Oppo Camp The Non-Essendon Thread III

[Phone]

i quite like the dogs ftr. obviously goals are a worry, but it's still a good midfield, and if lake is firing, a good defence. North won't be the only team they upset this season


age distribution a worry too, but that's for the future

 

[JD11]

this is his third year right?

 

[Doss]

Yeah, one guy on the North board described the Dogs as being "no better than an overachieving GWS unit".

Wrong, sour grapes, and no idea all rolled into one. The Dogs aren't great- and almost certainly some pain lies ahead for them- but they still have enough decent players to deserve being above such a description as that.

 

[Beerfish]

**** that, I have had 2 and a half years of "be patient"

This is North Melbourne, not ****ing Richmond.

It sure isn't.

Richmond have the makings of a half decent midfield.

 

[Kong]

Was that in relation to our defeat v Sydney? If so, totally justified.

Woeful, biased officiating.

Nah the West Coast game in Perth.

 

[Macca18]

Fair to say I'm pretty happy with the Dogs win today... obviously nowhere near as happy as I was last night, but it's turning into a reasonably good weekend of results.

We already knew we were a step or two above North but today just underlined it, no matter what their delusional supporters think.

Even though I lost my tip I'm happy Norf lost.

i can think of a certain north user who really really hates the dogs..........

 

[Vtorians]

What a glorious day.

The "meatgrinder" midfield turns out to be full of soft spuds, VFL-quality squibs like Liam Anthony are among their best, and they've just been beaten by a very average Dogs side.

The North way I guess.

This bloke knows how to get it & could be pretty good at a decent club with a bit of tweaking, i'd be more worried about their soft captain & guys like JZ, who's nowhere near as good or hard as Benny Howlett or any of our inside Mids for that matter.
Really when you look at their list, its full of holes on every line.

 

[Godzke]

Hope to see more of this.

Pretenders.

Anthony's disposal is fairly crap though. He had a good game today, no doubt about it - probably North's best. Which is really, really funny when you consider Norf supporters just last week were asking for him to be dropped and to never play another game for the club again after he squibbed a few contests in a row.

Also happened to be listening to Triple M after the game. Jack Ziebell given the 3 worst on ground votes by Nathan Brown. 6 of his 8 kicks went to the opposition or were ineffective. I wonder how our mate mufassa would feel about these stats, considering how quick he was to use that ammo against Stanton.

Reality setting in at Arden St:

I had those clowns as certs for the top 8 this year with the draw they had.

Yet they drop easy games like that.

Scott must be furious.

Maybe he can be so furious he'll come up with a sustainable gameplan.

 

[IriDiuM]

Jeezus, and to think we nearly lost to that rabble.... **** me that would have been embarrassing. Thank god McIntosh folded like a house of cards. Kind of symbolic of their whole club tbh.

 

[yaco55]

Bulldogs won the contested possession by 54 - This is must be one of the biggest differences in stats history.

Griffen was sublime today - Imagine he and Stanton on either wing.

 

[Kong]

Visy are being linked with a notorious Melbourne underworld gang, according to Channel 9.

 

[Tassieboy]

Hilarious. Culture.

 

[Slattery_20]

Hmm, the run-and-gun shootout stuff came off spectacularly one week, then went terribly against a poor side just a few weeks later, and it seems like they have completely run out of legs.

I have this very odd, very acute, feeling of deja vu right now.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Oh, really?

 

[Smokin]

Dont worry, once north get their depleted stars back the meatgrinder will be in effect and I will pray to the lord almighty for the opposition midfielders and their respective families.

Playing against Jack Ziebull without a helmet and padding should be illegal under the laws of this land!!

 

[Oneiros]

Even though I lost my tip I'm happy Norf lost.

Had the same reaction as this. Norf supporters can get hugely on my nerves at times XD

 

[Kong]

Oh, really?

I mean yeah it's hardly surprising, but it's the first time I've heard of them being linked with another criminal organisation.

I wonder whether, if this proves to be true, Carlton will abandon their sponsorship with them, like Melbourne did with theirs, despite their situation.

Really would be another chance for them to prove that their infamous culture of endless second chances and turning the blind eye are still prevalent.
