Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XIV

[Macca18]

Pies are playing bottom 4 footy at present, as bad as I’ve seen them play in years actually.

Rd 22 seems much more winnable than a month ago now.

Nothing surer than this mob back to their free flowing, high scoring, arsey Steele Sidebottom kicking freak goals best by the time they play us. Every year it’s the same story with them.

Will they win the flag though? Nope.

The overall standard of Footy this year has been average - Few good teams in the competition.

For all the work they have done on the product it certainly has been hard to watch this year.

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or life has changed just when the rules have but I've gone from watching 6 games a week and staying up to date with the news cycle, supercoach etc to barely even watching our games let alone neutral ones.

It hasn't been a good year.

What the **** has happened to Collingwood?

They have a very hard run after this. If they go down here I reckon they miss the 8.

Massive call. They'll stay in touch. Geez it'd be good if they don't, though. Choking wood.

Mason Cox is woeful.

yeah the yank has been found out, hope our lot we're playing attention.

Hate to say it but watching that game last night at times reminded me of, well, watching us.

The AFL can pat themselves on the back again though, another tight finish is proof positive the game is in tip top shape.

They have West Coast in Perth followed by GWS in Sydney the next two weeks.

They will be 6th after that and still sliding.

Followed by Richmond after that & hopefully sliding out the 8. Will be 5 losses on the bounce by then.

More than likely, but atleast we’ll have Clark to sit on Sidey so he can’t have his usual picnic. I’d love to piss on them & consolidate a spot in the 8.

 

[Macca18]

Collingwood’s interstate form has always been a strength. They will cop it (again) this week from all angles of the media.

I would back them to rebound and win one of West Coast in Perth OR more likely GWS in Sydney to keep them in touch. (unfortunately!)

 

[citizen-erased]

Grundy has a bad game. Howe blankets pendles. Pies look terrible

Not hard to stop the pies with the current injuries they have.

Collingwood have only ever beaten West Coast in Perth 3 times. Lost 14 times. I don't think that's good form.

Sadly this is.....absolutely , ******* well ,spot on.

Derm described footy this season really well this morning - it like a cycling pursuit race in that they ride around slowly looking at each other until the last lap when they go all out trying to win.

Pity about the big % boost for the Tigers going on in QLD

They were sitting at about 95% before that so even though it's annoying it's not like they've jumped up to 120% or anything too far out of reach

Go Crows!

so maybe they should stop breaking the rules then?

Or they do get a bad run of it.
