Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 2

[Pollywaffle]

It does. But they're a very good side. When I reflect back, it's the Saints / Blues results which might end up hurting. Two games we should never have lost.

The good thing is top 2 is still very achievable.

2 teams who played their GF against us as mentioned previously. We were poorly prepared and just as culpable in those losses

I think there's value for the matrix when dealing with "football" actions

This isn't a football action and he shouldn't get off lightly simply as he failed to connect with the hit

Good point.

I shouldn't trust Fox Footy shows to know what's what, in hindsight

 

[frggr]

Lyonball is so boring

 

[hoopla]

When the saints play fast football, they’re actually quite good to watch. Unfortunately, they don’t play like this often enough.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Lyonball is so boring

100pts combined in 3Qs. Stain on the league.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Lynch closed fist high intentional

2 weeks you'd think

off the ball - round house punch non football act

Tosser

Go Catters

I think the MRO will fudge the impact up to high here to put it to tribunal rather than face scorn for intentional>medium>high = 2 weeks

Nice to see the Saints turn up against another decent team that isn't us.

Saints realised they weren't playing against us and seem to have returned to normal crapiness.

 

[And_ROOS]

By this point in the match Lynch had more reports than he had possessions.

Wonder if Melbourne go for him. They need a forward, and they love having absolute flogs on their list.

 

[frggr]

Glad to see Clark playing well

Sad it's not for us, but happy for him.

Will Melbourne ask Steven May for his thoughts on Lynch - since they were GC teammates

They could become the newest "Bash Brothers"

 

[Gavin Excell]

Jordan Clarke having an AA season

It's only subtle, but that last centre bounce gave Marshall no hope v Darcy, and Serong got an easy clearance.

Hate the bounce.

 

[Del216647]

Not many get away from us, but [PLAYERCARD]Jordan Clark[/PLAYERCARD] is one. Star player.

I would love to see Lynch and May just getting into punch ups with each other

 

[Vdubs]

Just thought I'd watch a bit of the Tiggs and give them support for a miracle on grass.
They are so bad my eyes are hurting. Suddenly, have to walk the dogs.
What a weekend of shite football.

Going to be similar next week, in theory.

Yeah I reckon it was the pandemic that did it. 2 years where he couldn't get back to see his family or friends - it would have been hard.

No.pandemic, or better federal management, and we'd have Clark and Humphries off the half back


Still, wish him all the best.

 

[winty]

Kudos to the Freo players spending time out on the field with the kids from Starlight.

 

[Play it Sam]

Going to be similar next week, in theory.

At least we have us to break the boredom. Only 8 games left, so will find someone to barrack against in the other games.
Hint; Hawthorn, Adelaide, Brisbane

Hate the bounce.

There was also one early in the quarter in Saints f50 where a Dockers player had prior, got tackled, the ball flicks up in the air and he punches it away with one hand which isn't a legal handball as he was being tackled.

HTB every day of the week, ignored and the Dockers break and get the ball forward and waste more time.

On the back of last nights horrendous passage of play that leaves everyone wondering what the **** prior and HTB is anymore.

This is a really poor excuse, and I wish people would stop saying it.

All the top teams get picked apart, and there is extra motivation to hit them hard. If you can't handle that, then you're not a top side.

We can have a post game showdown between him and May as 5th quarter entertainment..

Like I said .. just as culpable

 

[Baudolino]

Just checked that and you're right, none of the top 9 are playing each other. All 9 games are top 9 team vs. bottom 9 team.

Weird coincidence.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

I know, and I agree. Just don't like in general when posters dismiss a loss against a poor team as "they played their GF against us". It comes across as quite arrogant to think that every team in the comp gets up for us like it's a high-stakes final, rather than it just them being prepared and us not.

And the fact that Scarlett hated him and treated him like crap (apparently).
