Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[Lance Uppercut]

Remember when Richmond flogs used to tell us we'd missed out on Dimma?

Have a read of their board tonight

Adelaide is ordinary, very ordinary. There has been discussion earlier about Hawthorn's soft draw ( when in fact they had the toughest draw in 2013. Soft draws = Adelaide. Check their last 3 years. And there next four weeks are GWS,StKilda,Melbourne and the Bulldogs.

Yeah this whole "team first" nonsense being drilled into Riewoldt is pure shite. You've got an arrogant ******** of a full forward who can kick 80 goals a year - let him do that.

Indeed, I liked them better when they were a horrible side but Jack would kick his 70-80 a year.

Now that i know the tigers are going down i've switched 7 on, only to find Baz and Ham getting literally 15 players names wrong in a two minute passage of play.

Jack Mcrae is absolutely special as well btw

Gia, 4 touches for 2 goals as sub, including the sealer. Personally I love how the bulldogs have used him as an impact player to probably further his career, a bit like NLM to good effect here. I'd rather it that way with the young fella who is normally wearing the vest coming off instead.

Yep, without the sub he'd be finished. But can definitely make an impact over a quarter or a half of footy.

well so did a lot of essendon flogs

How good was that shirtfront by May on Zorko? Great hit

 

[baz_machine]

Just shows, any team with a decent setup can go from hopeless to good. It's a much bigger step to go from good to very good / great which lolmond is finding out about.

Serious decisions need to made in the off season or they could very well end up like Cartank in 4 years.

An excellent game by Buddy today. He towelled up a very competent player in Talia. Talia is one I hope the club keeps the eye on.

Dimma seems to be a good development coach but lacks the matchday awareness. Astbury should have been talking to Ellis when he gave away that free.

Sounds very familiar.

How do we know Chocco isn't the one that's the good development coach and Dimma is, well, not good at stuff

Because they made good development regardless whether Choco is there or not

Loving the full on melt down, just be careful of likes people unless you want a holiday.

They've finally realised Houli is the softest player in the competition.

Wow that board is a mess.

Being a team built around two dominant tall forwards, and having neither of them for two years is probably a factor. Admittedly Tippett is permanently gone but Walker is just about the most important player to any team.

 

[eth-dog]

I tell you what, Rischitelli is getting back to his best. Been class all day

Shaun Grigg whimpers as he realised his crown has been taken

efa

Has Macrae received a nomination for Rising Star?

Can't remember if he got one last year, but he isn't eligible this year.

 

[Doss]

I would not be at all devastated if we tried to get Macrae to the club.

Not that the Dogs would let him go (they'd be mad to), because that kid is a gun.

 

[Drummer_19]

So what happened to Reiwoldts media ban? Going to be on the 7 panel for the Coll/Geel game tonight.

Thank **** i've got Fox.

Been damn unlucky Adelaide, losing KPP's in recent years like: Tippett, Gunston, Davis & Bock. A pretty useful goal to goal line KPP wise. Add Walker out to a long term injury. You could also then chuck in the steak knives of Kane Johnson & Tyson Stenglein.

Begs the question on why AFC can't hang on to quality players unlike other non-Vic clubs? They're certainly cashed up with decent facilities.

All clubs need to somehow poach players from Gold Coast and GWS. Watching the suns right now and they will be unstoppable in a couple of years time, they are scary good to watch already.
