Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2022, part II

[Mr Meow]

Remember, Port kicked 8 goals against us in one quarter.
Let's see if Collingwood can reel in another team that has jumped them (again).

I think they will reel them in. Port are not great at putting together 4 quarter performances, especially away from home.

Collingwood have that inconsistency too. They often get on rolls but are more capable than most of conceding damaging bursts.

Back to two goals at 1/4 time.

Surely knowing you are playing for nothing also comes into play late in a taxing encounter?
Port boys may not give that extra 5 or 10 percent needed to fall over the line

yeah but its collingwood. dont need any extra motivation

 

[My Tilly]

Was tempted to bet De Goey 4+ goals without Mihocek hogging everything

 

[Strange Cat]

Lol Ginnivan still ducking into tackles and not getting paid for it

 

[My Tilly]

Poor Ginnivan.
Born 15 years too late.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

This tactic has been so drilled into Ginnivan that it will take him a while to stop doing it.

Port are lucky to not already be a couple more goals behind. Have not showed up this quarter.

It'll be interesting to see if Pies switch momentum so easily against a top 4 team. I think Sydney for instance will punish them.

That was a Steve Johnson set-shot from Ginnivan

 

[Strange Cat]

Poor collingwood supporters are in victim mode today

they always are

the uproar from them over the afl reminding the umps and public what a high free is has been insane. they act like the afl has changed its rules to stop ginnivan

I've then seen some of them still calling selwood a ducker on posts about him this week

 

[thecatattack]

leek aleer just had stitches before he even got his first touch

Selwood free kicks after 21 games = 1.71
Ginnivan free kicks after 21 games = 1.57

Tracking along quite similarly for Jack.

one was/is a hard nut inside mid, the other not so much....

 

[Stab Pass]

Ginnivan's first and only reaction in general play is to try and milk a free. He not only ducks but actually moves into the tackler. Trying to get a ball on the ground he dived forward trying for in the back and then on the wing little handball out in front and grabs hold of the tackler to try and get it holding the man. Kid can play but such a pity he doesn't just try and win the ball with out all the rubbish.

Selwood was averaging 3 contested more per game. I agree with your premise but Selwood perfected the art of lowering the shoulder to get the tacklers to slide up and around the neck.
Ginnivan is applying the very same tactics by winning the contested footy and drawing free kicks to the bemoaning of all supporters (ironically, even our own).

 

[Falconx]

Big tough Dixon back to being useless.

 

[Gunf]

I must admit GWS have fallen in a heap in the last few years.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Georgiadis is massively overrated. One trick pony who has a lot more limitations than I realised.

Hero Dixon not doing any chest beating either

Ginnivan is a disgrace to this great game.

I hope we get Pies week one, would love to knock them off in front of their sooky fans week one. And beat them we will .

 

[catempire]

Stupid useless Pear

 

[thecatattack]

 

[patience]

I worry about Kenny.

 

[thecatattack]

least convincing 10 game win streak i've ever seen tbh

 

[thecatattack]

did ginnivan get a touch in the 2nd half?
