Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025 Part 2

[Jeremy McLovin]

Gets paid in season most of the time.

By the wording of the rule though, not a free kick. The only issue here is the discrepancy. Gotta clean that shit up.

Well, the thing is, when it happens in season, against a team not named Collingwood, the commentators celebrate how amazing the effort was.

I have no idea why the Pies played Mihocek over McStay. I get that nobody wants to lose their spot for such a big game but if the player isn’t going to put his hand up and say he’s well below 100% then it’s up to the coaches/selectors to make the call.

Both him and Jeremy Howe looked like injured old men which is not great when you’re playing a side as good as Brisbane.

From mid way through Q3 Collingwood as a whole looked old and done.

If they don't do a major youthathication over the trade/draft period I can see them falling off a major cliff.

Collingwood have become a self entitled team. They thrive on the media attention, the love fest for Daicos (good player but its over the top) and they arr obssessed with membership numbers.

The "we are the biggest club" "the best club" "have the most members" like seriously who cares. What's also funny is that Collingwood envied Richmond during Richmond's dynasty period. They dont want any other Vic team to be good at anything.

As I said - they are self entitled.

Howie on the call oh good god no.

“Straight to the neck of the throat” great call Riewoldt.

All the stars are here.

OMFG is that Howie AGAIN on Kayo....

Lovely bloke but Howie straight up sucks. The sooner Fox realizes this, the better.

I don't mind Howie as a cricket commentator, as his personality gets a bit more time to breathe. Footy is not his strong suit.

Seems a nice fella though.

Mark Howard is a ****ing campaigner.

 

[ioppolo]

Just had a look at the non free kick.

All that aside, why didn't the dude before him (Membrey?) just take the ****ing set shot. Less than 40 out with barely an angle for a key forward? Man up and go back.

That’s spoil of the century!

I was thinking front on chop but that’s some kind of dark magic to not give away a free

Genuinely can't believe there are people in here trying to say this bloke isn't a good player

If Ginbey made a spoil like that this board would cease to exist

 

[Quinz]

Its a free kick every time though to be fair. Great effort to get there but even if he gets all ball his body runs into Elliot and topples him backwards. You can't do that going back with the ball.

You can, if your sole intent is to mark or spoil. Just a shame that it often isn't adjudicated like that.

 

[Goroyals22]

It makes it all the more sweeter that his Dad was a Collingwood player.

His uncle was a Collingwood player….. and his other uncle was a wafl umpire so what a quinella that is

And his great grandfathers brother Tom won a V.C. IN World War 2

The Starcevich Spoil was no Tunbridge Tackle though.

Bitter are we?

Suppose least pies fans stick around when there doing shit, unlike your mobs bandwagoners.

Seems a legit chance we don’t get pick 2 given how good Gallop and Morris are.

Imagine the salt on here if he ends up back in the side. Surely he goes into defence if so.

I doubt it if I'm honest. The Qualifying final against Geelong showed they desperately need an experienced quality forward.

Gallop and Morris are still babies - they could use the experience and "leadership" of an Allen. Being right in the window I'm not taking the risk on youth carrying a forward line if I don't need too.

I also very doubt Brisbane are going to renege on an offer after one final if they've been courting him for over a year.

 

[new breed]

Not sure Oscar will get a game at the Lions , they have found a few young KPF s .....

Excellent, how wonderful!

Meanwhile what was with that non-free kick for the glaringly obvious high tackle - the bloke was tackled to the ground with an aggressive head lock/ around his neck, play on?
Did I miss something?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Brings it up just to say we dont make excuses

 

[RookiePick]

I don't actually mind that Ashcroft didn't get the high free. It was a very obvious "shrug/arm lift" trying to break the tackle that forced the arm high.

Should be play on and considered prior IMO.

The lingering headlock...maybe should have been penalised but meh.

 

[Jootube]

Honestly, if the Lions don't offer a big contract for OAllen, the Pies will be next in line.
They need OAllen pretty desperately after the clown show of Membrey, Mihocek and Cox last night.

Band 1 compo coming regardless

Oscar the traitor spud deserves an even worse form slump than the last 4 years. Never play a game for Brisbane, desisted.

Turncoat maggot.

I dunno how reputable this outlet is but this is hilarious:

What salt?

He stays and signs a 3 year offer which the Club offered him instead of chasing dollars and 5/6 year deal at the lions
