Oppo Camp Non-Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2018

His kicking is very very "un Hawks" isn't it... And it's why I reckon he gets given space, the opposition wants him to kick the ball as he'll likely give it back or cause a 50/50

His go-to is the blind kick out of traffic. Should stick to handballing.

 

[Cataholic]

Having genuine leg speed to run clear of your opponent with the ball, or to run them down when they have it, is handy.

Tiges look to have a genuine advantage in that area.

 

[Cataholic]

So a handball straight to the boundary line isn’t deliberate?

Ok

 

[manboob]

Tigers have traditionally had it over the Hawks so not really sure what to make of this all...

 

[Cattery]

Who would we have put on him? Harry T, Henderson, Mackie or Lonergan...

Maybe that bloke who was playing everywhere but there, a bit in the ruck (seven hitouts) on Mitchell (forty disposals and two goals) and on Smith (twenty disposals and two goals)

Ok

Depends on the colour of the uniform...

 

[Scottland2007]

Last week and this week, the hawks seem to get away with a lot of “kicking in danger”. Is that not a rule anymore?

 

[manboob]

Not exaggerating but that would have to be the 6th or 7th Tigers goal from the goal square...

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Richmond looking very good.. I hardly know any of their players but they all seem to be able to produce consistent football and make good decisions. Very very well rounded team with good leg speed everywhere and accurate disposal.

Lets listen to Clarkson slam Puopolo for dropping the knees

 

[DangerHere]

Is it me or are there Dawks playing today with Mullets ?

 

[James1970]

They say you make your own luck, but the Tigers dream run of a draw this year continues, getting the Dawks, at home, off a 6-day break from the always hectic and very sore Easter Monday game.

Don't think I've seen a Premiership side get such an easy draw the following year - another home game next week against Brisbane, then a 10-day break before another home game against the Dees. Then it's the Pies, at home again, followed by Freo - you've guessed it, at home.

Might even king hit him in the changerooms.

Only after the Tigers boys slam him literally for it.

He already did in that attack on Selwood.

AFL want to maximize MCG crowds before the weather turns cold, unfair, but what’s fair with the AFL.

Guess where we play our home game against the Tigers this year?

 

[Cataholic]

Yeah, but Poppy does it without getting concussed (10 times) so he’s different

And Joel isn’t part of the well know slogan #freekickhawthorn

 

[frggr]

A Rance classic there.

 

[Cataholic]

A Rance classic there.

And look at the indignation on the ferals in the stands.

Bloody hypocrites

 

[Vdubs]

McEvoy Roughie again playing well. Not good enough though

 

[Vdubs]

Yeah, but Poppy does it without getting concussed (10 times) so he’s different

All I can say is listening to that interview, he stuck Poppy into the argument as much if not more than Selwood.
But the point of that duck/tackle causing head injuries and concussions IS incorrect.
The only way to make this go away is to beat Selwood to the ball and the contest.

And good luck with that!

“Port Adelaide is investigating an allegation one of its players was involved in an incident at an Adelaide bar on Sunday morning,” the statement said.

“The club has advised the AFL and will not be making further comment until it has all the information at hand.”

An SA Police spokeswoman said they had not received any report about the incident.

On 7-News they named the player as Sam Powell-Pepper.

You hope there's nothing in the allegations
