2011 AFL Off Season Thread - We are Geelong, the greatest team of all, for now

[Vlad n U 2]

Milburn is our new defensive coach.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Brisbane's Mitch Clark + 29 + 34 > Fremantle for 16 + 20 + 38

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Adelaide receive MD#2 (to get Crouch) and Luke Brown for pick 10 and the Davis compensation pick.

According to a few sources, we're looking at moving Tippett on.

Sam Reid (Bulldogs) is going to the GWS as uncontracted player no. 5.

 

[cobl04]

Ahmed Saad's gone to StK, great pick up for them and a fantastic bloke to boot.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Have you met him? There was a story on him on SBS a few days back in which you could just feel Craig Foster's veins bursting as Saad was a promising soccer player too.

 

[cobl04]

I posted the video interview I did with him in the last thread.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh, I forgot about that, my bad.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, how awful that the guy's chosen to play the more interesting sport!

And we all know how Craig Foster feels about the AFL.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Tom Lynch > Adelaide, Evaaarrnnn Maric sad to Richmond and pick 37 to St. Kilda

Brent Renouf > Port Adelaide, pick 33 > Hawthorn

 

[Axver]

Door opens for Fevola? AFL club sounds out fallen forward

Surely not?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

As silly as it sounds, considering his repeats of shitheadedness, I think it would be stupid if a club badly in need of a forward overlooked him. Just give him a strict contract and if he stuffs up, he's out. This is a risk that may be worth taking.

 

[Axver]

I don't doubt that he wouldn't mess up off-field again, since he'd know it's his last chance. But is all the baggage worth it? And will he perform?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Hasn't he been consistently kicking bags in the VFL?

Even then, give him a pre-season.

 

[The Sad Punk]

So, a certain Adelaide United beat a certain Melbourne Victory last night...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Maybe need an A-League thread?

Also, Scott Watters is the new St. Kilda coach.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Lewis Johnston > Adelaide with Tony Armstrong + 35 + late pick > Sydney

Excited with the Lewis Johnston trade, a sure fire replacement for Gunston.

 

[cobl04]

Maybe need an A-League thread?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'm not getting this.

 

[Axver]

I'm not getting this.

About five people care about the A League and I think only one or two of them post on Interference.

(An improvement from the NSL days when the amount of people who cared was actually below zero.)

That is so true.

Quick, to the bandwagon!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Clark > Melbourne for pick 12 on a 4 year deal. Weird backflip alright.

 

[Axver]

That is so true.

Quick, to the bandwagon!

Even SBS struggled to care back then!

 

[cobl04]

Clark > Melbourne for pick 12 on a 4 year deal. Weird backflip alright.

That's surprising. You gotta wonder how he'll perform given how hellbent he was on getting home.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

For Axver:

[cobl04]

Fuck you Bomber.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Expected comment.

 

[intedomine]

I could get really riled up about some of the above comments, but I'm biting my lip.

What I will say though is that in 10 years time, A-League attendances will be higher than NRL.

Anyway.. Richmond have Maric, now we need another key defender in support of Rance and the returning Moore and Grimes, and we're set to make finals.

lolololololo get Fev

 

[The Sad Punk]

The only time the A-League ever really matters is when Adelaide are playing the Victory, hence yesterday.

Can't see A-League audiences outnumbering NRL audiences in just a decade, tbh. Obviously there's a larger support base than Axver made out to be, but way too many people, even developed soccer fans of European/Middle Eastern/African origin, just don't take it seriously and prefer higher level leagues. Which is fair enough, I think. Nonetheless, I can still see it growing eventually. Has a better chance than the NBL ever did, at least.
