Oppo Camp General AFL discussion

[jusjoshin]

just in case you missed the sarcasm, he's extracting the urine. MJ copped a lot of flak last season for standing and pointing (at the glaring breaches in our defence). He's playing quite well ATM under Ross.

Just like there is always a DT/SC thread at every club.

 

[yakamoto]

Chingis @ 17, Melbourne is better off with those players you listed gone. Pretty well hacks to a man.

yep. thats was kinda my point of view too.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Thats because we have the fairest players in the land

Fair Players take drugs? Not sure about that.
I got Jonno in my DT, what a bargain.

 

[Sman-21]

damn grammar police
I know its and just cant be stuffed.
Its the internet doesnt matter how its written as long as people can read it an understand it ok.

Just like i will never bother typing its correctly etc


See what i said about Carlton earlier.
Come finals time there gameplan an forwardline will struggle.
Not worried about them come finals time one bit.
They will be good during regular season, where pressure isnt as intense.
As soon as clubs apply finals type intense pressure they struggle.
Essendon put them under that kind of pressure an thats why they lost.

I always find on internet forums - the less people need to try and interpret 'what you meant', and the clearer you can get the message across - the less arguments.

Reading poor grammar is like being poked in the eye over and over. You try ignore it, but it still pisses you off.

 

[Nickos66]

Yeah, what ^this guy said.

I can't keep ignoring it without pulling up on it, it's driving me batshit crazy to the point where I've really taken no notice of what you've just said. Only excuse for speaking like that is if you're 12 and even then - your teachers should be ashamed of themselves. This isn't a text message, people don't take your POV seriously when they can't get through it without tripping over every few words.

Just saying..

Yep, completely agree. I usually just skim over posts like that and ignore them mostly.

 

[13then7]

I stopped reading S-ma-2 posts months ago.

Just could not be bothered getting your name correct, that N is just so far away and do not get me started on typing a 1 directly after the 2.

For the record I am not convinced you knew the difference. Just saying

 

[13then7]

Look out it's the Grammar Police!

2. Further in the same manner.

and then some Informal With considerably more in addition: This project will take all our skill and then some.



Sorry Sman, just thought I would mention it.

I am so glad you did this, I did the same thing a week or two back but nothing changed. I admit, it was not as obvious as your effort.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

I might be a bit one eyed with this, but I'd like to see one of our guys chase down Adam Selwood/Ashton Hams/Scott Selwood and right at the point when they expect contact, our player pulls up and they flop onto the floor.

Hopefully it will embarrass them into stopping it.

Would love to see this. My old man suggested it the other day.

You do see players dummy contact with bumps/punches etc. so why not the odd tackle

Then when they do fall over and look like idiots, we ping them for holding the ball

 

[Sman-21]

Its the bogan coming out in me

I speak on here the same way i do in life.

"Tell Brett an Em to come round next saturday for beers an footy, we gonna smash gold coast".

I guess we really are becoming an endangered species

Always annoyed me that Proud bogan used such perfect grammar all the time.
Its an absolute disgrace to see a bogan talk like that.

In future i will try and put that D where it belongs

Back on topic

As long as we aproach this game with the right intensity and apply lots of pressure to Carlton mids, we should win.
Hope its not a wet and miserable day.

 

[Arcassius]

It's weird - I'm confident about winning the game *if* the boys show up. They get off to an early break, maintain pressure and hardness at the contest and I'm confident. They show up and do a Brisbane or Sydney and we'll lose

I reckon we just go the tackle really hard. A bit like the tackle that took carazzos shoulder. Hit them real hard, if they duck, they are going to get hurt. Bugger the free kick.

 

[Arcassius]

^ i understand tackling hard and playing hard. what does ducking have to do with it?

Have you not watched the West Coast Ducks this season?

 

[Arcassius]

My apologies - I was stuck on the Carlton discussion Carry on

 

[Clay Davis]

I watched the last half of yesterday's match, and while Collingwood won and led in all the key stats, it was pretty unimpressive from them. The team element of their play is gone and they rely on a few stars to get the job done.

 

[Arcassius]

They are looking very very beatable - I'm looking forward to this Friday to see how we're tracking
