Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[Phone]

There was a very similar thread on the MB earlier this week that got moved to the Bay for some reason.

weird they've never had a problem with terrible attempts at humour before

Why the **** would you need to use gloves? **** off.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Vickery could be not a bad partner for Joe.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Vickery could be not a bad partner for Joe.

Yes he could.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Yes he could.

Vickery in the square

Certainly a better option than having Brown forward.

Think you're forgetting about a certain hooker mate

Stuff that a back line line of Hooker,Hurley,Hartley

The bloke who showed plenty as a forward last year and was most likely going to be playing forward this year if not for suspensions, yes.

If we lose Hurley Hooker wont be playing forward.

Carlisle showed heaps forward hurley showed heaps forward hooker yes shown heaps forward but why waste a all Australian defender on the possibility of him showing something up forward

Not saying he would. Hurley and Hartley in defence with Joey and Hooker up forward is looking pretty good. Francis can swing around forward and back as that third tall and do whatever he wants because Francis does as he likes

Wouldn't say Carlisle showed heaps forward and The same goes for Hurley. If hooker is kicking snags like he was last year for that small patch that he played forward he'll more likely than not stay forward

Brown only has 3 less goals this year in a vastly inferior side (and yes, I mean that). I would take him every day of the week ahead of Vickery.

 

[The Bomb]

Why do people always want proven crap players?
Vickery is crap.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

But Brown has no intensity at least Vickery plays with some aggression.

Brown is better down back imo.

Hurley kicked a few bags of 5 when he could string a few game together and carlisle tore a few games apart too when healthy, hooker has a worse set shot than daniher he did show a bit up forward but why waste his talents up forward when you have a guaranteed all Australian quality fullback

Brown is better down back imo.

He even took shadow boxing and applied it to footy when the ball is 100m away.

Get out of here, I never want to see Vickery in a Bomber Guernsey.

Fair enough.

 

[RearNaked]

If Hurley stays it should be

Bags-hooker-hartley
Goddard-hurley-dea/tippa/Hibbard

Down back

And

Laverde-daniher-zacka
Francis-belly-fanta

Up forward

Would have one of the best defences in the comp and a more than adequate forward line

 

[The Bomb]

- Hartley -
- Hurley Francis

- Daniher Laverde
- Hooker

Bellchambers, Brown backup

IMO hooker showed more than both upforward but as you said, Hurley and Carlisle did have some good patches playing forward. I think with our desperate need for another key forward, hooker should be playing forward. Hurley(also a former AA FB), Ambrose and Hartley down back are more than good enough. Didn't Pavlich get an AA FB?

 

[RearNaked]

Ok back to non essendon ..

**** calton and **** hawthorn and **** Collingwood and **** the tigers and **** everyone

 

[scanlon]

In the end we've got a heap of versatility with players like Hooker and Francis who can be chucked up forward or down back and dominate. We're in a pretty good position and if we can get another gun key forward, get ready to open that premiership window

I would trust the coaches either way i feel like the look of the team i posted above would be a better performed team but at the end of the day ill be doing cartwheels if we managed to keep hurley and happy to finally have a competitive team
