No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 3

Am I imagining it or has Selwood reduced the amount of “shrugging” he does since Clarko called him out.

He did play an excellent game tonight - was absolutely everywhere

Said the same to my wife. Means it is not instinctive, but deliberate.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Teams are falling over each other to the point where even if we lose today we will prob still be top four at the end of the round.

GWS draw was the equivalent of a ‘dumb loss’ - the kind that costs good teams their top2, top 4 or finals spot.

Port are beating up the weak teams and losing to the better ones. Geelong are really hot and cold. So are Adelaide.

The doors are opening for us and Richmond to grab this season. Also, West Coast are somehow top of the ladder without a recognized midfield beyond shuey and gaff.

Winning today and next week would be excellent.

 

[Dave Id]

Bit more percentage .....

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Reckon there’s any chance dees could fire up and knock off the Tigers? Would be pretty sweeet

About as much chance as Norf have this arvo.

 

[Goldhawk]

I wouldn’t be saying that, you might put the moss on us

 

[thejockey]

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the clear reduction in Selwood shrugging last night , thought it was just me !

 

[Dave Id]

Meh, a rolling stone gathers none.

 

[macdaddio]

So Abblett and Hawkins miss games and all of a sudden the Cats look good.

Hope they’re both back playing again soon.

 

[thejockey]

Agree. He hardly ever chases, and rarely tackles. Stood and watched a Port player clear the ball more than once tonight.

They are pretty banking on him kicking 50+ for the year , which he is capable of doing .
Does give opposition a good chance of exploiting him the other way

Apparently his knee allows him 1-2 'efforts' at best

 

[thejockey]

And Port are massively overrated. Funny how trading in Watts and Motlop has done nothing to improve them.

They look terrible , Geelong shut them down way too easily
They added good players but a similar type to what they already had , it hasn't actually improved them as a team

Very weird off season. Them and essendon pulled some odd moves.

His knee doesn’t seem to stop him running to the goal square to get one out the back.

You have to be to attempt to break people's legs you can't break people's legs by staying in one spot, so he had to get on his bike.

I actually missed whatever it was he did there and I’d be surprised if there’s vision considering he won the medal

Yes - and I was happy to give him BOG last night.
BUT - he must be called out for the punch (even though it was a payback) and the kick to the leg.

Sorry 1 effort on the lead and 1 back towards goal !

But he won’t
I don’t think Selwood has ever been called out for his ferocious attack on the “ball” - other than its warrior like.

 

[Sixpence]

How did this become a Goodes thread?!

 

[Pessimistic]

I guess dangerfish is a recorded show. No point cheering for the sharks.

After 5 mins confirmed Danger is a grade A ‘When I...’

 

[Hawkboy62]

A vastly improved showing by the Blues. Certainly showed endeavor this week.

Still think that Carlton board poster who thinks that SOS's drafting of O'Brien and Fischer will be lauded as the jewels in the crown in (Premierships) 17, 18 & 19 may be going a bit early.

Hope we are switched on this afternoon. The round has been far from predictable so far.

Yes all interesting. When you look at the ladder and having some idea of what teams have shown so far I think that the current top 8 teams will be the final 8. It is now a case of jockeying for positions within that 8.

Hawthorn might be the most vulnerable of the 8 because of the team structure injuries we have suffered. If we win today I will give a huge sigh of relief.

 

[Dave Id]

If structure is a problem Clarko would have released The Worpel.

 

[Glenhope]

We have to win today caus we are on fta. I get less angry yelling at the radio than the telly. Also caus Nawf.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I *in hate this time slot. Halfway through the game and the kids start whining for dinner - always miss most of the third.
