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

I would say Naughton out of their forward line crashing and bashing with the Dogs midfielders just bombing it long without having to lower the eyes has made it much less so.
Naughton will be a regular backman going forward from here on in.

so with all the pundits calling for the Dogs to find another Forward target to spread the load and make them... say less predictable and more successful.... your solution to be less predictable is send him to the back line and replace him with who ... JUH.... ( JUH can play forward sure) but then just have the same issue with a different name.

Id expect some ...umm... contrary responses

I'd be livid as a Saints supporter. Watching the highlights of the game and just shaking my head. Saints look impotent up forward and completely out of their depth down back. Dogs were on for sure, but boy were the Saints just crap. They look so reactive sometimes, like nobody wants to take the initiative.

How's this for some forward thinking . . . get use to having no Hawkins because in 2024, our forward half will line up as Stengle, Ollie Henry, Cameron, De Koning and Close.

You better mean Tom because because we're sure as s*** not putting Sam there

 

[Strange Cat]

SDK in the forward line…now I’ve heard everything I’d put Neale or Sav there first just quietly…you know instead of the potential future 250 game plus AA defender

Hell there’s even a few more drafts before Hawkins retires… which isn’t a earth shattering revelation by the way Robert

but like I said don’t feed the troll

De Koning, nope. Not yet. He's tracking along very nicely but has a little while to go. I'd have Henry above him and he wouldn't be classified as an A grader either.

This year De Koning has been clearly better than Henry.

Henry has struggled returning from injury and is starting to hit form again, but so far he's been nowhere near as good as he was last year.

True, Henry's year has been interrupted...and yet, nowhere near as good is sometimes good enough.

Yes, it is. He's building nicely. But I was responding to the poster who compared him to De Koning.

Stop, stop I can only get so erect

And another forward option

I am not comparing Henry to De Koning. I am simply saying both Henry and De Koning are not A grade players just yet. Henry is nearing in having been consistently excellent for 18 months but compare both boys to a legitimate elite player in Tom Stewart, and that is the difference.
Geelong have a handful of those types. A grader players who are walk up starters in to any of the top sides in the competition.

Id expect some ...umm... contrary responses

Naughton would be an All Australian full back and completely alter the dynamics of their current back line.

So yes, it would make them more successful.

Suggesting De Koning will play forward in a couple years time has brought out some strong feeling's
So much so, you must be a troll to have such a view

De Koning, O.Henry, Cameron and Stengle would be mightily agile and dangerous.

we should play GAS in our forward line to make our 22 better.

Bring him out of retirement. It will confuse the opposition.

I cant even finish this its so stupid.

Congrats on the most unique post of the year. Claiming Naughton a lock for AA FB.

You can continue your AFL Fantasy dreams alone.

Im done with play time.
