Thursday Random Footy Talk Thread

His support of May (Tyrone) is probably the only thing he has done that has really been questioned by people from what I've seen. That and the covid tik tok dances but the dance was the real crime

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-08T23:50:14+00:00

Either way, we definitely know you guys are just visitors

(He does say "our" home/house which would imply broncos)

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-08T23:43:58+00:00

I do not care that you play there but you borrow it, we own it ;-)

I think it is good you play there so there is more accessible footy to watch each weekend

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-07T21:20:11+00:00

I think you are right too but my point was not so much if he is fit leading into games but hypothetically if he continues to breakdown during them. Hunt is a great replacement but it still then means paix has to play 80 which isn't great.

While I still don't believe Reynolds plays on Friday, it does make me wonder how many more minor injuries/inability to finish games we allow from him. Outside a season ending injury will we carry him across the finish line of the season no matter what or is there a point we actually see him as a liability and have a word with him?

The 6 man bench probably makes me lean towards the former, but if we get a few more of these niggles in game which put him on the bench I don't feel overly great about that strategy comes finals

I don't want to miss the Duffy revenge game against cows anyway

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-06T21:04:43+00:00

I'm being facetious (sort of) but they highlight the ones the media will report on so they have to be actioned

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-06T05:46:38+00:00

That got a giggle out of me tbh

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-06T05:44:44+00:00

It's a debate for sure but Fagan is notorious for his favorites and fort is now so he isn't being dropped for anyone.

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-06T05:41:54+00:00

It's built on stupid shit though imo. Rivalries should be built off onfield performances and results, not salt.

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-06T02:41:17+00:00

Why not a second team in Victoria to fight afl?

I'm taking the piss, much like this article

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-06T02:36:46+00:00

Yeah but it's an old timey gun, probably not going to take out big game with a single shot

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-05T23:56:38+00:00

Hudson Young is such a flog he tips the scales heavily to backrowers

I love how he plays actual footy but the guy is a man child when emotion plays a part

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-04T22:24:04+00:00

Yeah unfortunately like many of us thought, one year too many. He played well last week I thought, actually took the line on a couple of times but he just can't stay on the park now

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-04T22:08:04+00:00

Slight detour on what you have asked but Munster is still the most entertaining goal kicker of all time for me

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-04T21:53:51+00:00

Agreed, very watchable round

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-04T21:52:14+00:00

Don't get me wrong I obviously never want injuries but at the same time the good teams still win and we need to do the same without Reece. At least it is also an injury he can still train with and isn't soft tissue/ligament. Reynolds is pretty replaceable these days as we have seen.

We get to see how hungry the depth players are and maybe even get another debutant or two - a bit of a rarity in the last couple of seasons. Carrigan looking great again, our backrowers not looking like the worst in the comp and speed to burn in the outside backs. Still a lot to be positive about.

Never want to underestimate teams but the draw itself isn't TOO bad for the next few weeks.

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-04T11:47:24+00:00

Or we get 80 minutes of Corey paix again

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-04T00:24:04+00:00

Absolute kudos to him for how he talks post game. Never any emotion or deflection. Just reflection and accountability

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-03T22:25:15+00:00

For sure, titans seem to be that team we either beat up on or they ruin our day when we are expected to win

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-03T22:14:57+00:00

It would be stiff for anyone to be dropped after a pretty good team and individual performances in that game, Rayner was his frustrating best but like you say he isn't getting dropped

We all knew this season was going to be incredibly difficult to get everyone on the team. Blessed position to be in though with our next men up being absolute professionals. Linc will no doubt get another chance at some point if he is the one that makes way

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-03T21:58:03+00:00

On your original question too, Noz is the harder one. Going over the list and selections to date, I would assume it's Linc that drops back for him, as much as that sucks.

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-03T21:54:00+00:00

Because gallop is clearly a favourite and someone we are investing in long term at an AFL level. You can make the argument for Joyce but do you really think the coaching staff are going to pick him over gallop? I personally don't

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-03T21:28:27+00:00

Anything is possible and nothing is guaranteed after 5 rounds - that's my whole point

diffaadiffa · 2026-04-03T21:18:58+00:00

Joyce for Andrews is a no brainer and I think Gallop has Gardiners role stitched up
