No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

[theiaofseed]

Has an AFL club ever been up by 100 points at half time?

I'd assume so.

I remember Essendon being up by 92 points at quarter time vs the Gold Coast in 2011.

 

[Dipper]

Norf now 18th on the live ladder LMAO

They'll love that though those pricks, another number 1 pick.

 

[unitedhawk]

It would be so deliciously ironic if the Tigers can beat the Suns and hand the Shinbeggars the wooden spoon and Pick 1 in an even draft, after they 'missed out' on the same fate - and, therefore, Harley Reid - last year.

They will be asking for more priority picks then…

 

[Nugett]

I would love to see Richmond win, to take North to the bottom of the ladder again

 

[Jet_black]

No….. North don’t need another no 1 pick. It will be wasted (again)

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Cats 27-9 frees. What a joke!

 

[grumbleguts]

Haha! West Coast win the second half. Suck Sh!t geelong.

 

[Walshawk]

So, ideally we want the Cats to finish third, so they are more likely to lose their QF and host us @ MCG in week 2 if we our EF.

One of three things needs to happen tomorrow.

• Port win, GWS lose.
• GWS win, Port lose by more than 15ish
• GWS lose, Port lose by 15 or less.

The dream would be an MCG EF v Fremantle into Geelong and then PA away in the PF.

Geelong could be an extremely soft kill for Brisbane, Hawthorn or the Dogs

You would imagine that the AFL bigwigs will be meeting soon to decide if North Melbourne stay in Melbourne.

This cannot continue.

Fold 'em up and send them to Tassie.

PROS:

One less side in Melbourne

Existing transferable fanbase (assuming some 10 - 20% of North Fans follow over) for Tassie games in Melbourne

Pool of AFL (well a few anyway) players to assist inaugural Tassie Squad

Less Draft dilution.

Existing base at Arden St for new team for Melbourne based training.


North are cooked.

As an aside - they apparently approached Fiorini from GCS about a move south - Fiorini told them he would rather be delisted.

North Are Cooked.

North aren't going to Tassie.
Even if it was ever an option it's not now.

 

[Nugett]

Hopefully The Scum wins tonight.

I hate saying that

 

[moginie]

Probably the only team in history to get a standing ovation for finishing last.

 

[gianytee]

just my 2 cents but kangaroos list is so imbalanced it’s just been terrible drafting from them. They have 2 defenders on there list any good in Logue & Archer, no key talls as people loved Comben marking but he couldn’t defend, no key forward helping Larkey if Comben doesn’t develop. And then 2 players that are dangerous as a FWD in Curtis & Zurhaar exc Larkey

This draft is full of mids so you add another mid to Sheezel, Simpkin, Wardlow, LDU, Phillips, Powell and even McKercher is a natural rover so he should be playing mid but can’t as there’s no space just feels like while they get everything sorted 3-4 years away I wouldn’t be surprised if LDU, Logue, Larkey all want out. Even there mature players recruited just aren’t good enough in Fisher, Stephens, Stephenson, Tucker, Corr

Selfishly I hope they implode cause Sheezal has the talent to be the best player in the game.

 

[Holy Rioli]

Sad I’m supporting the bombers but ladder position for us is the goal

 

[TylerDurden]

Cmon Dons you good things.

 

[KermitJagger]

Hate to say it, but I don't reckon Essendon have the guts to play right til the end of the season with nothing on the line. Can see them capitulating in a big way tonight.

Wait... I don't actually hate to say it at all.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Jobe sounds like he's having a stroke

Why does this matter to us? We will be at the G regardless. Either finish 5th or 6th and play at home or 7th and play the Dogs.

Richmond will be worse next few years

They should go north of Melbourne direction wise, perhaps northern territory kangas. But yeah they look like a vfl team

Playing Carlton looks more fun than playing Doggies

If we can finish 5th we would also (projecting forward) miss Sydney at the postage stamp in a prelim.
