Oppo Camp Round 1 - Vs North Melbourne | The Banter Thread

[cash]

Ohh what a rivalry
Please lets not give the tin rattlers a soap box next time.
No banter thread.

They even have a thread over there which starts of bagging essendon for complaining about the umpires and then it turns into a thread for north to complain about the umpiring

Well done Bombres. A good game with periods in which each team had the upper hand.

Look fwd to the return bout.

In the meantime, thanks for the (mainly) good-natured banter.

Good to see there is at least 1 out of the fifty or sixty supporters who can accept being beaten.

Good to see there is at least 1 out of the ten or twenty supporters who can accept being beaten.

Fixed.

But yes, it is nice to see that at least one supporter can just suck it up and accept that they lost, instead of taking their miserly pain out on 19 year olds.

Aren't their young kids supposed to be awesome?

Got the assistance of the umps, and our kicking yips.

How much more help do you need?

Pack up shop, you don't have the talent, gameplan or heart to play finals.

Well done to the Bombres.

In reality much too good for an underwhelming NMFC team.

Judging by recent efforts, neither do Essendon.

Really?

Played finals last year (well, made an appearance to get our asses kicked), despite a tendency to drop games to lesser sides. Thats because unlike North, we do actually have the capacity to beat highly ranked sides.

At first crack this year, we've passed the first test of a lesser side, despite making an effort to lose.

Looking pretty good at the moment.

Well, for a start, we only beat them by a lucky miss after the siren, so where does that put us?

We desperately need a spearhead - Just check the stats and our highest goal scorer kicked 2.

 

[Kong]

That'll just about do it then, I guess.

On to round 2.

Thanks to the North supporters that made the effort to make something of this, and a big thanks for - generally speaking - the respect shown in other threads by most (there are always a few bad eggs).

Whether we do this will be up to our guys again, so in case we don't, thanks for playing.

They were only in it because of a bunch of "lucky misses" by us, so...?
