Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XIV

Could never stand seeing Melbourne members win a flag...go Dogs

As my earlier posts in this thread suggest (before their last couple of games), I'm a big fan of Melbourne this year.

There will be setbacks on the way, yes, but they are going to seriously contend come the business end of the year.

I'd rather them than some of the other options! (Clearly won't be us)

They are looking good. Have always had the talent on their list. Was just about attitude. About time they started playing to their ability.

What you say is true but we have also had players who would saunter into half back and get a possession but not really work hard to link in after that. What the dogs do is work hard to win that back half possession and then they surge through the middle but do not push too deep forward. The Giants took it too them for a while by putting a lot of pressure on the surging players and forcing a turnover. Unlike us who let them charge out of the back half like they where the 1st Light horse brigade.

The VFL boys did surge forward to create overlaps and link up along the wing a couple of times yesterday. I think that's how Cutler found himself on the end of it a couple of times. Hopefully that's reflective of what's happening at training and the way we're moving as a group.

Football is weird.

Every time I think I know what is happening, I see a day like today.

Ugh. I know. My tipping got destroyed yesterday.

We have done it in the seniors as well. Hawthorn second quarter and a lot in the Saints game. Also some in the Swans game. Work in progress and you need to build the confidence and skill levels to carry it out consistently. You also have to be careful that you do not go like the Saints and start getting too far in front of the ball to a point you can not get back.

West Coast's away mindset. Maybe the lockdown news had some effect on the psyche as well.

It was at Geelong and West Coast stink away.

Mine too but I was happy the underdogs got up. Today, have tipped Hawks but would prefer a Crows win. Yesterday was a sensational day of footy.

losing it lol

“Witnesses to the incident have said that McCartney burst into the umpires' rooms at the break to approach them about what he perceived as incorrect decisions for the Giants during the first half of the club's 39-point loss at Manuka Oval.”

I'm sure the umpires were duly chastened and paid every free kick in their favour for the rest of the game...

 

[VelvetSledge]

McCartney is a peanut. Just look at how he’s acted over trade periods the past few years

 

[Beerfish]

McCartney burst into the umpires' rooms

 

[Zach Package]

Club should be fined 50k for that just for how dumb it is

 

[Ati Tude]

Kangas to do 14 day quarantine after playing in Perth. Can't really take a trick. They allowed to train. Not clear to me if they can play a game next weekend. Mind you, no one would notice if they didn't. Lucky for AFL that Eagles and Dockers scheduled to play each other next week.

 

[BomberFan355]

Crows with 12 straight, crazy accuracy.

Make that 13 now.

LOL

 

[eth-dog]

Hawthorne's key defenders are very bad.

 

[mike14]

Is 14 straight a record?

 

[JayJ20]

10 goals that quarter. I can see why Hawthorn usually play a boring defensive style.

 

[sameolds33]

now 14 at half time

Jason McCartney reacting over-emotionally to situations that dont run exactly how he wants them to?

Shocked to be sitting here

 

[Doss]

To really piss McCartney off, make sure to ask him how his 1999 grand final was.

 

[TheGrizz]

Thilthorpe looks soooooooo good

Also Matty Nicks is COY at the moment

 

[rumply]

Riley Thilthorpe 5 goals on debut, so far...
