Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion thread - 2017 edition - Part 2

[Keys]

So RugbyWA goes in administration on the back of the Force being removed and the subsequent legal battle. Rugby Australia has well and truly ****** over the game in WA for a long time if not almost permanently.

Sports administrators would be among the stupidest people on the planet. Beggars belief that some of these clowns not just get paid to * up the sport they administer but are paid very well

R.I.P Gary the goat. A true Aussie Icon past away today

Lol not sure if any of you watch those total recall segments on the afl website? Twomey would draft Hurley instead of nic nat, beams before sloan and sidebottom before hanebery. Can't say I trust his judgements of talent anymore

Yeah I thought the same thing. What a tool

He seems to rate outside types who rack up heaps of kicks. Someone else on here has said something similar in the past, I think

People have ridiculously short memories- Nic Nat not playing this year would be put him further down callums list. Out of sight out of mind, sort of deal.

He's also a bombers fan, so natural bias is in there as well.

Hannebery is a good footballer, but has gone missing in big games- I would probably take Sidebottom before Hannebery personally. The Beams/Sloane would be also lot closer if Beams wasn't so injured all the time. He's a very very good footballer when fully fit. Sloane is ahead, though.

Personally i find beams best is better than Sloanes. His early days were better than sloanes but due to injury and sloane's step up over the last two years, i can understand why some people view sloane as a better player.

I distinctly remember Beams tearing us a new one when he was at Collingwood

He gave Shuey the ol' "hearing footsteps" hand gesture during a final (?) or maybe just an important game. Never liked the prick since then

Beams I mean

Isn't that the point of the redraft? It's like a benefit of hindsight thing. Dan Menzel was a freak but who would draft him again? It's taking all those things into consideration for your club. I'd say they are equal as footballers but Sloan is still on the incline and beamscwas never able to peak for obvious reasons

Yeh, I like to think Nathan Lyon's nickname 'Gary' is after the GOAT.
Popular perception seems to be after Garry Lyon

To be fair if Beams didn't have injuries I'd take him over Sloane. But agree your point

Nice large crowd in for the IRS.

Nice large crowd in for the IRS.

Especially considering what they're charging! $70 for wing seats and $30 behind the goals

 

[FKASC]

Find it very hard to support Wingard even in this format

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Selwood, frustrated he couldn’t hit a target from 2m away, takes it out on an Irish player. Thug.

 

[new breed]

Selwood starts a fight fancy that ....gotta love it but , actually a mellee also this could be the last International game ever ....

 

[Biggie]

Nice brawl at the end of the half there

Most exciting thing about this game tbh

 

[DanWCE]

Few choice words from our man Shuey and the Irish tears were flowing eh?

 

[Avalor]

This team sucks.

I guess we are getting our ass handed to us then.

 

[FKASC]

Zorko!

 

[DanWCE]

Ross finally wins some silverware

 

[Biggie]

I guess we are getting our ass handed to us then.

Came back strong and won the game and series

Betts is such a legend

Just watched the replay of the mele.

Disgraceful effort from most of the Aussie boys, basically Shuey, Boak and maybe Betts taking on the entire Irish team. Particularly bad efforts from Wingard and Fyfe standing on the edge, not even making an attempt to help their teammates

 

[avishka5]

Fyfe and Dangerfield touched my left hand. Blatantly not washing my hands

Betts is such a legend

Eddie is on the local radio every week during footy season.
Guy is very humble. Couldn't even read when he started at Carlton. Footy has been massive for him and now his family. Speaks brilliantly, none of that splurging BS from him.
He is a GOD in Adelaide. I'd have a beer with him.
