Oppo Camp General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 5

Hi guys,
I generally don’t post here.
But I have an idea that you may like..


Footy’s New Idea

When a Backmen sets for a big kick into the forward line an Intercept mark happen often happens.

My idea is a top-spinner. No one expects it. Everyone thinks it will go long.

Set up the Hawks forwards to know when an unexpected kick into the forward-line will happen
Have the kicker indicate oven spin on the ball and then have the forwards rush to the front as the kicker delivers.
Most times there will be an uncontested mark. If not it will be a chaos ball

This idea is simple and will work

We used to, the Jordan Lewis chaos ball.

So there's a thread on the Scandals board suggesting the Swans may be investigated for strange behavior by Rampe & others near the end of games with the implication they're tanking.

My first thought when reading it was "gee how totally unlike the Sydney Swans to manipulate rules to their advantage!".

Link?

I would not say this sort of thing about others. The Hawks could be accused of doing this, given the performance over last two weeks.

Not woth clarko's reactions in the box

Based on our games, North are a red hot chance against Geelong next week

I laughed - think it’s more a case of their supporters just not being able to get their heads around not playing finals.

Bit like their chairman suggesting cola should be bought back. One year of finals they miss and he thinks that justifies the return of handouts.

Yep, they have nothing to lose and will play with freedom knowing they have clear air leading into next year. Geelong have to win to remain on top and potentially not drop to 3rd. Becomes a game with huge ramifications at the Cattery.

What the bet the Dogs beat the lions at the Gabba and we couldn’t beat them in Tassie our fortress

 

[Off The Couch]

It always makes me laugh when I hear commentary say “rare fumble” when it’s from our “superstars”

Take a look at their disposal efficiency and you will see it’s not as rare as you think

That maybe because the dogs development is well ahead of ours but don’t let that ruin your pity party

I call it the Chris Judd effect. Every week, another 12 or so "rare errors" from the "great man" and they'd carry on as if it was as rare as a total eclipse of the sun. Yep, it annoys me as well.

Is Carltanks development ahead of ours too. ?

It’s like the whole Continent knows the guy is a butcher, except for the 3-4 people being paid to tell you what is happening - week in/out, they seem to have no fu****g clue but just keep on saying stupid s*** anyway...

 

[Brant]

Well they’ve kind been rebuilding since about 2001, so you’d hope so.

Anyway, Carltank can only rebuild as quickly as GWS de-list players so it isn’t all their fault...

Hahahaha

What’s the point you are trying to make

 

[SA HAWK]

Their future looks much brighter than ours imo.

Won't surprise me in the least if Conoglio goes there.

 

[macdaddio]

8 weeks ago they couldn’t win a game, and with a change of coach now they’re list is more developed than ours.
Funny that our list got us to top 4 last year yet the dogs and Carltank list is more developed than ours.

I've always considered it's a case of people in the media not wanting to say anything that is contrary to the consensus of opinion. They hear others gushing over a player and haven't got the courage to say, "Hang on a minute, I don't think he's as good as what we portray". You have to remember that commentators are paid handsomely to tell everyone how great the game is. Malcolm Blight was possibly the last person in the media who gave honest opinions and look what happened to him. Sam Newman is also one who gives an honest opinion, and we all know how people cannot handle the truth.

Jack Martin has been a disappointment IMO. Came in as “the most talented under 18’s player ever” and just hasn’t put it together. Starting to get a bit of the Jarrod Waite’s about him, he’ll be 25 in January...

Campbell Brown said he was the best talent he'd seen when he walked in. The definition of stagnating.

I think today will seal the deal for Carlton and Coniglio

Would be hard to get up and about when playing for Gold Coast
