AFL 2020 Season

[Wedgie]

2011 had everything, Meatloaf , Geelong being written off 12 months earlier when Ablett and Thompson left, Varcoe's goal in the first 15 seconds, Collingwood almost with a match winning lead in the 2nd quarter, Podsiadly going off injured in the 2nd, Cloke kicking 60 metre goals from the boundary and Hawkins finally stepping up and taking the game by the scruff of the neck.

I was at the game in 2011 wondering if Meatloaf sounded as bad on TV as he did at the ground. I remember my punting partner putting a big syndicate bet on Collingwood (I was OK with backing them, but not at the amount invested). Messaged him during the game saying Geelong's bigger midfield bodies were too much for the Pies counterparts. He went out and loaded up on the Cats at halftime, for himself but not our syndicate

Yeah we thought the same about the meatloaf as the speakers near us were shocking, was funny to find out later it was even worse on TV as they could actually hear him!

I was texting mates asking "IS this as bad on TV as it sounds at the ground???" .. Lol can vividly remember think "WTAF is this rubbish", it was unmistakably bad

Simon Black just saying that night time at the GABBA in October will be worse for dew than now. It wont be a great look for the showpiece of our game.

I wonder if they could install big fans around the GABBA, given it wont be a capacity crowd some seats could be removed and fans installed. It would only take 2 or 3 of them. Fans like we have in the Barossa for protection from frost, i really think its doable. Before anyone says it would effect the flight of the ball, it wont, its only a light breeze, just enough to keep the air moving

Just get Clarko to come in and bitch and moan. All that hot air will get rid of the Dew for sure.

All this talk about the dew at the Gabba & the chance it may “ruin the showpiece” that is the Grand Final, f#ck me...
How many rain soaked GF’s have we watched over the years at the MCG?
Plenty.

Anything has got to better than last year's shitstorm. Even Port put up a better show in 07.

But it will be on at night. The nufties in media central will be getting hard just thinking about it.

BTW, has Black seen a game of footy at the moment - it's very miss-able. I think the game itself will ruin the spectacle, not the weather.

True, 5 goals will win it

Anyone else have a small chuckle that despite being deep into the start of a rebuild the Crows didn't have anyone nominated in the Players Association best under 22 squad below?

Yes.

Connor Rozee anyone?

Yes.

Connor Rozee anyone?

Guess its based on this year only? He's been down in form a little & missed a few games due to that foot injury. Otherwise we know he would be in there.

[laser]

Sam Powell-Pepper is under 22???

[PatowalongaPirate]

I think the criteria is minimum 8 games, otherwise Gold Coast would have had another player nominated in Rowell.

[Dutchy]

Yep LDU has only played 7 games so got excluded

Yep, I don't think he'd be ahead of any of those on the forward list based on this years form.

A couple on the defender list are making up the numbers.

[Booney]

Sam Powell-Pepper is under 22???

Turns 23 in January next year.

Yes.

Connor Rozee anyone?

Can't find the exact qualification criteria but believe it is must be 22 or under at the end of Finals and also played 8 games. Not sure when the 8 games is cut-off seeing as though the Crows play tonight?

Anyway they have 19 players on their list that make the age cut off - I think

McAsey, Hamill, McHenry, Jones, Murphy, Stengle and Himmelberg are the only ones who played 8 or more games.

Fair enough that none of the above made the squad. Stengle and Himmelberg have probably shown the most but not often enough. Two of Hamill's games where wiped out with concussion and McAsey to be fair struggled to impact in the games he played.

Of those that didn't make the criteria Schoenberg, Sholl and McPherson look the best prospects for mine.

[The Bedge]

The squad is based purely off Champion Data statistics.. that's why no Crows made it.

What a cock up,

Rozee would be close to the best player in that squad.

Not purely mate.
