No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club’s news - Part 10

The untested role for CJ is as a pressure forward. We never tried him there and I reckon he’s suited as the hunter not the hunted as when he get a finger laid on him in a tackle he’s cooked. Really wish him well he’s a ripping bloke and so much potential.

I love CJ and wish him all the best for the future always will but I did not see him lay one effective tackle unless he improved he's tackling rapidly you can't tell me from what you've seen he'd be an effective pressure forward.

Fair call Atch his tackling needs work. my view is that a role which is reliant predominantly on work rate speed and ground coverage fits in with his profile.

I'm Guna need some visual proof on this one haha.

Looks like CJ tackled and slung player to the ground when player had already disposed of the ball. So you are correct in your call that he needs to learn to tackle.

It just sounds unbelievable ay haha, 2022 he was in some fine form he has little patches of form where he plays so well, this year against Richmond he was great shame he couldn't emulate that again. I'm Guna miss him not really for on field but due to off field, great man to bring everyone together and bring the vibes. Comes from a strong family of faith that's why I wish him all the best in the future.

CJ is just an awesome person. Anyone who knows him describes him as such - genuinely infectious positivity.

It's strange that he's one of the few players that seemed to do better under Clarko than Mitchell. There were times when I thought he'd replace I Smith as an offensive outside weapon. I swear I remember teams putting some real work into shutting down his run and offensive efforts.

Then we added the requirement to defend and played him deeper and his composure suffered enormously. That effects everythign from decision making, to judging marks and knowing where an opponent is going to run or dodge to.

Wow that's interesting! Didn't know they put on all that added pressure on him!

I thought it was Mitchell who was the catalyst in his turnaround in form. He also did very well in Mitchell’s first year as coach, just plagued with injuries over the journey.

[I got the outside word]

Yeah, great, a wildcard round… Another thing no one ****ing asked for.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

We are now at a point where it is going to take a breath of wind for the afl empire to collapse. The fans are sick of the league pandering to the media rather than trying to make the fans happy

Good. Less meaningless games in the back half of the year. Bring in a draft lottery as well.

WTAF……..leave the game alone !

Does my head in

The same amount of meaningless games if not more actually, because you're essentially putting paid to anyone coming from the wild card round and winning the flag because they'll be so disadvantaged.

 

[Atch]

Your kidding me.

 

[extractasam]

So if a teams a game or 2 clear in 7th/8th with no real chance of moving ladder position going into round 23, do they just rest all players for wildcard round? Potential to create dead rubbers by trying to avoid dead rubbers.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

May as well make the entire 18 team league a wild card round. AFL clearly wants to move towards the play in tournament that the NBA now runs.

yep, this is next for sure.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Dillon needs to **** off. Just pandering to any suggestions that makes money.
And why is the 7th placed team turning up for an extra game to play against the 10th???!! What if they won two or three extra games by Rd 24?? If you want more footy then fine, just have 25 games in h& a season. Less off season breaks for players as well. They are paid to play footy but do shit **** all for 3 months or more of the year.

Yeah I'm sure any team who finishes outside the top 6 will just pack it in for
the season. Like they currently do with the top 4....

They have to play an additional game? It's not about packing it in. They're just disadvantaged, they make finals then what? Playing a better rested, and let's face it, simply better team. Looking forward to the 10 goal floggings that ensue.

There are countless examples over the past decade of the 'better' rested team losing to teams playing an extra game. That exact scenario happens every year with the top 4. Don't over dramatise it.
