Oppo Camp 2025 Other Games Rolling Thread

That was probably the best result for us but I still would've taken an Adelaide win

I'll always take best result for us brother.
We are clear now on the top. Just sort out Brisbane.

 

[IlovethePies]

So pi**ed off that Dawkthorn managed to roll Adelaide by 3 points on their pathetic little home ground in Launceston.
But understand that this result actually helps us in terms of consolidating our position on the ladder.

So weighing it up, I'm happy because it means another piece in the jigsaw just fell into place.

Cannot believe the Crows managed to lose that game. The Dawks never won, the Crows lost it, in the first half they were as dominant as any team this year, with nothing to show for it. I think they have them covered when it counts, and they would have been two games clear of them had they managed to win. I think the conditions being so wet had a lot to do with it as well, but missing routine set shots dead in front always comes back to bite you. I rate the Crows as third best behind us and Geelong, and do have the game to beat anyone when they are on. The Hawks however I don't rate.

As an aside, GWS are a big chance to win in Brisbane today, I expect a different game plan on the massive wide expanses of the Gabba, if they bring their A game they can roll Brisbane. And if they don't, its season over.

A lot of people agree as their No. 1 fear is facing Hawthorn in September.

TBH, I'm more worried about Geelong

Yeah, I'm not too worried about a team we just beat by 51 points.

 

[manicpie]

What we saw last night was two very good sides battle it out but neither look a serious threat to us.

 

[Chunky Steak]

I think it's becoming a race in three between Collingwood, Geelong and Brisbane.

The Dogs with a full list including Darcy have the potential to be disruptors too.

I'm assuming from the quality of that game is why the AFL is insisting the Tasmanian team has a roof on its stadium.

Not just a roof, they need to add central heating as well

Was a night game. AFL matches have been played in winter in Tassie for years - without a roof. Could just play Tassie Devils games in the day - or would that compromise the fixture?

 

[satty]

Gws vs brisbane today and brisbane vs geelong next week, absolutely phenomenal opportunity for us to build a very healthy gap from the other top 3 teams. Granted we handle our business against the saints.

Greene out for GWS. Can’t see an upset happening without him

Who’s the bright spark who thought a Tassie night game in the middle of winter would be a good idea?

Probably the same flog who thought Bulldogs V Saints on a Thursday night in June would draw a crowd

The conspiracist in me thinks it’s a way of the AFL showing that a stadium with a roof is a mandatory in Tassie.

The realist in me thinks the AFL are just idiots.

Both can be true

Sack Andrew Dillon. He never gives interviews- he is the invisible man who has overseen a shocker of a year with the worst umpiring, low scoring, unattractive footy, the failure of his sidekick Laura Kane and the Tassie deal looking in grave danger of falling over.

What a disaster.

A Collingwood flag would be the only hope of saving this season from the tag of being in the top ten worst in living memory.

I know I'm repeating myself but the angst is strong. Reiwoldt just said " the game is starting to open up!" with five minutes left on the clock.

I don’t know about sacking Dillon, but if Demetriou has his ear….
Here’s what Wiki has about Demetriou…
Demetriou in 2014 became the Chairman of the Advisory Board at Acquire Learning.[21][22] Acquire Learning entered voluntary administration in May 2017, shortly after Demetriou left the company.[23] Mr Demetriou was sued by shareholders for his part in the collapse, and contributed $360,000 to the settlement sum to stop the Court action.[24][25]

Demetriou in 2018 became a director of Crown Resorts. In 2021, Demetriou resigned after Crown was found by Commissioner Patricia Bergin on behalf of the NSW Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority not to be suitable to hold a gaming licence in New South Wales and specifically found that Demetriou was someone who Crown "would be justified in lacking confidence in", calling his evidence to the inquiry "bizarre" and "unimpressive".[26]

Does it matter where or when a Saints game is played?

 

[jmac70]

How on earth do North get a Saturday night game?

They should be banned from all prime time slots until they win at least ten games in one season.

Like Carlton getting a heap of Friday night games in the run home. Are the AFL on crack or something

No free to air TV on Saturday nights I'd say

 

[unplugged]

Annoyed because I tipped Adelaide last night but we're certainly copping some luck with some results going our way, which of course is only relevant if we keep winning anyway.

That and coming up against teams who have injuries to their key players...

 

[lones37]

TBH, I'm more worried about Geelong

Same, Geelong and Adelaide are the main danger teams, Hawthorn and Brisbane we have covered if we play our best.

I reckon we have Adelaide covered. I think we are better than Geelong but Scott has them believing they can beat us
