Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion Thread

[RookiePick]

Yeah I kinda agree, but then again improvement in Ebert and Stevens has been incremental rather than revolutionary

Frustrating how easily some teams seem to churn out strong mids though. We need to poach their development staff

To be fair other teams likely look at us with our rucks and KPP and think the same.

Exactly
He's been lazy/dumb or a combination of both
The preseason and rookie drafts at the end of 2010 are officially called 2011 even though they're held in 2010. He's looked and seen 2011 and run with it without giving it any thought
He's an idiot basically - that article whilst there are some truths in it is an incoherent ramble

Perhaps he decided to litter his article with as many errors as Fremantle have made in their recruiting

"The Dockers averaged scoring at around 89 points through home-and-away appointments under Lyon into four finals campaigns." [WHAT?]

"Retirement of star defensive general and all-time great backline Luke McPharlin..." [LUKE IS APPARENTLY A BACKLINE]

"But more crippling in any Dockers capability go remain within touch of another top-four finish is a clear failure to adequately compensate foreseeable decline in ageing stars with new talent and development of those players to step straight into critical play-making roles in a winning style." [ANOTHER POORLY EDITED AND WORDY SENTENCE]

My head hurts after reading that drivel. It reads like it's been put together by a student who left his assignment to the last minute. Syntax and word selection are very poor for an experienced journalist.

I like when a caller questions Hackdorn on 6PR and he gets defensive and then flips out and starts yelling abuse. It's the best part of his contributions on the radio.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Given the way Fremantle have defended since he retired, I don't think it's entirely inaccurate to refer to McPharlin as a backline.

How long until the media finally recognize North as a premiership challenger this year.

Because they're beating Richmond?

 

[ep2018]

Because they're beating Richmond?

Because they're playing better footy than everyone bar Sydney this year?

Same this must resemble to some small extent what it's like to have hope as a Tigers supporter

If we beat the dogs on Sunday I'd put us behind the Swans in 2nd

North are shit.

 

[Biggie]

L. Thomas lol you flog

 

[Quinz]

Tigers are being dudded. But their kicking is awful.

 

[Biggie]

Anyone watching Stosur tonight?

 

[FatPizza]

Anyone watching Stosur tonight?

Probably better than the footy, although I've been burned too many times hoping for her to win .
Either way the fact North is only 4 goals up is almost as embarrassing as Richmond's kicking into the forward 50.

 

[Biggie]

North are rubbish and deserve no accolades.

Great start to the year certainly but are no threat.

We will mince them at Subi.

 

[Biggie]

Stosur broken 1st game gee whiz ffs

 

[Biggie]

Well that's 3-0 for Stosur.

In 11 freaking minutes!

 

[matt_bas]
