Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVI

So, we send him an application form?

Only if they won. Behind a paywall, so I'll never know.

Edit: Nevermind, after leading 13-10 at 3 qtr time, they lost 16-35.

Put his application straight into the shredder with Lyons!

 

[Nifft]

So, we send him an application form?

At least his interview would be entertaining:

"How do you propose to add some toughness to the players Libba?"

"Well we need to teach the players about the lost art of the squirrel grip. Wallsy, step over here and I'll demonstrate to the others on the panel on what I'm talking about..."

 

[Albertross]

Happy to hear this!

I'm okay with Berry getting off.

Don't know what precedent there is but Oliver has his forearm across Berry's face and neck and has his whole weight on Berry.

Whether Berry's was a reflex action, which it probably was, or intentional I dont care.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

I'm ok with the Berry decision.

If the AFL wasn't such a joke competition you'd suspend Oliver for 2 weeks. Can't have your elbow on someones head on the ground.

Should be a week for wrestling.

Just clean up all this crap and focus on the real skills of the sport.

Pretty simple.

 

[citizen-erased]

Have to disagree on the berry incident.

It was an unnatural action to call it accidental or a reflex. It was a clear gouging attempt to get oliver off him.

A new precedent set i guess.

He was the AFL website’s best beat reporter for about ten years before channel 7 picked him up.

A real ambulance chaser though and players seem to find him quite annoying.

Will say one thing though, he doesn’t tend to make things up, he has good sources.

Thanks Lore

The first thing 7 did to him was give him a haircut

Make him look more like Tom Browne?

Intriguing. So he's not allowed to poach players, staff or sponsors from Hawthorn until after he's paid out by Hawthorn in November

Hawthorn’s contractual warning to Clarkson

Hawthorn have cautioned Alastair Clarkson about not violating his contractual obligations to the Hawks - under which he is still owed $450,000 - before the four-time premiership coach officially takes over at North Melbourne.

By which point you would imagine Hawthorn will have everyone locked away for next year I reckon

Or third parties that are neither North or Hawthorn

What if the hawks want to trade titch, and North want titch?

Also, what self respecting sponsor moves from hawthorn to north cos clarkson.

The face of the pitch for tassie lands at the club the afl would send there in a heartbeat.....does this sound like stability?
Unless tasmania is said sponsor i guess

Article says it doesn’t preclude hawthorn from trading with north, but Clarkson can’t be an active participant in poaching the Hawks stuff or he loses his pay out

 

[Albertross]

Almost forgot that there are important PF matches to be played this weekend with all of the hoo-hah that is the Essendon coaching process. Who is playing again?

North’s poaching of all the class of Hawthorn will be driven by one Alistair Sonclark.

Side stories.

Clever by Guthrie, Danger on .

 

[boncer34]

This is gonna get ugly.

‘How do they keep doing it Jim?’

 

[andleanback]

I know it’s early but the lions forward line looked a lot better the past 2 weeks with only 2 forwards. I don’t think they win the games without the forced changes.

I feel really bad for Joe Daniher
