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

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

He must really have loved North to choose them over Geelong

Add Selwood, could also rotate Steve Johnson and Chappy through there. Nothing beats that Cats midfield for depth and quality. It’s almost unfair

As time goes by, opposing supporters forget just how good players like Chapman or Johnson were.

The media fawn over Martin when he had that 4 year stretch between 2017-2020 but take a glance over Chappy's numbers between 2007-2010. Absurd statistics.
Averaged 21 disposals (Martin 22) and averaged 2.2 goals (Martin 2.1).

He goes to Essendon at the end of his career and is arguably their best player in his last finals appearance.

All the Hawthorn bandwagon supporters are starting to crawl out from their holes after a few good wins.
The silence was good while it lasted for a good half decade.

must be in line for the WCE job.

Under the radar brilliant assistant coach by all accounts.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

I believe Sydney (?) may have been chasing him pretty hard and so to ward off external interest, they signed him to a stupid deal

What an embarrassing deal. Do they have that little faith in retaining players they feel the need to lock them up for life with monster decade long deals??

It reminds me of a desperate girlfriend trying To knock themselves up so their partner won’t leave them.

James rahilly must be in line for the WCE job.

Under the radar brilliant assistant coach by all accounts.

He moved back to Geelong because he and his wife and kids wanted to be closer to extended family.
That's why he only lasted a short time (3 years) in Adelaide.

He's absolutely not going to move again, especially to the other side of the whole country after they specifically wanted to go back to Victoria..

The blues changes are dire.

I don't think I could pick any of the changes out of a line up.

Are any of them key forwards? Look at the forward line they have named





I suppose they will end up playing McGovern forward.

Owies can potentially operate as a slightly shorter full forward ala Ablett Senior '93-'96.

Meanwhile one of the Hollands boys will be the roaming CHF role akin to Jeremy Cameron.

The only time I thought I would ever see Owies and Ablett Senior in the same sentence was when describing the state of Johnny Gastev's rib cage.

Yeah I had too much fun throwing that comparison in. They don't have much tall forward depth.

Haven't heard his name mentioned

Haven't heard his name mentioned

Out of curiosity, was Chris Scott mentioned as a candidate for our role back in the day?

Good for us.

 

[And_ROOS]

Yeah they had to find a new role for Blitz though. What Tim's new role? Runner?

Dunno what his new role will be but they now have 5 more years to suss it out.

 

[BotsMaster]

Bombers or Swans tonight?

 

[Hamingja]

I've gone full cheerleader this week with my tips. Essendon, Freo and Adelaide

 

[Gunf]

Bombers or Swans tonight?

I hope the Bombers but surely the Swans

The blues changes are dire.

Dire is to nice a word they are screwed six ways from Sunday

Remember back in like May, when Bombers supporters were gloating hard about “stealing” this awesome KPD from North…

Bombers or Swans tonight?

Essendon

Just for a laugh

 

[winty]

He must really have loved North to choose them over Geelong

Obviously loves having his Septembers free.

Apparently North are really interested in Viney - wonder if part of the drawcard is the ability to head to the snow in September

The only time I thought I would ever see Owies and Ablett Senior in the same sentence was when describing the state of Johnny Gastev's rib cage.

Wasn't one of GAS better efforts mind you - could have picked someone a little more robust but that's the penalty for dropping into the hole.

Gastev actually lined up on him at the start! Not sure what Walls was thinking..

 

[Frappe]

Essendon

Just for a laugh

I tipped them as well - who knows?
