No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

Looking at this Brisbane team has me thinking some creative accounting is happening to fit all those players within the salary cap.
Mind you Gil and the other afl cronies are probably encouraging it.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

I think it’s great. Kids love it. Especially when Charlie kicks one

I do too but I just wish it was Australian music. Getting tired of sweet Caroline goddam.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Hodge

DA DA DUMMMMM

Frozen is the absolute worst

Lions are the most talented team. Can they deliver on the bigger stages?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Haven't noticed Dunkley much tonight. Surprised to see he had 16 touches ATM.

No. I don't think they can. Hahahaha. *edit For context..Port have been well off tonight, and the 4th quarter their match ups look all wrong.

Collingwood and melbourne..know exactly what they do, and bring it. GWS have their tails up.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Fletcher and the 2 Ashcroft’s will keep the Lions near the top for a while. Father Son at its luckiest

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Ashcroft, Fletcher and the next Ashcroft (another top 5) coming through. Brisbane, Sydney and the Doggies have been blessed.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Gee Port have fallen away badly. Their midfield has been smashed, just been out worked and the dam wall has burst.

Don’t give a **** about the jingoism - but Sweet Caroline is a Red Sox thing and it annoys me when other teams/sports co-opt it.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

They’re playing as well as Brisbane are letting them. Brisbane have comprehensively beaten them around the park despite Port getting a dream run with umpiring.

Brisbane finally don’t look mentally brittle in September. I wouldn’t want to be playing them at the Gabba in 2 weeks time.

Country road same thing. NFL and European football.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Brissy winning so well whilst Neale had a quiet game bodes well for them.

Eh I don’t mind that one so much because it’s Cameron’s favourite song.

 

[Hodgey 15]

I reckon we're going to get another Brissie v Pies GF.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I reckon we're going to get another Brissie v Pies GF.

Could be another Port/Collingwood prelim like 2003 also.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

I reckon we're going to get another Brissie v Pies GF.

Would be fitting ff the Lions salute against the team that helped them threepeat. Would legit laugh if it happens. They would live rent free in Pies fans heads forever.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Know a couple of Port fans. Both been sent some Country Roads via audio messages on Whatsapp.

 

[TylerDurden]

No doubt about this.

Does Gunner get back for it?

 

[spudmaster]

No doubt about this.

Does Gunner get back for it?

Hoping he gets back for the prelim to get a run-in before the GF.

 

[Bugs1977]

No doubt about this.

I’ll allow it as long as he wins the Normie. This way he can be officially certified as Norman Gunston

Again - the entire passage of play lasts 2 seconds from the time he leaves his feet. Everything looks terrible in slow motion. Everything looks possible in slow motion. Count out two seconds and ask yourself if Maynard in that time can try for the spoil, realise he can't effect the spoil so actively decide to correct himself, and hit Brayshaw head on with sinister intent. Personally I am willing to side with footy related accident .

Watching anything in slow mo is good to tell you what happened, but regular speed is reality.I’ve seen this way more at regular speed because I’m a realist. Most footage shows it at the speed it happens, a bunch of on field reaction stuff…. then the slo-mo on a decent delay with a lot of 'Wowee.. but nothing to see here!' from commentators.

I think the thing to consider here is how wide open a guy kicking long is, and whether any contact once the ball has left his boot is within the rules just based on where the ball is.

Guy also misses the ball by a mile, then flushes Brayshaw in the head with a lowered arm and dropped shoulder.

In any contest on the ground that last point alone makes this a report.

That the ball is 20 meters away is just something else going against it.

Little chance.

Nice and quiet at work next week.

This year is different I was assured.

No it ain't
