Oppo Camp Non Eagles AFL discussion thread III

[jatz14]

Having a car crash is rare, but the outcome can be disastrous, so we wear a seatbelt. Similar thinking for mine. The thought of anything rupturing in my undercarriage scares the bejeesus out of me.

There will be more car crashes this morning, than ruptured testicles in footy over the next decade.

I think it’s only a matter of time before Brayshaw/Daniel style helmets are commonplace

I’d have no issue with that if it helps to mitigate or even eliminate the effects of concussion on our game

 

[Cuzz09]

Then how will we complain about players spending more time worrying about their hair and not enough time sharpening their skills/tackling/fitness

Because they'll come out with Bling helmets in no time

Seems a little impractical to me to guard against what is a pretty rare occurrence - two in recent weeks but can’t recall hearing of it previously

Craig Turley dislikes this.

 

[Forward Press]

And that's why fan's shouldn't run clubs. This proves my exact point.

No, they shouldn't run clubs but if, like in Freo's case, the members are dropping away rapidly and there is an air of discontent out there on social media and mainstream news, the club's board should act.

 

[06Premiers]

We get to complain about them adjusting their helmets and playing with their box if dazzler gets his way

Or this...

SUMICH

SUMICH

Always a bridesmaid

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

I reckon Sumich would be a good pick. The knock on him used to be that he was too old school and wouldn't relate to the younger generation but I reckon years of working with the U18s would have rounded out whatever rough edges there were. I'd like to see him get a gig, and tbh if it's not Freo I can't see where it would be. Carn Suma.

 

[Max zero]

"Freo way to go,
No CEO and crowds down too!
Oh Freo we give coaches the heave ho,
We are Freo Dockers!"

Honestly Suma deserves better. You just know they won't embrace him cause he is ex Eagle and will be white anting him from the start.

 

[Into The Black]

Or this...

That clip of Fyfe . I'm speechless. Hope the fans gave him heaps.

SUMICH

Written by Tom Morris - confirmed idiot

it would be a surprise if someone outside Sumich or Longmuir did not get the job.

That quoted bit means the exact opposite of what he’s trying to say

 

[Max zero]

I suspect it will have the opposite effect. Since everyone is using helmets players will be even more reckless.

Not sure whether this tweet needs any explanation!

Unfortunately, helmets have been proven to do very little to stop concussion, as the brain still rattles in the skull during to the fact it sits in amniotic fluid.

I’m surprised Ross didn’t announce his own retirement without first letting Ross know

From flag favourite to begging for handouts from the AFL in 1 year.

Thats gotta be a first.

 

[jesterwester]

Personally I think Fremantle need to get someone without any freo links.

Someone to come in with fresh eyes, without the “freo boy coming back to save the club” Tagline which will inevitably follow a Sumich or Longmuir appointment. They need someone to come in, wipe the slate clean of the previous Lyon regime and not be afraid to ruffle some feathers in doing so. Someone with exisiting freo links may find that harder to do so if they’ve got personal connections within the club already.

Granted, that is what we did with appointing Simmo as coach which has been a success for us, but they need someone who can take the group and adapt to the modern game. Not someone stuck in methods which were only successful a decade ago.

Having said that, I genuinely hope Suma gets a go. Personally think he would have done a good job for us had he been appointed last time around. He probably would have got a job at one of the Melbourne clubs had it not been for personal connections to Perth.

Interested to hear from HoneyBadger35 on this matter.

 

[Dazzler9]

Interested to hear from HoneyBadger35 on this matter.

Having just listened to the podcast, if the AFL signed off on Melbourne getting ANYTHING, it could be added to the other 4 farcical administrative decisions discussed this week.
