Oppo Camp - Non-Eagles Discussion

Who gives a **** about finals anyway So overrated It’s all about the draft these days

Bit disappointed we aren't calling him brizpoon. What about drizpoon?

Frizpoon?

Jizpoon?

 

[Keys]

I ain't defending my club on this one.

It's right up there with extending Natanui for two more years, as an ill advised long contract.

Naitanui should have only been extended for 1 year rather than 2 but that’s hardly comparable to a 6 year deal

There’s also a good chance that due to our salary cap position he was given a back ended 2 year deal to keep pressure off this years cap. McGoverns big contract ends in 2023 plus Hurn and Shuey are likely retirements so there’s likely more space left n 2024

Not really the same thing

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Should have just delisted Naitanui after he failed to back up his back to back AA and Club Champions.

Two ****ing years. ****ing credits in the bank amirite?

Might be in the minority but I kinda don't mind the hipwood signing..

His currency is probably at an all time low since he came off the ACL

Better locking him away now while his longevity in the game is at the front of his mind as opposed to him signing for 2 years tearing it up as he enters the sweat spot of his career then you have to pay overs for him

Could just as easy go the other way though and he takes the foot off the pedal like many players who sign these long term deals seem to do.

 

[06Premiers]

Never understood the hype in the big goof.

Worst contract since Mutimer for $7M.

 

[the harry]

Wonder if he'll manage 40 goals in any of those six seasons?

I find Brisbane's trajectory really hard to predict. Not many teams who have had a sustained finals run get access to the number 1 pick. Senior players are on their last legs but they could bounce back quickly.

Not even close. 2 years isnt a long term deal at all.

Pretty obvious Nic is transitioning into ruck coaching and mentoring. Eagles have a large number of players coming OOC already in 2023 and will have a ton of cap space freeing up. We also dont have an obvious #1 ruck to take over.

In rebuild mode as well and Nic has shown he can come back from injuries and play good football.

And we have a academy named after him.

So not much of a comparison to. Hipwood.

 

[RookiePick]

6 years for Hipwood?

These are GC Suns areas of list management.

LMAO

Not sure he's got a pedal.

40 goals isnt a prerequisite anymore, look at Lobb.
Didnt he just kick 20 or 30 in a career year?

I still don't get the objective of this "play every game in the same city" initiative.

We need another round of football for $$$$ but we need to come up with a gimmick quick smart to pretend it's not just about $$$$ and let's make it in one central location that we can auction off annually to minimise uproar about travel disadvantage

So I can go get drunk on the hill watching multiple games without having to move. What's hard to understand?

Catheter sales are going to go through the roof!

You get that prime back left part of the hill and there's a loo and bar within 10m of you. I want my ashes spread there

 

[darksquare]

Ngl, I'll probably go. Thursday, Friday, double-headers on Sat and Sun, take the bike up to Mt Lofty in the mornings. Sounds good to me.

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't see how this makes the AFL more $$$$ than a regular round of football.

I can see how it benefits NRL, but the AFL doesn't have the same audience issue that League does.

It's an extra round. The gimmick is what was required to get it over the line.

The SA government has paid a lot for it. No one could show up and they'll end up ahead.

 

[Barrybran]

I reckon they'd do better by taking four teams to a fringe destination and playing a Friday night/Saturday arvo or Saturday night/Sunday arvo fixture. Make them decent enough match ups without going full marquee.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

QLD gets a Grand Final
WA gets a Grand Final
SA gets Gather Round

Haha losers.

TV revenue plus selling an additional round of footy.

Yep.

Yep.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

I mean if the AFL was serious about getting money, they’d have an open bidding process for the Grand Final
