Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Wow unbelievable

 

[Phone]

I know how will our SC teams cope.

 

[Ashton Agar]

That's a real shame. That's just terrible for Christian.

 

[Pweter]

Terrible luck for the kid, and the Dee's for that matter.

 

[Andronicus]

On a happier note, it looks like Malthouse might have to actually perform as a coach this year if he wants to be there beyond this year.

Deflecting his issues away with complaints about Essendon isn't what the Blues board are after.

Moving away from fantasy land though, that's a f***ing disaster

Absolutely. Devastated for him.

 

[DapperJong]

My mate who is a Saints guy TRIED to act like he was sad for him.

And Kruezer is in a moon boot.

4-6 weeks.

 

[doug85]

Kruezer is starting to become a 'what might have been'.

 

[Zach Package]

Anyone else as perplexed by the addition of Jamie McMillan to north's leadership group as I am?

It'd be like us adding Travis Colyer to ours

 

[Beerfish]

Who?

 

[Kakkle]

Really should've traded him at seasons end.

 

[doug85]

Really should've traded him at seasons end.

Did they get offers?

Didn't GWS offer him huge coin a few years ago?

Bet Carlton and Kreuzer regret not taking the cash/trade.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Kreuzer= Gumby mk2

 

[Doss]

Kreuzer= Gumby mk2

Not really. Kreuzer has had a bad run but not anywhere near the same extent of Gumby.

Neale Daniher was another whose bad run with injury cut his career short.
My dad told me he was the best Daniher

He was the best Daniher... in pure talent. TD had better performances though; not purely due to a longer career but more due to the fact that TD got to perform as a mature footballer and therefore had more significant performances at his peak. It was a tragedy we never got to see ND play as a 26-30 year old established star.

Melbourne can't take a trick with high draft picks - Hogan last year and Petracca this year - I always worry when ACL's are non-contact injuries - it indicates a looseness in the knee ligament.

So you would have been worried about a majority of ACLs over the past few years as most have been just turning movement injuries.

 

[Andronicus]

He also had a chance to show what he was like on the field.

Unimpressive considering the wraps he had on him. Another one that bore the burden of being a number 1 pick.

NM's Grima going in for back surgery.

I left out his first name because I'm not sure whether it's Blake or Nathan

Nathan. Blake played between 2004 and 2008.

Yes - I am worried - It indicates loose ligaments - Impact injuries are different kettle of fish - As long as the surgeon does a good repair job.

Nathan has suffered ongoing back issues - Kangaroos may struggle in 2015 - Lots of players still in the modified group - get a spate of injuries early and they may miss the eight.
