Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XI

Geelong just bizarrely do not match up well on them.

It's partly coincidence, in that the present scenario is distinct from the Malthouse-era Pies/Hawks/Cats rock-paper-scissors dynamic.

Today's Geelong has a shallow, soft midfield and can be had if you go hard at them and have the talent to pull it off. For all their faults (and in large contribution to some of them) Collingwood have an excellent midfield group, but Buckley also approached the game the right way.

Greenwood sat on (a seemingly injury-restricted) Dangerfield at stoppages and Treloar sacrificed his game to keep him honest around the ground, with Greenwood moving to Selwood. With those two under control the rest were roadkill.

Jesus Greene 3 weeks down to 2. Thought it would be 1 at most.

Clenched fist swinging arm to the head, pretty reasonable.

In a marking contest going to spoil. Careless yes not intentional.

You then have nankervis throwing an elbow back into another players face. Only one result can occur there. Though i think 1 week is fine there that is an intentional act.

I reckon it was intentional...

It was half an hour late to be considered a spoil.

He didn't start swinging until after the ball was marked, I'm happy with intentional

Fair enough. I feel he has paid more from reputation than the incident itself which i have an issue with.

makes a mockery of thompsons week for the hit on damgerfield

Here.

Spoke to my long time Hawks friend yesterday and he doesn't even want to talk about it has a pissed off looked on his face lols. reckons Roughead as captain was a bad choice doesn't think he's captain material would rather Hodge.

Don't think he will be watching many Hawks games this year will be watching the Premier League instead haha.

Haha c'moon, gotta support your team through thick and thin!

Nothing in the Fyfe incident - The bigger concern is Fyfe's form has been inconsistent - He's struggling to spread and relying far too much on
contested ball.

I actually think Nankervis was trying to shrug Mackay off. Mackay held on for quite a while after Nankervis disposed of the ball.

I put it down to another item where a big man can't do anything. They basically can't bump as smaller players heads are at shoulder height, reverse the roles here and Mackay elbows Nankervis in the chest.

I think it deserved a fine at worst, especially when Fyfe gets off for basically the same act.

Judd won a Brownlow for his.

Saw this on Greenfield today...not bad..

Which country is your club.

Adelaide — Singapore: stable, alleged democracy where even a corruption scandal of the highest order can’t dethrone club leaders.

Brisbane — Cuba: plunged into abject poverty by the incompetent Voss dictatorship, the Lions are showing early signs of recovery.

Carlton — Italy: Living beyond its means during the 80s and 90s and forever running two sets of books has given rise to a period of austerity and a bleak outlook for which it only has itself to blame.

Collingwood — Zimbabwe: once a fertile list with a bright future under Mick Malthouse, President McGuire and Lieutenant Buckley staged a coup, returning control of the club to its people… and proceeded to **** it all up for at least a generation to come

Essendon — Russia: clinging to the questionably-obtained relevance it enjoyed in the mid 1980s, it has toiled through sanctions and pharmacological experimental environments to emerge a self-unaware financial basket case with delusions of grandeur

Fremantle — South Africa: just when you think things are starting to improve you’re quickly reminded just how far this club still has to come.

Geelong — Australia: recession proof for more than two decades and performed strongly through the global financial crisis. However recent indicators suggest it’s now a bubble on the verge of bursting

Gold Coast — Greece: fun-loving, sun-soaked holiday destination continually in need of financial bail-outs from its peers.

GWS — China: after a well-planned build-up, appear poised to dominate for the foreseeable future.

Hawthorn — The Vatican: wealthy, powerful and hypocritically alleges family values while always turning a blind eye to its multitude of abhorrent transgressions

Melbourne — France: no real influence in the league since the mid 20th century coupled with a tendency to surrender

North Melbourne — shitty parts of New Zealand: Nothing to see or admire here — pretty much goes unnoticed.

Port Adelaide — Philippines: outspoken President gives league-wide voice to an otherwise regional club.

Richmond — Fiji: beautiful one day, coup the next.

St Kilda — Argentina and/or Brazil: perpetually on the verge of scandal, its unrivalled propensity for booms and busts is only matched by its peerless inability to achieve its potential leaving a vast and loyal supporter base disillusioned.

Sydney — Israel: thrives in enemy territory through a culture of innovation, hard work and close ties with the AFL.

WCE — Colombia: has worked hard to wean itself off the opioid and narcotics dependency that had taken hold of the club during the 90s and 00s.

WB — Canada: polite, multicultural and inoffensive (apart from a recent bogan fan). Impossible to hate… honestly, what have they done to anyone?

The AFL — USA: global enforcer that may have created its own downfall in GWS.

It's a shame, we would have taken advantage of his absence like we did with Gawn and Hogan ROFL

At least the bandwagon at Richmond they turn up win lose or draw. Hawthorn fans disappear faster than the fat reserves full forward when the coach says they're doing a fitness session.

lol.

This was me when I tried to make my illustrious return to footy and first night back the coach said we were doing 10 1 KM time trials.

I started running and pretty much ran straight to the change rooms to get my gear.

If i run a hundred metres I need a rest for the rest of the quarter.

If tried to play I would probably only last 10 mins and then I'm done for the rest of the game lols.
