Oppo Camp Non-Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2018

Scrimshaw is a spud and lazy, I mean that suits the Hawks but I'd be surprised if he isn't delisted within 3 years.

Alistair will make him cry.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Surprised he's lasted this long tbh.

$cully gone to the Hawks

$cully gone to the Hawks

Something fishy about that trade.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Scully is a risk as that ankle injury is very bad, but if the hawks can get him fit and firing they have made the steal of the trade period IMO.

 

[bulletproof]

Giants got themselves into a bad situation, Scully was probably aware how bad their cap was and said ‘fine, I will move, but only to Hawthorn.’

From there Hawthorn had a very strong bargaining postion and they exploited it ruthlessly. Well done.

Whether I would want Geelong paying Scully a big salary is another matter. We went for Dahlhaus. Bringing in two players like that would have been a mistake.

Happy enough with Luke over Scully. Not much in it.

For a future 4th round pick?? Minimal risk. They do their medical screens very well at Hawthorn. JOM has been worthwhile. Scully is an elite 2way runner as we know; I think they are laughing

Maybe right now as we sit in 2018, but Scully is as elite as a 2-way running mid as there is in the AFL. IF fit, there will be no comparison with Dahlhaus, sadly.

 

[BotsMaster]

If we went after $cully then it would be another case of "injury-prone player joins Geelong"

His ankle injury has been compared to that of a motorbike crash.

No idea it was that bad. Does that mean SavRat's was much better in comparison?

Yep, a pushbike crash only?

 

[Down at K Park]

Well he missed most of the year and has broken down twice while trying to start running. So he has a long way to go.

Sav’s was pretty minor in comparison. As proved by him playing a couple of games already.

 

[Vdubs]

Hawks have a bit of quality
#1.draft pick Scully
#1. mini draft pick O'Meara
#2. draft pick Roughead
#9 McEvoy
#12 Frawley, Burgoyne
Tom Mitchell Brownlow medallist


#2 draft pick Just delisted JO'Rourke

 

[BotsMaster]

I'm sure there's a few here that remember '67

 

[Partridge]

That's plain idiotic then.

How did we let him slip through the net? I'm sure his best football is still ahead of him!

Chad Wingard has joined the Hawks

It's Burgoyne all over again.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

I was reading last night that Kersten may be moved on from Freo. Not sure there would be many takers but he's only been at Freo for what, 2-years? He was serviceable for them last year but it seems it hasn't taken them long to lose faith in him. Good decision by us to move him on.

 

[Max Milburn]

Or Macintosh.

 

[Mr Meow]

Or Macintosh.

A future 4th round pick vs Geelong giving up a second round pick - pick 36 vs something like pick 60? As a gamble that's a no brainer even if his ankle does end up imploding.

What they gave up for JOM is a better example of foolishness.

You could be right, but is it wrong to hope it doesn't work out for them?

It is but everyone needs their guilty pleasures.

I feel for Kersto, I remember those years he was really showing something at VFL level that gave some of us hope he would be a a good AFL player, but he was never able to take it to the next level.
