No Oppo Supporters 2025 AFL General Discussion

[LukeParkerno1]

I'm fine with the 4 teams. Stand alone. In the Northern market.

The 5th game is a bit of a joke.

That’s the game that’s saving it (will get 80k plus) though should just play the other teams. It does zilch, it’s just adding more byes that are needless

 

[bedford]

I like opening round.
I am kinda ok with the wildcard round.

So there

I like you

 

[The King!]

The afl know enough fans will just celebrate any old shit they do and the rest of us will tolerate it

 

[bloodsbigot]

So we play all year for more than half the competition making finals. What's even the point of regular season anymore?

 

[bedford]

Don't watch then , it's better than the bye round with nothing

So, if you finish seventh, say 3 or 4 games in front of 10th, and you have an off day or kick for goal poorly, it's see you later and the 10th team moves on? How dirty would you be? Bit farcical. Or have I got it wrong?

Well don’t come 7th. Let’s be real it should be impossible nearly to win from 7th. I mean let’s be real here a finals 5/6 is plenty there’s usually 2 complete fillers

Probably as dirty as 5th losing to 8th. But having 10 out of 18 teams in finals cheapens it a bit. Could have waited for Tassie then had just a standalone 8 v 9 game at most, but it's about the money.

Plenty of sports have half the competition play finals...

 

[Dan87]

I like wild card round

You need to understand this shit is a circus and not a competition

 

[Membling]

Pure cash grab.

Only for rubbish teams who have no chance a sliver of hope and keep more people invested for longer. Hate it.

 

[Donza]

Pure cash grab.

Like gather round?

 

[Membling]

Like gather round?

Yup, also dislike that. Just give northern clubs the prime time slots.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Yup, also dislike that. Just give northern clubs the prime time slots.

Totally agree. Give the four northern teams the four best time slots at home against decent opposition. Home for GWS should be a day match in Canberra.
The remaining games should probably be one each in Perth and Adelaide and three in Melbourne.
Byes in a normal rotation.
It ain't rocket science.

Like what? I assume you mean NFL. But what other plenty of sports do this?

Brad Scott likes this.

If we're talking about the play in, wildcard set up. Both NBL here in Australia has 6/10 and the NBA has 20/30 making it to play ins.

 

[bedford]

Fixture out on the 20th the day before the 1st test , just to keep the AFL narrative going before other events

 

[bedford]

For those that had Tanner Bruhn guilty , well he's been cleared as the crown witness has admitted lying
These is a horrible thing to happen to the boy and lost a full year of footy and for those saying it was only the Cats , just imagine if it was say a Gulden

 

[bedford]

AFL confirm Sunday March 8 7 20pm St Scum v Pies as part of opening round

It is wrong but I fail to see why you have so much invested in these particular type of stories.

Tanner should have grounds for compensation here. This has cost him plenty and someone needs to held accountable.

 

[kickthething]

Because too often people assume guilt until proven innocent, the guilty part gets plastered everywhere and for long time, then when the truth is realised, it’s a short, insignificant story that doesn’t get the noise it should.

 

[The Blue Max]

The basic issue with the Bruhn case is the cops couldn’t decide if she was lying or not, so they presented evidence to the Court.

It took a Court process ( as it often does in cases of false allegation) to uncover the truth.

For those who believe the test of truth lies with Police - you're wrong.

 

[Mister B]

We're going to be the first 7-8 placed team to lose to a 9-10 team aren't we? You can just feel it.
