Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

Careful guys, we're at high risk of getting this thread shut down.

What does everybody think of Brisbane's list? For such a high turnover rate in the past few years it's pretty good, other than maybe half a dozen dead wood players. Their defence of:

Gardiner - Clarke - Cutler
Crisp - McStay - Rich

Will be awesome. Just make sure Clarke doesn't kick the ball.

Been thinking that too. Handy also that McStay looks like he'll be able to pinch-hit up forward too when needed. Plus, when you think of the pace they've got, and the number of young key forwards they have (Close, Freeman and they'll probably pick up Hammellman this draft) their list looks far more promising than both Saints & the Demons at the moment. Difficult thing will be whether they manage to hold onto them.

Soothes the soul...

Soothes the soul...

Was sitting right behind that kick at the other end.

Still have a semi thinking about it.

 

[EnolaGay]

Saints have axed Jones and Gwilt.

 

[monty1104]

Saints have axed Jones and Gwilt.

Wow, really?

I'd take Gwilt as a DFA.

 

[daz17]

Saints have axed Jones and Gwilt.

They didn't waste time.
I expect half of Carlton to be delisted tomorrow.

 

[Zach Package]

Apparently they're both retiring.

Hayes is a retirement, as is Maister, Milera has basically quit and they've already nudged Jones and Gwilt into retirement, and i expect they'll follow suit with Schneider. TDL and Dunell are average and should make way as well.

They could potentially upgrade their entire rookie list barring their 2 internationals

Wow, really?

I'd take Gwilt as a DFA.

The bloke is possibly the worst kick in the competition playing regularly at AFL level.

Il take Garlett if he's de-listed or up for trade.

His retiring mate would take that prize by the length of the Flemington straight, and then some.

 

[yaco55]

warne should stick to complaining about ross lyon.

But Molly Meldrum's opinion is more highly sought.

 

[yaco55]

Last 90 seconds of Bulldogs and GWS was wild. Gia's disposal was all over the shop in his last game. GWS managed to win a game solely off clearance goals and fast break goals.

Jack Martin of GCS - I suspect he is more talented than Bontempelli.

 

[rines]

I would take Garlett.. he might just be exactly what we need.. and I would have thought that it wouldn't cost too much either.

Hasn't got a defensive bone in his body.. but can kick goals..

Don't forget Paparone either. They may not hold onto them but they're good bargaining tools in trades. Trade in a few mids (Beams is apparently a target) and it's looking very good

 

[GUMBLETRON]

The midfield is pretty tidy already, they just need mature key forwards, be it from within or without.

 

[Andronicus]

Jack Martin of GCS - I suspect he is more talented than Bontempelli.

Lucky enough to see him a fair bit as a junior.

He has that real game changing quality that he carried through to seniors even when he was still a junior.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

after a pretty average weekend, I got a little kick out of the tiger supporters whinging about the price of airline tickets on SEN today

 

[daz17]

Port getting rammed by the AFL.
Making them wear their clash strip at their own home game.

 

[eth-dog]

I would wear the home strip anyway. * the AFL

 

[Drummer_19]

Oh well, last I checked Kochi backed AFL house to make all the correct decisions in the interest of the game last year, so I'd assume he feels the same way now.

 

[Pweter]

Will be interesting to see if he bites the hand that feeds for a change or pull out the "anyone, anywhere, any time, any guernsy" type line

Absolutely outrageous.

Weren't we all forced to come up with clash strips?

It's very strange that Richmond obtained approval for a clash strip, which is basically a pisstake it is so similar to the original, that clashes with a jumper that is predominately black and, on the odd rationale applied at the time, probably the second or third most prominent clash for the Tigers.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Absolute disgrace.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Yeah that's pathetic. Weak as piss from the AFL.
