No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

You can . But its a style that wasnt overly successfully in his last few years for us .
Again its a wait and see

North were trying to move the ball aggressively by hand off half back. Didn’t quite have the skill execution plus windy day didn’t help but was some system there + they actually have some talent that could pull it off.

 

[The hands of stone]

It's a wonder that the Hawks gave so much for him knowing full well the extent of his injury.

You watch him out on the field nowadays he almost can't bend down to pick up a ball or turn. No way is he making it another three years.

Funny how some players like Sicily can come back from a knee even better than ever but for others like JOM it pretty much kills their career.

We had committed to him . Cochrane then decided to make an example of JOM due to players leaving GC.

You can easily argue we gave up way too much , but we told him we would get ut done and we kept our word

Nrl? Manly play souths in Vegas and get the second biggest crowd for the fixture in 50 years, double the average

NRL found a way to get crowds

 

[I got the outside word]

The SPP one had the guy being flung in the tackle and still came down fairly hard on him.

This one is significantly worse in my opinion. He was only looking to knock him out.

After Brayshaw’s retirement I wouldn’t be surprised if they tar and feather the bloke and parade him to the public. I would also not be surprised if they do sweet * all.

I don’t think there is any argument that the hit was an accident, looked like he intended to hurt.

 

[peetoo]

The hit was the absolute worst optics, and the perp not a media favourite

If you believe what that poster mentioned in here a couple of weeks ago then the use of the words 'no substance' in this tweet is pretty funny

Morris is a Melbourne supporter and genuine arseclown - filling the pants of Tom Browne now that he's off somewhere

Good ol' Clarko,

 

[nelk boys]

That bump was sickening. The neck and brain trauma doesn't leave you after 12 days either. I would be pushing for 8 weeks at least.

 

[peetoo]

Inb4 they start treating webster as a victim in the media. Nasty old clarko

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Just can't help himself.

I guess they have no leaders so somebody has to fly the flag

All the Saints had to say was "Ian Aitken". Game, set & match

The same guy where posters think he couldn’t possibly be racist

“Used a derogatory and demeaning term”

 

[Mitchell Madness]

The difference in reporting on clarkos latest outburst compared to his time at the hawks...

 

[KermitJagger]

Absolutely dumb by Clarko. In and of itself not a bad thing, but just a continuation of what he's always been like. If I were a North supporter I'd be pissed off that my club was under the pump off and on field and my experienced head coach couldn't keep himself out of the tabloids.

They've changed their tune. They love it now.

 

[SpanishBrowne]

How very Chris Scott of him

 

[lethalselbow]

Good on, Clarko.

Was a gutless, sickening, pathetic action by Webster. Weak.

Yeah what sort of player hits a guy in the head while he’s not looking in a practice/exhibition game…

Don’t get me wrong Websters action was horrible and he deserves a long stint on the sidelines. A mountain of irony in Clarko getting angry about it though.

Coach Alastair Clarkson was animated towards several St Kilda players at quarter-time, leaving some onlookers at RSEA Park stunned. Clarkson at one stage used the term “c***sucker” amid a string of expletives.

had a front-row seat to the explosive exchange.

“I wasn’t surprised, because I know Clarko well, that’s his DNA, he’ll protect his players,” Dixon told foxfooty.com.au.

“Sometimes his emotions can get the better of him.”

It's like Burgoyne. We'd committed to him early but then Jolly became available and was interested + filled a need, and we stayed the course because Silk had burned bridges based on knowing we were going to take him.

By all means go in to bat for your man, but it'd be nice if they'd cut out this bullshit.
