Sliding Drawers – Round 7

If a bloke like Damo can do it, Jimmy Ayres should be able to knock it out of the park

 

 

Adelaide

 

If…..

 

Tony Modra was 30 years younger…

 

Then….

 

This Adelaide forward line would hit Warwick Capper levels of excitement, both on AND off the field.

 

 

Brisbane

 

If…..

 

The Lions were still playing out of Fitzroy…

 

Then….

 

They would be a Victorian team.

 

 

Carlton

 

If…..

 

Harry McKay had confidence in his goal kicking…

 

Then….

 

He would have kicked more goals.

 

 

Collingwood

 

If…..

 

Peter Daicos played soccer…

 

Then….

 

We would have no-one to compare to Chris Judd right now.

 

 

Essendon

 

If…..

 

Zach Merrett played on Anzac Day…

 

Then….

 

The Bombers would still lose. The precise pattern of win one, lose three on Anzac Day dates back to 2005, afterall.

 

 

Fremantle

 

If…..

 

Fremantle didn’t trade five important senior players last season…

 

Then….

 

They may be playing better footy this year.

 

 

Geelong

 

If…..

 

Joel Selwood didn’t retire last year…

 

Then….

 

He probably would have retired this year.

 

 

Gold Coast

 

If…..

 

The Suns were called ‘The Moons’…

 

Then….

 

I don’t even know where I was going with this sliding drawer.

 

 

GWS

 

If…..

 

2019 went a different way and the Giants had beaten Richmond in the Grand Final…

 

Then….

 

They would be the even Greater Western Sydney Giants.

 

 

Hawthorn

 

If…..

 

Sam Mitchell hadn’t usurped Alastair Clarkson…

 

Then….

 

Hawthorn would probably still be in the bottom four.

 

 

Melbourne

 

If…..

 

Sam Weideman didn’t get traded to the Bombers…

 

Then….

 

He would still be behind Tom McDonald and Ben Brown in the pecking order.

 

 

North Melbourne

 

If….

 

Clarko chose the Bombers or found his way to Gold Coast…

 

Then….

 

North Melbourne would have a different coach this season.

 

 

Port Adelaide

 

If…..

 

Ken Hinkley isn’t re-signed as coach…

 

Then….

 

Port will be shopping around for a new coach.

 

 

Richmond

 

If….

 

The Hardwick Hoodoo© continues to plague Richmond every time they play at Marvel Stadium…

 

Then….

 

The supporters will hate going there even more than Hardwick himself.

 

 

St Kilda

 

If…..

 

Had more than one flag…

 

Then….

 

It would be much safer to swim at their beaches.

 

 

Sydney

 

If…..

 

The Swans weren’t missing half of their back line…

 

Then….

 

They would probably have won a few more games.

 

 

West Coast

 

If…..

 

This side didn’t have so many injuries…

 

Then….

 

Their losses wouldn’t be as substantial.

 

 

Western Bulldogs

 

If…..

 

Tony Liberatore played for the Bulldogs today…

 

Then….

 

He would get suspended a lot.

 

 

And this one’s for the AFL

 

If….

 

Your organisation was known as Australian League of Football…

 

Then….

 

You would be known as the ALF.

 

Told ya… it’s easy.
