Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion Thread

[Ochre]

Has a team ever missed finals from 9-0?

Never fallen below fourth at any stage before.

 

[Figure09]

Magpies win would be a solid for us.

Likewise GC

Not gonna happen let's hope we turn up tomorrow

Probably the wrong thread, but how much better a commentator is Papalia than all these other clowns. BT, Richo and Darcy make a game unwatchable IMO, same goes for Dwayne. And don't even mention Basil and Hamish.

Dermott and Lingy are my favorites

No-one seems to have figured out the Crows tactically yet, which is surprising. You'd think someone would work out by now how to stop them getting goals out the back. I think with a fortnight to prep they could be in trouble first week of finals.

Give me the end to end angle and I reckon I could have a stab at it, helped steer the Uni Footy Club second Colts team to a flag a few years ago. I'll crack the code.

How was Brad Scott's presser? Did he ask about the roof?

Probably blamed the way the groundsman mowed the grass

Why don't we concentrate on winning and our form we aren't that flash at the moment

We're literally in the one thread on our own board where we don't talk about our club.

North would have to be my second favorite team this season. After watching them go through the first half of the year undefeated now I get to enjoy watching the not win another game and hopefully finish about 12th.

 

[ioppolo]

Is Brad contracted next season?

This is very much a "always look on the bright side of life" moment. Yeah we aren't too flash, but we're better than North
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

God I hope so.

Pies hanging thereabouts, just doubt hey could pull this off though.

If they can at least keep it close so Adelaide don't get a percentage boost

They are going to be a difficult opponent at the MCG in a couple of weeks

Collingwood have been decent tonight.

Maybe North can beat them next week and really deflate them.

 

[The Dodger]

I remember the main board threads awash with North fans asking why nobody rates us after their start.

Also on Dangerfields performance last night..Adelaide had him turning in performances like that and couldn't go anywhere with him. I reckon a certain amount of cohesion goes out the window with his one man show routine and the team gets locked into waiting for the next Dangerfield moment.

Oh well don pyke left and now the crows could win it all

Hawks flag to lose at this point. But we are definitely missing Don Pyke.

I agree is it really simmo? What about bevo hes doing well too

Bevo is going ok. If Simmo's team win this week they are in the top 4. Pretty close season but the fourpeat is well and truly on.

Must suck with this fourpeat anyone here like bored if hawks win it again

If we can't win the GF (doubtful but hopeful) don't care who else wins it with the exception of the Hawks, Geelong or Swans in that order, as they have all had their share of winning the big one over the last 10 years. Probably will go for Adelaide if it's beyond us??

It's never just all one person that helps a team to win a flag. It's the combination of everyone involved. Think Pyke complimented Simmo's game plan and requirements. Unfortunately Coxy (not having a go at him) is just not in the same ballpark. Pyke was a smart footballer, businessman and now coach. He most certainly was a big loss though with all his attributes. That's why Adelaide head-hunted Pyke, as they knew all about his attributes due to him having been an assistant coach at Adelaide previously.

Cox was a smart footballer, is a businessman and an assistant coach who pretty much was at every Eagles stoppage discussion for last 15 years. Is cox not better only because he looks more goofy? Why wouldn't he be in same ballpark. Stoppages aren't some rocket science thing to be honest. U can't make up some special moves as opposition will catch on.

For me it's just lack of ability. A number of players are down this year, we tried other players in there like redden who haven't worked out and missing players like sheed.
