No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

[AlwaysHawks15]

Jeez, I was well into my thirties when I met what could be generously called a "nice" Richmond supporter. Even now I probably only know less than five. The rest border on the sociopathic.

Over here that behaviour is generally balanced by the appalling behaviour of crows fans.

I had a group of Tiger supporting mates that were flogs when they were rubbish. Glad I wasn't around them when they were good would have been insufferable to deal with.

Collingwood trying to play two home game each year on the Gold Coast 9 news reporting, one against GC the other against a vic team.

That'll be a week for Grundy. What an idiot.

 

[I got the outside word]

Horse has every right to be furious. That was dumb.

He did the same thing to Meek, needs to be punished. Maybe just a fine, but early this season, they gave someone a week.

Some of the throws from the Dogs are so beautiful they need to be in the Louvre!

They're looking the goods

Umpire dogs well and truly back in force

Naughton wouldn't have been injured if the umpire paid incorrect disposal against the Bont.

Juxtaposition for Bevo to raise in the presser

 

[moginie]

Dale should have nailed that one.

 

[KermitJagger]

Overly fatigued players from massive game length and a ridiculously low rotation cap is just gonna result in more ACLs.

I know someone is going to say that Naughton was put into an unnatural position, but a less fatigued person is much less likely to suffer an injury when that happens.

I'm completely unconvinced that the game is a better product now than it was in 2013 / 2014 when the interchange cap was first introduced, and it has only continued to get worse with every additional time they cut it. More injuries, less scoring, more stoppages, slower play every year, almost year on year.

 

[Paul Kersey]

That's a terrible free.

 

[eldorado]

Ha....

that was a high tackle?

This sport is a mess regarding adjudication and regulation.

 

[Alite]

Naughton looks to have done his ACL…. Hopefully for him it’s an ankle. Fortunately for Naughton, he has an 8 year deal.

This from Kane Cornes after the 8 year deal was announced…
“It’s just a huge price to pay and I just think committing such a big portion of your salary cap to a player who, yes is a good player but hasn’t reached the heights that he would’ve liked to. And then there’s the durability factor. Every time I watch Aaron Naughton

play, I feel like he’s one marking contest away from a serious injury … what’s that going to look like in five years time, let alone nine?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

West is selfish.

Also, got to feel for Naughton. Terrible loss for the Doggies.

20th ACL this season or thereabouts

 

[TheFourPillars]

20th ACL this season or thereabouts

I think this def because players are being more careful about bringing said player to ground.

 

[hawk for 37]

Love the Bont signals to the umpire to give him a free for a high tackle half way thru the actual tackle.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Wonder how many have occurred at the Dome. There needs to be some kind of inquest into the quality of the fields at seasons' end.

My spread sheet has them the second ranked team in the league.

Bramble lol

And then the fifty, for pointing out how bad the decision was.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Bramble lol

Yeah that was prime Box Hill Bramble. Haha.
