No Oppo Supporters 2024 AFL General Discussion

[bedford]

I recall the smug comment from Taylor but it was definitely someone who said we were the worst team for lip service and I just can't remember it being Taylor. I could be wrong of course.

They have also been accused of it

Pivoting back towards footy, does anyone else remember hearing at some point this year that apparently we aren't well-liked amongst other teams because apparently we're the most lippy team on the field?

Sounds like a Dermott Brereton comment that he attributes to an unnamed source and wax’s lyrical. If we are not well liked, I am happy with that. Part of the battle gets won off the field if oppo teams are worried about that.

However, given we can’t remember who said it probably vindicates the status it should receive.

I also think he was full of shit and just trying to rev up the rivalry.

Oh yeah definitely. And it worked against them. They tried it again before the second match by making fun of our 150 year history. It backfired again.

aaaaaand Essendon still can't win a final, even in the women's. Has lifted a little of my post GF gloom.

Turned out to be an ok season the last time we opened a season with the Hawks back in 2005. It was also Buddy’s debut game as well.

As noted elsewhere, they've announced the boys and girls who have been selected for the AFL Academy squads: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1254994/young-stars-named-in-2025-marsh-afl-national-academy-squads.

But did anyone clock that one of the names selected is Wes Walley? Yes, you read that right, WES WALLEY!!!!

I think that might come close to topping Zippy Fish.

If I’m alive to see the next swans Grand Final, no MCG for me, no Bear and Bandicoot either.

Instead I’ll be watching it at the Norfolk and Chance.

AFL must be expecting us to slide in a big way next year to snub us of primetime so heavily.

I wonder if we have a lot of Saturday twilight which seems the new primetime and is much more friendly for crowds in the ground.
