Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2022, part II

20 CP for Dunkley is a fair effort

 

[Mr Meow]

Yep. If you're good enough you win against any team, in any conditions at any ground.

We will beat Pies anywhere if we're good enough. We are the better side. If we somehow dont, we aren't good enough.

Spot on. The whole being terrified of MCG tenants is hilarious. The players and coaches won't be thinking like that. The hope is simply that our improvement this season means we are equipped to win 3 games at the G when it counts, against anyone. Like we did in previous flag years.

Interesting stat: Every time the Bulldogs have made the grand final, they've missed the finals the following year.

Won the GF in 1954 - finished 5th the following year (was a final four back then)
Runners up in 1961 - finished 5th again.
Won in 2016 - Finished 10th the following year.
Made the GF last year. Could be a game and a half outside the eight with two rounds to go depending on other results tonight.

Bang on. It's only a select few supporters that are worried. Our players and coaches will embrace playing on the big stage in front of a full house against quality opposition. It's why they play footy.

I can't wait and I'll be at the G watching us in the QF and embracing the atmosphere and soaking it all up.

It's exciting, and how many clubs would love to be in our position!

Tigers, Collingwood and possibly Carlton all in finals this year....

Yuck.

 

[cats_09]

Maybe this is one interstate team we don't want to face at MCG this September

 

[Overhang]

Have watched a bit of Port since we played them a few weeks ago, geez they really turned up for us that night, have not had the same intensity since our game.

Happy to play them anywhere but KP!

Ladder predictor update, with higher ladder position winning remaining games.



Pivotal remaining games:

• Lions v Blues tomorrow
• Dees v Blues
• Swans v Pies
• Lions v Dees
• Blues v Pies

 

[JohnZ]

Blues v Pies

IMO, Blues beat Pies, Freo finishes 4th and Blues finish 8th. They then play again finals week 1.

If Pies and Dees host MCG finals (as well as Geelong and Brisbane), then hopefully we get the Saturday 2pm QF. Give Pies and Dees the Thursday/Friday. Won't happen but I hope it does.

I never said the storm ARE cheats. I said they WERE cheats.

Seriously? The final words of your post were 'the storm are fantastic cheats, pure and simple'. That was what I was responding to.

Go back and read your post.

Carlton missing finals would be the funniest story of the year

Is Ken Hinkley really the problem with that club?

That game was a last ditch effort to make finals they know they are screwed now.

We better get a Sat final for gods ****ing sake.

Screw Thursday or Friday let Geelong Fans have the best chance of getting to the game for once.

100%. The cats really need to be advocating for it at HQ on our behalf. 2pm please.

I would hope Steve Hocking is pushing this.

What about a Sunday?

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

What about a Sunday?

Nah they won't ever schedule a QF on a Sunday. I can't recall that being done in modern times.

 

[cats_09]

What about a Sunday?

There's only 1 Sunday final and that's week 1 - it'll be the two lowest teams

Go back and read your post.

Really? That is the part of my post you are reacting to?

let me rephrase - “the players and administrators from that era are fantastic cheats, pure and simple”. Is that specific enough for you?

 

[Spearman]

We're their grand final.

and we could very well be GC's grand final next weekend
