Lead up to 2013 AFL season - general discussion thread

[GWW]

This thread can be used for anything AFL related that doesn't necessarily need a whole thread dedicated to it.

A few players in the news of late for the wrong reason - some more serious than others..

Lesson here is; 'Boys, save the biffo for the REAL season'

[The Sleeping Giant]

Hannebery should be thrown out of the game.

Prob get less sanctions off the field for it lol

[Brodlach]

Hannebery should be thrown out of the game.

Why would that even be reported?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Don't know how it made the media, and even more bewildering how it is linked here.

[GWW]

That's alright, because I'm bewildered by most of your posts too.

In other "news", the Advertiser reports that the Crows have picked up a "recruiting guru", who was previously employed by Port Adelaide (Phil Bunn, who it appears virtually no one knew was employed by the PAFC, or had ever heard of..presumably its the former North Adelaide player).

Whoever has been doing our recruiting in recent times is certainly no gun!!

They said he has had a good track record of recruiting and developing players at Port over the last 5 years....

Thought I read somewhere that he had been responsible for Port's Victorian based scouting? Not sure exactly who that includes, but think it unlikely any selections that fit that category would be worse than their local selections of recent years?

[GWW]

Well, he's a "guru", so clearly he is a huge loss to the club.

Being half serious, the major issue to me, is the way it was reported in the paper, in particular the headline, it is the off season though, so I guess anything is big news.

But if we look at Jacobs, Moore, and Pittard - the jury is probably out on their selection. Recruiting from other states hasn't always been fantastic admittedly.

Looks like Morabito may have done his knee for a third time

Terrible news not just for him and Freo but the for AFL in general. The bloke can seriously play.

[Tiger83]

Time to retire unfortunately i think. It is clear his body cannot stand up to the rigours of AFL footy...

[Johno6]

AFL said it was a knee "scare" on twitter, then you click the link and it says he has done his ACL.

since when has an ACL (especially a third ACL) been a scare.
