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

[CharacterFirst]

IF Port are genuinely interested in McKay and able to secure his services, will that lessen their interest in Ratugolea?

Kill it I'd imagine.

 

[And_ROOS]

Kill it I'd imagine.

Were Port prepared to give up much for Esava in the first place? If we get to the end of the season and we have no space for Esava on the list, I would imagine we would get a deal done with Port for unders and they might get Esava and McKay.

Just quietly, it'd be pretty funny to see Carlton pump Richmond in the opening round, wouldn't it?

It would be very funny considering how I keep hearing about how the Tigers are geared up for a flag because they brought in those 2 GWS players.

Could very well happen

Yes.

But then I'd have to put up with the Carlton supporters in the office declaring them premiership favs all year like last year.

I'm pretty sure that rd1 win gave them that arrogance.

Funnier to see how many ways they could try and blame Hocking for the loss.

It will happen.

It's kind of messed up of me, but one thing that really floats my boat is feeding people a healthy diet of confirmation when they're already down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. Like, Richmond supporters are already several chugs through a bottle of Conspiracy Koolaid, and it would just be incredible to see them lose some close games this year in really controversial or dubious circumstances. There's always a couple of those games each year. One that springs to mind for me is when Blitz probably should've gone HTB against Brisbane in the dying seconds etc. I hope the Tigers are on the end of some of those games this year. Get the blood boiling down at Tigerland haha. The entertainment last year when Lynch kicked over the post was just beautiful.

If we look at Sav as a defender..he was a speculative acquisition. A cheap roll of the dice that might have given them a instant solution. Very happy well held hard and that Port could not up their offer... It looks like we will geta real good look at Sav as a defender..so by years end there will be less speculation. He will either be a more highly valued player.. or perhaps not wanted at all. Perhaps a delisted FA.


By years end they will have a better idea if they want him. But I guess ..it depends on who wants to go there as much as who they want. If McKay gets multiple offers.... he may well fancy playing with his brother.


There are so many examples were one might say Sav can follow to say his next 5 years could be high end. McCartin and Jones would seem very comparable. If he can learn when to mark, when to crunch a pack, when to punch and when simply to be steady then he could fill a role. I can remember when Tom Lonergan started.. and he was no certainty to work.

The thing for Sav ..is make a mistake in the forwardline ..its different to making an error in the backline.. How will handle it when we are under duress.

is backing a call for a minimum exclusion of 4 weeks after a concussion.

I'm down with that......as long as that becomes the minimum ban for any player found guilty of initiating the contact deliberately.

I actually think that whatever the call for minimum exclusion is the suspension should be that +1 week minimum.

So if you have to sit out being concussed for 4 weeks the suspension is a minimum of 5 weeks.

These numbers are examples of course.

Using the current numbers would be out for a week =Suspended for at least 2 weeks.

Agreed.

I'd even push that out to minimum exclusion period + 2 weeks.

One extra week for the 'intent' doesn't seem enough to me.

Make it + 2, so a guilty player is out for 6 weeks (assuming 4 week minimum) and the grubby acts will all but disappear I reckon.

 

[BotsMaster]

I'm all for preventing any further court cases.

 

[patience]

Yes.

So much the better for the second half lols

 

[Strange Cat]

Just watching the news and the tigers supporters shouldn’t really be allowed to bring in drums imo

 

[Hamingja]

I actually don't mind them adding this to the team sheet but wtf is an Arthur Jones.

 

[Hamingja]

Some tough games to tip this week.

North/WC
GWS/Adel
Haw/Ess

Absolute cripple fights.

Can't say I expected to tip Hawthorn at all this year but here we are.
