Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

[braddsey]

The comparison with us in 2019 that was mentioned in this thread last week is a good one.

In 2025 Adelaide had to 15th hardest fixture (based on 2024 ladder positions). They jumped from 15th to 1st on the ladder.
In 2019 Brisbane had the 16th hardest fixture (based on 2018 ladder positions). We jumped from 15th to 2nd on the ladder (on percentage).

both clubs out in straight sets...
(though our semi was a 3 point match decided by a couple of GWS throws).

This finals series couldn't have gone any better for Victoria.

Why do the bad guys get to win?

At least we put up a fight in our semi final

 

[martinson]

Shocking goal line error there by the Hawks.

Take it through ffs.

 

[M Malice]

Game over, a comeback from the Crows would have to be nearly on the level of ours v the Giants in last years Semi Final.

 

[martinson]

Far too easy.

Very poor performance by the Crows this finals series.

still two interstate sides in it. one will make the prelim!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Gunners unstoppable
6 uncontested marks inside fwd 50

I've been impressed by the Hawks tonight, although like our game against the Cats how much is down to them being good is due to how bad the Crows have been is hard to know.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Keays has had 2 effective disposals in the last 2 quarters combined.

That's the thing.

I never bought into them , though you'd think with 2 home finals they'd put up a better showing than this. Look second rate tonight , sloppy ,no real system , not much run.

Too busy writing sonnets

Well played.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Keays has had 2 effective disposals in the last 2 quarters combined.

Unfortunately has reverted to how he played for us under pressure

 

[Bucking Beads]

The Crows have completely imploded in the finals

 

[Nathan Barley]

Never really thought Hawthorn was this skilful

 

[M Malice]

Did I hear that right?

Crows will be the first minor premier to go out in straight sets since 1983.

 

[Nathan Barley]

How do they not pay that Keane throw?

 

[Big Sauce 21]

This is giving me 2019 vibes

 

[Nathan Barley]

This is giving me 2019 vibes

How?

We played well in our semi

Also had more scoring shots and inside 50s than Richmond in our qualifying final as well

 

[Saucery]

This finals series couldn't have gone any better for Victoria.

Why do the bad guys get to win?

So, they can write a sequel

 

[martinson]

Umps make some horrible mistakes don't they.

North Melbourne finished on top in 83 and went out in straight sets. That was in a final 5. This is against the team that finished 8th.

The fat lady can now start singing.

 

[Elixuh]

Apparently you’re not allowed to mention the crows power stance on the mainboard. Pretty odd.
