No Oppo Supporters 2017 General AFL Discussion

[PVF]

I have confidence.

We are the only side tha consistently play well away from home against top opposition.

 

[SilentHunter_]

So to win the flag we'll have to go 18-2.

Jesus...

Bad way of looking at it. Need 4 wins. New season.

 

[Number37]

As long as the umps don't stop us we will win the flag.

Jesus...

When you put it like that..

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

We can include score reviews in that to.

 

[The King!]

Jesus...

Yeah but we already have 14 of those wins

 

[johnnycjay]

S'all good.

I was going through five stages of grief before. Sorry johnnycjay.

Now want tigers to lose. Gives us a bet side in finals match up wise ifwe win through

No problem at all. I as like most AFL nuts are in awe of how consistently hard to beat you are. Suspect Tigers will win well tomorrow anyway.

The only possible fairy tale this year is Richmond.

Same.

Prefer they don't. They should however

We are the only fairytale.

Robbed by the AFL's corrupt umps last year.
0-6 start to the year.
Miss out on top 4 by percentage.

 

[grimlock]

If we play essendon I wouldn't be displeased if we only go in with one ruck and keep the quick smalls in Hayward Rohan Towers cunningham Papley in the forward line

Mate, the AFL bloody hate us. They couldn't give a single **** of how much suffering we go through.

 

[Punts]

Easily the best in it ATM

Coming from outside of 4 will be just a bit hard, al the stars have to align like injuries, form , umpires and luck

We might have thrown a chance to take it with ease if we didn't have the 0-6

 

[Number37]

I realise that, our fairytale is only for us Swans fans. What a fairytale it will be!

 

[Membling]

Interesring debate on main board.

When do you classify a win against a top 8 side? When you are playing them or when positions are done at the end of the year?

 

[The King!]

Pretty good year from port, didnt see it coming,

I think we spend too much time worrying about who beat who imo.

Just win when it counts (or get the umps to help if you are brave)

Played Brisbane and GC twice. One of the easiest draws ever. Will get found out in finals.

Week to week eh?

Think who- and more to an extent how - you beat some one is very telling.

Say we beat adelaide by 30 odd last week instead of 3, would be far more telling.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Only beat who you play,

Yeah but come on. We've played all the top 4 teams on their home ground and beaten them all. Whereas they've just had an easy run to the finals and maybe even top 4. They're not good enough.

Telling I agree, just sometimes we worry about it too much thats all, more about current form and confidence , which you can get back beating a few shit clubs

Oh i think port will crumble, but still think they had a decent year

I hold more stead in beating entrenched top 8 sides after the mid point.

Form has usually been established and the good separated from the bad.

Just IMO.

 

[Jack2Jack]

Never expected to beat Port in a flat track contest, but what was dished up from Gold Coast is one of the more abysmal performances I've seen in professional sport. Absolutely heartless. Seriously what's the point of this club? Why continue forward with it? all the top 10 draft picks in the world and can only muster 5 scoring shots in a whole game. Players don't give a shit, ex-captain could care less about the club....why should any fans give a shit about them or even respect them? Get rid of them and put in team in that might actually give a ****.
