No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

[Charchi]

Going back to the Premiership rings / Medals discussion..

I wouldn't be against players who played say 80% of the total games in a season getting awarded a Premiership medal.

It still doesn't sit well that Derek Kickett lost out on one due to one mans spite.

Brendon Whitecross would be recognised as well.

It works well in other sports across the world - 80% of games played per year seems reasonable to me.

Unfortunately it has nothing to do with merit, private organisations have approached the AFL with a proposal to licence a product (premiership rings) which can be sold as memorabilia to supporters after the GF. Giving to players, coaches, staff, bootstudders, water boys etc is the justification.
The AFL is only interested in one thing and it is money and how they get more.

Yeah, let’s de-value the prestige of earning a Premiership Medallion on GF day by giving everyone who played that year one also

Only the north ceo would copy in every other ceo then leak their own email thread with the detail they shared. Approved leak by the afl head office no doubt

All it will do is make every other ceo not ever send an email again. Quite ridiculous really

Yeah, I don’t think so.

Walsh is such a gun. A dynamic inside & outside midfielder is exactly what we're missing.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Not looking forward to our game vs Carlton seeing them chop up the dees defence

 

[Crankyhawk]

Looks like a tennis score (5-0 30-0)

Renouf says hi

Nobody deserved recognition more than Whitecross but I doubt even a shitty ring would of made up for missing out

 

[Billyc]

Carlton botched a lot of opportunities in their losses to Geelong and Collingwood. Nailing every chance tonight. Their top end - Walsh, Cripps, Curnow, McKay, Weitering - is as good as any side

Five day breaks cut you up.

Geez the Blues can look like a premiership team when they’re really on

How about him saying they should draw more lines on the field? Then backpedaling the next sentence when someone said it was a terrible idea.

I’m watching it on mute and listening to Blues radio. Despite my dislike of the brown paper Baggers, it’s quite good. Would love them to offer a Hawthorn equivalent.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Curnow a frustrating player.

 

[peetoo]

Clarko pulling the soapy balls trick again. Sherrins stop gigging down the back

How was that not a free against Hollands? ****ing rubbish umpiring. Pick and choose.
