Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

[Big Sauce 21]

A lot of empty seats behind the goals

 

[Dom PC]

I thought this game was going to be a cracker. What a fizzler. Even with their outs, Freo should be way more competitive than this.

 

[Lace Out]

Unusual unit is Freo

 

[briztoon]

But did he really have time and space and that is why i don't believe (C) should have been considered.

He had time to kick to either pocket or close to the boundary on either 50 when he first took possession. Instead he turned 180 degrees, started to run across the face of goal, but only got two steps before slipping over. He then looked up at 3? Essendon players on the side edge of the goal square, and instead of attempting to hand ball to them, as the opposition closed in, he decided to handball across the goal line.

He had time to dispose of the ball. Wouldn't have been a good option, as the ball would have been coming back in, but he wasn't under immediate pressure when he first took control of the ball.

I believe that (C) was included for players that obviously have time and space and under no immediate pressure.

The original reason the whole rule came into place was players just walking back over the line in that GF.
I can't remember which team it was maybe the Hawks?.

I usually support the umpires in many of the grey arears of the rules, but i think that was the wrong call.

The game has so many grey arears it's no surprise in what some umpires will pay, and others don't.

However, i don't believe most umpires would have paid a free in that situation.

If it was an important close game or GF and that was paid it would be all over the media, but it is round 1.
Now we have a situation in that the players get more confused and get more nervous around that area of the ground.

I doubt we would be talking about it much at all if it was recorded as a rushed behind, common sense would prevail.

Geelong will be up there again.

 

[Helicon1]

On debut. Kid kick four in four minutes. Amazing.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Geelong will be up there again.

are they ever not ...

Could be even better by the look of how their younger players are progressing

 

[RU_]

On debut. Kid kick four in four minutes. Amazing.

That was unreal to watch.

If he took the hanger, the place would have exploded.

 

[Lace Out]

Freo will win 10 games at home and finish 6th

 

[Helicon1]

Nice soft 50 to give Smith a goal

 

[Nathan Barley]

Surely longmuir is the next coach sacked

 

[MSB ROYS]

Freo: good on paper, poor on the field.

 

[FromOldFitzroy]

Not sure Prior even wants to be out there. He may get his wish next week at this rate.

One particular bruise-free effort took my eye.
May be happy to take the bucks and play VFL.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Craig McRae is looking more and more like Mr Burns

 

[Toffee Lion]

My favourite part of a Saturday afternoon win is now sitting back and judging all the other games with glee.

 

[MSB ROYS]

I feel a bit dirty saying this, but go Port.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Collingwood's jumper looks a lot better without the gold AFL logo, they should keep it off I reckon

 

[MSB ROYS]

Port very average.

 

[Helicon1]

Why the **** are the hosts advertising Jameison during a qtr time chat on Kayo. It’s bad enough we have all the betting ads.
It frustrates me that we are advertising these things to kids during games.

 

[MSB ROYS]

North making a game of it.

 

[martinson]

Handover strategy isn't working at all for Port.

They need to give Kenny another 3 years now to provide some stability.

 

[Elixuh]

Port fans actually celebrating this

 

[MSB ROYS]

Libba throws the ball forwards that results in a goal. Commentators just ignore it on replay.

That passage actually went handball, throw, throw, throw, goal

That's sad. It's the players who are playing shit not Kenny.
