Oppo Camp Round 11 Non Pies Games

[Sea fog]

North useless, Melbourne not that great but we will be playing Demons who will have had 2 extra days and they have a full list to choose from. We are injured, have to fly to Adelaide and then play them. The fixture is f###ed. We may even get more injuries off the short break for Adelaide match. They will go all out for their first win as well.

 

[Capital Magpie]

no, I’m saying a contender would not drop a game against north/adel, that said with our outs melb prob likely to get up. Still can’t fathom how melb play sun and we play Tuesday...

Agreed, the compromiser fixture is ***ed. And what gives with some teams having byes but not others(us of course)?

 

[Jen2310]

We also be Nice and Tired playing Melbourne

The players will live. All they want to do is play and recover anyway. The only people that seem to have an issue with the break is the fans.

Okay in theory, but physiology sometimes says something different.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

The most overrated cliche in football is "its their Grand Final when they play us".

I know. But I would imagine if a player doesn't feel like they are recovered enough to play, they will say so. Just put the fittest side available to win.
We'll know tomorrow who will play.

Melbourne will beat us. I've seen this episode before.

Melbourne will beat us. I've seen this episode before.

Unfortunately if we go into the game without pendles, treloar, Howe, degoey, whe, IQ, and Langdon (which we are) off a 4 day break, it’s fair to say they should beat us. let’s hope we can avoid this and get a win, somehow

That we will, but the reality is that Melbourne will be better rested, without our injuries and so have a huge advantage over us.

Nothing we can do about that. Just deal with one game at a time.

I think Pendles plays, but otherwise the point still stands. However, I don’t rate Melbourne, and Goodwin isn’t very good. I reckon we’re a chance with our staunch defence, as long as guys like Thomas don’t play

 

[stormskye]

Need geel to win today to keep 3rd and 4th spot open. If saints win will make it harder to catch them. We really need some %, it’s so close at the top it’s gonna be very important

They Belted North

 

[stormskye]

They Belted North

North were 4 men down to be fair. And were horrible

 

[Good_Old]

So... cats v saints aye?

 

[stormskye]

Geel running at 80% disposal and 78% effective inside 50’s, Jesus Christ

[Stripes B and W]

If any Pie supporter is watching Cats v Saints, Brad Hill is putting together a real candidate for the worst individual game in the modern era.
Apparently Leigh Matthews has said he shouldn't turn up for recovery tomorrow, he ought to call in sick.
I dont believe we were ever in the hunt for him, but as punters know there is such thing as a good leave!

800k hes on

800k hes on

Unbelievable isnt it? Was it a 4 year deal?

4 or 5 not sure. Makes beams look good

 

[Stripes B and W]

4 or 5 not sure. Makes beams look good

A least confirms we are not the only club that can make big errors.
Add in Hannebery at around 750K over 4 years and its a big chunk of the cap. DH you can prob accept given he, at least , gives everything he has got.
Wells, Mayne, Beams...not our best deals.

 

[Jen2310]

If this was a test, Saints failed miserably

 

[stormskye]

Wanted geel to win but not by that much, they gained 8%....

Most teams having one of those days. we had one against eagles...
