Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion Thread

Pavlich is a list clogger and wage thief. Personally don't mind if they keep him on in 2016 - that's dead money which they get nothing for.

If they can lure Schulz across, and somehow limp Pavlich across 40 goals for the season, I suppose he may be worth it in what will no doubt be the last year in their 'flag window'.

Dogs dominating - smashing them at the clearances early.

 

[Forward Press]

The stars are lining up.

- Hawks must travel again and no week off - real chance of not making the GF and if they do, we know how to beat them
- Freo erratic and we will back ourselves against them at the MCG on GF day
- Swans crippled and will have to go back to Perth to play us - if they make it past the semis

The other 5-8 sides should be little threat you would think, either here at Subi or at the MCG.

Never thought number 4 would be this close...dare to dream?

Dogs off to a flyer

Hamstring injury to The Package?

 

[MWPP]

I'm wholeheartedly supporting the crows tonight but wow , the Bulldogs look great! Could give the Hawks a scare next week ....

 

[ep2018]

Stringer done his hammy :/ I hate seeing that.

 

[MWPP]

Yay Betts

 

[ep2018]

SHOOTOUT

 

[Bouq]

Adelaide scoring so easily

 

[Adzam]

Adelaide could be a bit of a threat these finals.

 

[The_Ruffneck]

Hows the level of play compared to the swans/dockers match?

 

[Keys]

It's like watching a pinball game

Complete opposite of the earlier game today

 

[Biggie]

Is Stringer injured?

 

[Adzam]

this game is so much more entertaining

 

[maxamus]

More entertaining but not really finals pressure footy, but shits it good to watch.

 

[Prem87]

I reckon they'll make the grand final.

They'll beat Hawthorn and Freo - both are shaky and struggled to score and will struggle to contain their big forwards. Also their midfield is beastly.

We'll struggle too against them IMO.

Not sure this game is much of an indicator of how they'll go - as maxamus said above, this doesn't look like a finals match. They'll have 10x the pressure to contend with against Hawks or Freo.

Is Stringer injured?

Still out there

Freo will get better as they gain momentum in the preliminary, and will be no easy-beats come GF day. But I agree with you that the stars are lining up. Hawthorn have to face Freo if they beat Adelaide or the Bulldogs. That will be a more bruising PF than ours, save for if we have to play Richmond who IMHO are more dangerous than either North or a depleted/repeatedly travelling Swans outfit.

I can see us playing Adelaide in the GF if Hawthorn don't rally out of last night's funk. Adelaide are capable of applying pressure like we do. And I'd back them against Freo in a tight PF.

Long story short - yes, we should dare to dream/buy GF tickets and organise airfares/a bus/tune-up of the car etc. Any WCE fan with financial means should be organising their trip right now if not sooner.

Agree, the crows are a bigger danger to us. They have weapons we will struggle to contain, like Betts, Tex and Jenkins.

Like we struggled to contain Roughead, Gunston, Rioli, Breust, Puopulo etc...?

Are people here rooting for the Crows or the Bulldogs?

I know the game is irrelevant to our side of the draw, but id prefer Adelaide get over the line, only because i'm sick of Victorian teams dominating the finals every year

 

[DickDunn]

That moment by Dangerfield just showed his class - gets it just outside 50, considers his options and rather than booting it to a contest, puts it on his left and chips it to Knight who nails the set shot.

Bulldogs are an exception IMO. They're the punching bag of Victorians themselves. They're not very troll worthy (like North) and they're a likeable team.
