Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

About bloody time....biggest game of the year and you have to go back the following week??!! Absurd!

Always disliked drawn finals, even more so since 1990 when we were screwed with Pies-Eagles draw.

Forget 5 minutes extra time. Give each team 15 minutes toilet break and a cucumber sandwich, then do the replay then and there... that night. Simples.

Solves the travel logistic issue, and caters to those that want a night grand final.

 

[Pweter]

And a Hawthorn-West Coast replay? Grossly unfair to the interstate team. Drawn grand finals should've been put to bed once the league became a national competition.

Fair point and makes sense based on that

 

[Drummer_19]

Extra time is a good idea, the whole concept of coming back and playing it out again has always been dumb.

 

[DapperDon]

Extra time is fine. Golden point i'm not so sure.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Agreed. Extra time is good but certainly shouldn't be first score after the extra time - must be first goal...

 

[Doss]

Golden point seems too easy.

 

[Drummer_19]

Golden point also dumb.

Imagine a score review looking for a finger bending back slightly

Imagine a score review to see if the ball touched the behind post....

I would have a rule that if a team scores 6 points in a row they win because it'd be a bit stupid if a team scored 7 points in a row and ended up with a bigger score than a team that scored a goal..

When you put it like that, it'd just make sense to have another 5 minutes of extra time until the deadlock is broken. So if it took a whole 15 more minutes of footy on the day to decide the season, then so be it.

Golden point could be interesting. Defenders couldn't rush it so it'd add to the theatre.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Should just keep playing extra time if it's still level after first period extra time. You have to think of the aesthetics of the game, imagine the game ending on a toe tap or punch through for a behind? Boring end.

I was going to say some numpty like vickory would rush a behind


Of course that'd mean Richmond in a grand final so that won't be happening in our lifetime

I'm 33 and it still hasn't!

Is he worse than Vickery?

So Cotchins wife posted a post on social media defending her husband - I suppose you only do this if you CRAVE public attention.

 

[Andronicus]

Jarrod Pickett out for the year.

Terrible news for a really great guy. Champion bloke and really hope he gets over it well.

 

[pepsi]

If it got to golden point stage it would be bloody exciting (as long as essendon wasn't playing in that match, i couldnt handle a tie at both full time and extra time).

She posted something supporting of Trent and to keep going through this difficult patch.

This has of course been twisted into ammunition against Trent. Its the whole Tania thing again. The partners are to be seen not heard. Pathetic conduct by all the commentators.

Golden goal would be good... points don't count

It's obvious that this has not actually helped him at all, it's actually made things worse, and it should have been obvious to her what the outcome was going to be. The general reaction is not a surprise to me, nor should it be to her. I'm not going to argue about whether it's right or wrong, but quite clearly it hasn't helped. She should have known better.

Bingo.
Her effort to 'support' him was more than likely about her desire to be seen to be 'supporting' him. Otherwise why do it in a public space? She could have said those same words to his face and achieved a more positive outcome.

Sometimes emotions get so big that you need an outlet. If shit kickers like us get to scream on social media then she is more within her rights to do so without scorn.

It's ironic that the media say she shouldn't say anything because of backlash are the same media doing the back lashing.

Its the same as the media having a cry all the time about the supplements saga constantly hogging the headlines
