Oppo Camp Regular Non Eagles Discussion

Coach gone, CEO gone.

Bell starting to place successful "footy" people into the organisation. The worm will turn at Freo but the last 3-4 years of Ross will leave a lasting legacy that could well take until after Fyfe and Walters are retired to overcome.

Richmond fans are seriously deluded. Easiest 2 flags you'll ever be gifted and apparently they were the hardest earned? FMD.

Watching Ed Langdon's highlights video on AFL site - he makes Josh Jenkins look like a player who leads hard up the ground. It's 90% him running in to an open goal after another player has done all the work or the ball has spilled out the back.

Bound By Blue sounds like a BDSM pr0n title.

My personal policy when it comes to Fremantle supporters/posters is dont even bother.
Cant say anything on their board obviously.Anything I say on the main board gets deleted by an insecure trainee mod no matter how unbiased and resonable and I once said something about Fremantle on this Eagles board and I had a Fremantle supporter pop up and give me his opinion.I wont do that again.(sorry chaps )
In real life during the season every time the Eagles had a bad game or an issue I got numerous texts from gloating Fremantles which is just wierd really these days.I dont reply of coarse .If I texted them when they had a loss or an issue I would burn up all my data for the month very quickly.

Anyway regards Fremantle players leaving my own opinion (and I might possibly have Fremantle connections)is that it is residue/afterglow from the Rosich /Lyon era contracts they signed and realising they could a done better.Rosich the accountant who climbed the promotion ladder to club president had a reputation for very tight ass erism.

Cleaning out some old crap, found a paper from October 5, 2016 that had been kept.

Back page - Dee Day: Jesse Hogan spurns WA to recommit to Melbourne.
Inside cover of sport - Rory Lobb spurns WA to recommit to GWS.
Next page - Big article about how the WA teams should sign Marlion Pickett. Also Freo delist De Boer.

Quite an amusing page in hindsight.

I think the real issue is why you kept that. Are you a hoarder? Do we need an intervention?

It’s a fair question. It had some coverage in it that was a big deal for me and my job at the time.

Intervention may be required though when you count up how many old Eagles player badges I still had from when I was younger. Jaymie Graham represent.

I still have a a copy of The West from the day after we won the 1992 flag. The wrap around is in blue and gold (this was in the days when newspapers were fully black and white, so the colour was a big deal). I will hoard this edition forever, come rain, hail or shine.

I remember seeing that at the shops and thinking it was crazy to see a coloured newspaper

May have been 1994

Daily news was 20c and Mum used to ask us to buy it on the way home from school...

Can you post a picture of the wrap around? That sounds awesome

Sure, I'll do it after work today if I get a chance. Also, it was The Sunday Times of course, not The West (small detail).

What's the go with Masin Cox? He is legally blind after an eye poke? That is some terribly bad luck.

I don't think he still is now, after treatment. I thought that was just immediately after the injury. I think he is recovering now and will be fine (not that i read much about it).

Ahh. Good old clickbaity worst australian

The colour doesn't show up very well in my pics unfortunately. It has faded a little over the years too. But here are a series of pages from the Sunday Times and The West...

For the clippings above where you can see a blue border, the actual paper itself is yellow, believe it or not, it just didn't show up in my pics.

Paddy McCartin ruled out of 2020 due to his concussion issues.

Shame to see, was the number 1 pick in 2014 and can't get any career continuity
