Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XIII

[Back One Out]

Very “meh” player for mine.

Reminds me of Jake King, more of a mascot than a footballer and a very punchable head

Papley's career stats are pretty much the same as Fantasia's, except he's only been on Sydney's list for three years. It's a feather in his cap that he's been elevated to Sydney's leadership group at a relatively young age. Why the derision?

We just like shitting on the opposition. Facts don’t really come into it

Sure

I just reckon the opposition small forwards are always the most unfairly maligned players in the AFL. Everyone hates their guts and shitcans them at every opportunity. I think it's a combination of their small stature, goal nous and requisite feisty attitude which grates on people.

Papley doesn't look like much, but I reckon he's a bit of a gun.

 

[BrunoV]

Blakey looks an amazing prospect. He's shown a glimpse of virtually every part of the game you'd want from a KPF.

Very clean and agile, kicks the ball beautifully, knows how to draw the ball on the lead and has taken a strong mark or two.

He has a similar shape to Cripps so it's a bit hard to tell what he grows into. He could be end up like Westhoff or could fill out into a monster like Cripps. It's hard to tell because he doesn't have a big upper body (i.e. width of shoulders and thickness of chest) and those guys don't usually fill out.

Papley is good and leadership groups are stupid as ****

Blakey has them both beaten for pace, Blakey can get genuine separation from a stoppage, he becomes a mid long term imo.

The dogs managed 40 free kicks and still lost, safe to say the umpiring has been absolute abysmal in the JLT, they should just treat every game like a grand final and let more stuff go.

That's with them missing the 30 throws a game.

Anyway, you know they dont change the way they umpire.

I get it, Aussie Rules IS a difficult game to officiate, it really is.

As such, you can kind of accept that there will be a few bad calls a game.

But on an all too consistent basis, there are calls which just defy belief, which can only be explained by the fact that we have sub-standard officials.

And it also seems to be the only profession in the world where spending more time working on the craft wouldn't improve it. Or that's the only logical conclusion I can possibly arrive at for not having full-time umpires.

EAD Carlton

That’s a great call no matter what.

Out of interest, is there a particular reason for this outburst?

Those *s would have been gloating/trashing us all week after beating us in JLT 1 so * them.

Do people still gloat over preseason wins?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Carlton fans would especially when they beat Essendon

 

[Haychh]

The 2-0 preseason memes would’ve been worth it

To be fair - the organisation that gives them direction has no idea what it's doing.

Melbourne challenging Steven May's 1 game ban.

 

[Beerfish]

Must be a free hit surely?

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Must be a free hit surely?

That’s what Steven thought.

 

[eDPS]

I hope May gets off tbh, id be upset if Francis got suspended for something like that.

I won’t be too stressed if he gets off.

Ohhhh lord

Ohhhh lord

That’s the face of a man dying inside.
