Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

[Priddis Is Done]

Banfield jnr with 8 disposals, a goal and 3 tackles from the half forward flank so far. Make of that what you will.

Doubled Barnett's pea harted best.

 

[No Hassle Hough]

Gunston is their most important forward and Barrass is their only back with true kpd size.

Just shows how vulnerable virtually every team is with two or three injuries to key players. Every team has a few star players and the rest are role players. The role players are replaceable, the star players are not.

WC have been crippled by injuries the last few years including this one.

The only problem with that is all our injuries are to Role players (Robertson, Graham, Edwards, Newton etc). Must be key role players

Who qualifies as key player for us at this point?

Waterman, Ginbey, Harley....

While not A graders, your only decent KPB and your only defensive midfielders missing for a team like us have a massive impact on our ability to be competitive.
I called it when Dev and Graham went out. Some said they are only role players but losing that amount of tackling pressure from our midfield has resulted in us going from a promising season to being prime spoon contenders.

Richmond have lost another player today due to Injury - Campbell Gray against the Saints, he injured his hamstring. That's now 19 players on Richmond's injury list. It's getting towards "West Coast level season 2022" where the club is decimated by injury and has to dip into state league to find some players, in 2022 it was West Coast using the WAFL....this time Richmond will have to look at the VFL.

Look for accountants.

 

[KERRPOW]

I don't necessarily agree - having it come from your father that was an AFL footballer and was there to support you for your junior career would be pretty special.

To be fair charlies dad is probably the biggest name in that room.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I'll give this to Richmond, they got like 30 blokes on the injured list and still only losing games by 36 points. While we continually lose by 60+ every week with a few first choice players on our injured list.

They don't get many actual premiership players in the walls of their organisation.

Catch ya come finals time mate.

 

[Shuestar13]

Thank goodness the last game of the round is due to start, people can take their carry on to the appropriate thread here’s hoping

 

[SAweagle]

Great debut Banners.

They also win games, did you forget already?

 

[sharps24]

Charlie B: 11 possessions a goal 3 marks 3 tackles from 60% game time. Nothing wrong with that for a first AFL game. Good Luck to him and the Saints in the future.

Harley Reid: 16, 2, 2, 0

^Would have liked to see some more scoreboard pressure from these #1 picks but it's clear they have a slight edge.

 

[Lunchtime]

They also win games, did you forget already?

Richmond = only 1 win so far this season

Drew has won double the amount of flags St Kilda has

 

[DorothyG]

Probably helps not travelling 8hrs and living in a hotel room every other week.

While it shouldn't be acceptable, I can appreciate why a blue and gold team may be more susceptible to heavy losses when bottoming out compared to their Melbourne counterparts

Will we hear 'they've only got themselves to blame '?

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Will we hear 'they've only got themselves to blame '?

No, we'll hear "this is unprecedented, no other team has ever had so many players unavailable".

 

[Bender_]

No, we'll hear "this is unprecedented, no other team has ever had so many players unavailable".

Zita was already saying this yesterday during his half-time update at the Richmond game - "it's reaching unprecedented levels". Media love using that line.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

No, we'll hear "this is unprecedented, no other team has ever had so many players unavailable".

Who is Jake Florenca?
