Oppo Camp - Non-Eagles Discussion

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

What is this supposed to message to the players? The only thing I can think of is "our ship has sailed".

doh, that was mine

 

[Forward Press]

We of course roasted our team plenty for Round 1, but we barely scrape into top 5 for worst losses last weekend.

Dogs, Brisbane, Freo and Adelaide boards are melting far harder than we are at the moment and for good reason.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Dogs had plenty of opportunities to identify the issues with a plan to rely on Lobb before they signed him. Dude doesn't really want to football.

 

[Natho]

The purple team suck. So do we but

 

[CountryLad]

Glad we didn’t go hard after Jackson. Underwhelming in his first game for the purple and maybe the Dees have got themselves a top 10 pick after all…..

 

[MIKE85]

Way too early to write him or the team off. They’ve got an easy first part of the season, no doubt they’ll go 5-1 and everyone will be talking them up again. Jackson does seem like a bit of a flog though, so happy for him to play for Freo.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I'm surprised they don't play a forward line of Amiss in Tabs spot. That way they have 2 KPF,s in Treacy and Ammis with Fyfe the 3rd tall?

Tabs was only good at one point as he was all they had.

I assumed he was injured but my Freo supporting mate said he was fit and available for selection.

That's woeful selection from Freo. Amiss should be a Best 22 lock this season.

 

[Bender_]

Go that way, very fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

Board could use some more Better Off Dead or One Crazy Summer references.

McAdam sent straight to the tribunal for that bump

Raised a bit of discussion on socials as people debate the bump and whether it was ok given he didn't appear to get Wehr with high contact. Grading indicates high contact

The hit was graded as careless conduct, severe impact and high contact, which means McAdam will face the Tribunal and faces a ban of three matches or more.

Bit of a head scratcher that this is the one to go to tribunal if the Pickett one was so clear cut at 2 weeks.

I reckon the part the AFL don't like is that footage of him firmly planting his feet and setting himself for a big hit. It looks like it's filled with malice, although it probably wasn't.

I’m firmly of the belief that Picketts was worse. Launched himself both feet off the ground, shoulder first at a player who had long since disposed of the ball

Whilst Macadam should have tackled, Wehr at least still had the ball and would have been expecting contact. As you say, the planting of his feet makes it look like a deliberate act but he didn’t leave the ground like Pickett did

That Pickett gets 2 weeks whilst Macadam goes straight to tribunal seems arse about

At least the MRO remains consistently inconsistent

If he didn't clash heads the bump looked fine. I couldn't really tell if their heads collided from the tweet that was circulating. Sweat flew off both blokes noggins at the same time but not sure if it was actual contact or just the force of the collision.

This one has been circulating. Not sure it's McAdams responsibility to have the other bloke not fold in half. Tricky one.

You forgot to account for MRO making the most inconsistent decision possible.

 

[Seadog]

You forgot to account for MRO making the most inconsistent decision possible.

And the respective teams they play for. As we have seen over the years it is much easier for them to make an example of a player from outta town.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Weight differential - Pickett is smaller and thus entitled to be rougher.

 

[Smeg Head]

One plays for a victorian team.... the other makes a nice scapegoat to say they are tough on high hits.

 

[Bender_]

They make a shit call on Pickett's, get lambasted for it, take it out in McAdam. Same old story with the AFL.

From reading the Crows board, apparently the Bulldogs didn’t even fully assess Smith for concussion, whereas GWS did for Wehr. That seems to have impacted in the grading?

Yay for player safety and all that

Probably because they can't tell the difference between Smith concussed and how he is normally

Good effort from a club who has recently had a player come out publicly with their concussion battles, some of which it's suggested directly correlate with club Dr treatment.

 

[Shuestar13]

Yes that’s a fair comment

One would think that a club currently under scrutiny (re: Liam Picken’s lawsuit) would be going over and above in relation to potential concussions, but anyway.

had an interesting game statistically on the weekend. 18 rebound 50s would be close to a record. He had 26 possessions, but somehow 5 were contested and 7 were uncontested

I assume he took most of the kick ins and kicked them outside 50 on most occasions. Port kicked 18 behinds.

Possessions and disposals are 2 different stats so he didn’t receive possession from an uncontested or a contested situation but disposed of it from the kick in.

Its kind of why I miss the old little chip in from the box to play on- you knew at least they had to work for their kicks just that little bit extra, and it kind of inflates the kickers role disposal wise, especially if the opposing team score lots of behinds.
