Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Hows our boy Chees going?

10 touches. 2 contested

Yeah, my annoyance of him leaving is quickly fading.

Classic winger who is barely noticeable during the match but ends up with enough disposals where he doesn't get dropped. Very vanilla player.

Dursma overtaken him in his 3rd game. Allen has shown more in his few games than Chesser ever did.

 

[happy_eagle]

Voss or Brad Scott?

Whos the first to go?

I don't think any other coach would be able to do anything with that current Essendon list.

 

[Monocle]

Pigs Arse

They’ve been Ellioted since the turn of the century

Love to see it

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Are Carlton us in 2020 but without the flag?

6th oldest list. Jagga and Dean looks good but yikes there's not much in the 25 and unders age range.

Cripps is hanging on by a thread, and Tassie on the way....Hoo boy

Yeah, that's a bad list. Not enough good young players. At least they cashed out on Curnow and got a bunch of first rounders, but getting Will Hayward (who's a pretty good player) might be pretty pointless if they still stink the next few years.

Probably the best thing for them would be to just try to bring in some good draft picks and young players and bottom out rather than treading water around 10th-14th since they do have enough talent on their list where they shouldn't be down with the absolute dregs of the comp. But they aren't going anywhere with this core. Just blow it up, bottom out and start over with a coach who unlike Voss isn't terrible.

Bad time to be bottoming out now though with Tassie swallowing up the draft soon.

At least we finished 5th by percentage in 2020. Carlton are us post round 13, 2021.

 

[Shuestar13]

Been given a nice start to the year also (not as good as North and Port mind you as Sydney in Sydney is tough) and all to show is a fall over the line against Richmond.

All there for North on Good Friday. They should be going 3-1…

 

[WCErevival]

Feels like Carlton, Essendon, North and Saints are forever terrible. Richmond at least got some flags.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Scott or Voss to be sacked this week?

Good Friday clash between North and Carlton is appointment viewing, Clarko could very easily be pulled back into that conversation too.

Clarko isn't going great guns, but he has the pedigree for north to hold firm and trust the process. Carlton and Essendon aren't as patient.

 

[Jootube]

Carlton board absolutely roasting Chesser.
No returns policy

 

[bs9594]

went 7/7 in tips, never had any doubts in the eagles or dees

 

[BeornJ]

So can someone explain why Long escaped suspension? He clearly whacked Oliver in the head off the ball.

Does it matter if it was just a clumsy hit or not?

I know Oliver has a history.... but still

I have an idea, why dont they play the 2nd half like they do the first?

Came super close to that, but I sadly had to sit and watch Carlton pull a Carlton

Carlton really do have the best fans in the comp

gone backwards since his breakout 3rd year 5 seasons ago? Feels low impact these days

Terribly ineffective by foot, they were just discussing him on First Crack as one that’s regressed.

Wonder what Chesser is thinking about right now.

FAFO



As shit as we've been, not sure ditching us for Carlton was the best career move. Thought Chess was showing something end of last season, him & Davis on either wing were looking pretty good.

But Duursma is levels above and Davis has been very good. Don't think we'll be missing him.
