Oppo Camp 2014 non-Geelong AFL match and general discussion

[Willo_]

Shane Savage you absolute shit truck... bugger all time left.. lions get a free deep in the Saints 50 and he throws the ball back about 20 metres over the head of the Lions player.. 50 Metre penalty and pressure off

 

[Moggy]

On the flip side, BT was very good today. I used to absolutely loathe the guy, and have called for his execution on these boards, but he has turned it around.
Less "Big Boy" and much more just calling the footy - which is something I think he has got a really sharp eye for. He often picks up things that the other commentators don't.

Good to have Ling in the box and not riding the boundary. I think he's ahead of Watson now ;-)

This I will not agree with. I want him marooned on a remote island, never to be heard again... Seriously, worse than Bruce as a commentator

Till next Monday night I think.

this is a result of your bias against him not his...

 

[winty]

And what did he do?

Trolling on the Hawks board I think.

 

[manboob]

And what did he do?

Posted some shit on the P&W board I think.

Takes me back. The only two times I've been banned were for trolling on opposition boards - one on Richmond's, and one on North's.

The Richmond one was after we smashed them in '07, and the North one was when someone had posted a picture of the outer at Geelong (they were poking fun at how many ppl wave flags and stuff) and I said something along the lines of "Take a good look at that pic. That's what a crowd looks like!"

 

[GeelongFTW]

ive been blocked from one thread for one week on the dawks board....

 

[Baudolino]

Collingwood remind me of Adelaide circa 2012. They're going to make top four despite posing no actual Premiership threat.

Does he get any fresh water on the island?

IMO, Bruce is not bad at calling the play, but he is so in thrall to the emotion of the occasion, and the reputations of the players (or their ancestors) that he says very little of any interest, outside of that.

Sandy Roberts smashes them all now that he is back calling games

And those ****ing stats always with the stats.

Wouldn't be hard. I think a group of us could do a better job, and we'd know the name of more opposition players than BT too!

 

[winty]

Bloody Saints! Hate going into Saturday knowing you can't get a perfect round in your footy tipping.

And we wouldn't describe a pass as 'chiseling'

whats with caressing?

 

[Moggy]

Watching a likely Freo home win with Basil and Dennis on commentary - think I'll go do some work in the garden...

 

[winty]

Gee, the surface of Subiaco looks shocking! Nowhere near as pristine as Simonds Stadium!

I'm with ya, fwiw I thought at qt in the mcg game I was in trouble, but the dons were rubbish for most of the last 3 quarters.

We get the advantage of the odd drop of rain. WA is a dust-bowl

 

[winty]

22-2. Where's Richie Benaud?

 

[winty]

Gee, the umpiring in this game is very ordinary. Far cry to what it's been like most of the season thus far.
