Oppo Camp 2016 non-Geelong match and general football (Australian Rules) discussion - Part II

[Shell]

Aargh crap love the doggies but only gws would beat sydney i reckon.

Dont want a swans flag.

Nah i reckon either team will/would lose to Sydney.

I ****ing hope I'm wrong.

Classic Stevie J influence on this game. Would have been the game winner but turned out to be a massive absence, was always going to be one or the other.

Just for a little perspective:

 

[Catman]

SJ would have been handy....

 

[dangerwood]

* you GWS, * you AFL!

Doggies!

Wish Bevo was our coach!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I hope this burns a fire for our guys too as with respect to the doggies they arent an outstanding side but they are tougher and work harder in game than we do.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I think Darce is happy right now.

 

[fpm84]

Nice work Stevie J.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

wHAT a BLOODY BEAUTY - the build up to this GF is going to be massive

That last qtr was nerve racking

 

[Liger]

Was Stevie J at the game? Didnt see them cross to him?

 

[Scottland2007]

Also to play the pot stirrer... Stevie J cost the Giants that win

A dumb suspension... the player who replaced him in Palmer made some massive blues that cost them the game

Does this mean Stevie J goes missing in big games?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I blame the extra bye.

Yeah without the bye they were no chance in perth. Good team though.

2 prelims and couldnt get the job done. Dogs do it in one go.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Don't think I've seen a better final

 

[Catman]

Neither Grand Finalist had a week off once the finals begun.

 

[Liger]

Chased the Doggies on the live bet everytime GWS got ahead - 4.50 at one point in the 3rd qrt.
Never lost faith in them!
Doggies can win it next week. AFL grand final survives what could have been a disaster.

 

[Boxhead_31]

I think Darce is happy right now.

Darc lost a few litres at the end.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Will Minson to come in for Roughead?

 

[Spazz Cat]

Seeing Libba in the stands nearly bought a tear to my eye.
One of my all time fave players.

Was there for the 1997 prelim.

Do it for those guys and yourselves... and the whole of Victoria who are behind you lol.

 

[DangerHere]

What a great game, go Doggies, up yours "plastic" GWS

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Neither Grand Finalist had a week off once the finals begun.

They had one before the finals, though, which was enough. The pre-finals bye was a mistake. It took the advantage of rest that the QF winners received away and it put them at a further disadvantage by limiting their amount of real match experience to one game in almost a month. Basically, the perfect preparation for PFs was given to SF winners while those top 4 teams who won in the first week were placed at a disadvantage.

Not that I think that's why Geelong lost. Geelong were thoroughly outclassed. I think it had an effect here, however, and the fact that both QF winners lost in their PFs is telling.

* the pre-finals bye

 

[Shell]

Now settle down guys. Havent won nothing yet.. settle and get in the ice bins.

 

[Seeds]

That right there is why SJ was cut loose. Cost his side when it mattered most.

Did he even get suspended in a final at geelong? Or did Chris Scott have a fortune teller that told him he would be suspended for the 2016 prelim? Enright got suspended in a qf. Should we have cut him in 2013 for not being there when it mattered?
