Very, very stupid AFL people, past or present

Example #1 - Max Gawn

I'd be a 'very, very stupid person to leave': Gawn rejects free agency

Max Gawn signs a four-year contract extension with the Demons.

No Max, you are a very, very stupid person to stay at that pea hearted, poorly coached, badly cultured club.

Who is your nomination of a very, very stupid AFL person, past or present?

Re: Very, very stupid AFL people, past or present

Steve Hocking.

Thinks he can change the game back to the 80s and 90s through rule changes (Sorry you lot must be sick of me on this) No rule change will ever make the game look like what you think it should look like. The game is continually evolving due to smarter coaching, use of technology, players are fitter stronger bigger and faster than ever.

Steve Hocking, ruining football, ruining the goose that laid the golden egg.

John Brown and Nick Riewoldt fawning over him last night, calling him a genius, based on a sample size of 1 high scoring pre-season game.... despite both acknowledging that the first half was very low pressure footy.....

Preseason games are notorious for lack of defence

Brayden Preuss.

Stuck behind Goldstein at North so he moves to... Melbourne. Behind Gawn.

Harsh - and the players that stuck with us in October 2014?
No captain, coach or CEO.

I still like a little bit of loyalty in football.

Guaranteed to get paid hundreds of thousands to schlump around the VFL for a few years. I would say that's big brain stuff.

Yeah Preuss is stupid like a fox.

My nomination is the Dees red pill JBP gang. Those guys are *actually* stupid not just footy stupid.

I know right! And yet these morons were salivating as if this was proof of a seismic shift in football.

Take into account match payments and you get more playing seniors. Far more if you are a best 22 player come contract time.

If he had more exposed form at AFL, I doubt he would have picked up another juicy contract. He's better off playing on the fringes and living the pro athlete lifestyle, making his 100-200k a year.

Re: Very, very stupid AFL people, past or present

Rory Laird has just signed a 5 year extension with the Crows. I guess by 2026 they might have come good. Is he stupid for re-signing rather than exploring his free agency options, or are the Crows stupid for signing an ok player like Laird to a 5 year deal (he will be 32, turning 33 in late 2026.

He's pretty good but 5 years for a bloke in his late 20s seems like too long for a player of his type. Probably shows how hard it is for the Crows to retain players, though.
