Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2023, part I

[Hamingja]

Vossy has gone all CS circa 2020 with the gameplan. I don't remember them being that static against us earlier in the year. Would drive Curnow and McKay crazy just chipping it around.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

They almost won that by mistake, lucky Mitchell refused to put a player behind the ball for the final few minutes.
Otherwise, they might have lost their position in the Harley Reid sweepstakes

It'd be funny if they tanked to get Reid, then he asked for a trade after the first 2 years lol.

Far out for a Ross Lyon coached side they're defending Curnow horribly.

Was a bs 50 metres.

I'm stealing this discussion point from the Sunday Footy Show, but who would everyone rate as the top 5 best small forwards in the comp based on current ability as well as current form? (I'm defining current ability as what the player is capable of at the best and current form as the footy they're producing right now).

I'd go:

1. Cameron
2. Greene
3. Papley
4. Stengle
5. Pickett

Honourable mentions to Rankine and Bruest.

I know Stengle is injured but when he's fit and firing his best footy is of a very high level.

I personally thought Stengle was disappointing this year up until he got injured. Our forward structure was poor granted early days but he was not offering a lot and was ill disciplined.

He was definitely down on last year. My ranking of small forwards was based on a combination of overall current ability as well as current form, not just current form.

 

[BotsMaster]

Just tuned in and it looks it's a good game between Blues and Saints.

 

[winty]

If that was a 50m penalty to Silvagni then, Rohan deserved one in the last quarter last night.

Was a tweet with a link to an article about a suburban footballer in Melbourne who suffered a cardiac arrest during a game yesterday.

Seriously is there a worse kick for goal than McKay? Unless he's absolute point blank he rarely even remotely looks like slotting one.

Hipshit and Daniturd are bad as well

 

[The Casey Cat]

Hipshit and Daniturd are bad as well

Yea they definitely are but feel McKay is another level than both. Just doesn't look like it despite presenting well on the lead and such a good contested mark.

LOL, what a crap spoil by McGovern - went straight to two Saints players on their own at the back of the pack.

Both sides their own worst enemies at times but Carlton more so. Dumb side lacking leadership.

 

[Vdubs]

Saints are hard to beat.
If we play them without Stanley, Marshall will be pivotal.

They are setting up well behind the ball but at the same time (and like Ross Lyon sides in the past) they don't put in on the scoreboard well enough.

reminded me of Cameron Ling circa 2006 then. Blues players streaming forward, Walsh gets on the end of a chain of handballs....and turns and kicks it backwards. Absolute head scratcher.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

We changed the rules to stop them and help us win.

E.g 6-6-6, Stand, kick out rules etc

Not many brain cells on that board.

Totally head****ed by Geelong.

 

[Romeoh1]

We should have beaten Carlton by 10 goals. Gee we had a slow start.
Saints will be hard to beat.

 

[Gunf]

Carlton vs Saints is why you can't take supercoach scores seriously.

According to that Carlton should be flogging the Saints
