Oppo Camp 2025 Other Games Rolling Thread

Prefer a Brisbane victory so the entire AFL community can get behind tearing down their academy.

Rather not have Geelong “overcome the beast” and have their smug supporters talk about how the academies don’t matter and how we all just need to get gud.

Oops! Misread that one then a holding the ball decision on Smith from 40 out as ball is kicked through goal posts. Free kick Zorko and Smith flips it giving double 50. Zorko kicks winning goal 30 metres out after siren.

I'm not sure I'm keen on Zorko being the hero.

Most controversy though (personally I wouldn’t want Zorko either). Reverse, I wouldn’t want Danger, Smith or Ollie Henry to win it off their own actions.

 

[Vicky Park]

I’d like to see Zorko take a swing and a miss at Danger and instead take out Rayner, breaking his hand in the process, whilst Danger in the act of ducking under the fist, flies headfirst into Smith and takes them both out!

That sounds like us in the 1970 GF.

Maybe not quite…

Is there really a game tomorrow?
who cares
next!

I'm in offseason mode since yesterday. NFL underway, Cricket and Tennis on in Asia plus Euro Football

Actually, I'd like to see one of the teams build a 50 point 1/2 time lead and then lose.

It would be nice to see something like that. A historic choke job would be a nice complementary piece of schadenfreude to the Carlton 60-0 game

The AFL continue to sink to new lows.

I'd love a club to say, no we don't have any songs we want played.

It's so cringey.

Jesus ****ing christ. Call me a boomer, but this has made me absolutely livid. It is so infantile that we can’t let moments like goals speak for themselves - gotta keep the short attention spans compelled!

Why is the AFL hellbent on becoming the Big Bash League?

Because Dillon is a dill.

I thought it was a joke at first.

This is the GF. It's not a freaking Lions home game at the Gabba. It's bad enough having to hear songs at other games.

I don't know why the roar of the crowd isn't enough. It's pissed me off too.

Because the AFL have to justify the 200k they're no doubt paying to some spiv with a wank title like "GM of fan and game day engagement". Saw the highlight of Twiggy Dunn roosting a torp to draw the 77 GF and had no follow up narcissistic carry on. Makes me miss that old Australia without all the US infused crap we are subjected too now.

Yes. American sport esque tacky sh*te.

The primal roar of the crowd after a goal is a hallmark of our game.

I just rolled my eyes so hard they just about ended up all the way back home in Adelaide.

The worst was in our prelim, I was unfortunately stuck next to the Lions fans. They would sing some of the players' songs after goals (namely Bailey).

Just cheer ya dickheads!

I was at the end of AFL members just nearby to that pocket and could hear them too.

It did not spark joy. Salt in the wounds

 

[Go Woods]

I'm going for the Lions tomorrow, Fly & Leppa surely have a soft spot for them tomorrow naturally being three-peat premiership lions themselves.
Can't stand the 3rd party hand out Cats, so hoping they lose their 2nd GF in 5 seasons.

Shepmates have put up a skit on their instagram page. Late change in the umpires…. Quite funny, got no clue how to upload it!!

Looks like I'm going tomorrow.

Won two tickets to the game at tonights AFLW game. I forgot they were giving them away, until I saw my name on the screen.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I'll watch it tomorrow as I always do, but I'm just not emotionally invested in preferring one team over the other.

If Geelong wins, it's just more of the same we've seen over the past 18 years. Just solidifies that they've been the best performing club in the 21st century thus far.

If Brisbane wins, then it's probably the start of a dynasty with Allan, Draper and one of their top 5 academy products still to come. The silver lining at least would be we still remain the last Victorian club to win the flag under this scenario.

Either way, hopefully we get a close game for once. Haven't seen a close Grand Final not involving Collingwood since probably 2016. The rest have been blowouts.
