Oppo Camp The Non-North Footy Discussion & Matchday Chat Thread (NNFD&MCT) VIII

[Samsquanch]

i remember the shoulder part.

I still consider it very likely to have been the result of a Neil Balme tactic.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Is Pendles playing?

 

[Passmore]

i remember the shoulder part.

It was the last time he wore long sleeves. Dislocated the shoulder and couldn't get the guernsey off.

We could get done by 100 next week up there

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Yes, was good early but like everyone else shut down.

 

[Marstermind]

Out of curiosity, can Marstermind or anyone else tell me if it’s unusual for premiers to play their first game away and then unfurl the flag in their second game when they are at home? I feel like North did it in 1997 but my memory isn’t great on even my own team (after all this time).

Did the Cats not unfurl the flag last year until Round 6 due to the works on their stadium?

When was the last time the reigning premier was last after their first game the next year?

I think 1997 was the last time both Grand Finalists lost their first game the next year.

 

[Hojuman]

McMullen looks like the Warlord.

 

[Black Diamond]

Daicos not putting his head over the ball.

Will give him an out given the margin and time on the clock.

 

[big_e]

I’d offer Sam Taylor $1.5m a year for eight years.

He’s the best KPD in the league.

Pretty sure he played in the same high school team as Griffin Logue and Zac Fisher.

 

[zoomba23]

Riccardi hardly done a thing. No scores, 2 frees against, something like 4 touches.


Time to load up on him for 3+ goals next week

 

[Passmore]

Collingwood were insipid. Drunk on their own bath water ? Matthews was probably right. Probably should have stopped celebrating last years premiership before last week.

 

[ferball]

That’s kinda the point that makes it nonsense.

It’s practically never paid like that.

It should be.

Perfect match to see where we're at, Vs imo the best in it this year. Which said before this match (not on here).
Cadman looks a player, more than happy with our haul tho.

We got the them drafting for need multiplier. Its a fine line taking best available versus drafting for need, just hope for example we still are not relying on ccj soon to be 2nd banana to larkey.

Footscray went years where the only thing they had that resembled a key fwd was hall.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

We are going to have to be on our A game next week or GWS will walk all over.

The scary thing was how efficient they were inside 50. 53 inside 50’s for 18 goals is ridiculous. Going to be hard to match up on all of Hogan, C Brown, Cadman and Riccardi.

They’ll also have aerial supremacy in the backline with Taylor, Himmelberg and Buckley. It would make sense to play Sellers & CCJ so that we have some more contested marking threat. Zurhaar will be in for a tough night if he ends up being matched up on one of them.

Collingwoods defensive structure was beyond poor. Wasn’t AFL standard. I reckon we would set up better than how they did last night. Jesse Hogan was basically unchecked all evening.

Im not saying that we win, im saying GWS were given too much freedom from a hungover defensive team drinking their own bathwater.

Also, we are probably better off being a little smaller and quicker in the forward line to be completely honest. When on the fast break those intercepting defenders wont have time to fill holes.

But im looking forward to it, it’ll be competitive.

It didn’t look good, Moore and Maynard were pushing up the ground trying to intercept leaving their smalls and Charlie Dean exposed. I thought Dean looked alright considering the complete lack of support.

You’d want to hope our structure is better than that, because I’m pretty confident that we’ll concede more inside 50’s that Collingwood did last night.

Going to be a very big litmus test for our young lads that’s for sure

Our midfield will need to be sharp. LDU and co will need to work, no coasting.

If I summon Marstermind I do not expect him to ask more questions. I want answers, dammit!

, deliberate physical contact with opposition coach on field, Collingwood player, so nothing to see here, right ?

as long as he didn't call anyone a scoundrel or a pinhead or some other 20th century insult, it should be fine

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Reckon Hoyts will show the replay from last night?

It’s a good point

This is actually quite pertinent Mutt's. I'd like SpiderBurton to give me odds on it not getting mentioned anywhere except for the boys only club laughs on the footy shows.
