Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Maybe if we finally get the ASADA thing resolved, we could try and poach a few of their players.

To think we lost to that mob earlier in the season...

Players like Watts,Trengrove would go all right in another team.

Watching the Kangaroos is like watching Essendon. Both sides are so similar in their style of play. Strong defence, decent midfield and questionable forward line. Think if we play Kangaroos in the finals it will be 10 goals wins.

Whereas the Hawks and Fremantle game is the opposite - Hawks concede too many points but their kicking forward of centre is so precise it keeps then in games when they are under pressure. As I posted a few weeks ago Fremantle is conceding too many forward 50's and time in the opposition forward line.

I don't want to spoil anyone's day but we this is what we lost to 4 out of the last 5 times.

 

[Tassieboy]

Wont be surprised if a few Melbourne players say "**** this im leaving" after today's performance.

To join their fans in the snow?

 

[Jam123]

What a game! Cmon Freo

 

[yaco55]

Hawks achilles heel all season has been conceding too many scores - Fancy conceding 15 goals to Freo at three quarter time.

Fremantle have figured out how to increase their scoring.

Walters back in has helped too.

 

[JDavey]

Freo proving all the haters that the way they play football isn't boring... good on them! Hodge deserves an acting credit btw.

 

[Beerfish]

Heave Hothawn hehehe.

 

[Zach Package]

Imagine what will happen when Freo unleash the (other) Duffman

 

[Beerfish]

5 straight for the Pav.

This result certainly makes things interesting in the top 4. Should be a great finals series.

Just looking at the ladder and fixture, I can see Port losing their final 2 games (Carlton and Freo) and North winning their final matches (Adelaide and Melbourne). This puts North 5th and Port 6th and an away final in Adelaide for us. That's what I have in my ladder predictor.

Lol, Poppy sizing up Sandilands.

LOL Sandi and Ploppy going at it in the goal square

Reminded me of one of the Collingwood smalls taking on Bellchambers last year.

 

[Eleven 38]

i still think Freo will go defensive in finals...

Add to that they've played all their cards today, Hawks still have a few up their sleeve for September.

Ballantyne didn't play.

It would make no sense for them to 'go defensive' when they've been trying to increase their goal scoring capacity all year.

 

[CakeButcher]

Lol at Sedat! having a sook on Triple M over Mick treating him like the campaigner he is.

Im not saying theyll plan to go defensive, they just will in the heat of battle in finals..

Lol at Sedat! having a sook on Triple M over Mick treating him like the campaigner he is.

He did the same last night after the Adelaide game, and I couldn't believe it! What sort of grown man whines and sooks about the way he's been spoken to on National TV ?!?

If it was bothering him so much, surely he could have a quiet word with Mick?

Man, he must have been pummeled in the school yard. I can just see him being given Milhousian atomic wedgies everyday through high school.

ACL confirmed for Patton.

Disaster, takes the gloss off one of the more remarkable wins i've seen in recent times

 

[Phone]

Just quietly, I wonder if the Patton injury will have any impact on the AFLPA's push to have contract offers negotiated by free-agents during the season guaranteed. It wouldn't have mattered with Patton, but his fate does offer an interesting example, cause I doubt the Dogs are still offering 900K

I Didn't catch the match. Why was it remarkable?

GWS lost Patton, Ward and Phil Davis during the game. Plus the margin. That's what I'm guessing JP meant by it.

 

[Phone]

They lost Patton and Davis by half time, with Ward already struggling with a calf and taken out of the game during the third quarter, and it was only in the third quarter that they really started destroying the Dees
