Oppo Camp Non Eagles AFL discussion thread II

[RookiePick]

Ah man. Cripps missed snap would have iced it.

Thought Carlton were going to bring it home there for a few minutes.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Unlucky finish. A few brutal non calls on Plowman cost Carlton the lead, and once they gave it up it was all over.

Still, Carlton are 2-20 in the last season’s worth of games, and they very very nearly handed the Pies an embarrassing loss. This is not the season to melt over close wins I don’t think.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

3 goals to collingwood in the last a 3 blatent free kicks to carlton not paid just before each goal .
Carlton fans would be filthy

 

[ioppolo]

Once Brisbane learn to win on the road they'll be quite the team.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

It’s my favourite non-Eagles game of the week: the Jarrod Harbrow show. Come on Suns.

Appalling umpiring, but Collingwood dominated that last quarter, save for a brief patch where the Blues got those three goals. A win is a win.

Want the same from us tonight. Imagine if we get that sort of free kick count our way though? This site will break that’s for sure. An atomic meltdown to put it mildly

Collingwood deserved to win. I believe the i50 count was 26-5 in the fourth quarter. Umpiring that poor just takes the shine off it. I hate how backmen are treated in this league, have absolutely no chance.

Oh absolutely, fully agree. That non call on Plowman (I think it was) was disgraceful
But then also look at how certain forwards get treated also (the Bearded God)! It is a joke.

This has always been my view as well, remove as many interpretive decisions as possible.

I'd be happy with deliberate out of bounds, rushed behinds and incorrect disposal all being cast aside entirely if it meant we could finally see consistent officiating in matches.

Yep, and get rid of this touched ball nonsense. If the ball goes through the big sticks it's a goal, regardless if it's off the post or touched, as in soccer. No more endless replays on the big screen to see if the ball grazed someone's little finger or the post.
Simplify the game.
Throws are rarely penalized, nor incorrect disposal, so just allow the throw and be done with it.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Harbrow with an ankle breaker early. Bless this man. Should be AA.

 

[Cuzz09]

So a big pack forms at the top of the goal square... the ball is kicked in to the 50... the pack goes up... punched through... for a... GOAL!!

Nah.

GC last week and play Melbourne next week. Need to capitalise.

Also lol at Freo’s revamped highly touted forwardline.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Petracca moving steadily up the most overrated players in footy list. Tex and Jesse Hogan would be nervously looking over their shoulders.

But they are a top four team On the road to the finals. How could that be?

 

[ep2018]

Melbourne are average and they will be coming off a trip to Queensland before coming to Perth off a 6 day break. We are in deep shit if we lose next week.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

In the space of 60 seconds, Hibberd may have done his collar bone, Viney may be on report and Melbourne go inside 50 five on two and don’t score.



Could be big for next week.

Viney is such a dirty sniper. Absolutely sniped Hurn as a square up. Has simply thrown an elbow in this contest.

Tribunal will happily let another favourite son off this week with the Gary Ablett precedent in place.

This league is becoming a real laughing stock with the way it is run.

 

[Cuzz09]

Just looking at that quickly Viney has to get min.3 weeks

3 weeks.
1 week discount for playing for a big Vic club.
1 week discount for belting a nobody from a small market team
1 week discount because he's hard at it "just like his old man"

Free to play.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Melbourne look really good when they go direct and through the corridor. No idea why they’re desperate to play this high volume, short possession game when it’s not at all what they do well.

They do get back in absolute numbers though - next week is going to be a classic defensive slog with JK dealing with three at all times.

 

[Cuzz09]

Reckon next week Melbourne will rock up with Ports dirty ground ball plan v us.

Absolutely. They came in today like they could just bully some kids, and when GC have taken it up to them they’ve gone the biff.

Next week they’ll come in with an attitude of not letting us play and going from there. More power to them, we need to be prepared with a counter.

 

[TY24]

Viney will be fine, wasn’t intentional it was just a footballing incident, contact was pretty minimal. Non issue.

So true. But substitute big Vic club for “Preseason Vic Premiership Contenders” They are no way big. Generations of supporters who saw a powerhouse have sadly departed. Their descendants are in various states of apathy. But as we saw in the finals last year, they do have supporters out there...

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Sam Collins is beasting today. Between he and Plowman, two very good KPD showings in the early games.
