Oppo Camp General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 5

I think the ladder has now pretty firmly settled into it's "groups of 6".

Tier 1: Nobody
Tier 2: Lions, Cats, Eagles, Pies, Tigers, Giants
Tier 3: Hawks, Bombers, Crows, Power, Bulldogs, North
Tier 4: Dockers, Saints, Swans, Blues, Demons, Suns

There isn't a standout team this year again - Pretty much anyone in Tier 2 is chance to win it all - 10-20% each. Tier 3 has a couple of absolute long shots (1-5%).

Lions have made HUGE strides this year - but I fear they will stumble at the final hurdle.
Cats, Pies, Tigers are all beatable on an off-day.
Giants don't have the gameplan or backbone to fight out a tough final
Eagles.....have to win in Melbourne? Struggling to find a reason against.

Hawks - have to win five games in a row - Eagles (rd.23), then four of the top 6, likely with 4 interstate trips. (WA, QLD, NSW, WA again).

If you guess kane cornes had no hawks in his team of of the year youd be correct

Let's be fair though, he's probably right. I can't see any Hawks making it this year to be honest.

Only Henderson but faded out a little in the second half of the season

 

[Buzz Hawk]

We had no AA's in our premiership year of 1991.
Just sayin..

Who would you have had in and who do they replace

 

[Brant]

Who would you have had in and who do they replace

I haven't seen the list but I'd happily match James Frawley's season against any other FB.

 

[Pessimistic]

I think tigers v eagles right now is the way we want to see modern football played

Lets hope theres none of it at docklands this afternoon


I wonder how many hawks are having a look at west coast this afternoon?

 

[Buzz Hawk]

So do we hope for a strong win by the eagles today and a let down next week against us?
Probably can't see a let down from them next week regardless, they're a professional outfit and we're at the pointy end of the season.

 

[Geelongsuck]

Uh yeah no ******* way we are knocking off eagles in Perth.

 

[Pessimistic]

Its unlikely, we just want a good showing I suppose

 

[Hawkboy62]

Wet Toast looking ominous! Tough and skilled! Off to the Tigers game day thread.

Ha Ha!

I’d actually prefer to play them after a big win. They may get complacent

 

[Off The Couch]

Frawley is highly underrated throughout the league including his own supporters

Sicily?

 

[TylerDurden]

Could they rest a few?

 

[thejockey]

That is the best 1/4 I’ve seen for the season especially when you take into account a decent opposition .

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Sicily?

Not sure about that either. He's had a good year but there are other intercept marking backmen as well.

 

[thejockey]

And the Tigs come back , cracking game

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Not sure about that either. He's had a good year but there are other intercept marking backmen as well.

Like?

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Like?

Has had a better year than McGovern, only has to fart though and the media fawn over him. While he is still playing at a decent level and the eagles are contending he will have that position in the AA team as his own for a while yet even if he isn't the best player in that role.

 

[Off The Couch]

Like?

Harris Andrews

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Like?

If it's a choice between Sicily and McGovern, they'll go for McGovern.

 

[Pessimistic]

Eagles can switch off for periods as much as the next team. Can hold up in defence though

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Harris Andrews

Andrews will be FB
