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

[gokangas]

Look forward to hearing an interview with their Indigenous Support Officer and then Kennet in their Remember When segment. Gonna be great radio.

Gee the melts on the Sydney board about Horse are a bit much.

Couple bad losses while still 1st on the ladder, and it's the end of the world.

Imagine they had to go through what we have in the last 5 years?

No wonder the AFL gave them the advantages they have.

And more thing about the Gold Coast, I wish all the people pushing for our relocation in the media were brought up and held to account for their bullshit about how a relocation would automatically mean success. They all need to be constantly reminded about this failure.

Gold Coast are the ultimate example of living on your knees.

There are reasons why from the start most people have a lot more respect for GWS - they got the concessions but from day 1 they made better and more sustainable decisions (setting the brief Sheedy tomfoolery aside).

Sheedy was actually smart business by the Giants imo.
Gave the club a well known indentity to sell the club off field. And took the pain of the first 2 seasons, meaning neither of these responsibilities fell on to a rookie coach.
Cameron had a far smoother introduction to senior coaching than McKenna did, because of it.

asking family and friends to call out what they loved/their highlight of the win yesterday, in front of the players after the match. Nice touch!

yeah definitely.

Ward and Davis vs GAJ was a much better decision too.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Absolutely!

Went for 2 young blokes with leadership qualities, they could build the club around for the first 10 years. Rather than chasing a name

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I just remember that GC went all in on the high draftee kids and GWS recruits a bunch of older players to help coach them onfield - Dean Brogan? Feel like there were a few as well as Callan Ward and Phil Davis. They lost plenty of the early drafted kids but always got good value and seemed like they stayed on course. They had a couple of extra years to think about it but started on solid ground.

Its funny cos recruiting flash in the pan players like GAJ or Karmicheal Hunt is such a Gold Coast (the place) thing to do. And living in Western Sydney ... 95% of the time its a grind and hard work. So they picked hard working players who could grind things out when they needed to. We're seeing the results now.

BTW GAJ is alot more than just a flash in the pan player across his career but in the context of his move to the Suns I think its a fair description.

 

[King Corey]

Did any of the Pendlebury media include the "priority pick" prefix when they mentioned him?

 

[krakouers]

Chad Cornes, Brogan, Rhys Palmer, Luke Power, James McDonald, Tom Scully,
Heath Shaw the next year or two?

They did sign Israel Folau though. He was..not good.

Onfield was rubbish, did help their promotion at the start

 

[King Corey]

They did sign Israel Folau though. He was..not good.

If his heart was in it would've been interesting with his athletic profile.

But he would've had one eye on his bank balance and one eye on the return to a rugby code.

One of the all time greats but he was cooked on the weekend. Good on him for calling it instead of trying to sqeeze another year or two out.

 

[Hojuman]

We broke Dusty ☹

spot on

 

[leighlee13]

I thought exactly the same thing!

 

[Hojuman]

I'm of an age to have seen a bitta footy. Dusty an all-time great, without doubt. But l would not put him in front of;
. Bartlett
. Hart
. Bourke
. ( never saw Dyer or Titus ) Horace ?

Different time & game, but those 3.

Debatable l suppose.

Kinda like great teams. This is Carltank's 1972 G.F. side who l would stack against any modern side ( and Crosswell injured )

We didn’t break Dusty, his dad’s passing did that and understandably so.

Someone rupturing his kidney on a footy help probably contributed.
