Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 19: Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Professer E]

Apparently I'm a loser because I didn't play footy at AFL level, so I can't have an opinion.

Not much the club can do at the moment, the only two KPPs they have left are both KPDs.

But I've got to ask this question, why such a change in a week form a list that had quite a similar mix of talls and smalls?

I realise Cripps for McKay is not a like for like, but the mix remained, yet the problem wasn't really in those KPPs, it was in the defensive run from the midfield and small forwards.

I covered these sorts of questions earlier.

IMO we were rather lucky the last couple of weeks. I thought it was a miracle the cats didn't get a hold of us when we only had Weitering, Harry and TDK.

Then i thought we were pretty lucky against the Pies, even when we had Jones back.

Losing Harry for the kangas game was a bridge too far IMO. The straw that broke the camels back.

Yep, that member comment was petty, disrespectful and juvenile Prof.  Sh@t me right off

Well I'd guess we are all losers then as I am yet to know of anyone on this site who has declared themselves as an ex AFL player. If I had to guess, the only one would come close is Steph Chiocci (Chiacci17 back in the day). Knowing Steph personally, I can guarantee you she would be the last person to deny you an opinion

Are you saying there are members on this forum that haven’t  played AFL? Outrageous,  I’m outta here?

You do NOT belittle the opinion of a member on ANY account.  He did.  Lost all respect for any of his comments.

Swan McKay used to post on one of the forums.
Andrew Walkers dad was on here for a while (parents shouldn't get involved in forum activity, they'll get no joy from it.)

You sometimes read a comment where a poster will tell another that they 'know nothing about football.'
Funny thing is it's usually the original poster whose football knowledge is questionable.
Football is not that predictable and is totally illogical.
Our views are often based on our own perceptions.. and in many cases biases.

re Injuries (and not allowed to use that as an excuse)......f**k that noise.

Sure, players should put in effort, and thats a separate issue. But lack of team balance can put players in that frame of mind to an extent.

But like in that video above, the negativity towards Teague not being able to orchestrate some moves against the 18th side is bollocks.
Yes, he is employed to coach the side.
Yes, a builder is employed to build a house.

But....if that builder can't get access to Timber, Bricks and Concrete.....doesn't matter how good that builder is, that house is not getting built!

Teague simply doesn't have the materials at his disposal so suggesting that he can't coach because he lost to the 18th side is ignorant.

We have a teams worth of injuries on the sidelines, some of the players we have playing are not fit (Cripps should be on the sidelines too!) 2021 is done. Lets not ruin 2022 by jumping at shadows.

Sorry, what is all this in reference too?
I think i've missed something here.

Injuries are an excuse.
They destroy your structures, your planning and put extra burdens on those who have to cover the injured.
They are especially important when they occur mid match
