell Magpies Cricket Club.

Actually, including Dowling, we'll claim TCloke, MMurphy and BGoddard.

 

[Spikey]

personally if it was me i wouldn't be claiming a cloke but hey.

 

[Spikey]

toy sub. fuuuuuuuuu.

 

[Mr Casson]

Would be ****ting himself now.

And now the hardest decision I've got to make is what to spend my $10,500 on. Tempted to see what the going rate for a hit on Murphy's life would be. Think I might get a discount rate if I ask the right person (i.e. anyone).

I'm untouchable. Unlike your sister.





Charlie Dixon is so big.

 

[Spikey]

like your sister

 

[Mr Casson]

Charlie Dixon is so big.

Assuming you're talking about his frame, in which case I'd agree. Like his style tbh, has a burst of pace and doesn't mind a bit of harassment, not unlike your sister itbt.

 

[benchmark00]

****s.



I'm claiming Charlie Dixon as my boy ftr.

 

[Spikey]

looks like dane swan will be giving 200 a shot in his game against the gc....

 

[superkingdave]

Lol Walters wtf was that

 

[Redbacks]

Kerr is back still my favourite player in the AFL (partly for being the antithesis of the Crows).

Watched half the game, as my club played the curtain raiser, thought West Coast looked pretty good, they should be a much better side this season, looking at their bio's nearly all their side are over 80kgs now, so it looks like they have moved away from being a lean ultra-fit team to copy the more balanced physical style of the Cats/Pies. On the other side of the equation Port had no forward structure other than Robbie Grey being gun, so maybe it's not the best opponent to judge how well the back 6 and others went as they were given too much license and really made them pay.

The new lad Jack Darling for the Eagles is a big unit with good hands, at 18 it looks like they finally have a key forward in the pipeline.

 

[Mr Casson]

Josh Kennedy?

 

[NUFAN]

So how was K Hunt's debut? Judging by the scoreline, it looks like a long season for the Suns..

Is any AFL fans actually liking the bye? I used to hate it in the NRL when they had byes from round 1, who needs a break in round 1 of the season ffs.

 

[Redbacks]

Bit hard to judge K Hunt given the game was a walkover and the suns had 12 first gamers in the team. He did ok as a one on one defender by the looks of it. Once your midfield gets thrashed defenders are in trouble no matter how good they are as they are always reacting, without pressure on the incoming pass, you shouldn't beat the attacker 9/10 times.

He might be an ok player, but I reckon he will not enjoy going from an absolute superstar in one code, to a possibly a solid competitor in another and switch back after his contract finishes if the $$ fall away.

 

[Redbacks]

Josh Kennedy?

True, I just don't rate him as a key forward where you can bang it in long and then expect him to domintate the 50/50 physical battles, will need to be more of a Riewoldt type lead up player, thus he won't be kicking 70 goals a year based on what I have seen so far. He's got good speed, made two great chases in the 1st quarter. The kid Darling at 18 looks ready to play against men which makes the results of 2-3 years of development down the track look very exciting.

 

[Jono]

Ooh Swans get over the line. Tight game. Essendon just couldn't break away and Swans fought back.

 

[superkingdave]

Lol Melbourne. Tuned in when they were 2 goals up.
