Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2021

[Nankervis brothers]

Scary thing is his competition for the worst are all current footy callers as well. Plus the recently retired (but not remotely missed) McAvaney.

McAvaney was a precise play by play caller early in his career. But things went south and he later became a ham.

Was looking over our 1992 season. Our run of games between Round 6-9 was completely insane.

Round 6: Geelong 25.25 (175) def. Fitzroy 11.11 (77)
Round 7: Geelong 37.17 (239) def. Brisbane (75)
Round 8: Geelong 32.18 (210) def. Adelaide (87)
Round 9: Geelong 23.13 (181) def. Essendon 17.22 (124)

Unbelievable.

That team could pile on goals like no other I've ever seen, problem was they allowed them the other way almost as easily, even our defenders attacked.

Its Brereton for me...even worse than Duhwayne...his sermons drive me batty. Can't listen to the guy.

Luke Darcy for me is unbearable.

 

[David the Cat]

Speaking of Brereton, the Hawks are being humiliated by the Saints.

 

[BotsMaster]

Oof that would have been a very nice goal from Max King.

BT takes the cake for me , adds nothing and his extreme hatred of GFC in every game he “commentates” just makes me wonder why he even employed

Worpel missed his target on a short pass by 5m under little to no pressure then.

More turnovers than Sara Lee.

That 1992 team still holds the record for most points in a home and away season...by more than 200 points over its nearest rival (Geelong as well three years earlier).

Won't be long until we see Patrick Ryder on an Advanced Hair ad by the looks of things.

 

[Romeoh1]

Go saints.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Is that truly the score?
StK 122 -v- Poos+Wees 46

Saints were on from the start.

 

[Vivy]

Thought this was on point. Get ready for Monday night

I wonder how that feels.... been a long time

State government overreaction in Perth. No crowd for the derby

How many cases? 1?

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Imagine a case goes to the game. Everyone would be screeching “HOW COULD YOU ALLOW THISSSSS?”

It’s been a year. How about our state governments either get a clue about how to manage hotel quarantine or stop allowing return travellers, the core demographic of HQ.

Comes down to spineless leadership.
Who gives a fu** about business or the all but a handful who are fine. Shut it down over 3 ******* cases.

State governments across Australia have been bloody abject with hotel quarantine and ffs Scomo and co need to hurry up administering the vaccines. I’d take Astra Zenica at my age. More likely to croak being hit by a bus.

Australia is one of the world leaders in our handling of covid. No country is without flaws in how they've dealt with it but overall our leaders have done infinitely better than most of their rivals around the globe.

You gotta be hard-core to do the Astra.
I don't care about the vaccines. Its obvious other countries need it far, far more than us.
But yeah 3 cases. I'd like to think a country such as ours could manage that.

Of course you are probably right, I am just beyond frustrated.
Spent the whole year in an essential services industry. Couple of cases... MASKS. Lockdowns.

Just over it all. Fed up.
So damn shattered that someone I know was going to their first ever Eagles game today... 3 cases.

Points to abject contact tracing that among millions we can't control 3 people.
God help us if this happens in Vic again, I may actually put out a fatwa on Merlino/Dan
