Oppo Camp The Non-North Football Discussion & AFL Matchday Chat Thread: Edition IV

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Green shoots........but lose again. Crows very happy

Ah well......shite is shite.

A lot of brown in those green shoots.

Speaking of greatest of all time Dane Rampe, his comments to an umpire... "You talk like a little girl."

If it was a North player, there would have been a 6 month investigation including regular anal probes before finding us not guilty but fining us $80k for the hell of it regardless.

 

[The Nostradamus]

It’s fun watching blues lose cos sos the nuffy thought they would rise up the ladder and swapped first picks with crows

Will be great to see them get the wooden spoon and not have the first pick

 

[Billy Not Really]

A lot of the disrespect for umpires comes from the AFL never admitting they sometimes get it horribly wrong.

Only makes their job more difficult when they don't even understand how the game is adjudicated depending on what week it is.

AFL's getting it horribly wrong on a near weekly basis.

 

[Gasometer]

Is the correct Italian pronunciation of that word.

No s**t

 

[Gasometer]

BT said that it can be said either way today on MMM and he also said he doesn’t care how it’s pronounced which confirms the Tv interview I saw him in at the start of the season

It’s Basil being an obnoxious know it all

 

[RobZombie]

With the hard A's they are using, no, it's not, regardless of what Orazio insists.

Of course. English orthography doesn’t make it easy to represent in writing the flat 'a' that all the Romance languages share. And I cbf doing it in IPA.

A song about footballers showing courage, unselfishness and imagination contains good examples of correct pronunciation.

But but but but have you ever Umpired...? If not then blah blah...

Look, I hate * as much as anybody, but this was a clear-cut indisputable free that was missed. Every umpire should have seen that Sydney bloke climbing the post, and there is no excuse for them ignoring it. For the bloke in charge of the AFL to go on the radio and say it's a matter of context, well that's also inexcusable.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Razor Ray you are a dickhead!

 

[DarwinRoo]

Come on Suns!

 

[king rising]

One of the great chokes in any sport, ever from the Suns there

 

[The Nostradamus]

The suns deserve the wooden spoon after that 40 seconds at the end

A draw I can understand to an extent but to be let 7 points through in 40 seconds ffs

 

[muttley45]

Why did Razor Ray call the ball back when the Gold Coast player had already played on (to a clear advantage too) ?

 

[Hojuman]

No-one at Marvel. Shocking crowd.

 

[giantroo]

 

[arden station]

No-one at Marvel. Shocking crowd.

Unfortunately Luke Darcy is there.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Dees have played absolutely awful 2 weeks in a row and somehow won both.

They have West Coast & GWS over the next fortnight, and then Adelaide & Collingwood before the bye, so we'll get a good look at the real Melbourne.

 

[Themanbun]

Heard someone on Triple M crying that the umpires are paying holds for things that "aren't holds, but are just wrapping your arms around your opponent and manipulating and maneuvering his position in the contest" - uh, isn't that the definition of a hold?

 

[Hojuman]

Storm 52 - 6 Eels

Still 20 minutes to play

 

[muttley45]

Storm 52 - 6 Eels

Still 20 minutes to play

Looks like Bellamy's roast worked ok then

 

[darko]

No-one at Marvel. Shocking crowd.

I wonder what BT thinks about it.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Port being shown up as complete hacks.

Another poor loss on our resume.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Port being shown up as complete hacks.

Another poor loss on our resume.

On the other hand, suddenly our win over Adelaide......

 

[Hojuman]

64 - 10 full time.
