Oppo Camp The Non-North Footy Discussion & Matchday Chat Thread (NNFD&MCT) IX

[Zondor]

How long before the Hird / Sheedy Collective get Scotts sacked? :stern look

 

[Flawed Genius]

Oh Jesus Christ. Smoked 1 on 1. Stop the bleeding

No body on body.. no touch, lets Fogarty walk around him

 

[Ligma]

LMFAOOO that’s shocking

 

[Sphynx]

It's basically Merrett and Caldwell against the world. Nic Martin sucks again, Archie Roberts is terrible, Durham is a trundler, Shiel, Duursma and Hobbs are garbage. Who will Brad poach from North at the end of the year to try to fill the gap this time? My money is on someone from the membership team

Durham is a jet.

Would take him here in a heartbeat.

 

[Roosurgence]

**** the AFL are dodgy pricks.

Claiming there is 47,000 at the G. Would be lucky to be 25,000.

Can’t report low crowd numbers for one of the so called big clubs, doesn’t suit the narrative.

 

[Passmore]

I think you should have sympathy for them, but even if you don't, this should concern you. Under new management the AFL is clearly trying to stifle smaller clubs in favour of bigger ones. This is being done in various ways, such as 'marketing quotas,' match fixtures (both quality, timing, and difficulty - see Carlton's inexplicably easy fixture), free agency (all clubs have the same money, so free agents want to go to big crowd clubs - see Houston and many others), and umpiring.

Regardless of past history, this is a huge issue that clubs like STK, WBD, NM, GWS, and FREO have, and they need to band together somehow to prevent it. WBD are afloat at the moment through incredible father-sons, and GWS through the academy, but long-term they will suffer the same fate.

The STK president wasn't very eloquent, but his message last year was absolutely correct and applies to us too. If we keep squabbling with small clubs, we (and they) will not exist in a competitive sense in 30 years, as the AFL attempts to emulate the EPL and NBA.

Still nothing.

$900k LOL

 

[Flawed Genius]

Another one on his man.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Looks like McKay is having another great game.
Can't wait to read how it's an anomaly because the humidity was above 65% or something equally as insane.

Million dollar Ben 5 disposals, Brad will see the positive

Aberration? Back him in?

Imagine blowing a big chunk of your cap spud.

Tsatas kicking

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Essendon are genuinely one of the softest most front running sides in the competition. They never change. Caldwell is doing so much heavy lifting in that midfield it’s ridiculous.

Martin, Redman, Merrett, Tsatas, Jones, Perkins, Duursma, Shiel and McGrath is faaaar too many one way runners.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Tsatas kicking

Brad Scott on screen after that simple kick turn over in the middle of the”get him the **** off the ground”

 

[Jonnoo]

That kick was diabocal. Same shit we see every week

 

[Kanga Glory]

Tsatas kicking

Someone on here wanted him

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The cognitive dissonance required to rate Tsatas but not a certain NMFC F/S wingman needs to be the subject of a PhD study.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Crows are going to massacre us next week

Might be a record club margin tbh

Not looking forward to it

 

[shinboner magic]

Bombers getting well pumped by Adelaide. Time for Scott to roll out plan A 2.0.

Rebuild talk incoming

Durham is a jet.

Would take him here in a heartbeat.

Did brainiac bard play him forward again
He’s a centre bounce bull

We'll only know for sure when we see a sliding doors on the AFL website about the crowd.

Roof was open.

JHF once again can't control his temper when things don't go his way.

Would have been a cancer at our club. Yeah we've been bad since but things would have been even worse.
