Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[MRB37]

He has been playing like that for years in our back yard. 25/26 is young in anyone's standards. Would be more value than Berg and Frampton or even Fog. Can play anywhere around the ground.

Being in "our backyard" is meaningless. Every team scouts every competition.

He was playing up regularly without getting caught by the media.

He’s not the only one. He got caught is all.

Geelong didn't want a replica of last season's round 1 where we jumped them, they look switched on and aggressive early

And bombers look ghastly.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Geelong are being made to look good by a lazy and switched off bombers. It is funny watching every second player who touches the ball for Geelong is a trade. Lol.

Essendon have Zero forward line particularly with out Stringer and Tippa

This is looking like a 100 point shallacking

 

[hey shorty]

Great crumbers goal

Watching Hawkins still dominate at 33 gives me hope that Tex still has a couple of years left in him yet.

Ironically I think missing 6 games might be a huge help to that.

Geelong. Too old. TOO GOOD.

They are still a contender, no doubt about it.

Talk about getting a bit excited over a first round win against a very cr@p Essendon.

Let's wait and see how they go against some actually good teams.

Brad Close another one to add to the ever growing list of players under our noses that we refused to pick up

Just bragging out the people who keep on making fun of them for been too old. We'll see anyway against teams like Melbourne, etc.

 

[hey shorty]

4 for Stengle, no one has bothered to go near any Cats players all day.

Nah, they're a home and away beast but they've not got what it takes to win the grand prize.

 

[Scorpus]

I'm perfectly okay with Essendon not winning a final for another year

Would be good to go back and quote all the posters saying that Rowe is an equivalent talent and losing Stengle was no big deal in terms of talent. Stengle has more talent in his little finger than Rowe will ever have. Turning it into performance was the only query on the kid.

 

[hey shorty]

If my girls side put out the level of pressure Essendon have I'd be ropable.

This is pathetic

TBF Rowe would be doing the same thing against this team today.

There were only a few of us who rated Stengle.

He's downhill skiing here though.

His departure hasn’t bothered me until now, when it really bloody is.

Based on what was reported we set pretty fair requirements for him, but he decided to stiff us and another team was always a chance to benefit.

Would be handy in our front 6.

no he wouldn't. Stengle is a far superior footballer.

 

[hey shorty]

no he wouldn't. Stengle is a far superior footballer.

No he isn't.

He's playing in a side leading by nearly 80 points, with little to no pressure on the ball. If you think Jimmy couldn't do that then you're not as bright as I thought you were.
