A.F.L. Thread II

What/when are the seasons in India?

Given they could only really play December - March wouldn't that coincide with the tough conditions?

 

[Redbacks]

Shame to hear about Boof'ead but at least the Hawks passed another mini test of their top 4 credentials. Cats just have so many class players who can step up in the key moments. Still think will struggle against the Pies at full flight though I reckon.

The Crows might as well be patient. If they think Craig is the man, it's obvious that even at 100% capacity the current crop couldn't seriously threaten a top 4 side. A year(s) of development has to be taken and a slide down the ladder to get a low pick might well be worth it in the long run.


Also, how **** is the AFL website for such a professional and massive organisation, lags so often, they need a streamlined version for people who just want stats + scores and don't have 2 minutes to wait between page loads

It's all telstra. Believe it or not it's gotten much better. But it's a telstra site on behalf of the AFL. And it's a shame they contiune to run it

And I'd argue that **** all development is being accomplished this season.....

 

[Spikey]

scully gone pretty much. Same with Walker and Palmer. Callum Ward getting offered a ****-load. Don't get this at all from Sheedy/Choco tbh. This season the 20-23yos the season after 24yo up?

 

[Jono]

For those in Melbourne, at 2pm Channel 7 are having their Footy Flashbacks show dedicated to Richo's career!

Should be awesome

Quote at half time in the Sydney/Richmond game during an interview with the female dietitian of Richmond relating to women's week this week:

"Here at Richmond we've got plenty of women so it's great to work with other women."

There sure are alot of women at Richmond...

Jake King having another blinder at the SCG. 1 kick 2 handballs to half time. Racking up a stellar 7 dream team points to half time. Hopefully Jono has him as captain.

 

[Spikey]

jono being one of many!

stanton out that's just about us done

What's he done? Will he miss next week also?

 

[Spikey]

i dare say it's his shoulder. talk going around he'll need a op at seasons end

 

[benchmark00]

Hopefully enough to keep him out next week

 

[Spikey]

no major stuff happening today we should be at our strongest for a fair while next week with hocking back and sam lonergan hopefully being over his illness

we'll still lose obv

 

[benchmark00]

Next week pretty much shapes both our seasons. If we lose we probs can't make finals unless we upset one of the top four teams. You chumps lose and it makes it hard for you.

8 point game.

Sensational grab by Riewoldt.

 

[benchmark00]

Contested game of footy = Goodes goes missing.

 

[Spikey]

i can see how the next 2 hours is gonna unfold....

 

[benchmark00]

Trouble.

Enjoying the 80's style red shorts on the Bombers. Should be more of it. Richmond should definitely wear yellow shorts.
