No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

Dodoro and Sheedy departing the Bombers. I really hate when good things happen to that club.

I expect the Essendon board is suitably happy. I’m torn. One one hand, basic humanity demands I feel something for my long suffering brethren. On the other hand, “Hawthorn, I hate them more than anything.” The Dons have earned their ridicule.

This is what makes misanthropy fun - I can always find joy in the suffering of the * folk. In terms of their football - these people deserve nothing but misery. If you are having trouble getting into that mindset I'll leave you with this.

AFL showing where their priorities are with threatening to take away funding from grassroots if the gambling laws change.

Disgusting considering there is more than enough funding in the AFL to cover the loss instead of taking it out of grassroots/children's programs.

Absolutely love the notion of gambling being eradicated from the code and all the nasties that go with it, I just wish the code wasn't so perverted by things like this.

Assistant coach of a women's club here.
We get a whole $0 from the afl, and none from our league.
Player rego is over $500 too, so it's not like it's even trickle down to keep the costs low for players.

Most clubs receive the same.
"Grassroots" funding is nothing but auskick, and reduces the costs from $150 to $50

Genuine disgrace.

I lied a bit... the private schools also get a bit of funding to keep the development machine going

Nothing like treating the elite of society well! Can't have poors getting help

The thing is that if the grassroots footy was well funded and free of funding issues I could almost stomach being yelled at 3 times an ad break by that Sportsbet flog. But if that's not happening then the AFL can shove that line of argument.

GAMBLE RESPONSIVELY

Don't get me started on gambling advertising. Sickening

At least booze ads used to be entertaining. Honestly I haven't ever seen a sports gambling ad that has had me not want to throw something hard and sharp into the television. Between any Youi ad and the Sportsbet ads during footy telecasts, and then BT and JB bleating at me - footy on 7 is the closest I will ever come to the feeling of being lobotomised.

The AFL Commission have betrayed the Australian people. They are self-serving, back-slapping cockroaches of the highest order. And that's being kind.

Who has had a better year Sicily or Scrimshaw?

Scrimshaw has had a very good year - but he cannot kick it like Sic. Sic will get in for that kick against Carlton alone.

I reckon Mass is no chance. 1 - he needs to serve his time. 2 - as others have said Essendon fan boys will not allow it

1 - no one has to serve time

It is supposed & should be picked on this years form & this years form only

Everyone has to serve time - unless they play for Geelong. That is how the A selectors work.

our only AA rep. Mass will make the squad of 40. Sicily probably in the squad of 40.

 

[TazHawk15]

Can anyone explain how Essendank get to play against 3 interstate teams in a row in Melbourne?

I mean that is just a ridiculous FIXture.

100% - I hate the conditions people add to form. Body of work, gotta pay your dues, bla bla. We should be past guys getting spots on reputation, Buddy's last AA selection was a bit controversial on its own but being given the captaincy was a real low moment in recent history IMO. Pick for position, pick best form.

Clarko doesn't seem to think so.
We might change his mind next week.

Alastair Clarkson makes his 2024 flag tip and names the hardest player to coach against

The North coach has made his pick.

Stringer is such a liability. Dons will still win this.

Least impressive top-side that I can recall.
