General Footy Tipping and Discussion Thread

Gee I really wanted North Melbourne to win so the pies can get the 2nd draft pick, but gee they always figure out a way to lose LOL

I'd rather them just tank now for the draft pick to tell you the truth. No way in hell we're going to make finals this year. Maybe let the Lions win when we play them later on....

Hahaha, I wouldn't be putting shit on NM. We might have lost majority of our games, but at least we haven't been belted touchwood, lose by 100 next week Close losses say that the foundation is there, whilst frustrating. We need one of Kelly/Martin (or another strong mid) and a good draft pick, with a bit of time I reckon we'll be back up there.

I was watching Daw play today and imo he fumbled literally nearly every possession. He's a big guy and would suit ruck but as a forward atm he is terrible and should be replaced w/ Preuss if they want to go into the big man stocks.

By the way: https://www.facebook.com/AFLTRDON/posts/1521381927928441. You can have him + then we can put Crocker as coach.

That's the same way I feel about Collingwood I wish we finish second last an recruit the best KPF available.

I don't think we've been heavily beaten yet. When have we been beaten by 100 points? And in all honesty I'd rather lose by 30 than lose by less than a goal. North have only won one game by less than 6 points since 2015 and that says a lot. I predicted NM to fall heaps this year and they have. Both North and CWD are rebuilding teams but I reckon and hope we will rebuild faster after we clean out everyone by the end of this year. Buckley took over Malthause's master piece, something he took a decade to build, and for the last six years has slowly and slowly destroyed it. He is terrible, and the fact that Eddie has let him do this means that we need a COMPLETE clean out.

Daw is overrated. Has the body and athleticism to be great but never have I seen him throw out a consistent form of football.

Hell no to Brad Scott lol

As for our coach next year, I want somebody who has yet to have any head coach experience in AFL level. Someone youngish as well. Fingers crossed!

Didn't say Collingwood specifically. I mean, look on the weekend. Richmond = belted, We belted Adelaide earlier in the season.. these are genuine top 8'ers at the moment. We haven't been belted like that (yet, lol). Look at our percentage too. It's such a fking shame.

And in all honesty I'd rather lose by 30 than lose by less than a goal.

No arguments there. Five times now where we've lost this season ALONE by under a goal. Just BS. I partially blame Todd Goldstein for the miss, but looking at the bigger picture... we could've easily won it if we switched on in the first quarter. Our own fault, like usual.

Hell no to Brad Scott lol

Y not? He might get u to two prelims then ur back on ur ass where u are now. Celebrate good times come on!

[Rod]

I just want us to start off really fresh. Like WB, the saints and the dees have with their coaching staff. I don't want anybody that has had AFL experience and even worse someone that has been sacked (e.g. potentially Scott, Clarkson, Lyon etc).

Would you want Buckley? lol

[Aaron]

Would you want Buckley? lol

I would cancel my membership immediately if that happened. He is just crap, has not done anything substantial as a coach. Good player, bad coach.

They (NM) need Horse. He won't leave the Swans though. I maintain what I said earlier, Crocker. Give him a shot. He wasn't terrible when he was filling in.

I wouldn't mind someone like Crocker. Someone that has been within a coaching box of an AFL team for the last several years. A new face, youngish with lots of potential.

Yeah he sucks. He has destroyed our club. Destroyed what Malthaus built - a premiership team that was so darn young. We should have won more with that team because it was so young. He wasted Pendlebury - we won't get a player like that ever again.

Kinda feel sympathy for him though. This was definitely not his plan lol. I bet he visioned himself with so much glory. He as a player won absolutely everything but a premiership. To win it as a coach would be redemption for him. But unfortunately he has failed.

When we lost against Hawthorn they put the camera on him for ages. He had tears in his eyes lol. Feel sympathy for him but I guess that's footy for ya

Well that was an intense finish, to say the least.

Least one game Saturday afternoon was decent.

-rolls eyes-

Edit: For the first time, I turned it off at 3QT. Pathetic display.

Cats fans must love Isaac Smith...

Dangerfield absolutely destroying the player ratings. By far the best player in the competition I reckon!

mod edit: merge

[brenden]

Dangerfield is easily the best player in the competition rn IMO. That game at full forward is just freaky stuff.

Ben Jacobs close?

[brenden]

Ben Jacobs close?

Probably Brownlow 2018. He's ruled out for the rest of this year, not gonna risk one of the best.

I second this. When he's in form like he is at the moment... I pity whoever has to play on him.
