Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVI

[TheGrizz]

I thought about it but figured I'd just get a suspension
They got itchy trigger fingers over there.

Marshall is a beanpole who plays quite tough.
Why can't our beanpoles do this,?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I find this hyper focus on Finlayson and Kelly a bit distateful. They are essentially content farming a terminal cancer diagnosis as a story line.

 

[Gabe251]

Wish we got Narkle.

 

[citizen-erased]

Side note.
Narkles locks are glorious

It's a bit shit and hame really seems to focus on it

We’ll end Ports win streak after the bye. Take it to the bank.

Port looked incredible tonight.

The Waterboy bit!

Someone post this on the Carlton board.

It's on the main board in the Carlton no man's land thread.

The Waterboy bit!

It just fit so beautifully

 

[fairbump_playon]

Truly vicious. My wife is non footy.. she watched it with me and just could understand why I was laughing so much. **** Carlton

Port’s strategy of drafting thick, multi position utilities that can all mark it and kick the thing an absolute country mile at speed is starting to bear nice fruit.

Makes for great watching to be honest, far better than the Richmond archetype of repeat sprint short people that play like they don’t have opposable thumbs and will probably kick the ball somewhere.

Agree. They are good to watch. I guess the query will be whether that style of football will hold up under more pressure from a Pies or Dees. Cats a couple of gears off their normal selves this year (not that I think we will beat them).

Nice to see Narkle get a game for Port so quick too. Fair effort to break into that side really. Wouldn't have minded him but prefer the Hunter from what I have seen.

Can’t wait to play them at the g. Will really show us where we are at.

We do have some history ending winning streaks. St Kilda in 2009 and Geelong in 2011. Both we had to hang on for dear life after getting out to big leads.

i vividly remember that 2009 game, one of the first i was able to go to where we didn’t lose, a special ****ing game.

one of my favourite along with the 2009 anzac day

Has taken him 5 years.

Pretty much my ideal style of list build. Spend very little top end draft resources on KPD. Stack mid/forwards with size and mobility.

 

[citizen-erased]

Id say 3 to build into his career, but he's been contributing solidly for the last 2 and a half.

Blight highlights bizarre contradiction in AFL hierachy

“So what should the AFL do about it? What should the umpire department do about it?”

www.sen.com.au

but seldom offers interviews, meaning fans have a hard time putting a face

Typical media, doing everything they can to portray themselves as the representatives of the fans.

After a positive start they destroyed us in the second and third quarters when we played them. Lucky they were inaccurate it was pure domination. Are they a very quick team? as none of our players were getting separation. Nic had a shadow all day (they recognised his elite disposal and I think Merritt was suspended).

Merritt definitely played that day. He missed the Collingwood game.

We did lose Ridley half way through the match (against Port) with that Rioli hit.
