Oppo Camp Regular Non Eagles Discussion

Good to see Waterman doing well. Annoying that it's with Essendon but totally understandable.

 

[Biggie]

Pleased for Waterman, he’s going well

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

That's one way to interpretate his commentary

Love how he doubled down on the interpretate

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.

Heppell has been such a strange player. Was good at 21/22/23, and whilst he's never been poor, he has regressed a little bit each year since than, culminating in missing almost all of 2020 with injury. The only thing I can think of is the drug scandal took a huge mental toll because aside from that there is no reason for him to have played his best footy in his early 20's.

It's like he plateaued very early. He's great at being a chip-scab, and if that's his role then great but I just don't rate him as highly as the Victorian media do.

Terrible non-call on Hickey.

 

[RookiePick]

Essendon not getting much rope. From the maggots

 

[DanWCE]

Umps had much of a say? Free kicks 27 to 15 it said on the box (Swans way)

I think every teams' supporters b*tch 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.

I think it is easier to play in a position behind the ball, than at the coal face or in front.
I reckon you can read the play easier and anticipate a lot better. It’s easier to be reactive to the play than proactive.

We would get murdered if that happened at Optus.

 

[RookiePick]

Damn Papley is amazing around those f50. Stoppages

 

[The Passenger]

Reckon Bombers will jag the winner after Swans throwing it away.

 

[squashface]

Buddy has every right to be filthy if they lose tonight, I’ve seen him burnt by his teammates at least 3 times this quarter when the game is on the line

 

[RookiePick]

Buddy boi

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Of course it was Buddy to finish it off.

 

[Bender_]

Ooooooooo

 

[DanWCE]

Stringer to the centre?

 

[RookiePick]

Hickey on the charge lmao

 

[Spange]

Someone needs to gif that vision of hickey running to the boundary in pursuit

 

[Bender_]

That was deliberate. Soft from the umpires.

 

[DanWCE]

Ooooh boy

 

[Shuestar13]

Commentary is fairly “interesting”

 

[RookiePick]

Cripped the kick for the L

 

[HoneyBadger35]

HICKEY! Hahaha holy *, funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

 

[hudson2006]

Well done Hickey. Got them over the line.
