Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XV

The interesting part for me is to what degree Lyon just blows it up because the majority of them just refuse to defend.

Could well stuff off 5 or 6 senior players in an effort to create something that’s actually sustainable. And it may well be the reason why Betts saw the writing on the wall and pulled the pin when up until this point every indication we had was that he was looking at going again.

No free ride under Ross the boss.

Carltons about to realise their list ain't that good. They'll play finals, maybe even get to the 2nd week.

They won't win a flag.

They make at least a prelim in the next two years if Lyon goes there.

He took the job that was offered and did it because the Saints negotiations where stalling. I know I am going to not turn down a job I want and been offered just because they have not told the person in it he is going to be sacked. Lyon has not danced on anyone's grave. The clubs have made the situations what they are.

Bingo. It was pure stupidity from the Saints to treat a coach who achieved as much as he had and was clearly loved by players that counted. Every right to talk to Freo.

Carlton stuffed up when they fell for the old caretaker having short term success trick. Teague was not the best man just simply guy in right place at rhe time as Rhys Shaw was. Admittedly Blues have let this drag on way too long but can perfectly understand their of Clarkson or Lyon …two best available. If I was a Pies fan I’d be asking questions of why Pies haven’t appeared to do the same.

Cerra out for Freo.

Sirengate the last time these 2 played in Tassie, what's in store today...

Did a time keeping error, which apparently added an extra 24 seconds to the match, cost the Dogs?

Given the ride they've got for pretty much my entire life I can live with that.

Seeing as how the point that put them into the top happened with about 15 seconds to go, one could argue it did. Glad we weren't on the end of that.

Yeah, it'd be much better to have someone climb a goalpost

They make at least a prelim in the next two years if Lyon goes there.

They certainly make finals.

 

[rumply]

Good start.

 

[raskolnikov]

St. Kilda in front. Blow the siren!

Travs matured a lot and actually been pretty good lately.

Honestly I haven’t seen him play all that much at Freo but he would’ve had to improve out of this world to warrant playing AFL. He was gifted 87 games at Essendon.

He is definitely cleaner and more poised. Seems to make decent decisions with ball in hand now.

We can’t miss !!

It would be a travesty if Freo made finals instead of us if the standard of this game is anything to go by.

Freo right in this game (unfortunately).

Only accurate kicking keeping the saints in front.

Edit
4.0 to 2.4
5.0 to 2.4

Bad kicking is bad football.

 

[Fridge16]

Around the last time we played finals we would have been offering the Saints players a free keg for Mad Monday if they win this.

Expect to see Sheedy at Dan Murphy's today.

 

[boncer34]

I'd take that action.

 

[boncer34]

Be over by 1pm

Lore I was close.

Rounding.
