Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[HirdyLannister]

north

They're not a real football team.

 

[mcgrath_truther]

Never ceases to amaze how Opp boards fit us into the narrative.

my favourite is the norf board thread dedicated to essendon.

like cmon you should be worrying about your own clubs failings

 

[fairbump_playon]

Dogs will get spanked by Freo in Perth next week.

Yeah particularly after West Coast beat Freo this weekend!

 

[Vindicater]

That was one of the worst performances I have seen in a long time.

I reckon we were better against Port.

And yet they want cop any heat for it

 

[ant555]

Phillipou has been very average this year

Yep . Has not even reached the level he was last year yet .
Few others in the same boat as well.

 

[boncer34]

What did we do?! Cretins

Never ceases to amaze how Opp boards fit us into the narrative.

Rent free

It was from last week's game when we were playing.

 

[ant555]

And yet they want cop any heat for it

Their coach did not give the media something to attack them with . No edge . No worries

Damo reckons they will in his faux sliding doors. I wait with baited breath.

I’d say more the media go soft on Ross Lyon. He has a lot of friends that drink his bathwater

 

[mcgrath_truther]

i feel like compared to last year the aint's are just toothless, very little inside 50 pressure, especially with max king

constantly in and out of the team through injury and suspension, their defence is also struggling.

Yep combination of buttering up hot take merchants like caro during his time on footy classifieds plus a number of his psycophant ex players being in media now (at least riewoldt isnt on 7 now).

in the guts did a huge amount for their physicality in the wake of whatever happened to libba (ps have they said anything specifically yet about what happened, or is it still not concussion concussion)

 

[ant555]

There midfield is a bit plain .

 

[owen87]

There midfield is a bit plain .

Steele is solid but their next most CBA's were;

24 Windhager (20 year old)
13 Garcia (18 year old)
10 Ross
7 Sinclair
4 Stocker
3 Z Jones
2 Owens (20 year old)

They're pretty bereft of good genuine onballers in their prime. Sinclair adds a bit of pace, Ross is what he is, and Jones is not great.

Windhager and Owens both have 'something' but need time. They're heavily reliant on their outside guys in Hill, Bonner and Henry at the moment.

 

[mcgrath_truther]

i will say garcia (for st kilda) did have a few "good" (within the context of the game) moments last night, i reckon he's one to keep the eyes on

 

[joey_jo_jo]

I think Lyon has built this myth that he can turn any list into a contender through his defensive strategy and aerobic fitness requirements. He forgets he had some genuine A-Graders in his first run at the saints and even at freo he had a higher number of A graders than now.
Wanganeen-Milera and King are the only guys on that list who have potential to be A-Grade but king really needs to pull his finger out. Marshall and Steele are great players but I would say they are more solid and consistent rather than genuine stars.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Actually I should add Mitch Owens to potential A-Grader but he's still got a few seasons to get there.

Freo:

Mundy
Fyfe
Pavlich
Sandilands
Walters
A young Neale
Barlow

St Kilda:

Hayes
Goddard
Reiwoldt
Dal Santo
Montagna
Milne
Baker

He had some pretty decent top-line talent at his disposal at both sides.

 

[dank420_]

Lyon and Clarkson are two missiles that I am very happy that we dodged.

 

[kleanr]

Who cares. Score of 70 will win it.

WOW, do you have a time machine?
any more hot tips to clean up on SportsBet?

don't follow nathan brown's betting advice is a good start

It's not advice, it's advertising. The whole idea is that you throw away your money.

The gambling people really should be more creative with their sponsorships eg sponsor Norf "Chances are you are about to lose". Or Eagles "You win some, you lose more". And Ess, oh nevermind.
