Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XIV

Apparently they're thinking about cutting half time to 10 minutes..

Not really sure why, cutting a 3 hour game by 10 minutes isn't going to make that much difference. And it means any concussion testing that starts at the end of Q2 will still sideline the player in Q3 even if they're okay.

I personally think this is one of those sideshow news stories where they take everyone's attention away from another story.

Question is, what kind of story would they need to distract from, that's so bad that they would distract from their own draft coverage...?

that there's a climate crisis and nothing's being done about it

 

[TheGrizz]

Unconfirmed reports that Alex Rance will retire today.

Would have massive repurcussions if true

 

[DapperJong]

Doesn’t look unconfirmed anymore

 

[jmoo wan]

Rance loves the drugs

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Rance loves the drugs

Was thinking that he tried hard to comeback early...and maybe took something he shouldn’t have. Very strange to announce this now.

Good career. The German judge gives it a 9.5.

 

[Zach Package]

If it was anyone else you’d be calling funny buggers, but not with Rance, he’s always been a weirdo.

Will not hear about him as the equal of SOS or Scarlett or Fletcher anymore. He’s just precluded himself from the argument.

Or Leppitsch

Apparently to spend more time with his family and his religion. Timing isn’t great though, they’ll get an SSP instead of having picked in the national draft. Wonder why he decided to retire now... maybe the injury recovery wasn’t going well.

According to some people known for quoting their own Twitter account as a source it's because he was about to be busted for peds.

his timing was quite extraordinary!

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Jacob Townsend would be pissed off on the timing.

Only way to spin it is, that we now have a required Richmond player on our list


DoDodoDOodoOROoroODdoORO has done it again!

 

[Old Campaigner]

That’d be pretty funny

 

[Old Campaigner]

I guess he’ll be ramming stupid pamphlets down peoples throats now

 

[Old Campaigner]

These full screen ads are really giving me the shits

They seem to have vanished now we’re out of the trade/draft period... funny that.

 

[DERO]

Why?

They'd have kept an average fwd/mid on the list because their FB retired?

Means I have less time to get to the shops and back with stuff for tea when we're in that s**t-arse twilight slot. Thanks AFL for making the logistical situation worse than it already is.
