Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion thread - 2016 Finals/offseason edition

[new breed]

Sinkers knee troubles , probably that one he hurt at the MCG last year plaguing him .

 

[kane249]

so anyone else not that keen for the GF. Is the first time (probably not the first time) i will probably give it a miss. Next saturday will be the darkest day in Australian sport #silverspooncup

I'm keen still, would be good if the Buddy experiment still can't get the Swans a flag.

 

[The Passenger]

Swans did their damage early though, Cats have been panic bombing into their forward line since. Swans then just hitting them on the counter.

That and Cats don't have a good secondary forward after Hawkins. Henderson and Taylor have had to do a make shift role because the rest is dire.

Cheers. Listening on radio as overseas so it's hard to get full appreciation of the game. Also slipping in and out of sleep due to hangover.

Geelong (hopefully) and Hawthorn are out.
This is worth celebrating in my book.

No academy = no Heeney and Mills playing AFL.

Thats the spin - all clubs have academies but they go into the draft. Not so up here GWS and Swans share 40% of the national population - PS a few reasonable players have come from southern NSW over the years. Like many champs.

I just see 2 teams playing footy, all the wank about afl pets etc is just white noise.

 

[ziad]

Just noticed the Cats have 51 inside 50's to 36. Wouldn't be too many teams lose by 6+ goals with that money additional forward entries.

No run just statues.

What about The Frankenstein that is GWS?

Is that also white noise?

 

[RookiePick]

Hawkins has fallen so far. Really needs to drop weight and get more mobile

thats a minior win.

expect the next 10 or so years to be dominated by the sydney sides. I have loved this game since i first laid my eyes on it but if that occurs, i might even give the game up.

Then you don't actually "love" the game.

Stick fat.

the news around preseason was that he shed a lot.

Green dream for the catters

 

[amazingjoshy]

Joel Selwood is such a freak. Say what you want about his ducking etc, but hes carried the Cats tonight (with Danger). Just hates losing, plays huge games all the time on the big stage.

 

[avishka5]

Stick fat.

i just can't bare to watch a competition where two teams have been propped up by so much. The thing that drew me to the game it self was the evenness of the competition compared to most comps around the world. There was always a cycle.

 

[avishka5]

yeah no thanks. I still rekon their favourites but it will probably awaken the beast that is GWS.

 

[Keys]

A team hasn't lost a home state prelim since .......














Last year

Lol

How old are you?

It still cycles.

Yeah GWS is massive right now, but it last forever.

 

[amazingjoshy]

I reckon the winner tomorrow wins the GF. Swans midfield bats deeper than the Cats (two man team), but Giants and Dogs go deeper than the Swans imo.

An all Syd final would be good to see I reckon.

 

[Cuzdup]

I cant say im at all excited about an all Sydney GF. Might just go fishing

 

[Biggie]

Dogs have Swans measure of late don't they?

Agree with the first para

Disagree with the 2nd

I'd honestly skip an all NSW GF. They have the NRL for that. **** them.
