    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

    Hard to find a wrong time to post this. Could've been posted about a specific moment in commentary tonight, posted mid week or in the off season 😂

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

    Think that's a good option instead of priority draft picks. If you're deemed to be struggling, you can pay 5/10% less in the next year or 2. If this is too difficult due to the pre existing nature of contracts, the AFL could add an extra 5-10% on your salary cap for a following year to attract...

    AFL Player # 2: Sam Draper - Not playing this weekend due to "knee soreness" - 3/5

    Not this season, but in his better games he's played, he clunks marks, does have a reasonable field kick, wins decisive ruck contests (with limited craft but with athleticism) and is physical with the opposition. I'd love if he could turn himself into a less dirty, more athletic Mumford. Agree...

    AFL Player #15: Jayden Laverde

    Doubt Scott will drop Lav as we won, but we look real slow with Lav, Hepp and Kelly. The latter 2 are in better form so it needs to be Lav to go to the 2s to find form/ (more likely) wait for another player to get injured to get back in the seniors

    AFL Player #33: Alwyn Davey Jr - Lindsay Griffith Rising Star

    Yuup. Not kicking bags, but I don't think it's a coincidence that weve been holding the ball in f50 a lot more since he's come in. Far from the worst last night, and playing a role we don't seem to have anyone else that can play. A few others I'd be swapping out for next week before him

    AFL Player #18: Lewis Hayes

    I haven't seen any VFL this year. Would you swap him for Laverde next week?

    AFL Player #27: Mason Redman 🐕

    26 years old and seems to have fallen off a cliff. Needs to be dropped to set an example. A week or 2 in the VFL to find some form

    AFL Autopsy RND 4: Dons Demolished

    Goldstein was a liability tonight too. At least Draper tried a few things to lift the team. Draper was s**t, and his efforts completely dropped off in the last qtr. The issue is, we probably would've done worse with Bryan replacing Draper in this game. Bryan has been underwhelming in the VFL

    AFL Autopsy RND 4: Dons Demolished

    Take the positives and work on the negatives. Positives: We didn't allow port to move the ball as easily from D50 for a shot on goal as we have from games earlier in the season. We finally have a true KPD who can stop strong KPFs kicking bags Negatives: Got beaten up around the ball, midfield...

    Game Day Round 4 - Port Adelaide v Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Friday 5/4/24, 8.10pm AEDST

    Draper has had some great ruck games (and some terrible) like nic Nat did early in his career. We haven't structured our game to cover his deficiencies (like Richmond did for Martin). Draper might develop into an elite ruck (or might not). Harsh to compare a player at the end of his career to...

    Game Day Round 4 - Port Adelaide v Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Friday 5/4/24, 8.10pm AEDST

    Nic Nat was a liability early in his career. During his prime years, West coast set up their team to cover for his deficiencies (became a meme with the volume of s**t posting against WC fans on big footy). Not excusing the poor game from Draper, just putting some context to it. A great coach...

    Game Day Round 4 - Port Adelaide v Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Friday 5/4/24, 8.10pm AEDST

    For all the criticism of Draper, Goldstein has been the one that's looked more of a liability to me. Zero contest in a number of centre bounces some leading to goals. Draper won't ever be a really consistent type ruckman, he's going to be a nic Nat type so you have to wear the good with the...

    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

    IF "Adelaide wanted Clarry and would have given up the farm" THEN Clarry doesn't look good, but how good were Max Gawn and Lever and May, but Adelaide aren't looking good, but I think if they want to play finals they'll need to come good. That's how you do it yeah?

    AFL Player #23: Harrison Jones - God-tier hands

    What boncer34 said. If Harry can play like this week in week out, he helps our structure more than Wright does. Langford and draper provide strong marking options inside 50, we're greatly lacking a marking option to help us move to the attacking half. If Harry provides this, I suspect our...

    AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer

    Generous 1 year contract with a trigger for a second is what I'd be happy with. Don't want to penny pinch with a proven match winner so pay him what he's worth for a year, but we're notorious for giving too long contracts to players who's form falls off a cliff

    AFL Player #23: Harrison Jones - God-tier hands

    Played more like his cousin yesterday. Loved it. 2 goals were great, but I really liked how often he outran his man to give us a marking option up the field

    AFL Autopsy 5 goal loss to Swans

    If the AFL is consistent, that's a week as well as the high hit to Wright after the scuffle had settled after his hit. If the AFL is consistent...

    AFL Autopsy 5 goal loss to Swans

    Agree. Unfortunately neither of them stop the transition goals. Parish sounds like he worked on defensive efforts in the off season, and Rids is a great defender. Need to sort out our defensive structure and/or our defensive running. For ppl that have been at games (I was last week but...

    No umpiring impacting that goal. Strong running from Sydney not matched by us

    100%. No chance after the earlier hit, but looked pretty clear. Langfords not high tackle was bad too

    Surely that's a floodgates goal. So many swans free inside their 50

    First of them back needs to be taking heppells spot. Even if he comes good this season, we can't afford to wait the half season (like last year) before it happens
