Oppo Camp Regular Non Eagles Discussion

[Forward Press]

Swans in serious trouble here.

Maybe they aren't as good as we thought? Still a long way to go but Essendon don't look like the Essendon of the past two decades (drugged up season aside).

 

[Biggie]

Wow Essendon

 

[Ochre]

Are Essendon............ good?

 

[BrotherDodge]

Man, Nik Cox is very impressive.

 

[Cuzz09]

Man, Nik Cox is very impressive.

when i went to port v ess 2 weeks ago he was doing some freakish stuff in the warm ups.

Goals both feet smoothly

 

[Bender_]

Man, Nik Cox is very impressive.

Any idea how tall he is?

 

[BrotherDodge]

Any idea how tall he is?

200cm apparently, but probs still growing.

Edit- Ah, I see what you did there

 

[Truckosaurus]

Swans can get well in this if they start converting even a little better.

 

[Ochre]

Are Essendon............ good?

You're welcome Sydney

 

[Biggie]

Warner is a goer

 

[THE A5]

Alec looked really cooked at the end there. I really hope he doesn't get cut this year and gets another AFL preseason to work on his engine.

He's averaging two goals a game playing 75% TOG, in his second game. I think they'll keep him on

 

[THE A5]

Imagine the media jerk fest if Nik Cox is able to transition into a mid?

 

[Bender_]

Decent run and bounce that.

 

[The Passenger]

I wonder if in 20 years time, running in straight for your set shot will be as foreign to football as kicking a torpedo has become?

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Jobe Watson is such a dumb flog

 

[Bender_]

People (me included) complain about West Coast picking HBF, but take a look at some of Essendon's top picks in Heppell, Parish and McGrath. That's some questionable picks IMO.

 

[DanWCE]

Apparently Stringer is the #1 CBD player to be involved in scores. I'm certain I've worded that about as well as Tom Browne, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Only just switched the game on and saw him run it out of a CBD and pump it forward. Didn't lead to a goal, but has he been doing it all game? Surely if the media are talking about it, the coaches are trying to stop it.

 

[Ochre]

Jobe Watson is such a dumb flog

That's one way to interpretate his commentary

 

[Biggie]

This a decent game

 

[Ishmael_]

I think every teams' supporters bitch that they only pick HBFers, but really, there's a lot of players that can play that position and there's always that hope that they can make it in the guts.

You can also often make it as a HBF if you can't cut it as a midfielder.

 

[Dylan82]

Essendon are going man-on-man through the centre and it has thrown a spanner into Sydney's ball movement from previous weeks.

As a result much of the play has a bit of an old-school feel to it.


Waiting for Hunter to be thrown forward to win the game.

 

[Jootube]

Jobe Watson is such a dumb flog

He keeps using the word "interpretate" like it's actually part of the English language

 

[RookiePick]

Alec. Wery nice!

 

[Balls In]

Fa rken ell Alec Waterman is playing for Essendon why? I had no idea he was playing AFL again. Why the Scum ffs? Looks ripped!
