Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025 Part 2

[Cuzz09]

I expect Port to be 5-0

Cushy opening 2 months

 

[ioppolo]

Soldo's done his ACL. Out for the year

Was he traded in or a FA signing?

This'll make it 9 games in three seasons at Port, and he'll be 30 next year. Rough change of scenery. Plus a nagging missis to boot.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I really can't see how Freo can fit Chad Warner on their list in a couple years.

We will be on the ones that can pay him a salary that may entice him to move.

Freo don't "need" him like we do, so don't think they are too worried.

 

[Bender_]

Great signing for Freo - lock down close to a decade of racking up 30 touches a game with zero hurt factor.

Come @ me purple lurking losers

Trying to get in under the SSP deadline

Yep, there's always a reason when the AFL does something "SPECIAL" for the Vic teams, vAFL strikes again!

I’m a fully paid up member of the VicBias bandwagon but the SSP extension isn’t an example - it’s actually one of those rare instances when they’ve made a good decision

By extending the deadline to March 2 it allows clubs to replace a player in the unfortunate event they suffer a season ending injury in a preseason game. Completely common sense move that should have been in place before now

Also, the original cutoff date was February 20 so the Bulldogs would’ve have been able to replace him under the old date.

30 touches when hes not tagged, goes to water when he gets any attention

 

[Forward Press]

Yeah, the rule change made sense and in fact brings it more in line with a lot of top professional sporting leagues in the world - many of them even allow list changes well after the season has begun (eg soccer, basketball).

I think the AFL having lists finalised months before a season starts is relatively unusual for a professional league.

Simple equations at Freo - Win goal of the year. Get paid for eternity.

Serong is a fine player. Just needs to be the third or fourth fiddle, when the whips are cracking in September and not expected to be the main man.

Realistically that's Hayden Young should be the 'main' guy. Injuries have really held him back.

And I agree with your opinion that the policy is a good one.

Its just again the vAFL making changes when someone in VIC makes a case but we can't even get equalisation in fixtures.
Its a criticism of the decision makers not the decision.

Whole another discussion about how this inequality gets levelled at some sort of fairness!!

Until the decision makers in the AFL have an equal representation of people from all states on the 10 member Board and decision makers its going to stay this way.

Should be at least 2 board members from each of all Non Vic states as it currently stands 8, and the remainder from Vic to make appropriate decisions.

Sounds like they are also wanting Jackson as a mid.

Will be interesting to see that happen in the Origin game this week.

 

[Smeg Head]

Pies are still a year or two from falling off, but they are timing it poorly with Tassie entering the comp. Not a lot of good young talent coming through there either.

The Daicos' leaving and generating bulk picks is a blessing in disguise for them IMO

They are a club that will always be able to interest free agents and the like over to them, so if they find themselves down with salary cap to spare, probably wont end up ****ed for that long.

 

[Rowan18]

Oh ok, never noticed

Fair enough. It's really just background music unless a high goal scorer has a memorable song. Waterman's is pretty good, you'd remember it if you watch him kick a bag live. Don't ask me the name of the song though (I just know the tune).

It's Chelsea Dagger.

Harley's is Bonkers.

If I tried hard enough I could remember a few more.

 

[FatPizza]

Either Cripps' or Ryan's was a CCR song.

If I was playing AFL I'd choose Hot Potato.

Yeah Ryan's was "Have you ever seen the rain", not sure if that's the actual title.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

The only Eagles player who's goal song I can remember is Lu Painters cos most of her goals came at memorable times and wins

What's funny briztoon?

What's funny is the dick can't leave our board alone.

Plus I've only seen us in away games the last decade

North jumping up.

They have a worse defence than you.

How has this not had more run here tonight, my goodness. Insidious garbage that chews up everything near it, has never delivered anything worthwhile, and actively makes the world a much worse place is now teaming up with AI to help him coach.

I wish the death ride thread were alive to see this.
