No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XLII

[aislegi]

Lynch should have got one last week against Norf and it wasn't even a soft free kick.

Exactly - when it's Richmond (and, to be fair, one or two other clubs) the umpires "put the whistle away"

 

[Groupie_]

Seriously, can anyone remember the last time, with the game in the balance, Richmond got a soft free kick right in front of goal to seal the game?

never happened.

 

[aislegi]

never happened.

- I swear I can never remember it and now in my fifth decade as a Richmond supporter

 

[Antzzz]

scatters player smug as farrk on the 3aw interview

I can't cop the handbaggers at all ....bunch of entitled pricks ....AFL,s love child ......they have the nickname handbaggers for a reason

 

[Antzzz]

Him And derwayyyyyne giggling like school girls on radio few months about how we rfc supporters say the stand rule was brought in to stop us

Yep never happened , what usually happens is we get ahead by 20-30 points dependant n the maggot umpiring and we will get 4-5 frees against us which all result in goals and momentum of game swings

 

[DickieKnee]

You just have to look at how Lynch gets man handled in the marking contest every game. Then look at the soft free kicks Curnow gets every week

 

[The_Kraken]

Collingwood & Geelong are getting umpire gifted wins guaranteed to them this year.
It’s not even subtle

If the Dogs made the most of their chances in front of goal, they would have won. 16.17 makes it very difficult to win.

 

[The_Kraken]

Good analysis of the similarities between Dimma's Suns and Richmond.

It's funny that Dimma thinks he can win a flag playing a similar style of footy, especially in the stand rule era. I guess it proves that Dimma knows nothing about the game.

Yep, we've all seen that happen! The other one we see all the time is the free kick that the opposition gets (normally after missing a clear free kick to us!) with about 50 seconds to play in the quarter that inevitably results in a goal.

What's with coaches providing analysis? They actually make sense and provide insight. Not what I watch the footy shows for.

Back in the day we knew that it wasn't the contested ball, it was the next (clean) ball that mattered. So we set up to win that next ball, or (more importantly) create a structure that we gain control. Now rule changes etc and winning contested ball is more important. Plus, they have better contested mids.

So Dimma has a premiership winning game style, within changed rules, and a different squad. And he has adjusted for that. Almost like he is a good coach who knows what he is doing.

They win clearances, we never did so makes sense why he thinks the same game style will hold up.

Collingwood have been copying our style for years now but media make it out like it's all new.

dumma at the helm of the huns is bottom 4 with Richmond umpiring

they are getting an almighty ride, 3rd for frees

 

[tropicaltiger]

Haha David Schwartz said umpiring was fine last night , this is the problem media like him and David I ate a whole sheep king saying shit like this , nobody got the balls in media to call it out

a nervous and relieved Schwatta obviously had big buck$ riding on the cats and wants to keep his job.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Dimma is King

The clubs are to blame on this one for sure. The sponsor dollars were massive at the start and now it has showed it is a bad return on investment

The clubs simply cannot afford further investment in AFLW.
It is damaging the AFL teams' footy department spend, cutting costs, cutting corners.
Something's gotta give.

back of shorts sponsors like rugba league will
be brought in to lessen the damage u watch

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Corrupt biased AFL umpiring yet again, altering the results of "close" games.
Home games for Geelong and Collingwood.
Home wins.

That's not accurate. They get a separate cap for spending on the men's and women's it's not a matter of prioritising one over the other

Now the AFL is making decisions around that spending separation but the clubs definitely aren't

I remember Dusty getting a soft one in 2017 prelim vs Heath Shaw

I almost felt guilty

Wouldn’t say Collingwood get “Home” Games. Geelong on the other hand.

Pies manage to play least amount of interstate games per year somehow.

Coaches who adapt to changes in the game and personnel are wasting their time. They'd be better served by whining about umpiring, playing the victim, and indulging in conspiracy theories.

Memory doesn't work like that aislegi. It is limited to our actual lifetimes.
