Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2021

[Partridge]

If anything this year I think kpf quality is a non-issue almost. Move it in quick and even Bruce will look like a serious kpf.

I wouldn't want to live up against them at marvel in a final in their current form

Bruce is a serious key position forward. He's massively hot and cold, and the gap between his worst and best is extraordinary, but he can play.

No better example than last year for Bruce - 17 games, 14 goals with 6 of those goals against North in round 5; only kicked another 6 goals after that match

That's hot & cold form

I'm 99% sure he would be considered a useless hack by most on this forum if he played for us. Fairly or unfairly I'm pretty sure that's the view many would have.

Maybe he's just North Melbourne's kryptonite. Like Jenkins to Alex Rance

Definitely seems the case - 22 goals in 3 games says that North is his bitch

You’d think if the Blues don’t start showing something over the next few years a lot of their players would just start to look elsewhere

Based on other recruits, I would expect this forum would insist he was in our best 22 the minute after he signed the paperwork.

 

[MacStradbroke]

It’s making me ill watching Fog playing well week in week out for the Blues.

 

[Sky]

Zac Williams is the worst number 6 to play for Carlton in the past 20 years

I'll give them a 3rd for Fogarty

 

[Strange Cat]

If it wasn’t for his father I doubt Jack would be on the list

I still can’t believe they give a defender that much money to play in the midfield

Really? He’s been good this quarter, after an improved 12-18 months.

 

[BotsMaster]

This is amateur football.

I think he’s very very average to put it kindly

Wouldn't it be a case of

- prior to signing he's best 22 and worth whatever he costs to sign

- once signed it's suddenly a case of overpaying

- after his first poor game he's a hack and Wells doesn't know what he's doing

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Happy for Fogarty. Getting mid minutes we couldn't offer.

He would be playing ahead of Constable right now

Everyone fit. Constable doesn't play.
So Fogs would be in the same position as last season. shoehorned to the forward pocket or reserves.

Right thing to let him go, and glad for him.

Yeah not arguing that. He deserves to be best 22 somewhere.

Fog killing it for Carlton. Wish we’d kept him.

He always plays well against north -pretty ordinary against rest of the comp. Maybe he will be better at the dogs this year, but he’d want to be.

Same-dopey letting him go.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

+1 for the Fogarty love. Was our most promising young mid - sad to see him at another club but happy to see him playing well.

 

[cats_09]

Same-dopey letting him go.

Who does he play in front of at Geelong though?
