Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 2

[joe444]

Random fact. Since 2014, the most common preliminary final margin is 71 points (3 times), the average is 35 (despite there being six results under 6 points).

Based on purely mathematical principles, the Year 12 maths teacher where I work has predicted ...

Geelong by 55
Brisbane by 4 if dry, Collingwood by 4 if it rains

Could we see two captains changing clubs this October

 

[cats_09]

Make that 3 captains

 

[Commando]

Under 2kg per player after an off season winning a premiership sounds completely reasonable...?

And didn't they **** up 2009, 10, 11 anyway?

I forgot about Allen

There's also potentially a 5th with some talk online that Neale may look to make a move back to Perth with WCE being encouraged to put an offer on the table

Pick 6 would be outrageous for a mediocre, injury riddled ruckman.

 

[joe444]

I sense there would be outrage if any of these players nominated Geelong. But Draper and Allan to Brisbane? Shrug.

 

[cats_09]

This is crazy - 5 years of paying a player to be on another clubs list

This is the AFL. As always, they will do exactly as they please.

For some reason I thought he'd already retired.

Who was I thinking of?

 

[hoopla]

Did Gerard say “Ray Chamberlain, see you next Tuesday” on AFL360? Unintentional I imagine, but perhaps a little appropriate

 

[catsfootyfan89]

I wonder what kind of equalisation policies the league will cook up now that captains are starting to abandon their crap clubs...

Wild how much Brisbane are getting away with via free agency, father sons and academies.

They are getting all the things we are currently accused of.

Hear hear..

Geez, this is an embarrassment of riches for Brisbane. First it was the Academy All-Stars. People said that's not too bad. Then, there was the F/S Bounty. People said, it is a mere coincidence. Now, Brisbane is raiding the grain stores in the heartland, burning villages & enslaving kids. How soon before Darth Fagan's hologram is simulcast on all Comms in the Galaxy? Breathe.. Breathe..

But Collingwood is still paying a portion of Grundy's contract for another 2 years through to 2027

 

[cats_09]

Has Beveridge realised he actually needs defenders...

But kinda funny that for all recruiting & re-signing St Kilda is being seen to do, that they could also see both their captain & VC move on in October

Agree with Eddie on Zach Merrett.

With the [imo overblown story] by Caro about Merrett issues with AFLW team the fact that the non incident occurred in July but is coming to the surface in September is nothing more than someone at Essendon leaking it to make Merrett look the bad guy. Smearing him via leaked rumours and likely half truths on his way out.

Caro would've known that it happened a couple of months ago, and has promoted the smear campaign imo.

Gutter 'journalism'.

Was that just for Buddy and Dew?

Dew just eyes it off... "you gonna eat that?"
