No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XXXVI

[living_in_syd]

Jacob Van Rooyen debuts tomorrow. Part of me hopes his career turns into a Mitch Thorp type bust instead of a Jack Riewoldt. Time will tell who's a better player out of Tom Brown and Van Rooyen. Hopefully the selectors got it right cos if Dow doesn't start showing something at senior level will be delisted season's end and another cursed first round bust. Dan Rioli and Vlastuin our only successful 1st round picks since Dusty 14 years ago is becoming a farce. Gibcus should be a beauty though.

Hope im wrong but rend to agree. Seleccting tom brown over him was a baffling decision especially how desperate we are for a developing key forward

 

[domin8]

Wow even worse.

Yeah it’s pretty bad. Looking forward to the AFL ticking it off

**** Richo's bad in the media. He's now saying we're singling out Daisy because we've let other media personalities into our rooms with ties to opposition clubs. No shit Richo, we're not going to ban ex-players turned media because they might relay info to their old clubs. There's a level of trust there.
But we WILL ban an ASSISTANT COACH of another club when it's their job to work out how to beat other sides. How is this even a contentious issue?

Michaels needs to grill him on the podcast tomorrow

 

[Profop]

Yeah I’m not backing Richo on this one. I sort of think Daisy needs to choose either she’s a match day coach or she’s a commentator. It’s not that she would necessarily get any inside information it’s more just the look of it. Plus you have to draw the line somewhere. The AFL industry is incestuous enough as it is

I can’t think (off the top of my head) an example of anyone doing both roles at once. Plenty that do media when they don’t have a coaching gig but as soon as they do they stop with the media work

In fairness George pulls the pin in the preseason how can he kick goals?
Butler had a blinder last night. I wish him all the best. And I am eternally grateful for the 2017 flag. That drought breaking flag has made Butler a legend to me. I rate that one flag over any other accolade.

Higgins his stkilda team mate is the reason he got low balled out of punt road. We had excess small fwds.
George was better then too. And went on to win 2 more flags. Selection of our small fwd is problematic, george should have been dropped earlier. Mansell not played There either..

But give me 3 flags over 3 million AA. AA FFS. Some random team that never played a game.


Higgins had an insane debut year. Unfortunately got sick and ended up leaving us.. I think we got fair compo for him

RFC also had MRJ as a likely replacement.
Aarts too was good VFL player not quite good enough.

Butler and Higgins are complete downhill skiing spuds. At least that’s what they’ve been thus far - maybe they’ll become better players under pressure under Lyon, but I’m not bemoaning their departure at this time as they’d cost us $750k-season and we’d not have gotten Hopper or held onto Graham or Bolton.

Let’s hold fire until we see Butler and Higgins when the whips are cracking, not against the no pressure, insipid Bombers.

Would any club let an oppo's assistant coach into their rooms?

 

[Tiger V]

When a free kick and certain goal can be given by the umps in a close game like that there really needs to be some sort of action by the AFL.

i thought shit like that only happens to the tigers , this ump either does not know the rules and should not be in the game or he is a straight out cheat and should be investigated

When she said 'The orange team' they offered her a contract as that's abc quality right there

 

[Dunger]

The umpires explanation said nothing about abusive language just the action

The umpire is the tip of the Corruption iceberg

 

[All Aust]

Kelly Underwood on the ABCs offsiders program trying hard to make Richmond’s ban on the Geelong assistant coach & channel seven commentator in their change rooms into a feminist sexism thingo…. Good thing the other panelists put her in her place….

How on earth did she get that role, it amazes me

That's where Kelly goes, every time... Kelly grinds that axe. The Drum also goes there way more than is needed. Unfortunate that the Tiges became the ire.

This shouldn't be a gender issue as a offsiders panelist quite rightly stated: Ch 7 should Keep all work conflicted employees out of rooms. No Luke Darcy, no Jimmy Bartel, no Richo, no Hodge etc etc.. Truth be known they can do all the media stuff from a control point.

If Suns beat cats at home this arvo, Cats go bottom of the ladder and win less.

Carn the Suns!!!!

 

[chriso11]

Reckon suns could pinch one here

 

[_RT_]

Lucky Geelong has talent in the VFL to turn to to arrest their 0-2 start to the season.

 

[SunshineBoy]

It would be interesting to know what the player said to award the dissent free. Reckon it would be something like "you're ******* joking aren't you". To award a free and certain goal in a close game it really is ludicrous and bordering on corruption with betting on games in the modern age.

He said why wasn’t the other one a free

LISTEN: Full audio of ump's explanation of controversial 'dissent' free leaves greats at odds

Jason Dunstall and Garry Lyon disagreed over whether a crackdown on umpire dissent is good for the game.

About the same time as the Dees/ Swans game

Rather listen to nails scratching on a Chalk board then her ramblings.

Dees fans in a dilemma today. Do they motor on down from Brighton to Albert Park to the corporate boxes or do they go to the G. Tally Ho chaps.

My dear chap......Dees fans into motor sports??

land rover 4WDs on the farm is the end of it

 

[Roachy8]

Just turned the cats v suns on

Sure enough within 30 seconds Danger gets sucked off with a very very soft holding the ball in his favour

And now he throws it then gets a htm free

What a joke - he literally fought the tackle - dropped it cold and was given the free…
