Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[TheGreatBarryB]

Why does it need to be open?

To discuss a former player. A bit odd it’s closed

There is only so many ways people can say Essendon ****ed up by letting him go. Same people jumping in every two or three weeks to say the same thing and the odd post deleted when some did not agree and it got personal or a random Hawk dropped in. Not overly surprised the padlock got put on.

How many games did he play for us in the seniors? A bit odd someone so insignificant to our future needs to be harped on about so much in this new Bombers era

Sour grapes, of course there's discussion to be had if he makes the AA squad.

Have it here then.

Have it here then.

Or go discuss him on the Hawthorne board.

Even better.

Giants for mine,
Followed by cats for the story and as another marker for their excellent football program.
I'd like hawks to go on a good run, enjoyable style and would be good reward for good management and coaching.

I almost prematurely liked your post, but then Hawks?

GWS for me, I like seeing teams win the flag when I've never seen them win one.

Mentioning Massimo is becoming like Voldemort

I kinda like stories,
Gws is the biggest as it would be their first and it's my wife's team.
Cats winning another one? They maybe already are but it would further cement their status as one of the most successful clubs in the country.
With the hawks, I've really liked the way they have gone about their build, the way they have gone against the grain in some respects, they play with a style that I like. Mitchell coming in as a coach and excelling straight away, I'd like that to be a good finals run as it would show what's possible with good vision and management, I don't want them to win, but doing some damage? I can support that.

That’s up to posters to decide. If we’re basing repetitive discussion to close threads then there wouldn’t be many threads open. Obviously a bit difficult to discuss on Hawks board.

Not at all. I'm sure they'll love hearing about how Essendon ****ed up. They'll lap that shit up all day.

As a former mod all I can say is that you do not have to clean it up. And you can go as hard as you want here.

you're a bigger person than me when it comes to the Hawks and Sam Mitchell.

Envy, resentment and bad memories of Jobe's medal being given to SM and him miming injections on field invariably surface when I hear people praising their resurrection and good management. Childish I know, but their success this year makes me want to stick my fingers in my ears to block it all out.

GWS on the other hand...

Yep, Sam Mitchell will always be persona non grata.

 

[yodellinhank]

I think it's better just discussed. There's arguments for and against, context to be given. You've provided a lot of that. Blocking off discussion just seems sooky.

Looks like Melbourne will bottom out, rebuild and fly pass us with the exodus that's happening.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Well Melbourne are imploding. I’ve always thought there were quite a few tossers there. Lever, May, Fritsch, McDonald to name just a few.

Awful list on paper and now all their big dogs are either cooked (Clarry), nearly cooked (Gawn) or want out (Kosi, Trac). They’ll be fighting out the spoon with Richmond next year and the players know it hence the floodgates opening…

Are there cliff's notes on what is going on at Melbourne that has caused players to want out?

Either that or he stopped sharing the gear.

I remember wanting Battle instead of Begley back in the day. Another draft shocker...

Did you want him as a defender?
