Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XII

[eth-dog]

Besides Ryder who else do Port have in the ruck?

Billy Frampton will be a player. Hearing really good things out of SA about him.

 

[threeleggedgoat]

With a name like that who even cares if he's rubbish

My take is the Brisbane teams have to pay massive overs to get players who have a connection with Queensland - Have no doubt that the Weller trade was a board decision.

yeah never understood why people dont want to play up there... I get that the 2 clubs are basket cases atm but if I couldn't play for Essendon, living in SE QLD would be my next preference

Melbourne is the heartland though & most players want the full AFL experience I expect.

Fat piece of s**t is still a fat piece of s**t no matter what you wrap it in.

I know Leo has a bit of a dad bod, but no need to body shame him.

The best thing about him playing on is it delays us having to listen to him special commenting every week for a period.

Hodge in a Brisbane jumper is bizarre.

He looks like he’s just rocked up to a footy themed barbecue. I can almost see the so-called ‘tomato and onion’ sausages and tongs he brought with him too.

 

[DapperDon]

.08 in QLD, he'll be stoked

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

lol Carlton

 

[Doss]

Hopefully he then secretly burned it and dumped the ashes in the Murrumbidgee straight afterwards.

 

[Phone]

That doesn't seem so much lol Carlton as good work by the paper

 

[Doss]

Even when it’s not really lol Carlton, it’s lol Carltone.

The Weller trade was made simply because they needed a win from pick 2 and he is a good player who wants to be at the club rather than picking a possible who may not stay. They know what they are getting and even if he does not turn out as good as the eventual number 2 he will still be a good player for them from next season.
I must say at first I though they had stuffed things up but when you stop and look at it they have a proven player who is well on the way to being a top line player coming in. They can find something good with 19 and 41 is a reasonable pick.. The Ablett mess is finished. They had a slashing draft last year in a strong draft. It may not as bad as it seems.

I liked Hodge's commentary. It was informative rather than adjective mash.

He hasn’t been Sevened. Yet.

Yeah well that's just like.. your opinion man.

 

[ant555]

If
you doubted our conspiracy theory on the Cats getting pick No.19 from the AFL as compo for losing Motlop ...

then
we know you'll be coming round to it now ... after that pick itself was actually used to facilitate the Ablett deal, and ultimately end up in the hands of the most worrying club under the AFL's watch.

Seriously ???
I know it was a very strange decision, in fact a very poor decision but Damo best order yourself a foil hat to stop those harmfull AFL rays from destroying what is left of your brain.

Wait until it's gets leaked out how much the AFL are going to pay Tom Lynch to stay up there. No doubt it'll dwarf any Victorian clubs offer.

 

[threeleggedgoat]

Nothing would please me more than if Lynch decided he just really really wanted success over money and ended up refusing to stay and took an offer somewhere else that would probably amount to something like half of what GC/the AFL offered.

Just thinking about how much rage it would cause at AFL house makes me feel all tingly

Father Figure the new Dogs CEO.

 

[Beerfish]

Good fit.
