Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2024, Part I

[thejester]

Bizarre, David Brent-esque behaviour from Clarkson.

This is genuinely incredible gear.

How many times can you have dissappointing losses , like they have season in season out

Theve got that 4 hour plane flight home , they will be a miserable lot

Alot might say they will be fired up against Geel , but it could go the other way , and they might be as flat as pancakes against Geel , thats what im hoping for

I really hope they are fired up so we can get a good view of how the cats might travel instate if we make our way into the finals and have to do the same.

Most teams get up for us regardless, in my general viewings.

Another injury to a team pushing to play finals

Are they even a mathematical chance at this point?

Seems there's bit of discussion on the current form ladder - we're sitting 4th...

The shock at how high up the ladder the Saints are. I would have had them about 10th.

Are they even a mathematical chance at this point?

If the Bombers beat Gold Coast at Marvel, and Hawthorn beat Carlton or Adelaide beat the Bulldogs, Essendon end next round in the 8.

Brisbane are in the best form as they’ve won 9 in a row.

Only 3 of those games were against current top 8 teams. Brisbane are still a paper tiger whose form flatters them.

Yes but ess would have to win all 3 to get in.

You've gotta laugh...Carlton V Hawks next Sunday would have to be one of the biggest non-finals games for years - so much riding on it, not just for them, but the layout of the whole comp. Would have to tip into 90,000+ with the AFL licking the purse-strings.

Channel 7 have Richmond V St.Kilda.

Pretty sure we haven't beaten a current top 8 team since April

Yeah but no one is claiming we are the in form team atm

Just announced on SEN: Dustin Martin has retired, effective immediately.

 

[cats_09]

Not sure anyone is really surprised

Wonder if he'll have a change of heart come seasons end and move north though...

Would be pretty funny seeing Richmond fans turn negative on him like they've done with Hardwick...

 

[Gunf]

So is he playing the last 3 games or is he injured or can't be assed?

Multiple comments on Twitter said it's effective immediately

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Now it's just a wait-and-see on whether Dusty is at the GCS next year.

 

[Commando]

Props to Dusty
Champion of the game
Still get PTSD when I see his GF 20 goals

 

[BotsMaster]

Shame. Was hoping he'd move north.

They use to be huge rivals around the time they were co tenants at Princess Park

And the Blues definitely had the upper hand in those big games at P/Park , handed out some real good floggings to Hawthorn

Can see Richmond fans turning up in their droves for this.....and then heading home after the lap of honour has finished and before the game starts.

Can sign his new contract at the same time. Two birds, one stone.

Leave Richmond for mental health then sign at Gold Coast two months later? The apprentice has become the master
