Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[The Bomb]

Very good player but a bit overrated, his numbers are very similar to Stantons who is regarded as a spud by most supporters. Would be interesting to see how they would be rated if Bartel played for us the whole time and Stanton played for the Cats.

not even close, Bartel wins 1 on 1s, never does really dumb things like Stanton has done over the years, never goes to ground and allows his opponent a easy possession, I have never seen Bartel run down from behind for holding the ball.
those clutch goals, big moments in games Stanton has never done.

In my eyes there is a pretty big gap.

This isn't being harsh on Stanton just showing the class of Bartel, much like how I rate Mercuri.
Mercuri was Essendons version of Bartel in my eyes.

I still prefer Bartel but I wouldn't say its a huge gap. Stanton was also tagged which Bartel didn't get as often. Ive seen Bartel make skill errors aswell its not like he is miles ahead of Stanton in use of the footy.

Bartel comes up in big games because Geelong played in more big games. Stanton has had his fair share of games he has a had a huge part in winning don't forget.

Wouldn't be too many Brownlow winners that haven't won a club champion.

Cooney.

 

[Resistor]

he just did it again when following a tackle, he screamed something to the affect of "HE'S POPPED IT AGAIN" in relation to Impey's shoulder. Literally seconds later it was something like "he's ok"

Hahah lost it when he did that. Funniest thing is when they show the past achievements of each player, Brown 500 goals + premierships, Lynch goals and premierships, Barry Hall goals + premiership, Dwayne Russell 50 games. hahahaha lels

Great to see Mike & Wallsy back on the couch.

I missed it will watch the replay later.

Boomer Harvey. What a total dickhead. Sweet way to write a book twelve people will read and then launch into a tirade on a bloke about stuff that wasn't even true. Backs away from said comments and apologises. Who the * is in charge of media down there at Arden St? What a pack of numpties. Coach spews horseshit based on hearsay. Two players on the list caught sending dick picks to people. What a deadset rabble.

 

[Beerfish]

You don't say..

 

[Runk]

You don't say..

In other news water is wet and Robbo's a drunk.

Exactly, why put it in print if your not going to stand by what you say the minute someone challenges you. That is amateur hour from both Harvey and the ghostwriter/editor. They must have thought those 12 people would not tell Carey what was in the book. Harvey's entire demeanour just screams "me, me, me'.

this is tiring to watch - but he makes some salient points amongst the bluster and squints

"Accuracy is not a god given talent, it's something that you take 2 - 300 shots every training night, every day of the week to improve every area of your goal kicking"

Sounds like the perfect candidate for our goal kicking coach.

i also enjoyed "you have these frauds, kicking boomerang kicks from the goal square because they cant kick on their wrong side"

Haha, punks and false alarmer's.

Not bad viewing so far but christ he's one cranky dude.

 

[Howard Moon]

Reckon he rattles Mike several times

 

[Howard Moon]

How many games did you play Mike?

You are just a sycophant with a poisoned pen, a toilet trained media rat

 

[Doss]

It was probably staged or at least hammed up anyway.

 

[Howard Moon]

For Mike to say at the end, you glad you just beat the s**t out of me for 30 mins? Meant there was something there.

I know hes just a showman and caricature but I reckon there was an element of dislike and retribution involved

 

[Mercurial89]

Apparantly Robbo was pretty upset at Fox for actually putting Mike in that scenario.

It doesnt appear to have been staged

Well he bumped fists at the end and Said bygones are now bygones, maybe just needed the catharsis

 

[Doss]

They didn't call him Wacko Jacko for nothing.

 

[Howard Moon]

He was so calm and calculated when he said -

Jacko "i had a young guy who was playing in my position suffer a terrible training injury"
Mike "you hit him"
Jacko " yeh i did, i was always taught to train as you play, he was in my spot, i wanted it"

thats perverse killer type stuff from foxtels what makes a criminal mind doco

If they want to call it 'Open' Mike, then...

Only for Joe Daniher.

 

[Pweter]

The thing that gets lost in the whole Jacko story is how unbelievably talented he was however the fact clubs couldn't handle him, and the fact he couldn't handle being dropped for disciplinary reasons speaks volumes about the man. He wasn't a team man.

I did like the fact he called out journalists for what they write and the impact it has on players and their families/friends. He might not have used the right words but it's refreshing to hear someone say it in the media to the media.
