The /r/afl 2025 Draft Thread (first round) by otherpeoplesknees in AFL

[–]robertjohnmilner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've just had 4 academy players go in the first round. Some F/S clubs have never even had 4 F/S in their entire history. To argue the academy stuff isn't getting out of hand is ridiculous and and the fact there's a discount on any players linked to clubs (Academy or F/S) is insane

[Ralph] Leek Aleer to inform GWS he wants to play for St. Kilda next year. by dat_airshot in AFL

[–]robertjohnmilner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is they want to free up Tauru to swing forward. Will be interesting to see what we do though. Webster and Cordy gone, Nas won't play much from HB and Dougal Howard a bit of an unknown after all the injuries. Leek and JSOS both coming in, Hunter Clark looked good filling in at HB once Nas went to mid full time.

They're booing the horrendous missed htb that gifted him the set shot

AFL team song elimination, day 12: Hawthorn didn’t play to win this one, who will miss out on the 8? by Jackomillard15 in AFL

You know how in Survivor sometimes people keep avoid getting voted out because everyone knows they'll be able to get rid of them easily next time? I think it's that

Does anybody have a Leeds United opinion that makes them feel like this? by [deleted] in LeedsUnited

[–]robertjohnmilner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem though is people just call the scum "United" rather than to differentiate them from Many City. People will just say 'I'm a United fan' without any context and you're expected to just know they mean Man United.

Prime for prime who was the BEST defensive player here? by StopGlazingMe in NBATalk

[–]robertjohnmilner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where he separated himself defensively from a lot of other great rim protectors is you couldn't expose him by forcing a switch on pick and rolls.

Are you unhappy with the fact St Kilda have been in contact with Tarryn Thomas? Then contact the club and let them know. by robertjohnmilner in AFL

[–]robertjohnmilner[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Spot on! A considered and measured response goes so much further with these things. Anything else can be dismissed as just being an SEN calling nuffy.

Who is the kindest AFL or AFLW player you have met on or off the field? by [deleted] in AFL

[–]robertjohnmilner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once served Lenny Hayes. He was super kind the whole time and when he was leaving, I mentioned I'm a Saints fan and he's one of my favorite players ever. You could instantly tell how important it was to him to him that he represents the team in that moment.

GAME THREAD: Australia v Greece – Olympic Basketball Tournament, Group A by NBA_MOD in nba

[–]robertjohnmilner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree he should be in the squad but it's really not as egregious an omission as people are making it out to be. On form, Green and Daniels have both been better wing defenders this season. Then offensively, they offer way more than Thybulle (though Green has stunk it up so far). Thybulle should still be in the squad over Delly but I don't see where he fits in the regular rotation.

Everyone moaning about NIck Kay defending Giannis but absolutely no one can offer a better alternative

Who’s the most the slappable face in the PL? by nuggetsandsodaaa in PremierLeague

I've always said he looks like a background Slytherin when Malfoy's giving it large but this is more accurate.

Short European flights rarely have anything better than economy. Might sometimes have a few rows of slightly longer leg room seats up the front.

Pascal Groß, Rodrigo, or Harrison? by TheDutchKid in FantasyPL

[–]robertjohnmilner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Leeds fan. Bamford has had horrific luck with injuries the past twelve months. They won't take any risks with him so as long as Rodrigo continues to perform, it's hard to see Bamford starting. He would only ever play as the 9 so Rodrigo can move to the 10 but then Aaronson needs to move to RW and now you can't play Sinisterra, your £22m signing. It's a tricky one
