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

[Hamingja]

I've got something I'm my head about this, going back 2015 when we really never got our momentum going & ultimately missed finals - Michael Luxford made his debut against Essendon at Marvel and around that time I think we were getting that skint trying to field the VFL team in terms availability with top up options, and had to get permission for one or two guys to travel down from like the Murray Bushrangers

I think it was when Knights was VFL coach, they were going through the country football leagues and ringing up clubs that had the bye looking for top up players for the week.

Actually feel them, not so much the club itself, but the players. Tough year.

On a lighter note for us, we could challenge 186 in a few weeks if we're serious and up for it.

We'll probably put the que in the rack early, and polish them off by 70 though.

Not sure about that

When we played them at the MCG we were leading by only 35pts at halftime before running out 95pt winners which is currently the biggest winning margin this year

With the Essendon match being our final home match for the season, with the right weather conditions it could be a thumping win - we'll likely have some guys playing to hold their spot ahead of finals and really wanting to impress

Our average winning margin this season against Essendon, Richmond and West Coast is 70 points, so Kobe Gryant was actually spot on. No correction required.

I thought the same with the WC game last year and saying goodbye to Hawk, but I reckon injury preservation will be the priority that late in the year.

Put a 60 point buffer up at halftime, and just kick it around for an hour after that. Maybe feed Jez for coleman/AA purposes too.

As Mr Meow points out, the idea that we win these games by 40 now is a bit of a fallacy, but I doubt we'll push for that extra 60-100 points if it's not needed either.

Inbetween sets at the gym, I blame any and all typos on my inability to multitask.

Remember kids, post while heavily caffeinated responsibly.

Luxford - good call.. that’s a deep shot from the past.

Had a few flash moments in the VFL but never anything more than that.
Good hands from memory with the basketball background but that was it.

Not all the Cat B free hits we've taken have worked.

GO Catters

My Hubbl is doing me a favour tonight by refusing to load up Kayo so I won't be able to watch tonight's game unless I bite the bullet and flick over to Channel 7.

 

[Lana]

As a DFA, would ask the question

 

[winty]

LOL

 

[Cataholic]

Why is it so hard for an ump to see a ball is OOB when the player takes a mark over the boundary line??

 

[Munich]

Wtf is this non-event at Marvel.

Embarrassing the AFL persist with this Thurs night rubbish.

 

[fpm84]

Giants are Harlem Globetrotters against Geelong.

Trash against almost anyone else.

I see normal service has resumed.

So many teams get up for us.

 

[hoopla]

A bit more gws favoured umpiring for the first goal…and the second goal.

This is scrappy. It’s hard to believe gws beat the cats last week. They certainly save their best for the cats.

And then crap the following week..and not just his year too been an ongoing thing for years and years

 

[Baudolino]

Looking at the run home of the top 9 teams, Freo still look most likely to miss the eight imo.

 

[Lana]

Just want to see Liam McMahon kick a bag

 

[frggr]

GWS must have played their grand final last week

 

[hoopla]

Not much luck for the bombers. They’ve mostly outplayed gws so far and should be at least a couple of goals up. They’ve got a serious case of the yips.

Maybe they're just shit at Marvel

The expected scores of this game up until now would be interesting
