Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XIV

[owen87]

That is just about the most terrifying attack in the competition for mine.

Excellent blend of talents, ability and size.

With reasonable delivery they'll be hard to stop if they're all fit and on the park; Daniher & Cameron are basically undefendable on a lead. Hopefully they all remain unable to kick straight when they play EFC.

REALLY want JD to kick one out on the full after the siren against us. Bombers by a point. Justice for all.

Odd considering their success with Polly

I agree.

But it probably more reflects that with changes in board, selection committees, recruitment, coaches etc. that ideas change

Google tells me Gary Malarkey played in that period too.

 

[yodellinhank]

All 3 are pretty mobile, plus they have Cameron / McCarthy / Rayner down there so it'll be a 3 x Tall + 3 x Med-Smalls. All 6 being good overhead too.

The real question is are they going to be able to defend the kick out. That's where their season will be won our lost.

With their inaccuracy added to Daniher, they may well be defending a LOT of kick-outs too.

Fully expect he'll start slotting them from everywhere now, to be honest.

Judas.

 

[boncer34]

Surely you can only have 2 big guys up there at one time?? You can get away with it in intraclub matches but in a real match the opposition will just run it out of defense with Joey jogging along at the back of the chase.

Pre wanting to play anywhere but Essendon, Joe did alright with his defensive efforts.

Yep it seems inevitable that he'll go at 70% from now on. And play 20+ games a season.

Geez the Hawkes might be struggling for any decent players by Round 1 at this rate.

What we learned from scratch match: Dogs’ rookie bolter; Hawks recruit shines, young guns impress

Bulldogs’ rookie R1 bolter; young guns prove there’s light at end of Hawks’ tunnel: What we learned

www.foxsports.com.au

Hawthorn has its own injury concerns with Chad Wingard suffering a calf setback in last week’s intraclub, and misses today along with Jack Scrimshaw (knee).

Tom Mitchell (shoulder reconstruction) is still recovering from off-season surgery while James Sicily (ACL) and Jack Gunston (back) are in the rehab group.

FTFY.

Jesus, if all of Mitchell, Wingard, Scrimshaw and Gunston miss on top of no Sicily all season, it'll be embarrassing if we lose round 1. Book it in

Hawks managed to beat the Dogs today. Obviously only preseason, but still...

Fool has already told them he's gone at the end of the year.

Sport Integrity boss wants ‘zero tolerance’ on illicit drug use

David Sharpe says sports codes must impose harsher penalties on their players if sanctions by WADA don’t go far enough.

www.smh.com.au

I've been waiting for this article. With WADA reducing ban lengths for postive illicit drugs tests on match day to almost nothing, the illicit drugs polices that many sporting codes have, which were introduced due to WADA's insane and stupid ban periods that previously existed, now have little reason to exist, and certainly little reason for 'tougher' bans as many would like. it seems this David Sharpe fella knows this too, so he's changing the reason around illicit drug policies to be one of law and order. This reasoning and him can get in the bin, but it'll probably have supporters

Legalise illicit drugs the same way alcohol and tobacco is legalized. No criminal element to it that way.

each club should simply have a designated person to get the drugs for the players

I must be feeling particularly masochistic today. Just got up to date with this thread by reading the last dozen or so pages. I think I now need a lie down...
