Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[Ati Tude]

So who are we going for in tonight's mid off

Who cares. Score of 70 will win it.

 

[Dave]

Hopper, Prestia and Taranto all injured all at once. Rough for their midfield.

Makes up for the period when they won flags with almost no-one injured......

Saints easily I reckon

Jamarra a big out

 

[DallasCrane316]

Where’s the crowd??

 

[jannissary]

Where’s the crowd??

was about to say that, the behind the goal shot was dire

 

[Yoda_]

poor skills, no tactics just under 12 football under the lid

Spot on, absolutely charmed that mob.

 

[Rick Ross]

They started their autopsy thread at half time and have a thread that started a week ago saying to get rid of Clarko. As dire as we have been at times, we have never been Norf dire.

They do have a ton of talent. If they dont leave, you'd think they have to come good.

Tonne of talent. In the midfield.

Talls not so much.

It’s like they have some weird alternate doppelgänger version of Jackets who also can’t draft /assemble a team based on needs.

Essendon (original and most jacketie) Jackets can’t draft a big bodied midfielder or a small forward with pace and tackle.

North Jacket can’t bring himself to draft a key position player. At either end, but especially down back.

 

[Happyskeret]

Gee I’m glad we kept that little prick goalless.

 

[Blind Turn]

Thank **** that little campaigner didn’t get a goal against us last week.

 

[Blind Turn]

Gee I’m glad we kept that little prick goalless.

Beat me to it but with less expletives

 

[Vindicater]

Dogs will cough this lead up at some point

this dude is so *in stupid man hahaha

The bloke epitomises Hanlon's Razor.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Apparently some train issues. Not surprised.

 

[Rick Ross]

Why did North win that round 24 game vs Gold Coast? It's the most damaging and counterintuitive win I've ever seen.
Now West Coast have Harley Reid who would have been the perfect replacement for JHF. Reid and McKercher would have set them up.

They had already lost 20 games in a row. What's one more? I just don't get it.

Some theories suggest Gold Coast unexpectedly lost it (out tanked Norf).

I think the AFL “Gettable” podcast this week suggests that.

Dropped them down the ladder… made the first rounder they got earlier / worth more late picks / points.

 

[jannissary]

this will turn out to be one of the worst umpired games of the year

 

[Zach Package]

Ross v Bevo

 

[Call Me Cake]

Makes our win last week look even better tbh.

 

[jannissary]

the call has been made, don’t let last week happen again to beveridge

 

[VelvetSledge]

Jeez Saints are shite

 

[andleanback]

Phillipou has been very average this year

 

[Yoda_]

Phillipou has been very average this year

has he still not signed?

 

[Call Me Cake]

Score of 70 will win it.

Guess it's over at HT then

 

[Zach Package]

Quite amazing that Ross would come in and craft a style where their sole win condition is Bonner, NWM and Hill, 3 of the most outside players in the AFL running absolutely hog wild.

Completely anathemic, like a Scotsman who smells good.

 

[wichidi]

Didn’t I hear the words saints and top 4 mentioned together at start of year?… pfft
