Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVI

[BrunoV]

That review can’t have possibly identified ‘yes this is the right man but all of his values, tactics, philosophies and beliefs are completely wrong and need to be put in the bin’

Clubs looking to emulate this are chasing a ghost that was kissed on the proverbial.

Yep. You know the common theme at the start of the Geelong and Richmond dynasties?

A rubbish opponent in a GF.

And when was Bomber boning Kent Kingsley's missus? What did the review say about that.

 

[frodos gardener]

It’s nice to not be in the media spotlight today.

Give it a day or two, tops?

 

[windyhill]

Please take him saints, get him off our backs and stop him sooking.

 

[Maddogm]

Please take him saints, get him off our backs and stop him sooking.

Is it him sooking, or nuffies sooking on his behalf?

Fair comment but we are though because we're just as likely to be beaten by those clubs.

Fair comment but we are though because we're just as likely to be beaten by those clubs.

And just as likely to show up and beat the good ones, such are the vibes of the place.

 

[citizen-erased]

never been a season where all 18 are in contention for finals, let alone the flag.

at best it's don't trip during the premiership season (i.e. Carlton) and then it's 2-3 (your opponents in the finals)

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Essendon: no one is going to sack their coach at a more inopportune time than we do, surely

St Kilda: hold my beer.

In all seriousness, that review must be pretty dire if he has been turfed just after signing a 2 year deal. I suppose their new GM of footy did call them irrelevant...

They were getting in before their 150th anniversary, which is next year

4D chess. Well played Saints.

Ross Lyon unbackable

lol so true - I'd hate to be supporting one of those four or five clubs!

Personally I’d like to see Hird coach them.

 

[Zach Package]

Just watched this morning’s presser.

How does Bassat speak exclusively in Steve Waugh circa 2001 sidemouth but everything comes straight out the front of his mouth?

He looks like someone has dubbed over everything he says.

 

[windyhill]

Ratts will be fine, nice parachute payout into a comfortable backroom job ala Truck. Boys club etc etc. They all look after each other in this industry.

 

[Eleven 38]

Given the nickname Bombers, I wouldn't even have any confidence in the club being successful at blowing itself up.

 

[Ati Tude]

Given the nickname Bombers, I wouldn't even have any confidence in the club being successful at blowing itself up.

In fairness, it hasn't been without effort in the past 20 years...

 

[MiguelM]

Will be interesting how long Saint's take to name a new coach.

They are non committal to a process which makes me wonder if they have already got Ross (no process) Lyon. Maybe that is why he didn't go for us.

Remember, he has form in this area after knifing Harvey at Freo.

 

[ghostdog]

Feel sorry for Ratts getting the Truck treatment. And their ups were better than ours and their lows were not as bad. Harsh harsh review. Another case of too late and also too soon as far as I see. They should have waited until mid season next year.

North supporters having a normal one atm because people have dared to call out Saint Sonja as being tone deaf and self pitying re how hard a time its been for her club following the Hawthorn allegations.

Love to see it considering how self-righteous those campaigners are about any misstep by our club.

We just can't stay out of the news....

Is that for real?
