Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[JayJ20]

Currently tracking worse than Sydney's 205 - 34 win over West Coast last year.

Geelong will kick over 200 points today.

 

[jannissary]

tuned in 2 minutes ago and am genuinely jaw agape at this pathetic effort.

we're shit, but not this shit

 

[JayJ20]

The margin is 100 points at HT. Cameron already has 7 goals. This is absolutely pathetic by West Coast.

Napoli won the Scudetto in a canter in 2022/2023, with 90 points and more than a month to spare, only to have their mad (genius) owner fall out with the coach, resulting in 3 coaches in 2023/2024, 10th place with 53 points, which was 41 points off top spot.

At least with Hawthorn and Collingwood you know that the players lost the rage because it was likely down to legendary partying.

What’s the AFL equivalent of paying 40 million for Romelu Lukaku?

5 year contract for Sam Reid?

 

[Milanista28]

Lol at the club who lost Massimo for nothing, bloke is elite.

 

[mIKe9441]

It's actually crazy how Hawthorn have got their percentage to almost 120% from where they started

 

[Call Me Cake]

Hawthorn's draw has been a gift.

In the last 12 weeks (3 months) the best teams they've played were Geelong and GWS twice, with a win over GWS for a 1-2 record.

Since the start of the season it's been Geelong twice, GWS twice, Sydney and Port for a 1-5 record.

I've always been an advocate that you have to beat you play but seeing people here using that as a reason to label a team a contender is probably the biggest kneejerk reaction I've ever seen. Probably from the same people that were talking about our opportunity for a double chance a month ago.

They're playing norf. And no, he doesn't rank elite in any stats. People always bob up with this dumb take whenever they play a shit team. Were was your post during the GWS or Geelong match?

You can pretend he's no good if you like, you live in your fantasy world, it's ok.

You said he was elite. All I did was bring you down to Earth a bit.

If you want to throw reactionary opinions around that's fair enough but don't go all ad hominem when someone's being realistic. For Mass' sake I hope he develops and becomes less of a defensive liability against the better teams but claiming that he's something that he isn't and being so insistent about it just to use him as a way to pot the club is pretty sad ngl.

 

[Don_Gia]

Players are cooked…been thinking this for a while…I’m not an expert or anything but does anyone else think they have pushed the average footballer’s body to the absolute limit in terms of fitness? Can they actually get any more fitter?

It will become like EPL in the 38 week season where they’re resting players during the year…trusting their “system” rather than the personnel…granted in EPL they have 2-3 other comps to play but maybe squeeze 15-18 elite games out of everyone instead of flogging them for 3-4 months of Preseason, 23 games and finals…would it reduce the number of injuries?

agree, he is a wingman who is poor on the defensive and attacking ends of the ground

We have some of their recruiting guys now helping us

 

[crackers65]

Please, no16 at that shit shirted club should never be named again on this forum. He is dead to us.

 

[jannissary]

People pretending one of the leagues best players u22 this season is no good is nuffy central.

no one said hes no good, hes ok, like his stats suggest, not a superstar. The media have turned him into a superstar and all the sheep come out and follow. Duursma has similar disposal stats, but way better defensive and attacking numbers, dont hear the media calling for duursma to be aa.

Yeah the ones acknowledging he's been very good for a hated rival this year are the sheep.

The ones refusing to admit he's been very good because heaven forbid they admit the club ****ed up are the open minded free thinkers.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Perfect game for him really, flat track against an opposition already thinking of Ibiza.

If you have the players and gameplan to cover the defensive liability he's great.

free thinkers can check the stats for themself and see if they are "elite". He is doing ok, no ones arguing that, he lacks in the defensive and forward half of the ground, not a crime , but thats the facts
