writeoff Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I know we have an existing AFL thread but a new season begins this weekend so I thought a new thread would be appropriate. Once the Mickey Mouse Cup (MMC) is over the real stuff will begin. It should be a good season for Crows' supporters but not so good for the cross town rivals in teal. At least they now have a proper footy guernsey. However, every season one team vastly improves, one team dramatically drops, some disappoint, some give hope and only one ultimately wins. What are your predictions? At this early preseason stage without really paying any attention to what has happened regarding transfers and injuries I believe the cup will be fought between Geelong, St Kilda, the Western Bulldogs, Adelaide with the Lions, Collingwood and Hawthorn a rung below. But that is largely based on last years' form and as I have already stated every season the ladder changes. Once again I will be participating in Dream Team & Super Coach competitions which are free to enter and have some good prizes on offer. PM me if you are interested in playing. It would be nice to have an SAUSA league with bragging rights at stake. GO CROWS! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/307800-afl-2010/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthatr_emains Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) I'm hoping the mighty sainters make a good go of it again this year, although it will be difficult getting excited with a win, knowing losing last years premiership was only the third loss for the year. Pretty ghey. Edited February 11, 2010 by allthatr_emains Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/307800-afl-2010/#findComment-5082967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, for a minute there I thought you were referring to actually forming an SAU-SA Footy Team....but who would we play?? maybe ns.com I can't run for as long as I used to so midfield would be out, as a defender I give away too many frees (but get a lot of satisfaction doing it) and as a key forward, you better hit me on the chest cause I refuse to crumb (Fev Syndrome).....feel free to hang off me but only if you've never seen what happened to Peter Caven when Plugga was a Saint Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/307800-afl-2010/#findComment-5083148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLED Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 true lovers of footy wouldn't want the magpies to dissolve...even if you hate them someone in the paper said it'd be like Star Wars without Darth Vader........you'd have no one to hate anymore.

ISC-Performance Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hopefully Hawthawn will do better this year and Brisbane will definetly be a team to look out for. I would say top 4 will be Geelong, Saints, Adelaide and Brisbane. Would be good to see Fremantle win a few more games then last year but I doubt it with so many young players coming in.... :-( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/307800-afl-2010/#findComment-5084209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangles Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 In walks the roving ruckman / centre-half forward Sled, you me and the footy, would be a good contest (bar the height difference, lol) used to be with south adelaide, one day many moons ago i had a chance to go the bigtime. took a long time to get over the bitterness of my knee-failure(s) trained 5x week plus individual gym/run sessions, 2 or 3 games a weekend, got big at the gym and would cover 100km a week. knees were already knackerd and I screwed them into the ground, always dislocating and continuing on go you panthers & crows! definately need port power magies in sanfl and crows with sanfl affliliate team (ie reserves) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/307800-afl-2010/#findComment-5084234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangles Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 * quick hands. A.jarman would have been proud, Tiller was my coach, good to see young tiller getting a few games in the afl, I remember him as a bubs then had applegarth and anderson and hopefully hanby gets the south captaincey, great bloke trained with him a fair bit. had a few footy aquantinces go thru, ie fitzey, jeff booth was going to be a star at the lions, 10mins game time 3-4 screamers, 2 broken legs. lol, thats how it goes Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/307800-afl-2010/#findComment-5084243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeoff Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 If only we could all take away the years and injuries from our bodies. I used to be a handy HBF/BP back in the day. Didn't have a penetrating kick and wasn't the cleanest of marks but once the ball hit the ground I was in my element. Was really good at contested footy and reading the play. Only played school boy level although did play against Ben Hart, Nick Holland, Seb Parker (who was drafted in the initial Crows' squad but did his knee in a staff v PACOC basketball match prior to the 1991 pre-season) and bunch of guys that made in onto AFL or SANFL lists but didn't get a game. As a Glenelg supporter the SANFL needs the PAMFC. Also I wouldn't want the mantle of Most Successful Club to go to a Victorian club. So... and this is hard to say... 'Save the Magpies'. Plus I really hate Collingwood so having a SANFL Magpies team that is older and more successful is a needle in Fat Ed's spine, which I love!

Very good call Dave! It's not rocket science.....just common sense! With the help of Pickard, hopefully the Power can purchase the Prince of Wales and keep it in the family. I've even heard talk of getting the PA Magpies heritage listed, lol.....then no one can touch them and the greedy Leigh Wicker can give a little back to the SA teams.
