Oppo Camp 2019 Premiership Salt Mine

LAST WARNING

The mod bashing has got to stop

One more mod bashing post and this thread gets closed permanently.

If you have an issue with a modding decision, where it be here or elsewhere, take it up with that mod or contact site admin.

Mods are unpaid volunteers volunteering their time to keep this place running smoothly. Try to respect that. Yeah, we dont always get things right, but most here are just trying to do whats best for everyone. Its impossible for mods to make everyone happy, and for every decision a mod makes, there is always going to be someone who disagrees.

Mod bashing never solves anything and it is simply disrespectful to those who take the time to volunteer for this place.

You would think the salt mine would be almost empty, but gems like the late 2 pages have been some of the more intense salt I've ever read. I love it. Given this thread has given me so much entertainment, I thought I'd collate some feedback this week amongst AFL people I interacted with..

Carlton Supporters - For the most part, accept the finals as a fizzer as we were simply too dominant, and they accept we are setting up for a Dynasty.
Essendon - Just happy Colonwood choked. We were just "too good".. Genuinely believe they are a premiership threat in 2020.
Norf Supporter (Yes, I know one) - More interested in trade week. Tigers just too good.
Melbourne - Thank God the season is over. Tigers just smashed everyone..
Swans - Hopefully Buddy gets up next season. Tigers on a roll.
Bulldogs - We will be up there to challenge you guys next year.
Hawks - Another Premiership from one of Clarko's understudies. Just too good.
Lions - We will be better for our loss against the best side of the decade.
Saints - We are Miles off, but Tigers are second favorite team. Deserved the flag.
Freo, Crows, Suns, Port, Giants - Didn't meet any of their supporters.

Wet Toast E Girls - Their flag is worth more because we traveled every second week.
Geesook - Tainted flag. Should have played finals at our ground to be fair. Umpires played for Tigers all season.
Colonwood - Too many MCG games. No injuries. Umps won the GF for you...If we had De Goey we would have smashed you in the GF....

So for the most part, only teams that could have challenged us are carrying a massive amount of salt. The exception is Brisbane. I guess they could not complain as we beat them easily, twice at the end of the season and on their Home Ground. E-Girls did get close, but they believe that they should have gone back to back. Colonwood have a short memory as they had a run of 7 MCG games in 2010 (same as us). But I can't find any salt about that fact anywhere. Geesook are off the scale. The entire shanty town is buried under a massive amount of salt. If they had their way, all games should be at the Corio Vellodrome, including all finals. The Norm Smith should be changed to the "Chris Scott" and they should be allowed to pay players like Ablett and Kelly outside the cap, because they are a big club.

Feels like the Grand Final has a fifth quarter after all.

Crows fans are still pretty salty

Crows fans are still pretty salty

At least they’ve got a reason for it since we broke their club

 

[tigs2010]

the spin was perfect for the situation

i really doubt 'ya boy JL' has a equal feel or ability to play the game as Pickett

a side step might have looked satisfactory but Pickett knew what he was doing. What a moment

Why merely do a side step when you can rip out a blind turn.

It's like saying Dusty could have just played for Norph but chose to show off in Grand finals at Richmond.

 

[Tony Harrison]

You see a bloke coming down from morphine, hobbling towards you after abdominal surgery, of course you do a ****ing blind turn.
100% necessary.

 

[Jack5]

Don't get me wrong I absolutely adore the spin.
But on a footy fundamentals level it just wasn't that good. It was slow and it was telegraphed beyond belief. That's why I love it so much.

Bloke was absolutely taking the piss. If only George could of dobbed the goal.

I think your underselling Marlion's move here. There is no more effective a move than a move that is unexpected. He completely misdirected Whitfield with his initial slow turn the the right. The "telegraphing" is the misdirection. It gave him so much space that it made it look unnecessary.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Those inbreds bagging pickett, bitch please they would have him in their side in a heart beat.

 

[Cotcho]

My god there are some properly salty Weagles fans out there. You know it’s kinda fukt when Pies and Tigers fans are banding together on the same MB thread trying to shoot these f***ers down

I've noticed this for about two years now. Not just against the e-girls but against GeeLOL as well.
As feral as the pies fans are, they appear to actually understand the pros and cons of playing as an MCG tenant, the pros and cons of being one of the big Vic clubs etc.
The teaming up has been happening for a while now. Even Eddie seems to be alright these days on most topics.

Whitfield may have recovered quicker from a sidestep, leaving Pickett with less space afterwards. As opposed to the turn which blew lachies mind and momentarily disorientated the defending giant player.

...the guy has been deemed worthy of debuting in a grand final in front of 100000+ people, yet these blokes that (maybe) can barley get to the fridge from the couch have the hide to tell him what he should have done. unbelievable

That blind turn put whitfield off ballance , whitfield thought he had marlon covered just before that
And then whitfield had a wtf just happened moment .

All teams stay in their home state half the season, it’s called home games.

Umps were worth 15 goals for sure

All the sooky whining loser buttholes desperate for relevance and attention remind me of one of my favourite quotes.

"Losers whine about doing their best...winners go home and **** the prom queen."

 

[Muddiemoose]

must of missed the Geelong game where the campaigner went in dry on us

 

[Nostradumbass]

I hope this keeps going until round 1, I can't get enough of it.
