Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread 2024 Edition

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Teams are getting better at dissecting zones and it'll shift back to man on man. I hope it doesn't happen too soon though, as we're built for the current game and are a chance in the current game.

I hope you are right that there will be a shift back to man on man at times. Teams will probably have to be able to adapt to use a combination of both zone and contest I guess.

Especially since jumpers are made to fit players skin-tight, literally any level of friction against it pulls the jumper taut and makes it look like a grab.

Something for Freo to consider with that black and purple uniform; it’s much harder to see their jumper getting pulled than Carltank’s white monstrosity.

The defenders union should be up in arms about those ones. Forward in front reaches an arm back to the defenders chest, grabs the jumper to hold the defenders in place - it's just never paid as a free, but when the defender then grabs the forwards jumper to try to shift, it gets paid a heap.

i'd rather win every single week. i'd rather see other teams saying in interviews that it is an impossible task to beat us. I'd love to see us publicly humiliate opponents every week. It would bring me great pleasure...

That would be nice too.

idolise Mitchell Starc? That goatee is horrible

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Lol. The dissent wouldn't have occurred if they didn't make the first mistake.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Didn't bother watching this Giants/Suns game from the start, just assumed it would be a thrashing...

Grand final preview?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Grand final preview?

Wouldn't go that far.

 

[stormskye]

Grand final preview?

The AFL would love that.

 

[Vicky Park]

Every time I watch GWS or Gold Coast, I’m amazed at the good footballers in both teams. I know GWS have largely got their act together, and I fully support the national competition and attempts to establish the game in those obscure states that enjoy the ugly game - but to see some of these players hidden away in obscurity. It’s a travesty!

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Good crowd
Maybe the Giants can move some of their home games to Mt Barker.
Sure the supporters won’t need bribing with hi vis shirts either .

 

[stormskye]

How did we lose to stkilda. How.

Was just about to post the same thing. They have been woeful.

Check your PM, I have a link for you

 

[Soups]

Check your PM, I have a link for you

Saucy link I hope.

Think this was meant for someone else bro.

 

[Kes1984]

Not watching the Richmond st kilda game but just saw the scores. Glad I’m choosing something else to do with my time!

 

[manicpie]

Saucy link I hope.

My appologies, I thought you wanted a link to watch the game

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

How did we lose to stkilda. How.

Every team plays there grand final against us, we never get the shit version of any team.

 

[JOELY]

Still annoyed that "Missy" Higgins picked the one day he actually kicked straight against us.

 

[jmac70]

Why is “the biggest club in the AFL” playing at Norwood oval?

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

That’s a putrid call on vlaustin

 

[Black_White]

How did we lose to stkilda. How.

Not aging well.
Still a long way to go though.

 

[Black_White]

I know clubs always say “we will play anyone anywhere”, but that ovals a disgraceful shape for our game.
Even China was better!

That Walter is going to be a beast! Don't be amazed by the quality of their players- they are both stacked with top ten draft picks going way back.
