Oppo Camp Round 15 2019: other matches

This is missed by most.

To think, even amongst our travails, were still 2nd on the ladder.

Off your game 5% and the opposition is on their game, anything can happen.

Port bears Geelong; Ports loses to Bulldogs; we beat bulldogs.

Every game is pretty much contestable.

If we have a nightmare, key is to learn and move on.

Do the little things well; get the ball, use the ball well; then everything goes up a cog.

Now we play a ailing Hawthorn at the MCG.
Let’s just return to our better play.

Onwards upwards.

Bizarre season, but that makes it interesting.

Absolutely! Misguided people want to act as if the sky is falling because of last night's result! Yet the competition is so even and unpredictable that the gap between the top and the bottom teams is just not that great, and if the lower-placed team is switched on while the higher-placed team isn't, then an upset is on the cards.

Last night's result/performance was bitterly disappointing, but with so many quality players missing from our best lineup we are likely to be vulnerable against pretty much anyone. I'd say no club has great depth these days, and with perhaps as many as 9 unavailable from our best 26 or so, and North Melbourne having won 3 of it's previous 4 games, that game was an "accident waiting to happen" for Collingwood! We need to win next week, if we do we'll still be sitting 2nd. We're very well placed, despite having our usual injury struggles, and just need to hang in there and hope we start getting some of the missing stars back soon enough.

Freo 33 - 3 leading with Blues no Cripps, McKay & Curnow off the ground
It’s a tough season to keep wining all the time

Unless you have a get out of jail free card like the Pussies

Especially because he chose Melbourne

He didn't have much of a choice - word is his preference was Collingwood but we simply had no way to get a trade done. Our two biggest flight risks last season were Moore and Langdon and neither of them would have gotten better than the pick 6 Melbourne got for Hogan. Particularly given the fact that their biggest courter was Sydney. Freo (who were after Langdon) were never going to give up pick 6 for him when they had the option of Hogan.

He could have held out an extra year for free agency but Gold Coast didn't want another year of speculation about a captain.

Not sure if he would have been such a dick if he made his way to us.
