Oppo Camp 2016 non-Geelong match and general football (Australian Rules) discussion

[Cattery]

I still don't get the whole one-sided concept that we would have been certainties had we played them in the grand final. Then again, this is the Geleong board so of course 99% of supporters are going to have a biased opinion.
Call me a knob or whatever else you want but the fact remains, no team has beaten another team twice in September and Hawthorn have trumped us in the big one just a few years prior.

Geelong 18.11.119
Collingwood 12.9.81

As you say Bob, only the final score matters and no matter how long you agonise over it that ain't gonna change.

Just a suggestion, but don't you think it may be time to let it go, seems like it's becoming an obsession with you.

Call me a knob

You're a knob

I'm not about to overreact and call you a knob but you only have to look back at how convincingly we beat them in the final a couple of weeks prior to realise they were a long way off matching us in 2011.

If we were to have met in that grand final the margin would have been far greater than what we beat Collingwood by based on how meekly they folded in said final.

Gunston wasn't at the club at that point. Roughead was injured for the 2nd half of the season. Puopolo and Bruest weren't the goal scorers they are now.

Nor was Stevic a Hawthorn supporter.

We beat Hawthorn in the Qualifying Final,then Westcoast in the Prelim enroute to the 2011 GF.

Ah of course gosh how easily forgotten. West Coast by 90 odd but Hawthorn gone anyway.

THE AFL has denied four clubs impacted by the Essendon supplements saga the right to recruit top-up players for season 2016.

lol

lol

But it does seem unfair given that they have gifted EFC 12. But then the AFL is never about fairness only about the corporate business of $s, keeping some teams and some players playing. Only have to look at the Tribunal to get that connection.

Lucky you told us it was The Grammys - for a minute I thought it was the GFC getting ready for the upcoming family day.

I know nothing of the Grammys...thought it was prepping for the NBA All Star game originally.

Is it Toronto?

 

[dazbroncos]

Yeah my old man (Collingwood supporter) says Buckley needs to go. In fact at the start he said Buckley had never proven himself and getting rid of Malthouse was a mistake.

 

[James1970]

Do we see the Pies playing finals this year?

Even with Bucks getting a one year extension, I'd imagine it's finals or bust for him by the end of the year.

I'm not sure what to make of the Pies, yes they have slipped each year... but his side plays with intensity and intent, and he has made the team his own... getting rid of the rat-pack/trouble makers.... but they also have basically vanished in the 2nd half of the season the last 2 years

Another bad year though and he could be in real trouble, with Ed being in trouble as well if he has given his love child a new deal that wasn't needed or deserved

 

[Willo_]

So Jeremy Howe has broken a finger and needed surgery... will miss the start of the season.

The official story they went with was he hurt it playing frisbee with his dog.. cos you know dogs can throw the frisbee back and all.....



Already it's leaked out he was playing cricket on the weekend and broke it that way... lol

Mind you, the past two years they've hit the 1/2 way mark 7-4 and 8-3 respectively so if they can keep their momentum this year, with more mature bodies, they'll be a big improver....much like us.
