Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[raskolnikov]

I'd love to muster some sympathy for North, but since they have an entire thread dedicated to digging their boots into my football club.

F**k'em

I don't have any sympathy for them but it would have been nice to see Collingwood lose.

 

[windyhill]

Not quite 69 norf,you absolute d/heads.

 

[Dave]

How that was not fifty……

Wish our small forwards were half as good as Bobby Hill.

not me! I wish they were twice as good as him, but I always like to aim high

Up the Giants

Wish our small forwards were half as good as Bobby Hill.

I was thinking the same thing re a key forward who can take a contested grab whilst watching GWS in the next game. If we had a hill type and a hogan/riccardi the dynamics of our attack would be completely changed.

But at the end of the day when we were keen on Hill I recall a number of people here being naysayers because he had only shown a few small signs of the player he has become at that point and wasnt getting much of a go at the Giants. Goes to show not every young guy is a "plug and play" type and we have to show a bit of patience with the Daveys/Caddy/Jones.

Hopefully we can get Stengle to fill the small forward hole in the meantime but dont think theres any ready to go contested mark type key forwards on the market.

McCartney wouldn’t deal.

 

[Nicholas61]

McCartney wouldn’t deal.

To Dodoro or whoever's credit they tried getting Hill and Stengle at the time.

 

[Ati Tude]

Gotta say though, North are the most professional tankers in the league.

Except when the shoulda and missed Harley. Ha ha ha ha

 

[ghostdog]

It's just so absurd how mids like Warner and Heeney have 22 and 21 goals respectively in 13 games. The best player in the comp in Bont has 22 goals in 14 games in an amazing season. Teams are lucky to have one, but two mids capable of hitting the scoreboard like that? Not to mention Gulden himself is also very capable and has 9 goals so far.

Carlton's highest is Cripps with 10 goals in 13. Ours is Merrett with 8. Lipinski has 12, Daicos has 10, Petracca has 14.

Can't compete with that.

I don't think it's too absurd when you consider how hard those guys run and carry from the back, and when their backs deliver by foot, how hard they will have run to get forward and create options. The SCG is tiny. It facilitates them. They kick a lot of goals.

I want to see them on the MCG against a team that spreads quickly and well and is excellent by foot. Geelong ain't what they used to be

 

[ghostdog]

It was Dusty's 300th and Jiath's 50th, Watson is pretty much saying 'f*** Dusty's 300th'.

Oh, of course.
What a classy guy.

Warner kicked 3 goals and Heeney kicked 2.2 in game against Collingwood at the MCG. Heeney kicked 2 against Richmond. Heeney kicked 3 against Hawthorn and Warner kicked 1.

7 of Heeney’s 21 goals came at the MCG. Warner’s a little less with 4 but he went up another level the past 7 weeks than the beginning of the year.

They just have too many avenues to goal to compete

Wow. That is absurd.

 

[faible]

Why do people hate him so much? He’d be our 3rd leading goal kicker. Am I missing something?

We keep getting linked to him, and a number of us do not want.

If it wasn't for the potential trade link I'd probably not think much about him.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

So to go from one of the more accurate games (NM vs COLL) to one of the more inaccurate (GWS vs PA) really shows the duality of footy.

That might've been the wost GWS-PA game ever thus far.

Clarko tanked it by subbing Phillips.

Yeah they ticked it off.

Umpire should've called play on.

Yeah but they didn't and 2 Collingwood players were over the mark.
Collingwood love fest continues

You could equally argue if they'd paid the 50 that Collingwood were hard done by.

Even not calling play on gave North another chance to attack they shouldn't have had.

True but that crap has been dealt to is plenty of times. Collingwood are gifted way to often

What was different about the Moore tackle and the Jones tackle
