Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

Any reason?

Good player, Good bloke off the field. Hasn't done anything particularly bad on the field has he? Except for carve up opposition teams.

A couple of years ago he tried to polax Melksham when the ball was 40 metres away then dived like a fairy princess when he got a tiny bit of contact. Then proceeded to chase after Melksham after a couple of minutes. ******** of the highest order.

Roughy hasn't done one bad thing to Essendon players or fans.

Me thinks Eth is playing up on his anti-Hawk persona.

Lol c'mon man.

Nope. Have respect for a few Hawthorn players, but Roughead is a *******.

 

[Doss]

Oh boy.

He isn't that bad.

 

[eth-dog]

Oh boy.

He isn't that bad.

He is, in my opinion. I call a spade a spade.

remember this quite well. he was being a dick wad at the time and diving like a little princess of the highest order. but he isnt a bad bloke away from field

Do you hate Essendon players who do the same with the same disdain?

Oh come on. Since when have I done anything logically?

 

[Doss]

It's a fair question.

Hey far be it from me to tell you who you have to like. Just found it odd that someone hates Roughy so much.

He's one of the rare good ones, plus he has never really torn us up (as Buddy was doing it all by himself)

 

[yaco55]

We should understand that Eth has a pathological hatred of Hawthorn.

Hi all hope I am not intruding. Just want to settle a discussion from the polls board. It was mentioned that James Hird during his career was trialled as a HBflanker. I don't remember it but could any of you give me any details of when it occurred, how long it lasted and how did Hird play as a HB?

Thanks in anticipation.

Garry Ablett Snr says hello

Garry Ablett Snr says hello

The 1993 match where he went berserk ?

 

[Pweter]

I'd more say he was trialed as a full back on G Ablett Snr for about 20 minutes, as were many players that day in 1993.

Yep. This guy is claiming it was a much bigger trial on a HBF than 20min on Ablett. I can't remember that so just checking here as you guys would know.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I certainly don't remember any lengthy HBF trial. There were days he floated wherever he wanted.

 

[Beerfish]

That's what I was thinking. From my hazy recollections he played wherever he was needed pretty much.

 

[vast]

Hird spent time in the backline on a few occassions but as mentioned he put himself there when momentum was with the oppostion or during critical stages of tight matches. He was ******* good at it too.

My recollections aren't so hazy, but still don't remember any HBF trial.

 

[Runk]

Sheedy put Hird up back to get a bit of fire about him - pretty boys playing at HF all day or Forward pocket tend to get prissy pretty bloody quick so Sheeds would use him back on occasion, but no that often. s**t one day he played Greg Anderson on Jason Dunstall ffs. Doesn't make Ando a Full Back.

Yeah, much like when Carey moved himself around, Hird had a similar licence. If it was a tight game Hird would often go back as a loose man in defence before it became "the done thing". From memory Kouta did it a fair bit too. All around the late 90's
