Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2024, Part 2

[rocker_oz33]

I didn't take it that way at all.

I bet you complain about it being an unnecessary and token gesture too?

WTF are you playing at.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Thanks. But are you suggesting my head would look good in your rock garden?

Your eyes are not painted on...

Like a drunk uncle at a wedding
Tonight and last week in Brisbane

Missed last weeks, was it the same gentleman?

I don't mind the reminder that this wasn't invented for anyone's benefit, it's been a round a while.

Why would indigenous Australians measure the passing of time in relation to a mystical being with significance to them?

Enjoyed it.

 

[Play it Sam]

6 of them picked us so clowns the lot of them

We were paying $19 at the start of the season.
So the critics thought they were going where the bookies were at.
Luckily some of us have more faith and some chickenfeed dollars (me) so keep it going and stick it up 'em Catters.

Different fella but went way off on a tangent, twice as long

Look I think there is a place for a brief welcome to country, many don't, but it shouldn't be a sermon!

I want a Geelong v PA GF!!!

 

[Zouz Kitty]

True.

And we have enough experienced guys to help the newbies like Humphries and Mannagh avoid playing the game in their head.

Humphries stated in his interview, the last two weeks until PF, he is focusing on his family visiting in Geelong; training; controlling the controllables + letting go of the ununcontrollables. . .perhaps a bit ‘new age’ for some curmudgeons here?” He’s nailed it + his mindfulness is way beyond his age. Dismiss that, should you choose. Nevertheless at 24yo, Humphries, has life experience + his application + focus is beyond his youth

Another 119 would be glorious.

Should we get our end of the bargain right, then I dread the (quasi Richmond) Port supporters. Swans fans were decently civilised in 22, would rather them. But horse before the cart- let's get there first.

I do agree with you, merely hypothetical on my part and the previous poster

Gotta love this time of year - readin through Twitter after tonights prelim and Sydney fans are debating who they would prefer to face in the grand final… you’ve still got a game to play against a team you haven’t defeated since 2016

Maybe that’s something to focus on first

Someone alert Ken so he can put the tweet on the whiteboard and turn up at the person's house if they win

Especially if the scores are
6.8 - 44
24.20 - 164

Giving us a margin of 120

It's psychologically damage Port for the next two decades.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Brisbane are going to be a very tired team late in next week's game.

It's setup perfectly for us. Couldn't really ask for a better situation.

And to think that all I was expecting was a final or two two for the kids to experience.

We can steal a flag this year.

 

[PorcelainBus]

Better Brisbane than GWS I think?

 

[And_ROOS]

Guess its time to update this GWS meme, shame we get another week of quiet GWS social media team...

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

WTF welcome to country .
BC before Cook .
White people .

I switched on late. Usually a 'welcome to country' is what it says on the label, an elder welcoming everyone on behalf of the group that traditionally resided where the sporting venue is.

What was actually different about this one?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Possibly but should be careful what we wish for

The speaker said that it has always existed in their culture between different tribal groups if you went on to someone else’s lands. - it hasn’t just been initiated as a modern concept to welcome white people. This was something I didn’t know so was good to get that info. I found it interesting.

As an aside

That Jeremy Cameron seems like he could be a good player. We should try and get him.

Can't afford him, he'd cost more than two first rounders and we need one for Smith

As much as I love the drought breaking 2007 its the one I return to the least. Man there was some amazing transition football that has rarely been replicated but it was just too one sided. 2022 was one sided but it just had so many stories from Stengle, Selwood, Danger, Jezza, SDK, Parfit. Will always be my fave I think.

 

[Hinkley29]

1.73 fav on Sportsbet for next week

Those are crazy odds.

Get on Geelong now before they shorten. We should be $1.45 max.

We need a few high profile sermons.

People might start to understand better if there were.
