Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII
Too cold for them in Tasmania 😛 -
Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott
Well they didn’t finish 8th and playing in a Prelim final makes them in the top 4 so in the best few in the competition and they finished in the top 4. -
Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott
Hawks may not be a great clearance side but historically they have been a very strong GBG side in the midfield. -

Gresham is not that fast and his pressure is not always that good. -
Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVIII
What the Dogs are going through shows how easy it is to fall off the cliff when you get a few key injuries and lose confidence. Shows why last year was simply a mulligan for us. You just have no hope. -

Gives an exact indication of what we are doing. -
AFL Player 18: Lewis Hayes - Confirmed ACL 11/5/25, should return to play soon!
The issues that get highlighted are actually more positioning due to team defence break down. The roll over defence can be a bit all over the place at times. And him being well off his man is questioned but it is often more of a system break down. I agree if you had him concentrate on just one... -
AFL Player 14: Jordan Ridley - benched with calf awareness vs Gold Coast - 18/4
I suspect we talked him into staying due to Innes coming on board. A couple of Eagles supporters have mentioned it was year two when a lot of the always injured became more reliable. I think we should have gone fresh start but we didn’t. Now we wait and see. -

Coach Men's Coaches 2026 - Solomon becomes backline coach, McLean joins as development coach

Should have gone. He is a great player but sometimes player and club need a fresh start. -
Coach Men's Coaches 2026 - Solomon becomes backline coach, McLean joins as development coach
Not sure it matters that we have no coaches in waiting. Maybe we could use a refresh but you do not necessarily need to someone who is in line to be a senior coach. We do not have the most development coaches. We simply increased the numbers to be level with a few other clubs. A question... -
