Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XI

[boncer34]

yes, because he was angry about being made to play forward!

Was heard to be saying **** this club as he ran out after half time.

McCartin is a mark dropping machine, he's elite at it.

They should have gone Petracca at pick 1, players like McCartin will struggle in modern footy

Not sure where all the hype for st kilda comes from. Very overrated side.

We'll smash them I reckon

 

[GUMBLETRON]

I think Suns/Dees has just produced goal of the year. Lemmens managed to nutmeg a shot through the legs of a Dees defender and straight into the bonce of the goal umpire.

Edit:

Well... Gold Coast are going better than I thought.

agree, Petracca is probably my favourite non-Ess player. Plays with joy, like Joey D. That spirit, combined with their skills and talent, makes them such assets to their respective teams.

Relevant to our game now but much more generally.

Champion data need to create a statistic that does something like compare the inside 50 entries converted into goals and to then notionally reduce behinds and inside 50 entries to reflect the difference between the teams.

Less relevant tonight than it was.

But you can't assume that he is the only player who could do it which is essentially what you have to do to justify the price tag.

The combination of Roughead and Campbell were probably capable of it.

I am not justifying the price Tag. He is being payed way overs. He is young and i still think he will be a good player but he will never be a $1,000,000 dollar player. He is worth less that half of that at the moment.
Not that it matters to the Dogs. They got their flag and are in the mix for another so to them the price is irrelevant.

It is an interesting scenario.
Dogs pay overs for a young bloke who will never be worth more than $600k IMO. Win their flag so to them it is money well spent.
If the Swans do not win a flag with Buddy then it may well be money not well spent on a player who is worth close to what he is getting.

Lolnorf putting up a very special Norf choke

[Barry Roundhouse]

Been a cracking fight back from the blues.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Lolnorf are lolnorfing hard

 

[Dennis Trumpet]

I came in to lolnorf, but i was beaten to the punch

 

[doug85]

I also came in to post 'lolnorf'.

 

[DERO]

Far out! How good is footy these days? (Except for last night)

 

[JayJ20]

We'll win either way!!!!

 

[Dennis Trumpet]

We'll win either way!!!!

hopefully carlton have a shot after the siren to win the game, and kick a point so its a draw

Promising signs from Brisbane. What I would be doing if I were them this off-season:

1. Trade for Kurt Tippett. Given the rumours surrounding his discontent at Sydney and their need to have that senior key forward where they can just bang it long and get a contest, it could be a win/win.
2. Use their current pick 13 (I think? Lore) to get more points. Pick 19 is one that they could trade for points as well to get Ballenden
3. Bring in a definite best 22 mature key defender. Andy Otten or Eric MacKenzie as a FA works.
4. If Schache leaves, get a top 10 pick for him.

Overall, the trades would look like:

1. Pick 19 for Tippett and 41
2. Schache for pick 7 (Collingwood)
3. Picks 7 and 13, 41, 42 for 3, 21, 30 (Gold Coast)

Overall that means they have picks 1, 3, 21, 30, 73. Will 21, 30 and 73 be enough for Ballenden?

 

[yaco55]

That loss by Sydney to Hawthorn has probably ended their season - I was expecting Sydney to win by 10+ goals.

 

[yaco55]

Nankervis would have to be the recruit of the year so far. Great pick up

He's another over-rated Maric - Good against the bottom 10 rucks but struggles big time against the best 6 rucks - I'd say he lowered his colors to T-Bell who is hardly a leading ruck - Nankervis is a solid contributor.

 

[yaco55]

This game showing why I rated Taranto so highly, he will be a star

He is a super impressive player - His performances to date are not far behind McGrath.

Yep, as of the end of round 9. Pick 13 is tied to wherever Port Adelaide finish, so by the end of tonight they'll be eighth, and that pick becomes 11.
