Oppo Camp The Non-Essendon Thread VII

[Lord Nicholson]

Geelong have won two premierships in the interim.

They're on top.

As for revenge, I want nothing more than for Jobe to avenge his father's most shameful and painful defeat, and triumph over the Pies in a GF.

 

[BrunoV]

Thank God I was too young to remember it. I don't know how I could live with myself.

The best thing about Collingwood winning in 2010 (other than the fact that Milne didn't get a premiership medallion) is the fact that we aren't the last team to lose to Collingwood in a GF

Tough choice between Milne and Baker. I'd almost go with Baker being the less preferred option.

One of the few times that my father left before the final siren. He was still going down the stairs when he heard the siren.

As for Milne, when you consider that Didak did get one, it's six of one, half dozen of the other as far as I'm concerned.

When we were building our house Keiran Sporn was our site supervisor. After the 2010 GF he said a few of the blokes from the 1990 team that he still keeps in touch with sent a few texts etc saying the exact same thing. It was like an almighty cloke of shame had been taken off them.

I see what you did there.

Every year this is a player (from both sides) where you think to myself, how the f*** did you sneak a premiership medallion in? (Leigh Brown, Mitch Morton, Mark Blake, Stewart Dew out of retirement FFS!!)

2010 was the worst, who would be worse, Leigh Brown or Zac bloody Dawson!!

i can read and what is this

 

[eth-dog]

Hawthorn lol. I know Savage was shit on the weekend but seriously, why would you keep the extra tall? Hurn and Waters will have a field day running the ball out of defence. Horrible move on subi. I think WC have 2 extra runners in their side

 

[Mercurial89]

I tipped hawks just because I don't think they were that bad Monday. But I think I'll be changing that as soon as possible after looking at the teams

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Has there ever been a game where the subs are easier to pick than Sunday's game at Subi?]

Hodge and Dalziell are absolute certainties to get the green vest.

To be fair, Dew thoroughly earned his.

 

[Phone]

most of those guys were pretty solid role players during their teams' success though. it's pretty hard to get too upset about them getting a medallion

Aaron Keating?

 

[Kong]

The most undeserved recipient of a premiership medallion (in my mind), is easily Leon Davis.

Didn't even play in the actual game.

I dont disregard any of them as premiership players, the other way around in fact, but to think that someone like Nathan Buckley is not a premiership player but Leigh Brown is!

 

[eth-dog]

Decent showing by the tigers

 

[BrunoV]

Looking more and more like basketball with its aimless and uncontested movement of the ball between the "keys".

 

[Zach Package]

is riewoldt the league's biggest seagull?

He can fly with the best of them, why not actually fly for marks rather than sulk into the forward pocket and wait for a handball?

As i write this he takes a hanger as well...

 

[Eleven 38]

im a bit worried this no sliding rule is going to end up in a nasty head clash... there was almost one in the first quarter..

THIS! am i the only one who hasnt liked many of the games and how they have looked so far this year?

Jack Package

He stole a Coleman in the final round last year by seagulling it while Pavlich and Hawkins played vital team roles.

He's an awesome player, but **** I've grown to hate him.

I remember like 3 years ago Nahas was running into an open goal and Riewoldt was putting in the hard yards to stay with him, not to shepard but because he wanted a cheeky handball. Nahas didn't give it and got a frightful glare because of it.

Seems like a flog both on and off the field.

It is the bad games that count and the bad game are ******* awful. Contested ball, something crap side could at least hand their hats on is much lower. It is just circle work.
