No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome**

Nothing to do with us but Gill's about to announce a decision on Lachie Whitfield soon. Other boards are speculating about substantial penalties for all parties concerned, including draft penalties for GWS. We can only wish! Presumably "Nothing to see here" and wet lettuce slaps (suspended).

The thing that bugs me is they have known that there was a possible problem with ASADA since August but still did not strongly advise GWS to not play Whitfield in the finals. Imagine if GWS had narrowly won the Prelim and gone on to win the flag, and Whitfield was subsequently sanctioned. What a shambles, narrowly averted.

The melts on the sobraves board would have a source of entertainment all summer.

Nick Kommer has been delisted by the bombers - I initially thought it was because they've finally introduced a no dickheads policy but reminded myself it's the bombers....

Remember how we used to think Kyle Reimers was a bit of a dickhead? Then he (kinda) blew the whistle on the whole Essendoping regime...

Was kommer part of the suspended group - this is where the bombers will need to tread carefully.

So GAJ wants out. Asked for a trade back to Geelong and got told no by the Sun's.

Bit of a cheek even asking imo

Wonder if the Hawks would take Buddy back and whether Sydney would release him

I wouldnt take buddy back. Not sure about cats fans, smacks of taking the money then wanting to come back for all the geelong connections.

Ya cant have both

Or he has realised the gold coat is a soulless dump

Suck on that Cochrane, you pathetic flog.

If he doesn't want to go to China, all he has to do is say so.

Hah other than dudes going there cause they know they will get gametime, noone wants to be there right now.

He would be 67 years old but would still be a better forward option than CLoke

No, but you would be forgiven for thinking he was missing for the last 2 years.

He played three games this year (yeah, I'm also struggling to remember them), so no.

Reimers wasn't one of the 34 either, from memory.

Never fear, Stephen Wells is already clearing cap space to bring Gazza back home to the Cattery next year!

We 'heart' Geelong

 

[Hawks89898989]

when ablett wants out, you know your club is in the dirt.

 

[hamohawk1]

If we still played at waverley park how ugly would of some of our wins been from 08-even this year?. Could've seen some 200 point thrashings with our attacking play

Only two Friday night games and both against Sydney - wtf and only six home games at the MCG


http://www.watoday.com.au/afl/afl-n...ckle-hawks-in-round-five-20161026-gsbk4e.html


"Hawthorn have also suffered in terms of Friday night football after hosting six of the prime time fixtures in 2016. Next season that number has been at least halved with the Hawks hosting just one Friday night home game which falls at the MCG against the Swans. Sydney will in turn host its fierce rival on a Friday night at the SCG"

Can only imagine how that went down ...

... Geelong, Collingwood, Sydney, Adelaide & Gold Coast twice.

 

[cryptor]

Ablett's shoulder is cooked. Probably wants to go back to Geelong because he won't be the number one target for opposition.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Good lord the Suns board is like visiting North Korea. A thread about the Ablett story was shut down - I mean why discuss the fact that yet another one of your star players, this one the only captain you've ever had, wants out of your club. Silence all dissent!

On top of that they have a stickied thread for professing their love for Cochrane - with many of them adding him as their avatar. It is headed with this post.

"What a legend. A hero. The true voice of the Gold Coast

Been listening and re-reading his spiels all night!

I propose, for a short while at least, all in support of Tony change our Avatar pics to the man himself"

Imagine if this was all you had to cheer for. Your club's biggest star was the guy responsible for running it into the ground. If he's the 'true voice' of the Gold Coast - then the Gold Coast is beyond f*cked. No dissent and an unhealthy worship of their ineffective leader - welcome to the Pyongyang of the footy world.

It ain't easy being a Suns fan. A little violence is needed to keep the plebs in line.

So again there will be one home game at Etihad (as in 2013 v WC and 15 v Port), then? All because CarLOLton want to play more home games at the MCG?

Amazing that despite the fact that we were #1 on the membership table this year, the AFL* still treat us like a middle of the road club.

Maybe a message to Hawthorn fans to better attend MCG games to be honest. That Collingwood and Richmond drew bigger home game crowds than us last year is a bit poor.
