Oppo Camp Regular Non Eagles Discussion V2

[Bender_]

Still feels wierd melbourne got their act together and won one.

Will be keen to see if they are the next jugganaut like the tigers, or a flash in the pan/complacent like the eagles

Definitely. I'm interested in the case of the latter as I'd prefer to not see tanking pay off, don't want to see Carlton dominating in the future either.

The stars have to align for a team to win a flag, will see if the Demons got lucky - but couldn't ask for more from Gawn, Petracca and Oliver - all did their best. Hope they s**t their jox for their next 10 years though.

Melbournes chances will be determined by their forward line. A lot eagles 2005/06 about them. Dominant midfield, very good defence but thin up forward.

relying a lot on Bailey fritsch, Ben Brown

Pickett is in his third year now too, hopefully he takes it up a notch

The new Cyril Rioli, just makes things happen

 

[FKASC]

They also got Van Rooyen in the draft and have Weideman in reserves who’s a bit of a spud but shows flashes

JVR is 3 years away from making any impact at afl level imo and it's not set whether he will be forward or back. They may see him as a replacement for Steven May or as a forward.

I forgot just how well Symonds ****ed that bloke up. An underrated player who unfortunately for Australia didn't get the most out of his talent. A large part of that can be put on CA mind you as well as Symonds off field conduct.

It's hard to be a professional sportsman if you have a drinking problem.

Never stopped Boony mate.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Never stopped Boony mate.

Boony played before it became properly professional.

Also he didn't have a problem per se, he drank a lot but it was more like fueling the engine for him.

Its not a problem if you are awesome at it

I'd suggest Warney sunk as much piss as Symonds as well, Probably Haydos too.

 

[Chris_6678]

GWS with 3 captains lol

Kelly, Coniglio, Greene.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Worked for Sydney in 05. Coniglio is better off without the captaincy in my opinion but he obviously still wants it.

 

[squashface]

Should’ve gone with just Kelly imo.

Coniglio doesn’t cope with it and giving captaincy to someone currently suspended for making contact with an umpire plus isn’t very far away from
being deregistered from too many suspensions isn’t the greatest look.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Yeah but Warney and Haydo's were transcendent players who didn't let the partying impact on their performance too much.

Turning up to a game so pissed you couldn't play is not something that anyone can afford to do.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Uh, missed that part in Warney's book where he was up partying all night halfway through a Test, had to go out to bat in the morning and made a duck?


...and then complained that they only lost the Test because Waugh didn't give him the ball when he had more runs to defend...

...and then complained that they only lost the Test because Waugh didn't give him the ball when he had more runs to defend...

Uh, didn't read Warney's book.

But did you miss the part where I sad " were transcendent players who didn't let the partying impact on their performance too much."

When you're an all time great you get away with things a bit more.

Imagine how good he'd have been if he wasn't regularly on the piss and out cheating on his wife on tour.

Did Symonds do anything other than miss a few training sessions?

Missed a game due to being drunk.
