Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion Thread

[neng]

Fair dinkum, Jack Watts is one of the worst footballers going around. They have to drop/trade him.

Nothing but a spud, just mentally not up to the challenge

I love how Freo supporters come on to the Gameday Thread on the main board and bully opposition supporters if they don't agree with them (about umpiring decisions etc) and then sook about "West Coast trolls" spoiling the discussions on the thread.
There are many Freo supporters on this site who are very discourteous and seek to make the experience of those who disagree with them as miserable as possible.
(I should caveat this with the fact that I've seen Hawthorn supporters do it at well)

They've been such a laughing stock for so long that most of their supporters have a massive chip on their shoulders. Now that they are up and about they feel entitled to let everyone know about.

Thankfully they still have achieved SFA in the wider view of the AFL community, therefore really have no leg to stand on. Just a bunch of self entitled flogs who think Ross the Boss is the chosen one.

Can freo handle the premiership favourites tag?? With swans and hawks stumbling, it has to the year that freo Bradbury their way to the flag. They've shown over the last few years they can't compete with the swans or hawks at their best, they have both now fallen away, allowing freo to defend their way to a gifted flag. I'm still banking on fyfe and Slalomtyne choking it up big time on GF day if they make it.

I didnt say he wasn't an elite player

You asserted he was an elite midfielder - something he isn't

What is he then? Rotates through the midfield in near on every game.

I hate Freo as much as anybody, but I don't get this post. How are Freo doing a Bradbury if they are genuinely the best side in the comp this year? The Hawks and Sydney falling away doesn't make it a Bradbury.

Can't stop laughing at Maxwells pre game analysis....what a clownshoe,

 

[The Dodger]

All thanks to this

The All Ighty Ollar?...oh I get it.

 

[SpaceClef]

Gray with a hand injury?

 

[JADED]

Schulz also shaking his right hand. Few genuine marking contest whacks should fix it.

Late in Q2, the Crows had 20 odd inside 50's for the quarter for a return of 0.3, power 4 i50's for 2goals.
This will likely happen to us next week as we can dominate patches for little return.

Hoping for a brutal second half.

Can't believe the bombers got up. It was looking like a st kilda win.

Roughead rotates through the midfield as well - shall we call him a midfielder?

Hodge certainly has played more midfield minutes this year than would be the average

But 1 or 2 seasons playing quality through the midfield doesn't put you in the same pedestal as the others you wrote

Hodge generals behind the ball - he's very good at it. But as a pure mid... He's not elite

Yeah maybe not a Bradbury, just a lot of luck going their way, I don't think they're any bette than they have been in the last 2 years, but those around them have fallen away, I guess it always going to happen though. Right place right time.

They are very fit and healthy atm too. Question marks will come over the older guys lasting the year.

I don't buy that hawthorn and sydney have fallen away. It's only round 5 - sydney are notorious slow starters and hawthorn were 2 seconds from beating essendon and nearly ran down port after giving them an 8 goal head start

Anywhere ! Anytime !
Except the MCG on grand final day

Maybe Hawthorn are trying to replicate their low key start to last season when they were devestated by injuries.

This year they haven't got the injuries but are manufacturing the absenteeism by belting people,

The way they dismantled North was above anything that I've seen this year.

NN is so overrated he's not even as black as the media make him out to be

Am I the only one who thinks Lewis is tremendously lucky not to be going with Hodge to the Tribunal?

Didn't seem that bad but I've only seen it once. Could look worse if viewed from different angles/slowed down etc.

 

[Johnno22]

Ummm

22 is the new 9

 

[Natho]

Freo getting a dream run with the umps.

Lets hope that changes come September

Was lucky it was sort of in a marking contest . Funny thing is last time Lewis was suspended he belted Goldstein in the same way .
People say Lewis and hodge are unsociable I just think they are dirty snipers .

 

[The Dodger]

Ummm

Unlikely as they both spell and pronounce their last names differently as well as wearing different numbers.
