Oppo Camp Other Clubs News/General Discussion

It varies wildly.

There are coffee shops that do serve decent coffee. But unlike Melbourne they don’t need to do so to stay in business.

The best part about living in Sydney? Sydney doesn’t compare itself to anywhere else. The Melbourne - Sydney rivalry only exists in one direction.

Joel Cochran’s first interview was a good case study - he was asked by a journo how he felt moving from Sydney to Melbourne. He was utterly confused by the question - what is he supposed to say? No journo in Sydney would ever think to ask the question the other way around.

Seems like a fair question on the basis coming from an afl meh state to a footy mad state. As far as the rivalry goes, there may be been something of it several years ago, now it is a case of Melbourne being comfortable in its own identity as demonstrated by the previous comments about coffee. If there are any vestiges of a rivalry, don’t see it.

Geez I hope he holds on long enough to get the games record. Would be the perfect way to cap off his career, along with another flag of course!

I remember when we drafted him. Adam White - reporting from the draft - sent me a text saying we got a good one today. And he wasn’t referring to Daisy…

6 months later and I saw him first hand dismantle Port Melb in the VFL. Have been enjoying every minute of his career ever since.

Go Pendles, go pies…

Hardest part of living in Sydney is that they don’t know WTF you’re talking about when you ask for steamed dim sims. Or potato cakes. Or adding vinegar to chips and salt.

That’s no way to live man.

Drafting Pendles was almost like a turning point for our club. We’ve been very successful (by our modern standards) in his time with us. Can’t say I’m attributing it all to Pendles - but equally his importance to us should not be underestimated.

An inspired selection by Hine and co. A literal game changer for the club.

Our next coach - give it 8 - 10 years

Yeah, they call potato cakes "scallops" - you wonder how they tell the difference between the spud variety and the shellfish variety.

I believe the seafood variety is referred to as a "Tasmanian scallop"

Probably the same way people tell the difference between “potato cakes” and “cakes”?

They call them scollops, I made that mistake and ended up with half a dozen potato cakes.

 

[neilk]

I think it's potato scallops, as in scalloped potatoes.

For anyone following the cricket, Beau Webster is a mad keen Collingwood supporter.

He also played in the ruck as a junior and was once towelled up by Brodie Grundy.

Proud moment when that popped up on the cricket thread today. I claimed him straight away, claim we know him as “Nikki” and that he naturally has a basketball background due to his height

Missed this one today. Love it.

Our best selection ever. Should have 4 to 5 flags to his name which would have escalated his legendary status even higher.

It’s between Pendles and Swanny

Pendles:

• pick 5
• star burnt longer and more consistently.
• respected, admired

Swanny:

• pick 56
• star burnt a little brighter, and 258 games is still decent.
• loved

Maybe a lot of Sydneysiders don’t have anything positive to say about Sydney?
