Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XII

[Squeaky]

The umpiring was very unusual tonight. It favoured the team playing against West Coast

Noticed that myself. We can't get a free over there for all of the gold in WA. But Sydney getting favouritism over Eagles in Perth? Wow!
They will tear down that new joint if that keeps up.

Ryder out for 4-6. Port's run in that time:

Sydney
Brisbane
Essendon
Geelong
Norf
West Coast

Huge loss against Sydney, us and Geelong.

Anyone know when the tribunal will make a decision on Adelaide's appeal?

 

[astrowizzle]

I thought I read tomorrow somewhere

The tribunal will sit 5pm tomorrow

Huge loss against Sydney, us and Geelong.

For a team that is really focusing on beating top 8 teams, Ryder will be missed. A good win by Port, but it was more of what they did last year tbh.

The tribunal will sit 5pm tomorrow

Can we stop saying 'the tribunal'.

It's Michael Christian wearing a polyester suit he picked up in Thailand sitting behind an ikea desk

You do realise he's replaced the Match Review Panel, not the Tribunal, right?

 

[Doss]

Yeah besides, he probably picked up the suit in Vietnam, not Thailand.

West Coast is probably the biggest issue for Port purely in terms of ruckmen.
Without Ryder, NicNat is going to be spoon feeding the west coast midfield from the ruck by round 6 when he gets some of his tank back.

Bellchambers will do the same with ours.

 

[Zach Package]

Good thing port still have Lobbe and Trengove to cover

 

[TheGrizz]

Bellchambers will do the same with ours.

I like bellchambers, and he might do well also.

NicNat will worry them more at stoppages though. NicNat clearly has him covered in the pure rucktap ability.

 

[Espe]

Far out, I hope Collingwood play Cox for Anzac Day. His confidence will be absolutely shot now. Bellchambers will murder him.

Well considering Grundy is their #1 ruck...

I snorted with laughter

 

[astrowizzle]

This might sound stupid but how the **** was mason Cox elbow to the face the same classification as that grub Douglass. The system they grade through needs some serious revision.

I remember a few years ago when cramerie playing for us shepherded a player and got him high and scored around 3 weeks

Is the rule 3weeks for contact minus the 2 weeks such chit it was an Essendon player applied

The Adelaide cult thing reminds me of a school excursion I went on many moons ago.

No one knew exactly where we were going except there were murmurs from the year level above that they would 'make us cry'. Turns out we were going to a session at Jim Stynes' Reach foundation in this weird warehouse in Abbotsford, and they did indeed, attempt with some success to make us cry. They spent the better part of 5 hours breaking us down, telling us how shit we were and making us picture our own funeral. Bizarre day.

So that's where the stance came from

Much of the training for the week was physical, but when senior players hopped in a bus and were blindfolded, sources have suggested that no medical professional accompanied them. One player in particular didn’t feel well but no doctors were there to assist. This process made some players — not all — question the club.

oh god i forgot about this ****ing thing.

don't read the article, just appreciate this Danny Frawley quote

“They went to a place in the Gold Coast and they thought they were going there. They had their shorts and they were in a bus and were basically blindfolded for about 24 hours in a bus.

“They were blindfolded and a guy was talking to them. They had food and didn’t know where they were going"
