Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion Thread

[W.C. Fry]

Yeah this whole thing has taken some of my interest in AFL games away. The whole Essendon thing is just a total sham. Hird still coaching is wrong.

Then of course the Eagles kinda going nowhere this year also does not get me excited for the season. Emac going down, Darling out for the start. Leaves a sour taste in mouth before we have even started.

Normally would have signed up for Dreamteam and tipping, CBF this year.

Was home all day yesterday and didn't even remember to watch the start of the game. Turned it on just before quarter time and watched up until half time. Hardly watched the 2nd half.

Will still go to all our games at Subi of course, love going to the footy. But staying home to watch neutral games... nah.

Matera named as an emg, maybe a gettable target at the end of the year

How good was that McIntosh kid. Remember a fair few posters rated him and hoping we'd pick him up

 

[whatis]

There's a thread on the Sydney board called something along the lines of "Where's Tom Mitchell?". Didn't bother reading it but could the future answer to that question be that he's playing for the Eagles? Heeney debuting for them tomorrow... they seem to have more good midfielders than they know what to do with these days.

He was a KPD pre-draft I remember. I saw him listed on the wing but missed the game, is that where he played?

192cm from memory so bit of a tweener like Darling. Tigers have converted him to a pretty effective wingman.

Not really. mcIntosh was always a dasher, well suited to playing on a wing at AFL level and played wing for Peels league side in 2012. He's added substantial size to his slim build, as he was drafted at just 78kg and looks to be over 90kg now.

The player id most liken him to would be Powell, both are elite runners and elite users by foot. The difference between the two is that Powell kept on growing a little more. Not that his height should discount him from playing on a wing.

Very similar types and I can see Powell playing a similar role if developed correctly. Powell is equally as dangerous when given space, can cut sides up with leg speed and accurate kicking.

Yeah basically ran around doing whatever he wanted. Think teams are going to look to shut him down if he keeps playing like that.

Omera with a knee injury in his comeback game. Worst case ACL or bestcase a dislocated kneecap.

Damn

 

[Chris_6678]

Damn

Yeah hope its not bad. That was doc larkins prognosis so who knows. The fact he was in agony for a long times makes me think it is a dislocated knee as they meant to be so painful.

 

[kane249]

Dees started well.

Gablett struggling with his shoulder and a close tag

 

[whatis]

Ablett spending almost as much game time staring at umpires as Jack Riewoldt.

I guess we can add Melbourne to the growing list of sides to finish above us? Or do we subtract Gold Coast?

I guess we won't find out until our season defining match in four hours time? [emoji23]

Everyone is above us remember.

Why oh why did I fall into the trap of picking Lumumba for my Dream Team

Gablett imposing his stamp on the game

 

[The Passenger]

We really would like Melbourne to hold on here. With the early injuries we have, every little thing that can go our way is a bonus.

Obviously a long way to go but at this stage you'd suggest pushing for finals is still a stretch for the Demons and the Suns should be around about where they were last year.

 

[kane249]

Jack Watts having a good game

 

[whatis]

Good on Melbourne! That's it fall apart Gold Coast. Eade, lol.

Rodney EAD lel

 

[kane249]

Please don't let Essendon win, the press will be unbearable.

 

[bluengold89]

Harley Bennel was wasted in the forward line today, needed more midfield time.

 

[whatis]

Sydney playing like they're in the Grand Final (not a good thing for them aha).

 

[bluengold89]

It's going to be tough to beat Hurley for worst haircut in the AFL this year.

Might be able to Sydney to list of sides to finish below us the way they're playing right now
