Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

[woosha24]

I think the AFL might have finally done it, made the game unwatchable. More goals isn't much fun when it's one side doing most of the scoring.

It's been downhill since the 6:6:6 rule was implemented. Coaches should be allowed to set field positions to stop beltings like these. It does nothing for a club's culture to be flogged week in and week out.

Anyone tip Freo over Geelong this arvo?

Anyone tip Freo over Geelong this arvo?

I'm seriously considering changing my tip last minute to Freo.

Got a feeling I can't shake

Freo more than a chance unfortunately. Geelong looked old and slow last week.

The Gary Hocking 14 man flood and a centre bounce

Another blow-out

League has a huge problem here. Most games are unwatchable

This one was. Half a team playing away was never going to be a contest

Im not changing my tips this season after changing to the hawks last week.

There's been 8 games so far. 4 with a margin over 56 already and a 5th was well and truly over by 3 qtr time

Of the other 3, 1 was the shocker on Thursday night (close but terrible), the Pies v Saints game last week which wasnt too bad and the one belter between the Dogs and Lions.

Maybe just a quirk of the draw, but 2 or 3 watchable games a week seems an issue

Longmuir has the sizzlingly bright personality of a dial tone.

Bet he walks around like Charlie Brown.

 

[Boohemian]

Feeling pretty good about tipping the dokers at the moment.

 

[WCErevival]

Looking like another blow out at this stage.

 

[Rowan18]

Geelong look shit. I would love them to fall off the cliff this year.

Yeah, I’m regretting tipping Geelong

Early doors but Freo are looking pretty slick

nearly kicked someone's head off trying to boot it off the ground, play on

Dammit

This is looking a lot like basketball now. Race down your end and you either score, or it will race down their end. Then repeat.

Wouldn’t it be nice

They’ve come up against two rising young sides that have/are exposing their lack of leg speed

Yep same. They play this ground better than anywhere else.

It would be funny to see the blow outs continue to the point where the media start getting an agenda for it and pressuring the AFL to make changes yet again.

not entertaining as it is. My preference would be a cats belting, my non-woke wife suggested the best we could ask for is injuries to future opponents. I know some will be upset by this but its house rules. I draw the line at knees and backs.

I stand by my opinion that the Hocking rule changes ruined the game - both the stand and 666. If you need to stem the bleeding whilst your side is getting run over too bad, go back to your designated zone. So f*cken lame.

 

[Ishmael_]

I'm fine generally with the idea of a score review system in footy - inevitable really with the jump in broadcast quality.

But overturning a great snapped goal for some imperceptible touch is so wrong. It's only ever good if it benefits your team. Terrible for the neutral.

Tattooists in Freo will be getting booked out as we speak
