    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

    I still don't think Redman had a chance of getting the force downgraded given it was with both hands and clearly made contact, but that's some good work from GWS. very interested in this green case. I thought since Wright was sent straight to the tribunal, we should have tried to fight a...

    I don't think the salary cap floor is really a factor though. the biggest salary cap factor harming lower performing teams ability to sign good free agents is simply an under-supply of free agents, due to the rules around free agency, and that the afl salary cap does not make the good teams burn...

    how so? there's things about the salary cap that need to be fixed up for great equalisation but anything relating to the floor doesn't really factor in

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    he's throwing the edge gimmick under the bus by telling the truth about today's effort not being much different than last week's effort. poor commitment to the bit

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    that many people use these emotional buzz words, which now includes all things essendon edge related, to get around actually discussing football. If these words are only ever used as a critique when things are bad, it's probably not actually a worthwhile critique. essendon hasn't actually been...

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    here's how toughness, effort, competitiveness and all that stuff works. Did your team/player perform above or below expectations? if above? Wow! So hard at the contest. Very tough! [insert video of one player exemplifying these characteristics] if below? Disgrace! Very soft, no effort...

    Similar to Glenn Maxwell, who has James Brayshaw to blame for the Big Show nickname becoming well known which so clearly affected precipitations of Maxwell, I'm pretty uncomfortable with this Wizard nickname business. I don't know or really care to know the who, what, when, hows of the nickname...

    It was either a jokey reply or serious outrage at the disgraceful invoking of John McCarthy's death which, to the best of my knowledge, there has never been anything to suggest it was anything other than tragic misadventure after a night of drinking, which is obviously unrelated to illicit drug...

    wow afl players have been known to associate with dodgy people? this is shocking to learn but enough about the worrying trend of the afl playing group being dominated by private school boys

    Right now, I'm not sure why WADA should care about this...? WADA doesn't care about illicit drugs apart from game day tests. So players got additional drug tests to check that they wouldn't fail a game day test. That's...good, for everyone? That's just the WADA angle. Obviously there's War on...

    AFL Autopsy 5 goal loss to Swans

    i just thought the draper thing was him doing some silly revenge for the late hit that he got dealt, which itself was probably silly revenge stemming from the wright incident stupid, but not particularly noteworthy otherwise

    AFL Autopsy 5 goal loss to Swans

    I was at the game but I've noticed a few times already this season when Kayo is out of sync and I have to go out and go back in to get it back in sync. a truly wonderful service

    AFL Player #27: Mason Redman 🐕

    Well that's the problem and it's gonna cause an issue when a player gets charged with intentional conduct and it happened 15 meters away and it does get downgraded. They've left too much wriggle room, but Redman was well beyond that
