Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion Thread

[SpaceClef]

Their list of draft pick f**k ups is endless, I just went with the first one that came to mind, just happened to be a dual premiership/norm smith medalist, 300 game player, but I'm sure whoever they chose was well worth it

We could do this with any side, and it's a pretty dumb exercise but here are some cherry-picked players taken the pick after Fremantle's over the past few years.

Matthew Primus (Clive)
Paul Licuria (Jay Burton)
Brent Montgomery (Mathew Clucas)
Nick Davis (Daniel Schell)
Corey Enright (Adam Butler)
Amon Buchanan (Dion Woods)
Graham Johncock (Scott Thornton)
Nick Malceski (Brett Doswell)
Beau Waters (Ryley Dunn)
Shaun Higgins (Marcus Drum)
Andrew Swallow (Robert Warnock)
Kurt Tippet (Clayton Collard)
Lindsay Thomas (Brock O'Brien)
Lachie Henderson (Rhys Palmer)
Alex Fasolo (Viv Michie)
Brodie Grundy (Josh Simpson)

The gaps have become less relevant as time has gone on, as their recruiting has improved.

haha so glad we never picked that choking drama queen. Cant believe he had his grandma pay to get a wing named after him.

There ought to be a space boundary side of the behind post at the MCG named after him. He kicked many a ball there in the '13 GF

The AFL website did do that with Melbourne after last year's draft.

 

[Public Enemy No1]

And Ballantyne.

[mattyc75]

GWS going well against a makeshift essendon

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Haha what?

Haha what?

His grandma won lotto and donated money to peel on the condition they named a wing after him. Apparently.

It's either Chinese whispers or someones having a lend of Tony Shaw. His comments regarding Hayden Ballantyne having a wing named after him at Rushton Park are bollocks.

He said that Hayden's grandmother won lotto and purchased the wing for him from the club which is total garbage. Hayden's grandmother did actually win lotto and left him with $1m from her estate when she passed away. Ballas then donated $100,000 to the then financially struggling Peel Thunder Football Club.

After Hayden won the Sandover Medal in 2008 the club then decided to name a wing after him in April 2009.

Theres a wing named after someone at Subi too isn't there?

 

[Milenko]

That sounds a lot more plausible!

look kids another freo filth obsessed by the Eagles.

Dal premiership player. Something you will never understand twit

Ballas donating 100k to the struggling Peel footy club that helped him make it to the AFL. Fantastic from a family man, solid law abiding citizen and just an all-round good bloke.

Off field yes, on field he is a world class campaigner

 

[Suma Magic]

Donating 100k to Peel is crazy generous. Good on him.

 

[new breed]

Didn't see the Fremantle game but the Carlton / Collingwood game was good . Carlton through Yarran , Judd were pretty good , the first home game of the season will or should be a ripper.

 

[Small Moves]

Cousins arrested again at the Swanbourne barracks, sent to the mental ward at Sir Charles Gardiner. The guy needs some serious help.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Make him midfield coach, he obviously has pace

 

[lmach]

And Ballantyne.

Dodged a bullet there!

 

[masai]

Dodged a bullet there!

A swift bullet.

 

[SpaceClef]

The AFL website did do that with Melbourne after last year's draft.

That was just players taken any time after Melbourne's picks. In some cases it was so far after that multiple teams passed on the player in question, so it was pretty dumb.

My list was for players taken straight after Freo's pick. The very next pick. It's actually a pretty hefty list.

 

[Dark Sharks]

A swift bullet.

I just choked on a Pitt. A JAYDEN Pitt

 

[SpaceClef]

Will do anything for a hit too.

 

[ep2018]

You cant really berate them for Pitt surely. He had heart problems and couldn't play anymore.

But they needed Jack Darling more than a super skinny flanker.
