Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[Priddis Is Done]

Ridiculous carry on from the Pies here. Scraped through by a point after a fortnight off playing on their home deck in front of 90k+ feral fans.

Hope the Giants can bottle the finish to this season and give it a red hot crack next season

If I was GWS, I'd be moving heaven and earth to get a power forward to partner Hogan.

 

[The Passenger]

Every prediction I've made about this game, on and off BF, has been wrong so just gonna put on public record that GWS are cooked here.

FFS!!

Although to be fair I was actually thinking giants had hit the wall and pies would win by 4 or 5 goals, so I kinda got that one wrong too

 

[Monocle]

Sheeeess I thought the Pies got very well looked after by the Ump, with the non calls against the Pies players.

Was a great game and cracking finish.

I don't give a flying* who wins it now, normally I would be rooting for the Inter State Team but this Brisbane Unit has was too many campaigners in their team, for me to get behind them.

Pick 15 for Jack Darling?

 

[Eddie_Sandbrah]

Most invested I’ve been in a non-Eagles game for a long time. Absolute cracker.

This is the best finals series I've ever seen. Nearly every match has been crazy good.

If you like close games then yes, but overall the standard of footy across the league in general has been way lower than previous years in my opinion

Give it a couple of years and they should have one

My mate has the same attitude with Brissy. I guess I overlook the Hipwoods and Zorkos and back the Neales and Andrews.

Also, stuff the VFL. Since 2006, there have only been 2 non Vic premiers (us and Sydney), which is an absolute disgrace considering how many GF have featured a non Vic team.

There was a period of 10 minutes of keystone cops in the Dee's v Blues game, but the intensity was awesome.

Yep -this was the only final where I thought both teams went 100% without doing too much stupid stuff. Melbourne and Port were woeful this off season which ruined those finals. Saints and Sydney shouldn't have even turned up.

I suspect Lions will absolute decimate the blues.

Yep, that Collingwood Melbourne final was an atrocious standard for 1st v 4th and only interesting cause the margin was close.

Tonight's game, however, was very good and several rungs above that one.

 

[Keys]

GWS unlucky but they gave it a genuine crack

Lot to like about the way they play

Go Brisbane because I don’t think I can get through a week of vics self-flagellating over a Carlton v Collingwood GF.

The first week of the finals was well below average but since then has been very good outside of goalkicking

 

[KBLT]

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

Thought Hogan had one of the best 1 goal games by a key forward in a prelim. Did a lot of work up the ground that doesn’t go on the stat sheet, unlike a cheap kick in the back pocket like some people

 

[Mr Eagle]

Aw fudge.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Kinda want it to be Carlton v Collingwood as the fallout between winners and losers should be epically entertaining, so much so that the winner doesn't really matter for everyone else. It's kind of what we missed in 2019 when GWS made the GF.

Brisbane v Collingwood only works if Brisbane win, but even then I hate Chris Fagan and don't care for Brisbane at all. But them winning would be great to just shitpost against Collingwood fans for the months. But if Collingwood win then they'll all be insufferable campaigners for years led by chief campaigner Eddie Mccampaignerface. The world is only a better place if they lose grand finals.

 

[ioppolo]

Whoever wins tomorrow wins the grand final. Calling it now. God do I hope that Brisbane go all the way now.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I don't care that much, but Carlton would be the preference.
The most unheralded team with their first time in the finals for 10 years.
Also don't want to the Pies or the Lions to win the flag.

 

[ep2018]

I bet you eeyore in real life.

I use Bigfooty to vent what I keep inside in real life. There are a small handful here that know who I am in real life but for the most part I appreciate the anonymity this board brings.

Be careful what you wish for. Very careful

You haven't had much experience with Carlton fans I presume.

 

[Duggo81]

Unfortunately for the Giants they left there run too late in the season and even then they still nearly won against all odds.

If they had of started the year like they finished would have finished top 2 and won the flag. Onus on them now to do what the Pies have done this year.

Nope, none at all.
Don't see very many in Perth.
