AFL General Discussion

Melbourne could be well on the slide

They were big standard average last night against the Swans

Adam Oooooooooozaaaaaayyy

Don’t think he’s a student of our recent history.

He’s done a ‘Scott Watters’ after walking in as new senior coach at Richmond. I actually reckon Watters was doing the right thing (considering the club hadn’t achieved the ultimate) but Watters perhaps didn’t get support from his captain and leaders. Also with St Kilda we didn’t have 2 legends retiring in Cotchin and Jack as Richmond have had. Plus Shane Edwards and Bachar Houli not easily replaced, plus Dusty looks like he’ll never get back to the player he was in that premiership era.

Richmond getting pumped half way through the second quarter …Round Zero…

I’ve heard Yze in interviews and he sounds like an over ambitious tosser. He’s talking about aiming for ‘premierships’ when realistically, they’re at Level 1 stage of a rebuild. Ground Zero!! They’ll be in rebuild mode for the next 5 years at least imo

How long before the senior players revolt? How long before the fans (the media) and the board kick him out?

Pretty quickly if their first half effort is anything to go by, down 61 points to the Suns at half time is not an ideal start.

Good work.

Maggots crucify Roos on Good Friday gifting the brownbaggers 8 charity goals from a lop sided free kick count.

[Scollop]

Essendon are

Made to look ordinary by a very good team in Port Adelaide

We did that to them last year in our 150th anniversary game.

We made a lot of errors last week. I don't think we'll have 2 bad games in a row

Gawd, the maggots just duded Freo.

I love watching Harley Reid.

I love watching Harley Reid.

I love watching good games of footy

The Gold Coast game was unbelievable. What a goal feast

The Port game v Hawthorn

And then... tonight...how good is it to see a bottom team beat a top 4 team and West Coast actually kicked over 100 points

I love watching Harley Reid.

Wasn’t it fantastic to see him do the fend off first to Oliver then pirouette and to the same thing to Petracca in a matter of seconds? Harley looks as if he’s totally enjoying himself & has dragged a few ageing Eagles along for the ride now.

Although I hope in a couple of weeks time when Eagles play the Saints here in Perth, another family member in Tongala has a birthday and Simpson sends him back to Tongala to be with his family & be managed. Don’t think we have a player who can go with him, so he might cause us some embarrassment…… Maybe Windy is the best bet??

Or his mate from junior days, who also comes from a town in Vic not far from him, in Darcy Wilson. Darcy obviously not as strong but be interesting to see who can run the fastest.

North must be kicking themselves for not tanking and getting hold of Harley Reid when they had the chance, he looks to me like the best draftee this century, and that includes Chris Judd. Such incredible strength and pace, an absolute game breaker!

Great challenge and opportunity for Darcy Wilson from the same intake to be given the job to "mind" Reid. They've probably played on each other in junior footy.

Or who lasts the longest in the AFL? I think Harley Reid, the way he plays might get banged up very quickly.

I’m so impressed with our ‘under the radar’, Darcy Wilson, just hope we can keep him in a Saints jumper and get another 300 games out of him - he has potential, ‘A’ grader written all over him.
In the interviews with Wilson, he appears such a level-headed, self-effacing and humble young fellow, that will let his football talents do the talking for him.
Also with Bob Murray as a family friend, he can only be a Saints champ!!
