Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2019

Each year, leading into week 2 of the finals, the footy commentators and pundits overestimate the EF winners, and underestimate the QF losers. Already they’ve written us and Brisbane off, and are talking up a Collingwood/Richmond GF.
Last night, Richmond lost every stat except the one that counts, their phenomenal accuracy demoralised Brisbane, I can’t see them being that lucky/skilful again.

From late in the second quarter until early in the last Richmond absolutely smashed Brisbane. Not entirely convinced it was due to luck. Seeing as they've now beaten them twice in their last two games. Away too, where they apparently can't play.

The only lessons to learn out of these finals is that winners good, losers bad. These two are entirely unrelated and simply exist as independent, irrefutable events for David King to build models that assign more worth to a certain possession depending on which teams earn them.

Well this way:
1) We don't have a bye so don't have to worry about jumped in a elimination setting
2) we would have to play Richmond in the GF so a prelim is no big difference
3) if we manage to get to the GF we'd play a collingwood without Greenwood and potentially degoey.

Oh well if we manage to win the next few games no one can say we didn’t earn it
Still can’t see it tbh

Yeah I love all the collingwood bogans mocking our right to a home game
Just shows how little respect we have in the AFL

GWS could lose their very best finals player in Toby Green, allegedly eye gouging the Bont.
Not much care factor in that game next Saturday, I guess, but that is a massive out for them- bigger than when they lost SJ.
Mummy was very lucky he didn't lose his head several times yesterday- they certainly were on the edge.

He really is a grub. Big talent, but bigger campaigner.

Agree. If he had the brain to just focus on what he should do on the ground, he'd be a superstar. This stuff will hound him always.
Not sure what Q it was, but they were so dominant yesterday. Just so unnecessary.What a tool.

He answered the question ...hardly bitching
Oh ffs.
Why should we care if idiots interpret us standing up for our right to home final as "bitching"? That's on them, not us.
A prelim is a much bigger difference for a few reasons.
Their fans can all get in.
They'd have one foot in the door of a GF spot before the match even started.
We haven't won a prelim in a longgggggg time (for Geelong standards)
A GF meeting against Richmond would be more balanced and anything can happen from there.

Apparently we should be completely fine playing "home" finals at the oppositions home ground with home crowd advantage...
Our comments would have more standing if it didnt seem like we needed the home game to win ... our off the bye and finals record dilutes any comment

And when the figurehead of the club is asked about the issue he should lie and deflect rather than give a measured an honest answer.

Logical fallacy.
No one is suggesting that it makes it impossible to win. Just that playing a "home game" at the opposition's home ground decreases our chances.
How do you not get that?
