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

[Mr Meow]

Hard to be confident about anything with Port......and is it possible to be positive about BT at all, other than saying he's a *#@& commentator?

Port are capable of great bursts. This period right now is a good example. But they are rarely reliable over a full game against decent opposition. Having said that the way they hung in against Sydney and ended up toppling them at the SCG was meritorious. But definitely an outlier.

Hmm maybe i shouldn't have tipped against the Marvel stadium juggernaut that is Port

I said on here pre-game that I had a strange urge to pick Port, but ignored it to favour 'common sense'.

All true......but then the Saints have been Port's bunny for a while now.

You'd think the Saint's form will see them through, but I've had a feeling that they're ripe for the picking too.

 

[Cataholic]

Saints player gets his head ripped off, ump says a 'shrug'.

Ump needs spec savers.

 

[Gunf]

4 goals to none that quarter... What was that about Saints being a scoring juggernaut Gary?

 

[Reppie]

Ports speed tore the saints a new one that quarter.

First time I’ve seen St Kilda up close this year. Not impressed at all. Bottom half of eight and early finals exit.

Saints have been challenged.

How they respond will be interesting.

Indeed.

They suddenly looked fragile that quarter CE.

I'm keen to see how they respond.

Is Ralphy for real??

N Daicos has a LONG, LONG way to match GAJ's career and consistency.

Lets see him do it for 5+ years straight at the coalface not halfback or waiting outside the pack before we even mention him in the same world as the GOAT midfielder

He's played, what.......6 games?

Moronic comparison.

People are getting carried away. Ridiculous from Ralphy.

Sums up the current state of footy media. They're already on target to get him an undeserved Brownlow...

If he doesn't get suspended he will romp it in at this rate but not because he deserves it

 

[Gunf]

1st quarter Saints better
2nd quarter Port better
3rd so far fairly even

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

JHF looks a bit like Paddy bursting from the stoppages.

 

[Mr Meow]

Except he's a worse kick.

It's not only stupid, but borderline disrespectful.

Comparing 6 games vs the 18 year career of someone in the top 2 greatest players of all time is just a joke.

They can talk about 'trajectory' and 'potential' all they like, but the ultimate proof is in the pudding.

After all, a hot air balloon has the trajectory and potential to reach the moon, doesn't it?

 

[Gunf]

Hmm i am starting to think the 4th ump doesn't really help much apart from seeing some off the ball holding

Because they still all make so many stupid ****ing mistakes. (not all the umps fault the rules need adjusting to be less grey)

 

[allrighty]

Powell-pepper always tough opponent

 

[Gunf]

JHF with 10 clearances is ****ing amazing

 

[Cataholic]

JHF with 10 clearances is ******* amazing

But gee whiz, wow wee, he's a poor kick.....like Mr Meow said earlier

 

[Strange Cat]

JHF with 10 clearances is ******* amazing

Norf were ****ing stupid not to do everything they could to keep him happy there
