No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club’s news - Part 10

[Off The Couch]

Could see it all over his face at the end there.

In all seriousness he would be better of quitting - why would you want to put yourself through that shit

 

[lethalselbow]

Great intensity and a fun watch in the list quarter. KARLton went into their shells Reckon that's on the coach. Don't like his chances over the next few weeks

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Larkey loves a free kick.

Plays for them all the time and gets them - Curnow / Lloyd can add Larkey to these stagers.

Larkey kicked two goals today, both from free kicks. He is a serious flopper, that doesn’t get a sniff against a decent defender.

good for Kangas they have finally beaten 3 of the bottom 6. The AFL can’t give them any a softer draw.

Carlton, oh boy, the mental demons and scarring is going to last a while.

That’s their problem though. They don’t have anyone that can break the game open. They don't stay in their shells they don’t even have shells, they just don’t have the game changing talent. They are just a boring football side and when the game is to be won they don’t have anyone to turn to.

No one's quitting. There's probably close to a $1m payout he misses out on if he quits.

Because it’s his job.

Until the board decide it isn’t and he gets a big payout.

 

[Sturty]

Carlton

 

[Cleavy]

Voss getting the old DCM (Don't Come Monday)

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I tipped Carlton today, I thought they would come out and show a little bit of pride. I'm never tipping them again, not even against Essendon.

is out of the Adelaide team. Had I known that I would have selected them to win.

As an aside, those sneering at north getting a Good Friday ‘blockbuster’ can have a good look at a packed out stadium

 

[Slainte]

I thought Pittonet went OK. I wasn't sure how he would go under the new rules but he is managing to get his hand to the ball and direct it to advantage. The opposition was pretty ordinary but kudos to Pinnonet for sticking at it despite a fair bit of adversity and having an impact.

 

[Viddiot]

Wait,,,Is the navy blue team CarLOL, or LOLton?
(Asking for a friend)

 

[SSSSSS]

Zane Duursma is building himself nicely the last few weeks.

Don't think he'll ever be that high possession player that he showed glimpses of in his draft year but he could be a very high impact player.

 

[Rioli magic]

Hats off to North / Clarko and the young family in this press conference - very well done IMO.

 

[SSSSSS]

Wardlaw is an absolute gun. Hopefully his body holds up.

 

[Boot Studder]

Look out, Vossy, you’re about to get the full support of the Board!

 

[MasterSamurai]

Die carlolton die.

 

[hardway]

The Carlton death ride would’ve been sensational this season.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Teams lining up to play Carlton.

We have to wait until Round 18.

 

[CD Xbow]

Gary Ablett has been about one degree of separation from Desi Freeman for the last 20 years ..

More holes in Desi now.

 

[The hands of stone]

That's probably the closest North players have experienced to a finals like finish.

Nice clutch goal from Sheezel.

Wardlaw had some huge moments at the end there:

1) that smother
2) winning the ball back off Cripps at the centre bounce, after Cripps was breaking clear
3) nailing Cripps in a tackle deep in the Bluuz F50, after Cripps again looked like breaking clear

Cripps has aged 10 years in 2 seasons
Carrying that club has absolutely bbq'd him

Absolute non factor these days

 

[lethalselbow]

Nice press conference by Clarko. He's such a legend.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Nice press conference by Clarko. He's such a legend.

I thought exactly the same thing.

Then I watched Vossy presser and just laughed

 

[Ned Ryerson]

3 of the ‘big 4’ current in the cellar. Had Lynch kicked as per his pay grade neither Carlton or Essenscum have won a game this year. Richmond I’ll excuse becaue they have the membership, finances and recent success and are presently rebuilding nicely. I am sick to death of the two clubs who haven’t been relevant since the Clinton presidency claiming they are ‘big Melbourne clubs’. Facts are facts - your rusted on hoards of delusional, knuckle dragging supporters who light up SEN switchboards don’t make you big clubs.

Your prior success - the lions share of which happened before colour television was invented doesn’t make you a big club. Your dimwitted coteries who keep you anchored to mediocrity (at best) don’t make you a big club. The world has changed and I’ll be damned if these neauveau-minnow clubs are going to relegate us to second tier status when our success over the last 60+ years, our membership base, our financial status and overall stability post-96 have us as one of the most powerful clubs in the league. There is a ‘big 5’ in modern footy - but it’s West Coast, Collingwood, Geelong, Richmond along with us. Honestly there’s nothing better than seeing these pathetic old boy backed entities mired in misery - eat every bag of dicks you can muster (and have your president post on Twitter and then blame his wife’s mental health like the putrid coward he is).
