Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

[DorothyG]

Adelaide finished 15th in 2024 so they were always going to get an easy draw for 2025. It's Geelong who were gifted....they played in a Preliminary Final in 2024, so going by how the AFL do the draw for the following year...the higher you finish the previous year the more difficult the fixture for a tram should be. Instead Geelong played quite a few weak teams twice. Not sure what the AFL were thinking..

Oh yeah 100% agree. I think the system of theoretically splitting the ladder into thirds and that's who you play twice is fair.

We will see how Adelaide hold up now in the finals, but you can't deny the fact that although they have had a fantastic year, it has been handicapped immensely by the draw.

Geelong on the other hand, no idea. Perhaps the AFL didn't see port not nose diving this year and essendon have a season from hell regarding injuries.

Taking Port Adelaide out of it....Geelong would of still played 3 weak teams twice...thats still too much.

Hawks have a game that will upset many on here

 

[Cuzz09]

Its at the point now where it'd be funny if Hawks won the flag

 

[Bender_]

No way Dockers can win tomorrow with one of the all time great from the Dogs is retiring:

Today's 2 later games promising to be back to back epics, let's hope they deliver.

Giants vs Saints looks like it's going alright as well.

 

[ioppolo]

GWS pissing away a home final if this keeps up.

They'll be fodder for any of the top 4 regardless.

 

[Farang83150]

Would love Windhager at WC, bl00dy good player.

 

[Monocle]

Just been down to the shop and got a few things to help me have an enjoyable afternoon.

Now I'm about to stoke up the fire in the front lounge and warm the room up.

After which I will put on my new footy gear and put the pies in the over, might just have pre game drink .

A few pies there, you having Vozzo over or something!!

No I'm very strict and disciplined, the rule is simple only one pie per beer, so I have more beers in the fridge and Mrs Monocle is baking more pies as I type.

Saints have finished the year well, would be pleased if they win this and keep the ladder interesting.

Some good incentive when NWM made his announcement maybe, would be nice if we'd got something similar to gee the club up!

Yeah would disagree with what Del Santo said, they have heaps to play for this game. They are trying to attract players to the club, re-sign key players who are at the end of their contracts. Win today and its 5 in a row plus the NWM thing, its massive for them.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Cracking game

 

[sharps24]

Ah well. Would have been nice to get a touch out of your 2 million dollar man in the 4th but can't be greedy.

 

[Woutizmoo]

What a ripping game. Hopefully the next two are live up to the bill

Fully committed to 10hrs of afl footy today

 

[Mr Eagle]

GWS can still make the top four... if Brisbane - Hawks is a draw.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Nuts. Part of me hopes for that for the lols

 

[DickDunn]

Sam Darcy better at ground level than any of our midfielders bar Baker

 

[chaddy22]

maybe the pieman

 

[Farang83150]

Great mark

 

[Lia]

Busslinger looks alright although need to see more defensive work

 

[Astro7]

Great game, fast and furious, split second decision making..

 

[Farang83150]

Between Libba and Jackson there's some shocking looking tatts on display out there!
