Oppo Camp Non Giants AFL discussion

[GWS Goose]

Interesting results this weekend have really opened up the bottom quarter of the ladder (even more interesting if we get it over the Swans this weekend) for the remaining 6 games.

Looking at each team's last few games:

Syd: GWS, Freo, Ess, Saints, North, GC
Freo: Gee, Syd, Rich, Bri, WC, Saint
WC: Ade, Saints, Coll, Melb, Freo, Bri
Saints: Port, WC, Carl, Syd, Gee, Freo
GWS: Syd, Ess, Port, Gee, Rich, Carl
Ess: North, GWS, Syd, WB, GC, Coll
Rich: Bris, Gee, Freo, North, GWS, Haw

In bold are the fixtures with another team within the cluster.

I think excluding us, we would like Sydney to keep winning.
I think Richmond is gone. Can't see them beating Brisbane and Geelong. Once they have lost 6 in a row, they'll be mentally gone.

Yet another hungry display by the Swans, this time against Freo. The game is well and truly over, but the Swans are still first to the ball, still tackling, still ruthless.

Why don't we play with heart like that?

We do. Sometimes….

We want the Swans to keep winning, they play Essendon and St Kilda next 2 weeks.
If we win tonight, we'll probably be 8th.
I'm assuming that Geelong pole axe Richmond.
Been wrong before.
A lot of teams at the top are faltering. Brisbane, Melbourne and Port all out of sorts. Still good sides, but not playing the footy they were earlier.

 

[GWS Goose]

If the finals started tomorrow, my cash would be on the swans.
They are hot right now.

The Blues knocked off the Saints last night, so we remain in 8th spot for the moment.

Have to hope the Swans beat Essendon, and it doesn't matter who wins between Richmond and Fremantle, we must beat Port to stay there.

Given the difficulties of the respective run homes, I'll be cheering for Fremantle.

Interesting first quarter in Swans v Bombers. Shiel had two ineffective kicks and missed a fairly easy shot on goal.

Shiel could always get the ball and seemed fast and agile but his kicking always let him down.

WTF Lions?

Premiership chances look like they've disappeared with some poor showings these last few weeks.

Top 8 results appear to be drifting our way again.

Only if we win against Port.

We have to win for that to be true still.
1 of Freo or tigers will be 8 if we don’t.

Win or lose for us, were still better off with how the games have gone.
Even the Brisbane game helps us.
Gives the swans the top 4 to aim for, they are playing the teams around us, we want them to keep winning.
We've just got to do our bit now.

Freo kick two quick goals to retake lead.

Great HT entertainment for our game!

Should ask his old mate Eddie Betts for a comment about his thoughts.

Hopefully Gold Coast can do us a solid and beat Carlton.

Please don’t sack Teague before R23!

That goal by Powell at the end and great win by the Suns and good to see Townsend can still cut it at AFL level, would have loved him back at the club but well done to him

 

[GWS Goose]

Great for us on two fronts, helps with the Collingwood pick and a little easier for us final wise. Now we need North to knock over Richmond.

 

[sydney_gws]

Well done to gold coast, we now have to play Well the rest of the season and We make finals, probably versus sydney. It would be ironic if we play them in Canberra ( although I doubt the ACT government would allow given the worsening situation in VIC).

 

[sydney_gws]

North have started well vs Richmond.

 

[GWS Goose]

Go North!
