Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XII

[Lord Nicholson]

I still remember him demanding a 1st round pick for Josh Toy, who had:

1) Been told he was no longer required (public record)
2) Achieved nothing as an AFL player
3) a serious health concern

His conduct during trade weeks are as bad as I can remember.

To say nothing of the Josh Caddy farce.

Plugger is doing a 120km competition bike ride next Sunday, while next year he will make a double crossing of the Simpson Desert on motorbike.

 

[DapperJong]

Plugger looks weird but he's healthy af

 

[Doss]

Plugger looks weird but he's healthy af

Yeah fair enough, very glad to hear. That gaunt-looking face did make me wonder but if it's legitimately just because he's whipped himself that much into shape, then all power to him.

He'd be about three stone under his best playing weight I reckon!

He is the Ghost of Prelims Past

He is the Ghost of Prelims Past

Speaking of which, Robbo's choice of match on foxfooty late last night was the 96 prelim.
WTF?

Maybe he was drinking so much he forgot the ending? I know I've tried to several times

A pint for every Essendon goal is my guess.

 

[Bomberbuzz1]

Is Robbo releasing his top 50 tonight? How many Essendon players? 4-5?

 

[Coldacre]

great game of footy on Fox 504 right now

The prelim on later tonight is worse.

Steven Motlop is about the most bog average footballer you will ever encounter.

Rockliff is probably on north of 800k a year...

Why the * would anyone think Port are doing well this off-season?

 

[Doss]

I don't think Motlop is a particularly good player by any stretch, but carn...

 

[Jade]

I don't think Motlop is a particularly good player by any stretch, but carn...

So if he's not particularly good, and he's not particularly bad, would that make him, dare I say it...

...average?

 

[Doss]

Yeah that's not the spirit you said it in though.

 

[Jade]

If you don't start using the quote function I swear to god I'm going to shoot your ******* cat.

 

[Doss]

That's cool. I don't have a cat.

 

['51 Bewick]

I think he means your digital cat

Kane Cornes ran a 2.35 at the Melbourne Marathon today.

That is an awesome run.

 

[Phone]

his hot takes must act as fuel

Mayne's final shot is among the most terrifying seconds of football I can recall

Also noticed for the first time that as Hird walks onto the ground afterwards he fires a terse "What's that?" presumably towards the Freo camp.

 

[Howard Moon]

There was a point in time - across the epic haw v gee era finals...

when I rated Motlop greater than Rioli

I understand im in the minority - and things have changed since, but he was a deadily player for a time

I heard Scott Lucas on the weekend say the umpiring department used to schedule young, inexperienced or learning umpires to every Gold coast game, because they are far easier to umpire...

What an indictment on a club!

Saying there is so little contested play in your games that its easier to adjudicate

Relative lack of crowd intimidation would be another factor too, I'd imagine.

He wasn't that good, but he was bloody good. I remember thinking he could be the best motlop, and absolutely ruing the prismall trade as we desperately needed a motlop type.

 

[Doss]

He probably will still end up the best Motlop. May already be the best.
