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

They are a much better side with Parker in the magoos.

Their midfield is now full of speed, precise skill and top notch decision makers. Parker was a gun, but a hack forward territory player. Trust me, I've talked to Swans supporters whose position is this.

The Parker (missing, but a blessing in disguise) swap for Heeney in midfield ignited their season.

Yep, as I said, in the background.
I think it's great seeing a team like Swans turning it on after that GF loss.

It's pretty joyless to be honest.

Tbh, I enjoy watching really excellent teams display skills, and when we are so far off the pace, it's no crime to appreciate teams that have it.

Yeah I guess that's nice for a while, and good on them, but man I wish they didn't match gulden, or campbell, or any of the others

I reckon when they play us at the SCG in Round 13 (unlucky for some!) they'll want to absolutely put us to the sword. We'll want to be ready for that.

I mean....if the Cats don't win the flag in 2024, I'd MUCH rather it be Sydney than someone like Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon or Melbourne.

It's great seeing a well-drilled and highly-performing contender that will help keep those teams out of it.

Looking at this, they might be without Parker for a few weeks at VFL level as well....

As ready as we apparently were for the Darwin game?

 

[Frappe]

Sydney are going to thump us in 3 weeks so winning the next 2 games is absolutely crucial.

A lot of fluctuations in form can happen due to training, injuries, managing players etc. 3 weeks is a long time in footy.

They are looking very impressive mind you.

I'd say that about every other side. Sydney at the SCG is the one game I'd pencil in as an auto-loss, but I hope I'm wrong.

Or we come out and have a 50pt win

Other than the Buddy milestone match, we don't seem so too bad at the SCG - we had a draw last year with chances to win, in 21 it was a 2pt loss after leading by 28pts at 1/4 time & a late Jeremy Cameron mark on the goal line was called "NOT 15" before he even marked it...

He then spent the warm up at the MCG the next week lining up in the same spot he would have had that kick from, and yes it would have been after the siren - he kicked about 10 in a row not moving off his line

This is better footage

Yeah, good point. A tad more ready than that!!!!

 

[Strange Cat]

Wouldn’t it be nice if GWS and Ess somewhow drop their games …highly unlikely but anyway

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Pies v Crows

J.Daicos - 30
N.Daicos - 40
Crisp - 27
Pendlebury - 30

Dawson - 29
Rankine - 30
Crouch - 35
Laird - 22

The comp is setting the standard game after game.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

My early Grand Final tip is the Swans V Pies. With the Swans winning it.

He will defs miss the game against us for that-not that it’ll help much I guess!

 

[hoopla]

Seriously, how can one umpire call play on when Naughton’s head was taken off. Lucky the other umpire overruled him. Utter stupidity

 

[hoopla]

The dogs should be 5 goals up here

 

[winty]

Should be more than that - 24 scoring shots to 11.

Would be nice

 

[winty]

Both us and the Giants will be going into next week on the back of 3 straight losses. Guessing no-one would've predicted that a month ago.

Weird season so far with teams moving up and down the ladder. I think 6-10 will be a huge logjam for finals

 

[Strange Cat]

Would be nice

1 down lol nice to know we aren’t the only top club in a form slump
