Re: Changes for next week
Despite popular conception, Victoria is neither the centre of the universe nor the centre of the universe in regards Australian Rules Football
There are Australian Rules Football competitions in other States
And pretty fair competitions as well
Maybe even with some sides that would give St Kilda a lesson

Just to get my head around it!!!!!
I'm confident in saying its not Geelong!!!!!
Seems from the way I read it, To the Top is a former AFL player!!!!!
How blessed we are if that's the case?????
Mind you, most Nursery Rhymes start with, 'Once Upon A Time', don't they!!!!!
You're just plain bizarre sometimes SC.
Do you understand what a question mark means?????
I thought 5 of these ? might have strongly suggested It was asking a question!!!!!
So, are you saying they didn't play AFL?????
Cause if you are saying that, you wouldn't know, as you already stated you don't know either of us!!!!!
That's why the 'question' was directed at To the Top and only he/she can answer honestly!!!!!
Thanks for your thoughts, however you are way off the mark to suggest I'm making stuff up!!!!!
I asked a Question!!!!!
'Cause StoneCold Said So'!!!!!

You just seem to be weirdly attached to finishing each sentence with multiple exclamation marks and/or question marks ... as if using more than one somehow emphasises whatever point it is you're attempting to make. Strange.
Go you red, black & white warriors

The VFL is easily the 2nd best comp in the land. Followed by the WAFL and SANFL but the quality drops off with the bottom half sides.. NEAFL...lol. Tassie...lol. NT is nothing special.

the sanfl have beaten the vfl in five of their last six meetings - by an average of 30 points.
the sanfl gets higher crowds easily. gets crowds over 30,000 for its grand finals. the vfl hovers between 11 and 17 generally.
the vfl is a poor cousin, and not as good. watch games from both.
any neutral will say the same thing - the sanfl is comfortably the second biggest and second best football league in the country. and yes, i'm a neutral.

Re: Changes for next week
Mate, the AFL listed players in the VFL can't play against SA for starters so that interstate game is irrelevant in comparing standards.
The standard of footy in the VFL is better than the SANFL too because of the AFL influence. The SANFL only get biggers crowds because they only have 2 AFL teams compared to Melbourne's 10 to compete with. On some weekends there might not be any AFL footy in Adelaide or just 1 game. Obviously people in SA (that don't have alot to do anyway) will go watch the SANFL all weekend.
Seperate issue, but the fact Victoria has a country and metro side in the U/18's champs and the majority of AFL listed players come from Vic speaks volumes. Yep. Vic is the centre of the AFL universe.

It's this sort of post which continues to push an agenda where you lose all credibility. It's biased and subjective and has nothing to do with reality. You and some other simpletons just want to use Hickey as a scapegoat for a 10 goal loss and it highlights how poor a judge you are. Have you looked at the stats on the night for the ruckmen? Why do you continue to repeat the same boring baseless bulltish?
You do not understand or know Ruckwork, that's obvious!!!!!
Your the only simpleton, not blaming Hickledik only for the 10 goal loss, just stating that he is s*** and we will never be any good with him in the team!!!!!
The reality is, Hickey is rubbish and you have never played a single minute in the ruck if you think differently!!!!!
Check all the stats you like, Nank won the battle, Hickeys possies are a waste of time!!!!!
Think what you like, I don't care, your opinion is that of a arm chair expert!!!!!
Go away!!!!!
Hickey out
Anyone else in!!!!!
Who can play ruck better than him, Longer is a billion times worse so we're not going there again.

Re: Changes for next week
I thought the WAFL had accounted for the SANFL the last 2 times. The standard in the SANFL has dropped markedly in recent times. I wouldn't be getting too excited about the crowds at the SANFL games - when I have gone to home away games there has been plenty of room and no queues for anything The finals are double headers and still don't pull a crowd.desertsaint wrote: ↑Tue 24 Jul 2018 8:33pmobviously a blindly parochial victorian.parkeysainter wrote: ↑Tue 24 Jul 2018 7:43pmYes it is.

Re: Changes for next week
There are some on here showing their total ignorance of competitions outside of Victoria
The AFL recruit from Under 18 competitions where SA won the competition this year
In SA they only have 8 Clubs fielding Under 18 sides - so a lessor pool of players
Many of those Under 18 players go from the Under 18 competition directly to the AFL having no Senior representation at their home Clubs
There are exceptions such as Aish (twice), Fantasia and Dumont who played in Senior premiership sides ahead of being eligible for the Draft

Re: Changes for next week
Hardwick gave Nank a vote in the coaches association award so stone reckons it justifies his view.
I reckon Hardwick knows that Nank has one of the hardest tasks coming up against Brodie Grundy this week, so a timely encouragement award was always on the cards.
Fact of the matter is that Nank was up against Marshall for 20-30% of the game. Hickey's stats were equal to Nank and his ruckwork versus Nank was very good. No one can say outright that Nank influenced the result of the game or influenced the final margin
If we had won the game by 10 goals and you objectively look at Hickey's work for the night, including his tap outs, you'd probably be justified as a coach in giving Hickey 1 vote as well.
Stone is compromised with his view. Claims to be a Saint supporter but is only interested in pushing an agenda. Who the hell slags a Saints player and makes up a derogatory nickname for the player? You're not quite right

Talk about your short straws, I've obviously been giving you too much credit, I really thought you had some idea!!!!!
And to blame Marshall, well f*** me, you really love and protect Tom don't you?????
PS. You know for sure do you, that Hardwick gave Nank the vote?????
PPS. One of the coaches stated outright that Nank influenced the result (by giving him a vote), but, hey they wouldn't know better than you, would they!!!!!
