Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

[DorothyG]

Anyway...

3 losses for the 3 detectors.

 

[ziad]

The only Frampton I have time for is Peter. It helps having a cool head like Pendle's. Made the difference is a scrappy game.

 

[Goroyals22]

Jfc 77 touches between the Daicos bros.

We struggle to get one guy to 20 most games.

Even if they are are all "cheap" touches, letting 2 guys do what they like is going to hurt any game

Cornes already with the dumbest take of the year saying the Uwlands were the best brothers in the comp

 

[Keys]

Average score per game through first 4 games - 207

Enter Ross Lyon

Combined score of 144 points

He’s such a ****ing barnacle on the game

 

[Shuestar13]

And tipping fail number one for the season (first of many no doubt). Tipped Saints, had a feeling re Collingwood so changed to them, but then second thoughts so changed back.

Ah St Kilda, bless em

 

[WCE777]

Does St Kilda have a full forward or what?

Watching undersized Owens and Sharman has been painful.


Ohhhh Max King

TBF their inside 50 kicking was woeful and peak JK couldn't have marked anything tonight.
STK lost that game with its kicking decisions forward of centre.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Saints showboating their b-grade recruiting spree to compliment their existing B graders.... still lose.

To be fair TDK was one of their best players that game.

Ryan meh.

Silvagni decent.

Flanders meh.

If we had two dudes collecting 35+ touches regularly, we'd all be glazing them, regardless of how they got them

 

[Cuzz09]

Tipped Pies. Saints seemed flavour of the month.

Melb v StK will be interesting next week

 

[WCE777]

Neither STK or Collingwood are top 4 teams and probably around the bottom of the 8.
Decision making won that game and neither were inspiring.

STK will probably win more games than Collingwood with better kicking forward of centre.
STK could play better, Collingwood at virtually full strength.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Saints DNA runs deep.

Instead of being an ok but not good enough side, now they’re and ok but not good enough side with some good marketable acquisitions.

Just get rid, honestly. So many jobbers out there who show enough flashes to keep teasing their fans that they’ve finally buried the draft demons, but they’re just all spuds.

Just one more i50 kick to the boundary Ross, just one more. Next one’s gonna catch them out mate, just try it once more.

 

[Dark Sharks]

That non HTB on Maydick at the top of the goal square could've changed the game.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Not a hellfire hot enough for Collingwood lifers.

A howler, yes, but after the Ryan miss you sort of are in make your own luck territory.

Yeah think both Saints and Pies will be amongst those battling for the two new wildcard spots

Sydney, Gold Coast, Bulldogs and Brisbane all came as advertised as sides likely to be at the pointy end of the ladder. Carlton also but towards the other end

GWS surprised me as they didn’t struggle like I thought they would with so many out. If they can hang on early doors, then they might be a threat later when some players return

Geelong and Hawthorn would both be disappointed with their respective performances but too early to draw conclusions on either yet

Whilst not disputing your comment.

I think "The Aints" got pretty well looked after tonight by the tossers in green.

That's ok, just another 13 left at the G this year and 6 more trips out of Melb to go

Must say I agree with all that and where you have teams ranked

 

[ghostbat12]

Interesting game. Saints win inside fifties by a margin, contested possessions and clearances. Twice as many inside 50 tackles and win free kicks. But still lose the game.

There was only 2 goals in it ,I don’t think you can write off after Rd1 ..

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Think the Saints ought to have won that, some really easy misses in the second half let them down.

happens a lot

Don’t expect the Pies to be living at the pointy end either. They just looked so devoid of the brain cells required to work through a tight game.

 

[Cuzz09]

Well thats opening round done.

Let's hope its the last but everyone hates it so the AFL will naturally keep it as is there way.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Ryan, Allen and Chesser 0-3 this weekend.

Been saying for a while they were the issue…flag imminent.
