Oppo Camp 2025 Other Games Rolling Thread

Essendon look like a VFL team. The decision making and skill level is putrid.

They should at least try to tackle hard.... but nope.

 

[jmac70]

Yet against the pies they played out of their skins for 3/4. They chased, grew another leg, pressured, hit the front. Like all teams who play Collingwood this year. They seem to think a win against the pies is worth 8 premiership points.
Adelaide, Carlton, Essendon, Freo, North, Melbourne, and next week it will the Saints turn for their GF against the pies.

Alos, who is doing a hard tag on Baily Smith? No one, why because only Nick Daicos is afforded that much attention every week.

We didn’t tag Bailey Smith either.

Commentators should look at Lions and see what NOT peaking too soon looks like!!

 

[DWil6]

Smith 31 touches 24 uncontested 7 contested. If that was Nick…

and lots of 1-2s

The good news is that the Cats get to play the Bombers again, Richmond twice and North.

If true, that is ridiculous. The easiest draw every year and the toilet training media and Collingwood haters keep going on about the number of games Collingwood plays at the MCG.

Cats finish top 2. If we falter, they’ll finish top. Great run home.

Good for us that they play some soft games.

 

[BillyElliott]

Yes, hopefully it gives them a false sense of security and they think they're better than they really are

They play rich in round 17 and then again in round 24! This years draw is beyond cooked. Finalists from last season getting one let alone TWO double up games against any of rich, north or eagles is just complete bs.

The double ups we got against bottom 8 teams as a team that missed finals are Freo, Melb, and adel..

They play Richmond in round 17 and 24.

Yep. We can’t afford any slip ups.

 

[jmac70]

All going well, we won’t play them until the grand final.

It’s farcical

Bailey Sniff just running around by himself yet again.

Yeah but we play bulk of our games the G and don’t have to travel much

Running at 58% efficiency. Lloyd was right

 

[BillyElliott]

Cats travel interstate twice more. Same as us.

Never seems to get tagged. Will we see a Langdon like tag on Smith, at some point? I don't think so....

 

[CheckerTrade666]

of course this is one of the few years that we only play Essendon once

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

If true, that is ridiculous. The easiest draw every year and the toilet training media and Collingwood haters keep going on about the number of games Collingwood plays at the MCG.

Cats play Bris, Rich, GWS, Stk, North, Port, Ess, Syd, Rich (Teams 1, 2, 4 and 5 in 2024)
Pies play StK, WCE, Carl, Suns, Freo, Rich, Bris, Haw, Adel, Melb (Teams 5, 7 and 8 in 2024)

SO when the fixture was fixtured, I wouldn't say the Cats were gifted an easy run home.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

This season has seen teams already fall away badly. Usually you see teams who can't make the 8, become practically non competitive around rounds 18/19.
This season we're only midway through the season, and already some teams (eg. Essendoom, St Kilda) already look shot....

 

[Jafo]

I still think Cats will worry us in the finals.

Lions, Crows, Dogs, GWS also in that mix.

Richmond twice within 8 rounds.
Explain that one.
