Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[Zephyr Effekt]

Lynch kicked 46 goals last year. Puopolo has never broken the 30 mark in his career. On career output it's line ball, on future Lynch shits on Puopolo.

Taylor Adams will be in a world of trouble at the MRP.

Taylor Adams will be in a world of trouble at the MRP.

And so he should be.

What a flog move! 4 times to a downed man.. trying to KO Westhoff, 4hits high 4 weeks +.

Posted last week that last week's loss may haunt Collingwood - Developing teams have to nail those wins - Collingwood have a tough one this week against the Swans - Lost that and the confidence evaporates even against mid-range teams.

Dare I say it, I really enjoyed last night's footy. It's the first non-Essendon game I've really enjoyed watching all year (let's not go into how pleasurable it is to watch EFC atm though).

I'm not sure how it happened either, as earlier this week my passion for football hit an all time low. Maybe recognising rock bottom had been reached means I can now start digging up.

As for Taylor Adams, the best and worst was on display from him that game. Dog act pinning a bloke on his back and keeping him down by kneeing him in the head (and the last one had considerably more force than the others), but then that goal from the boundary with a greasy ball was brilliant.

Such a dog act - Westhoff was completely defenceless. Tried to get him a few times too. w***er.

Westhoff played out the game though. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he got off with a fine/got off altogether.

Collingwood are a perfect example of how you can be made to look really good with a compromised draw. Get your tail up and confidence then fall over when the big boys get a hold of you.

I wonder where we would have been if we got the kick start that they did.

Confidence is a wonderful thing.

West Coast also had a brilliant fixture for the first half of the year. Amazing what winning early does.

If so it'll be another win for the "result that determines the severity of the punishment, not the action itself". By doing this the AFL are advocating sniper acts I reckon.

Except if Sydney is involved

I didn't think I needed to mention that anymore, it's just part of the game. It'd be like saying "Did you see Taylor Adams' goal last night. A goal is worth 6 points don't ya know?"

Hey Tas, what's with Thomas being dropped? Seems like there's other people who are crappier and play in more important positions (ie the midfield) that should be dropped before Thomas

I know it's not AFL, but I've seen this first hand in our local footy comp.

2013, team finishes with 2 wins, finishes in the nether region of division 2.

2014, team relegated to a lower division for grading. Wins all grading games by 60 points +. Team promoted to division 2 for season, with their tails up blitzs the first half of the season and sets up a finals appearance, and ultimately a flag.

2015, promoted to division 1 for grading. Smacked left right and centre in grading - 100+ point losses. Demoted to division 2 for season. Confidence shattered, struggling through the year.

It's bloody amazing what a win or two does for your mental attitude.

Dropped Dumont as well, who's barely gotten out of the sub vest. It's the easy way of "making hard decisions".

Vickery in a spot of bother. Jamo off concussed.

 

[Autobahn]

That was a fair roost from old mate Casboult.

 

[monty1104]

If he goes for that then there's going to be uproar. The actual bump was ok, Jameson just got unlucky that there was a head clash as a result of the "whiplash reaction" of the bump.

That's why Richmond would never be taken seriously struggling to beat Carlton lol.

 

[Andronicus]

Seen a bombers game lately mate?

 

[Doss]

That's why Richmond would never be taken seriously struggling to beat Carlton lol.

I'd take a grinding five goal victory right now, mate.

Jon Barker is good to listen to.

Funnily enough, he is not rated.
