Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[brutus76]

So just get multiple father sons/academy players and use an unbalanced points system to double dip on good players and trade for stars?

Shoulda drafted the Suitcase instead of McGrath for a start

 

[jannissary]

Handy is not really NS worthy, is it?

lohmann was influential in the first & second, then disappeared in the third before getting his fourth in the last. ashcroft played a solid four quarter game & deserved to win

 

[ghostdog]

Lohmann robbed. Where was Ashcroft in the first quarter?

I felt like Lohmann went missing himself a bit

 

[bommer16]

I thought Joe was immense he was everywhere. He’s last goal was pretty special.

 

[naraku]

A pity to think Daniher, McKenna, McCluggage and Dunkley are at Brisbane celebrating a flag. All 4 could have been with Essendon and it makes you wonder what/if any difference that would make to us.

 

[BomberFan355]

Going to watch the Swans get smashed again in 4K on Foxtel.

 

[jmoo wan]

obviously Ashcroft got the award on his surname, if they were up for an oscar then i’d back lohmann because of his father baz

 

[Mootsy]

I thought starcevich was BOG, but I get why Ashcroft was in contention as well. Lions list is stacked!

 

[jdstorm]

So who’s ready to win trade week

 

[crackers65]

You have to have some luck. Brisbane get Ashcroft and Fletcher, we get the Davey bros. They also get another Ashcroft next draft.

 

[Mootsy]

Let’s not forget that they wouldn’t have won the GF had Joe not kicked those 3 goals in the comeback game, who just so happened to play for Essendon…..

I’ll get my coat.

 

[Vindicater]

Daniher to retire for a year.
Then return in 2026 to lead us to the promised land.

Almost like they have a professional afl environment developing these kids while we mostly hoped for the best

My point is that Lohmann had impact when the game was really on the line. Again, the value of possessions is determined by the context.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

You mean when he was kicking goals that set the trend for the Lions?

 

[rumply]

So that was Daniher's last game almost certainly, no?

The game was never his passion, he just happened to be good at it. What a way to go out.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Had to score more goals.
Dunkley had 11 tackles.

What's that got to do with Ashcroft?

 

[dnbassador]

Just pointing out that Rampe is zero - three in Grand Finals

They won a flag because the rest of the team is class/structured well. All 4 bar McClug walked into a team that was already contending. Apples and oranges.

both can be true, lohmann got 1 vote which means he was at least recognised. i think that starcevich absolutely deserved to win it, played fantastically all game, kept one of the best small forwards in the game to 1.1 and had little effect on the game. i just think ashcroft tore the game apart when it was on the cusp of breaking even and demonstrated just how high his skill ceiling can be. Ah Chee & Neale were the other players in the votes.

You'd fancy your chances if you make a grand final against Sydney.

Fair point. But Ashcroft got 13 votes which suggests that the judges (as a collective) thought his game was 13x better than Lohmann's game. Don't think so.

That is 3 more grand finals pretty much all of our players!

I liked his speech after the game - it was pretty classy. It is harder to dislike him.
