Discussion 2023 Round 4: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Drew]

Wayne-o Milera!! Nice snap!

 

[Locky27]

Any chance of Young getting near the ball? Will trade out this week if he puts in a 3rd stinker in a row

Should have just traded him out this week, you & me

 

[Rowsus]

Improved fitness/speed of players (everyone has the fitness of a Craig Braddley) has impacted the game and minmised the space available for run and carry.

So what you are saying is, the players no longer eat 6 Dim Sims, and have a smoke at half-time, like Mick Nolan did?!

First week, i was willing to put it down to getting hurt early. Second week was just a bad game. But its becoming a trend now.

To quote Jack Dyer 'He is very good at being were than ball ain't'.

 

[Drew]

Imagine trading in Luke Ryan.

My opponent in my public league has Luke Ryan as their captain 🤡

That’s a light snack for a half time break!

 

[Rowsus]

It was just more attractive and intelligent footy. Fitness has improved in proportion to the deterioration of footy smarts and strategy.

Blame Ron Barassi. He used to say "Give me an athlete, and I'll turn him into a footballer". As opposed to Paul Roos on picking Oliver "He may not be the fittest, but he's a footballer. We can get him fit".*

*Roos quote not word for word.

May be a ghost ship.

Laird hasn't gone 110+ against Freo since 2015. He only has 2 x 100+ scores against them in that time.

'past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.'
At least that's the line I'm running with.

Robbie McGhie after the 1973 AFL Grandfinal

Possibly a reflection on the relative strengths of those departments in the eras as well...

I think the conditioning teams now could get anyone fit, so better they already know how to play footy. Back in the day, probably not so much right?

 

[Miller is a Steele]

Wish I ended up going for Rachele, him and Rankine are going to be awesome for Adelaide for years to come…

 

[Drew]

May be a ghost ship.

Could be, has a full playing list otherwise.

 

[Leroy]

On ya Jordan, one starting pick I got right it seems.

 

[Peter56]

 

[Drew]

Crows 6.1, loving their goal kicking efficiency the last couple of weeks.

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

1 mark 1 kick in an entire quarter for someone of his calibre... just shocking and appalling

 

[Ironhawk]

On ya Jordan, one starting pick I got right it seems.

The best scoring player on each side is a Jordan at QT.
