Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[Yoda_]

You just know that Hawthorn supporters will be so gracious in victory as well. With grace and humility they continue to laugh at us in the rear view mirror

 

[Mootsy]

look at them hawks

 

[Vindicater]

You cannot convince that Sam Mitchell did not go to a cross roads on a country road and sell his soul to make the Hawks this good.

They are flying and it is sickening.

 

[Milanista28]

Win center clearances and the dogs can score quick. Come on!

 

[Beerfish]

Great kick mass!

 

[Yoda_]

Imagine if Naughton was in defence

So Hawthorn doing a three peat, bottoming out, then winning a final again, all done with 10 years to spare of our finals drought.

The doggies players stopping and throwing their hands up expecting free kicks is pretty funny.
I'm sure they may have been paid at stages throughout the year, but it ain't happening tonight.

Hawthorne just willing to attack the ball harder and run more. Will be interesting to see how it stands up to a few weeks against top-4 teams, but it's certainly a game plan that keeps you competitive against most of the comp

 

[katana]

We had one but let him go to the Hawks.

Someone should be sacked over that!

if massimo was still on our list he'd have spend most of the year in the twos.

**** them

 

[Mootsy]

gee whiz, wacko, well wowee huh..

 

[rumply]

Not crazy when opposition clubs gift them AA quality players for peanuts.

Certainly doesn't help the cause.

Wouldnl have been chipping the ball to McGrath so we get some 'run'

 

[GandalfTheDon]

Lol just a further indictment on how ****ing poorly our club is run. Hawks do a threepeat, bottom out, then look like genuine challengers all during a time we haven't won a final (and then some).

What a ****ing clown club we are

 

[rumply]

The worst part is Hawthorn will probably beat Port next week if they win today. Lift Dogs!

Yeah not much probably about it, they will spank those ****ing pretenders.

 

[JayJ20]

I hope Scott and the players are watching this week. The modern game relies less on dominating possession/stoppages and more on clean disposals, efficiency and punishing turnovers.

Basically a good back 6 with a player like Sicily, a good transition game, hard running and an efficient forward line is the way.

Dogs, Carlton, Port and Brisbane play an outdated gamestyle. They rely heavily on dominating stoppages, contested football and slowing the game down to win.

Collingwood last year, Sydney, GWS, Geelong and Hawthorn play the brand of football that works in this era of football. Hard running, intercepting, burning teams on transition and a fleet of small/medium forwards to crumb goal after goal. Fremantle will be on this list next year with Bolton.

 

[jdstorm]

It’s pretty cathartic to see the dogs getting destroyed by a SF in a final off the back of very one sided refereeing.

 

[Nicholas61]

Crazy they have got to this level so quick while we continue to do whatever it is we are doing, spew.gif.

Clarity. I don't think their hierarchy have any confusion on the type of player to take the club forward. Then they are very clear on how they want them to play and now the confidence is shining.

 

[DERO]

jai Newcombe needs James Hird hair

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Cats and Hawks back again. Amazing how pace and good kickers make such a difference. Look at their recruiting for this season..Meek, Ginnivan, Mass. Terrific youngsters. Sheesh!

[JayJ20]

So Calsher Dear, Weddle, Watson, D'Ambrosio. These aren't veterans.

All of these "we're too young" excuses over the years put to shame by a bunch of kids.

Bloody nice of them to go and support Mass at his new club.

You're kidding Lolllll. What's so inspirational about that? Watching their ex-teammate achieve what they haven't? Am I supposed to be moved?
