Oppo Camp The Non-Essendon Thread III

[The Prosecutor]

did you rate his pre match gws rev up?? ....where he YELLED every sixth word with PASSION .. then some quiet whispers before YELLING a word again, was it PROGRAMMED for the cameras? or deadset ?

It would be just him trying to EMPHASISE his MESSAGE to the players, so that they are CLEAR with what NEEDS TO BE DONE.

 

[Kong]

Yeah the SUDDEN yelling of WORDS at random was a BIT strange, but overall I didn't mind it.

As I've said before, he's not as batshit as he seemed to be during his last few years with us; the time off seems to have done him some good.

The shift in role to being more of a pure showman rather than having the millstone of what Essendon-level expectations (especially post 2000) was always going to suit him.

Everyone was banging on about the craziness of the Sheeds/Choco combo though, as though they had forgotten what seeds Williams had sewn at Sheedy's side in the mid-90s. Wanganeen wasn't the only thing we lost to the PAFC, and as far as I can recall Choco's work at Essendon was always spoken of highly by the players (unless my memory's getting foggy).

 

[Kong]

Wanganeen
Cummings
Cockatoo-Collins
Forster-Knight

Think that's right.

And yeah, Hirdy always spoke really highly of Chocco. Even convinced him that Port were going to dismantle Geelong in 2007

Deadset...

 

[GUMBLETRON]

he could be chief media spinner, game promoter and token team revver upper.

Hype man?

Heard Robert Walls on SEN today admit barracking for the bombers as a kid, i was wrapped i don't have to listen to him on saturday night footy anymore, however its going to be hard to stay tuned to SEN when he is on during the year thats for sure!!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Heard Robert Walls on SEN today admit barracking for the bombers as a kid,

HE was one of the Stanton booers!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Didn't read the interview, but apparently Richmond's Major Dude was talking up Hardwick as the next Hafey.

HAR HAR HAR.

Hafey coached 4 flags and narrowly missed out at a few more at the Pies. Besides, there's already been the next Hafey, he went on to coach 4 premierships, but they sure as shit weren't at Richmond.

 

[Kong]

Yeah, Robbo was rightly unimpressed with that.

Just when you thought Richmond were on top of "controlling the message", they compare their coach to one of the all time greats.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Meanwhile Dimma's trying to put the lid back on. Difficult task.

Might manage it tonight.

Hardwick?

Geez I love the Tigers. They never fail to give me a laugh. Have a look at the game day thread on their board. They are already in meltdown. When will they learn not to get sucked in?

 

[Burzum]

Seriously thinking of having a dip on the Tigs for this Thursday.. $2.75 at the moment.

Someone tell me I'm crazy.

You're ****ing crazy.

see.6er

Bachar Houli update - Still not being played in the midfield. Maybe next year

Still handballing into dangerous areas.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Bachar Houli fumble and then shat himself for a simple Carlton goal...priceless.

 

[yaco55]

Can't believe that people seriously gave Richmond a chance against Carlton.

When will people learn that pre-season form means nothing.

And Looks like another year of Houli bashing will continue.

 

[Phone]

Bashing? I prefer to think of it as joking about him




and laughing at him

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Houli folded like a deck chair whenever the heat was on.

I don't know why people flick on this switch sometimes where they convince themselves that NAB cup "form" means something. Completely and utterly sucked in, anyone who tipped the Tiges.

Seriously, when the AFL do the fixture, they actually write it down as

"Carlton d Richmond"

 

[Smyth94]

I wonder if anyone who doesn't rate Kreuzer highly are starting to rethink their stances.

 

[Slattery_20]

Predictable enough. Round 1 rolls around, tigs are ****ed realise the blokes they've pumped up all off season ain't all that when the heat's on.
Every single year.

 

[Tassieboy]

Predictable melt down from their supporters

 

[Kong]

I wonder if anyone who doesn't rate Kreuzer highly are starting to rethink their stances.

His link work was awesome last night.

 

[Howard Moon]

heres my beef.

do they HAVE to show megan gale every time hampson gets the ball? its a little embarassing.

but even worse still, do they HAVE to show eddie betts rolling around in super-slow-mo? those gigantic shorts were flapping and gaping all over the place, nearly brought up my dinner. those things should be illegal.
