Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2023, part I

[Munich]

That and 30 years of Geelong beltings is the only thing i can think of.

They truly think we destroyed football just to stop them winning more flags.

What do they think we did?

one job Hawks...

one ****ing job.

GO Catters

What do they think we did?

We changed the rules to stop them and help us win.

E.g 6-6-6, Stand, kick out rules etc

 

[Munich]

Saints or baggers?

Saints or baggers?

Blues are due for a big win.

Saints for me but wouldn't surprise me if Carlton won

Oh yeah the Hocking thing.

They are truly deranged.

 

[Gunf]

Hawks have been the better side since quarter time but accuracy is hurting them.

 

[Munich]

I really like Sloane he seems like a gem.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Blues are due for a big win.

They really aren't that good. Saints should prove that today.

Met him a few years ago he is a great bloke

 

[Munich]

It's Baa-ras not B-rass

Great bloke, great family. An immortal in Upwey. His sister is a champion Aussie Volleyballer

Agree

Finally

 

[Vdubs]

Haven't been rapt in either of these teams for a long time, but I think the Saints are definitely due for a flag.

Hawthorn, Carlton, Richmond and Collingwood losses would make this the perfect weekend of footy. Adelaide doing their best to try and screw things up though.

 

[PzBlinky]

I switched it on with 5 mins to go and have watched an absolute crapfest from the Hawks.

If this isn't deliberate tanking, they're going to need a LOT more than a #1 draft pick to save them.

 

[dazbroncos]

Nothing better tjhan seeing the Hawks lose on the buzzer... but they had this one and let it slip.

Useless colours and useless club lol

GO Catters

Not good for our ladder position but the “Poos and Wees” loosing is hilarious

Closer to it than Carlton as they are now generally better defensively and more consistent pressure on opposition with the footy. Carlton just not there they have some pieces but overall there's a flimsiness to them that the genuine contenders each year won't have.

Don't care about ladder position at this point now we're back in form. Much happier with Dawks finding away to bottle it at the death again.

The difference between playing Adelaide in Adelaide and in Geelong is massive. In Geelong I would be disappointed if they laid a finger on us. In Adelaide it would be in the "type of game we usually lose" category.

Fair point, along with the "we always lose after a bye" category of games.

We should have lost that Port game last year too but we turned that around. Same goes for the bye games, both mid-season and pre-final.

That's not to say we're definitely going to beat Adelaide in Adelaide, but considering we're only going to play them this year at GMHBA (with the exception of finals), I'm less fazed about our prospects.

They almost won that by mistake, lucky Mitchell refused to put a player behind the ball for the final few minutes.
Otherwise, they might have lost their position in the Harley Reid sweepstakes

 

[The Casey Cat]

Saints really needed that one after stuffing numerous opportunities. Blues predictably turning their collective noses up as Saints turn up the pressure.
