Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

I meant James wouldn't lower himself to that level.

Nah probably not. He was on radio last week saying they're all waiting for the penny to drop for Hammer so he makes something of himself. Got an almost perfect TER, was studying some astro physics or something, now he's clapping with dog poo in his hands for podcasts haha.

It was all a bit tongue in cheek but yeah I think the wider family had great ambitions for him despite his relative sporting shortcomings compared to his brothers.

Was Newmans punch on worse than Baltas?

Yeah. If Balta hit him instead of pushing him over he'd be getting locked up.

Mate, if that's not making it in life, then I don't know what is.

 

[Tugga27]

I don't think Balta will go to jail but would the AFL look at deregistering him?

They could.

From memory newmans actions were proven to be premeditated.

They should . Should also serve a longer suspension oncw the criminal conviction is handed down.

Hopefully Pickett left a shiv in a ramen packet for Balta to protect himself in the showers with.

Pickett, Balta, Cousins - whole bunch of crims they've had on their list. Hopefully some Richmond supporters can give this post a react when they read back through this thread after their next win.

 

[Grahame]

Before seeing that footage I would have 100% agreed with you (and wrote the same in the scandals thread).

But gee, having another go whilst the victim is in such a vulnerable position and posing no threat? I actually didn't think it would be anything like that.

I'd still lean relatively heavily to suspended but I'm nowhere near as certain as I was.

I wonder how many ‘law and order’ types will make an exception in this case but not for ‘others’?

You forgot Basher Houli, Tyrone Vickery, Bill Nicholls, Andrew Krakouer, Jake King, Justin Murphy and Phil Egan.

React to THAT, Tiger flogs...

Still playing wafl plenty of time for a serious career post wafl

 

[Tugga27]

You have to wonder if it was Harry Halfback Flanker who whacked him and not a player of Balta's calibre, if he would've have been sacked already.

Given both WA clubs passed on him character concerns must of been pretty severe

Nephew played against him a couple times... you could definitely say concerns lmao

 

[RookiePick]

That’s pretty shit from Balta but for a first offence I don’t see him going to jail for that - more likely a suspended sentence

Not saying that’s fair just that it’s what I guess will happen

I'm no body language expert but everything looked pretty calm and then Balta just charges in there. Wild.

 

[Tugga27]

I know you shouldn't laugh, but the guy in the foreground just munching on his kebab made me chuckle.

It’s hard without audio but certainly looks like he just blindsided the bloke for no apparent reason

No surprise he pled guilty

Think the AFL need to step in and hand down a further suspension once he’s been sentenced- players have been sat out of the game for longer having done far less

Should be de-registered really but they will want to sweep it under the rug and say its up to the court.

Two thoroughly unlikeable teams tonight. Hoping for a all in brawl

No care as to who wins, it’ll be funny whichever team loses

I'd love to see Essendon completely collapse and finish bottom 3 after re-signing Scott so early.

 

[Monsterdarlz]

Bombers play marvel pretty well I think they get up tonight

 

[eaglevision]

Still can’t believe the Bombers thought McKay was their band 1 defensive piece. Zane Duursma probably only needs to play 100 average games to make it a win for NM.
