Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

Sorry to intrude but win next week and you are a serious shot for 4th, if you can win the remaining games after (you should).

Mathematically yes, but would take a miracle. If we pulled it off, and Hawthorn were on top of the ladder, I think they would feel very nervous, as it would take some fine form for us to get there.

The 9.8% better umpiring is alive and well tonight. A Sydney flag this year would be a total farce.

Why are they booing Goodes?!

Because to most folks he's become the new Lumumba.

Wow. If that's the case, most folks are Dicks.

Given how mediocre Collingwood are, I'd happily back us to finish ahead of them, even if an Adelaide win keeps us closer to 9th.

Adelaide could be a chance to go ahead of us though whereas I cant see the Pies doing that, we would rather finish 6th or 7th and play North than finish 8th and play Port away.

If we finish 6th and North 7th or vice versa, match gets played at the MCG I assume?

lol nope, probably shitihad.

so obviously i dont watch brisbane but it seems martin quite enjoys being lone ruckman. is this a surprise. did melbourne have reason to believe this could happen. if so why did they not dump jamar

Not sure if you're being facetious, but he did this for a year at Melbourne too, back in 2011.

I don't care how, but I'd rather Sydney win the flag 10 times over than Hawthorn getting another one.

Depends on the other finals. If Sydney, Freo and Port host finals it'll be at the G

 

[Jam123]

I can't see us beating Sydney. We'll do well to be within 40 points tbh

Unsurprisingly, I disagree with you about the umpiring. I'm at the ground and it's been pretty good IMO. Great game to watch as a neutral so far.

If you get more ball, you generally get more frees.

Freo or Port rather than either of the campaigners.

Or if you play for Sydney.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Looks like a small crowd tonight.

 

[eth-dog]

Or if you play for Sydney.

How about that free against Reid that makes it a 2 goal turn around?

It was a free against Franklin mate...

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Or if you play for Sydney.

Benny, if Essendonism was a religion, you'd definitely be heading up our militant wing.

 

[eth-dog]

Either way, it was a handball. And another bump head high that gives Hawthorn the lead.

I think I'm flattered.

It was not, it was a throw.

I hate Hawthorn too mate and I wish them nothing but dubious umpiring, but this is objectively shite.

Fist clearly hit the ball on replay

 

[Jam123]

Great game so far

 

[Buttsoup_Barnes]

I know it's not a goal.
Ump: Yeah but...

*goal confirmed*
