Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

Both would have been worthy choices. Both will be stars.

Of course, and the close result reflects that, but Carlton supporters are up in arms claim it's a conspiracy against them.

Of course.

West Coast fans lost their shit when Heppell won the RS.

I mean FFS the only person that voted for Shuey as the top pick was Glen Jakovich.

Carlton supporters going into full melt down over Cripps not being awarded the RS.

I don't normally engage in too much meltdown lurking, but good god that is glorious. Yep, either one would be a worthy winner. How can they possibly be THAT outraged given how incredible Hogan's been?

 

[Pweter]

Let's be honest, a Rising Star award is nice. That's it. It means nothing in the bigger scheme of things for your club.

 

[Jade]

My favourite by a country mile.....

who really cares about an individual award

Yeah man team based awards are shit loads more fun....

 

[emblurr]

Hopefully this is the first of disappointing outcomes for Carlton in the off season. The next one being not getting a compensation pick in the first round. Or Carlisle getting traded elsewhere for first round pick.

The best part about that particular meltdown was the insinuation of Vic bias getting Dyson over the line, despite only 3 winners in the last decade (including Hogan today) coming from Victorian clubs. Hilarious!

This gem is probably my favourite...

Gee they are humble winners on the melbourne board, true class.

Sorry for the intrusion. Trying to settle an argument. The Tim Watson jumping goal, the old blokes will remember it, that was in a preseason match wasn't it?

Pretty sure it was an Escort Cup game, which were played during the season as opposed to preseason or post season.

I forgot they played that during the season proper. My mate was adamant it was a home and away match so I'll take the win. Thanks for the reply.

Hope the Tigers take the win over North on the weekend

If Richmond and the Dogs can win this weekend the world will be slightly better. I'm reasonably confident with Richmond at the G, but not so confident about the Dogs.

Yep, living in SA if the Crows win would be nearly unbearable.

 

[Jade]

I really don't like the Dogs and would be happy to see Adelaide knock them over.

I'm glad you're confident mate, being a Richmond supporter I'm not confident at all, sadly. . Good luck next year.

If Adelaide win, let's swap houses for a week. That should change your tune.

You want me to spend a week in Adelaide?

Stuff that, too many Crows fans there....

Cripps just needs to get out of Carlton.

It was the Escort Cup Grand Final. Back in the days when the night comp was a knockout played during the regular season.

There were interstate teams in that comp aswell wasn't there? I still remember the song for the sterling cup. I assume that was later.

Justin Koschitzke.

Justin ****ing Koschitzke won one.

 

[Jade]

Justin Koschitzke.

Justin ******* Koschitzke won one.

I mean, he wasn't a TOTALLY terrible player. I guess.....

Yep, interstate clubs as well. It was a Foxtel Cup of sorts, and the first silverware our club had won since 1965 so it was pretty well appreciated.

I only know this from videos like Tim Watson, Bomber From The Bush and the like, I didn't follow footy closely nor follow Essendon until 1983.
