Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2024, Part I

Sure, but if there is a guy available at your pick that you're confident can become a player you back yourself in to train him up no?

Yeah absolutely, just lamenting that he wasn't there. Not complaining about the course of action we took.

Clarkos biggest error of judgement here was apologising for acting highly appropriately

‘Inappropriate’: Clarko sorry for spraying Webster after hit

UPDATE: North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson has issued an apology for a verbal spray directed toward St Kilda’s Jimmy Webster in the wake of the brutal bump that floored Roos star Jy Simpkin.

What's up with these guys going for the big bumps knocking people out in pre-season games? They're muck-about games to get games into the legs, fellas. You don't need to be KO'ing people. It's not even the NAB cup where you would get a little trophy for winning at the end.

It's just insane. If Simpkin gets CTE later in life then just think of the personal tragedy for him and his family. For just a pointless exercise.

With SPP I can sort of accept there's a degree of the player being slung into him but still think 4 is appropriate because.

Webster, I don't even know what to say. If they rubbed him out for a full year I would shocked but not appalled.

Did you think the same about Franklin in 2004? I know we didn't have the pick, but imagine...

Missed out by about 25 picks there so not really but franklin would have been amazing with the rest of the field we were developing.

But if we go into that draft with a first round pick we do not land the Ottens trade and the rest as they say is history

 

[you pick one]

Can only think there's bad blood there somewhere payback for something said earlier on or something in the past maybe not even footy related.Just spitballing but Webster was on a mission.

Yeah, it's been suggested that one of his team-mates was clobbered a little bit earlier.

The Webster's are next level .

Cooper & GWS media team hit the ground running ahead of the 2024 season...

I might have to make Giants my second team at this rate.

It was about this post last year ahead of the finals that was selling the need for GWS to be my second team

 

[cats_09]

And can't remember seeing this posted - another reason to have GWS as ones second team,

Good luck to Cam in his new role

 

[cats_09]

And speaking of the team with arguably the best social media team in the league, let's look at a few of their highlights from during last year's finals series

Following their week 1 win over St Kilda:

The big big sound memes before the 2019 GF was what made the Giants likeable for me. I would still really like them if they didn't ask for so much for Cameron, but then again they gave up a player who was crucial in a flag year.

Week 2, semi final versus Port





This may be one of their best...

They already are for me

I'm flirting with the idea too, but struggling with the concept that it'd include one Toby Greene.

 

[cats_09]

I agree with Webster on this, but seems a bit rich considering his family's actions which I doubt he would condemn publically - may have been best to not include this in his testimony

I don't see anyone targeting his wife and kids. I did see him targeting Simpkin though

F* him off for 8 weeks

Good night

It's not comparable to the SPP incident

Man I love the gws media team
