Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVI

[TheUnicorn]

What a beautiful day, Carlton lost in a heartbreaking manner, Adelaide also held up their end of the bargain!

Let’s get this L today folks!

Big game from our kids and losing respectfully by 1 point in a cracking game though, Obviously.

Melksham's had some big games against those w***ers.

the problem is both teams were stuffing up, as opposed to the Pies perfect sequence. like, Max Gawn was openly saying he's in the wrong spot, got the ball anyway and kicked it to a three on one which should have sealed the game for Carlton but instead was marked by the one. Then the next time Carlton rebounded, Curnow (or McKay) was able to take the mark basically uncontested on the lead and then hit the other key forward uncontested on the lead too. then carlton had another two 3 on 1 marking contests which somehow fall perfectly the Demons way. They can't really break it down and slam Carlton when Melbourne were so clearly lucky to escape.

Apart from whoever missed that kick to Saad there’s no real single moment to pinpoint but it’s the nature of the media cycle. Instead of proper in depth analysis we basically just have blame culture.

Sound on haha

If Carlton miss finals, they’d have been in the top 8 for every single round of the season except the final round

Would’ve been in the finals from the very first day of the season until the very last afternoon

He's got something a bit special, that's for sure.

I see him more like Petracca through the middle. Like you said, for a big guy the lateral movement is really good. He's doesn’t have speed but he's got the size and power to clear congestion.

He's the reason I think they should be pragmatic with JHF. If Wardlaw is that good it's at least 2 out and out gun mids, to go with the fleet of other first round picks, but they could get in another 1 or 2 players of real significance and not lose a key piece mid rebuild.

2017 is a slow burn, that's for sure.

I wonder where to for Darcy Fogarty from here. His 1 wood, finding the ball forward, marking strongly and kicking accurate with a 55m range is enough to be a player. At least 2 goals from less than 10 possessions.

I cant help but feel that he should be more. He could shed a lot of weight and significantly improve his running.

Fogarty? Have you missed his last 10 weeks. He’s finally broke through, a little more fitness and he’ll be a regular 50 goal a year forward. He’s kicked 30 from 16 games this year, but more importantly kicked big time goals, they haven’t been cheapies.

Sorry we don't do cracking games. How does an ugly slog riddled with skill errors grab you?

They'll have been the first team to enter the 8 and the last team to leave it.

Sounds familiar, so should be sweet

I haven't been watching super closely but it looks like he's torn apart a few final quarters to get the crows over the line

Sound on haha

There should be a fine or something for that kind of cr@p.

That guy does all the shooting stars memes haha.

Hawks are probably trying to tank but you would think moving Sicily onto a hot Tom Lynch is a no brainer. Using Sicily as an intercept defender gives them less .

 

['51 Bewick]

Discussion on fox as to whether Cordy will get 2 weeks for his bump. If he gets rubbed out the game is dead to me. Shoulder to shoulder fair bump but the other bloke hits his head on the ground and suffers concussion. That's ridiculous.

I dont think we're in any disagreement.

Just say he was contesting the ball.

Never say the words bump.

Carlton and Cripps showed how to game the system.

That Hawthorn third quarter was worse defensively than anything we’ve produced this year

J.U.H with the doggies sealer last week.

Could be an interesting off season for the Lions. They really don't look like they have the team/structure/tactics/temperament to go all the way

 

[eth-dog]

Brisbane are being too conservative with their ball movement

Their field kicking has been essendon-esque

 

[eth-dog]

Brisbane need to put Daniher in the ruck. Get a different look for him.

 

[eth-dog]

Also give Cameron and McCarthy 1 or 2 CBA's. Change it up a bit, what's in there now isn't working, get those guys in the game and then send them forward again

 

[Dave]

This is a bloodbath.

 

[Yoda_]

Surely Melbourne become flag favourites again?

or so the media will tell us
