Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[Pevers-Legend]

No, that would require further "penalties" for EFC to fund his salary.

Well we have exposed the underhanded and corrupt dealings of the AFL and ASADA. Surely we have brought the game into disrepute again for something the AFL did?

I don't know if this has been posted, but an update on Neale Daniher's condition. In true Daniher fashion, he's nothing but honest.

It's such a sad, sad thing. It puts footy into perspective as just a game.

I put it in the non-specific general sticky at the top of the page, but it will probably get seen here more.

Terribly sad.

What an awful way to go

 

[threeleggedgoat]

Well I've always thought of Boomer Harvey as an incredibly selfish player, but this just tops it off

Brent Harvey, North Melbourne, has been charged with Misconduct against Liam Picken, Western Bulldogs, during the second quarter of the Round 21 match between North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday August 17, 2014.

Does he not know that by getting himself suspended for what'll probably be a week or two he's seriously jeopardising my supercoach draft preliminary final, and should I make it, grand final?!?! Selfish, selfish, selfish. Can't believe he would do this to me. *



*Disclaimer: I didn't see nor do I care what actually happened. All blame is being dumped on him regardless as this just gives me another reason not to like him.

Can anyone tell me why it has been sensationalised in the paper today? I mean, most on here would've heard about this a year or so ago. Is it just because he is on talking footy (or whatever show it might be) tonight? If so, that's seriously poor reporting (not that I'm surprised).

He did do an interview with Tim Watson that i think 7 are airing tonight, which could be part of it.

That and the whole 'ice bucket challenge' thing that's taking America by storm at the moment

Dirty friggen North players.

Not great, but not as bad as lake's. Should only get 2.

 

[Donakebab]

He'll get 3 weeks and miss us kicking them out of the finals. Dirty stuff.

Well I had no idea about it. I knew he was ill but no details

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Harvey has a 40% loading as a result of the 6 match ban in 2012. So if he gets 250 points give and take, he is getting 3 weeks. Lake had a clean record (neither good or bad) from memory.

 

[Resistor]

Finding someone in the media who isn't a goose is difficult, so you'll have to narrow it down a lot further.

yeah look soz about that

 

[BomberFan355]

That's bad, need Norf to win this week.

 

[monty1104]

Ok, I thought it might've just been a Bigfooty thing, but people at work knew about it too, and I'm talking non essendon supporters.

Melbourne make official application for a priority pick, Emma Quayle obviously agrees.

Who cares?

They'll only waste it.

 

[HirdyLannister]

I feel sorry for the kids that Melbourne draft, instead of a 10 year + career they most likely get the axe after 4 years...

Should use these picks to get some bloody star mature aged players.

Imagine injecting Jack Steven, Tayte Pears and Jeff Garlett into that side.
Would be exponentially better again

Re: Boomer...is anyone else surprised at the amount of air-time (none) given to the ****ing suplex he performed on Picken immediately before the elbow?

The suplex was by a fair margin the more dangerous bit.

What on earth was he thinking?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Melbourne had plenty of high draft picks and waste them it's their recruiting and development that's the problem.

Don't know. Impressive channeling of the brain fade to lose it so comprehensively for the amount of time (and effort) it took to do that.

 

[monty1104]

My SC team is officially shot now. No Harvey, Fyfe, Beams, Kennedy and probably no Pendlebury. Also, no trades.

Bastards.

 

[oddsok]

Same here. Pendles, beams, boomer, lecras and it wouldn't surprise me if suckling and Goddard miss. Chaos!
