Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2020

[JohnZ]

Was there any reason it was only the last three years?

I dare say Richmond's record drops off remarkably from 2016 and before it

Kelly gets a goal! That his first one for the Eagles?

He's come right into it in the second half. My one call on him playing for us was that he drifted in and out of some games, but the more games he plays, the better his tank becomes.

They also can run him up forward and then throw him on the ball..

 

[Gunf]

That was a ******* awesome mark back with the flight

That's the point. No one had a problem with Richmond playing at the MCG before then. Or Geelong playing home games at Geelong until 2007. Funny that.

Ok so said I wasn’t watching any pre season games but Geelong‘s but ended up watching second half on tonight’s game and thoroughly enjoyed it.

They most certainly did, right from the time it started.

Are you talking about the 60s when Richmond moved from Punt Rd to the MCG? I still don't understand it...

 

[Partridge]

Can't recall too much trepidation from Geelong fans in the late 1980s and early 1990s about visiting there. Can't recall too much of anything apart from mirth and merriment. Until early September 2017.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Yes.
The story was that Punt Road prevented them from making necessary improvements to their oval.
Ray Dunn could be very persuasive, something much appreciated by many crooked cops of the era.

 

[Max Milburn]

They most certainly did, right from the time it started.

Yes. I distinctly recall the Twitter outrage.

 

[cats_09]

Hardwick has been taking lessons from Scotty - Blicavs named at full forward with Cameron named at full back on the team sheets

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Hawkins to give Blicavs a bath.

 

[cats_09]

What tonight's match is about...

 

[winty]

Isaac Miss back to his old tricks. Someone must've sounded a siren in the stands.

 

[winty]

Danger would've nailed that on the run from 50m.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Wow. All stars are good to watch.

 

[Spazz Cat]

JJ!!! Looking good again. Gun

 

[Spazz Cat]

JJ. Again

 

[winty]

Great defensive pressure by Dusty there. Ball hits the deck, and he stands back and waits for a teammate to come in and harass Harris Andrews.

 

[winty]

Danger shows him how it's done with that chase down tackle in the middle there.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Haha JJ. F**Ken grouse. So good to watch.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

This is like watching GFC vs a Richmond or similar. Vics playing slow with the ball and failing to cover the overlap run and carry, and the allies are killing them.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Danger shows him how it's done with that chase down tackle in the middle there.

Then the bomb kick

 

[winty]

Haha JJ. F**Ken grouse. So good to watch.

Wonder if he's playing on Dusty when Dusty rests forward.
