Oppo Camp 2014 non-Geelong AFL match and general discussion

[Hot Tin Roof]

i find it a bit weird when ppl call western bulldogs ''footscray'' considering i only started following footy in 05 and growing up in tas i wasnt exposed to the actual suburb.

i dont know why i felt i needed to share that.

You write well for a 8-9yo

2013 Qualifying Final for me.
Was EXTREMELY angry and even after bad loses (inc. Grand Finals) I'm usually just upset/sad/frustrated but never angry.
I was that night, luckily when leaving the ground no freo supporters tried to give me s**t

 

[manboob]

See I knew we were out of that match not long after half time so whilst disappointing in the extreme at least I could mentally prepare myself. Plus having a next week helps.

If Ross Lyon could design a ground to suit his style of play it would be Kardinia Park.I wasn't surprised at the result.

Don't care, it is OUR home ground.
We shouldn't have rested Hawkins and even if they did playing Walker was the wrong decision (West in, Vardy forward).
We beat them easily down there earlier in the year.
Everything was setup for the Cats, final at home, easy prelim against a beaten up Swans then finally meeting our nemesis in the GF.
We got a free in front of goal before the ball had even been bounced.
Crowd was nuts and the atmosphere was palpable.
Then we get to a quickish lead.

And blow it.

I cried a lot.

After the WCE loss in 06 and I nearly broke the radio.

Home and away losses sometimes get to me pretty badly. Couldn't stand the way we lost to Brisbane or the Crows last season

Agree on the Brissy one.

Was pretty pissed after that match.

But the Final against Freo at the Cattery pissed me off more.

 

[BlitzenTrapper]

Yep, the Brisbane game was a shocker. I remember myself, my brother and my old man were going absolutely ballistic in the living room. Just after the siren went dinner was served and the three of us sat the table like a bunch of miserable sad-sacks not saying a word, while all our guests were awkwardly quiet. You could cut the tension with a knife.

Fun night.

That bloody McGrath always cuts us up. If he's not kicking them, he's up the field causing us headaches and getting involved in their scoring involvements. He's been around for so bloody long but he's very much been their barometer in recent seasons.

Aker always seemed to kick great goals & save some of his best for us as well!

Aker was just great. Many opposition if not all would say about Aker what you said.

Yeah he could play! Was a goose but could play.

I remember one game at the Gabba when he kicked an amazing goal near the boundry, i thought i was pure luck with him repeating it by doing it again the same game, probably an even better goal than the first!

My conclusion was it was no fluke, it was skill.

 

[Catatonic Shock]

Aker is a Champion of the game no doubt.
Yep is a tosser but was a bloody great player.

I kicked and punch the crap out of my couch that night, safe to say I wasn't very happy.

Why dude?
Why?!

Because of reasons.

Akermanis is little underrated today isn't he?
Brownlow medalist, 2 x B&F winner, 4 x All-Australian, not listed on the web page but didn't he also get the norm smith medal in 2003?

It's a shame but most players usually play for too long when their form declines to the point of a forced retirement.
He wasn't the same player at the Bulldogs even though he still kicked plenty of goals, just didn't have the same swagger and breath taking speed imo.
