Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2021/2022

[Cataholic]

Yeah the AFL have really lost the plot there. Apologising to a player who transgressed their own rules for the arguments made by their own lawyers? Who did they take advice from on that one?

It's mind boggling that they've basically apologised to a player guilty of transgressing their rules for the rigours of being prosecuted.

For those who haven't seen the other teams for this round, here's the Sun's round 12 side

Good to see former Geelong VFL B&F winner James Tsitas get his name on the team sheet, even if only as an emergency at this stage

Round 12 Team:

B:	27. Wil Powell	25. Sam Collins	46. Caleb Graham
HB:	50. Jy Farrar	10. Charlie Ballard	35. Connor Budarick
C:	14. Lachie Weller	11. Touk Miller	4. Brandon Ellis
HF:	9. Ben Ainsworth	12. Sam Day	15. Noah Anderson
F:	22. Izak Rankine	1. Mabior Chol	7. Nick Holman
FOLL:	28. Jarrod Witts	18. Matt Rowell	24. David Swallow
INT:	30. Alex Davies	40. Joel Jeffrey	17. Oleg Markov
	41. Malcolm Rosas Jnr
EMG:	20. Jeremy Sharp	29. Chris Burgess	33. Charlie Constable
	21. James Tsitas

Hopefully as a fellow WWT / bankers alumnus Tsitas gets behind the young fella Zane.

So Eddie has barked with the faux outrage, and the AFL has barked on command.

Sorry, but cowards HAVE played AFL, and Cotchin DID over-play it.

What happened? The afl apologised for suspending buddy?

What happened? The afl apologised for suspending buddy?

THE AFL has apologised to Sydney superstar Lance Franklin after the forward was labelled a "coward" during a heated Tribunal hearing...

..."It's a strike and not push," Woods told the Tribunal on Wednesday night.

"Did Franklin hit Cotchin? Of course he did as Cotchin had got under his skin.

"There’s kids watching, there’s families watching, it’s cowardly behaviour."

AFL apologises to Buddy over 'cowardly' comment

I would say the term wasn't technically correct but an apologising makes them look like idiots. Lawyers say much worse regularly

95% of people wouldn’t have noticed had they not apologised and not many of the 5% who did would have cared. It only served to draw attention. Bizarre.

I could also add Kevin Bartlett to that list. Such a great player for his size, rightly known as "Hungry".
Saw him do a standup in the early 80's. Great speaker, very funny guy.

And Nick Riewoldt, loved him as a player. Very humble, unlike Jack who takes smug to a whole new level.

When the police troll their tweets throws through their FB page:

WC better be this bad when we get to them

 

[Mad_Hatter]

TK tries to kick long down the line, barely goes 35m then 5 seconds later kicks it out on the full.
He's fallen so far

Yet will pick up the BnF this year and the added $$$ bonus that goes with it.

 

[Gunf]

WC with less possies and yet only half the tackles

 

[James1970]

Approaching mid season 2022, and being too wet for my ritualistic late night walk at present, I was thinking about favourite Non Cats players, and maybe we can select one from each team.
Adelaide- Tony Modra
Brisbane- Jason Akermanis.
Carlton- Anthony Koutoufides
Collingwood- John Greening
Essendon- James Hird
Fitzroy- Bernie Quinlan
Footscray- Doug Hawkins
Fremantle- Matthew Pavlich
Gold Coast- Gary Ablett jnr
GWS- Toby Greene
Hawthorn- Peter Knights
Melbourne- Christian Petracca
North Melbourne- Keith Greig
Port Adelaide- Gavin Wanganeen
Richmond- Dustin Martin
St. Kilda- Daryl Baldock
South Melbourne- Peter Bedford
Sydney-Buddy Franklin (hated him at Hawthorn!!)
Western Bulldogs- Marcus Bontempelli
WCE- Daniel Kerr

Not a bad list of 20

FB- Wanganeen Pavlich Akermanis
HB- Bontempelli Knights Greening
C- Greig Petracca Hawkins
HF- Martin Franklin Baldock
FF- Greene Modra Quinlan
R- Koutoufides Hird Ablett
IC- Kerr Bedford

Probably mentioned it in a thread years ago, but Robbie Flower was/is my favourite non-Cats footy star. There was one of those school holiday footy clinics the VFL used to run along the old railway yards outside the MCG. Each team had hundreds of kids, except us. We topped maybe a dozen. So few, the player in charge of us - a very young Mark Yeates - took his ciggies and walked off. Flower saw what happened and ran over, taking us for a run and drills, kick-to-kick...signed gear, the whole thing. I think half the group probably saw their first Premiership last year.

Horrible basic skills from the Eagles

Some people thought we treated Constable hard, The suns dropped him after being the sub and not getting on the ground lol
