No Oppo Supporters 2024 AFL General Discussion

[Jewelsbon]

Teams that have won a premiership since the last time Bombers won a final:

Collingwood x2
Geelong x4
Melbourne
Richmond x3
West Coast x2
Western bulldogs
Hawthorn x4
Sydney x2
Port Adelaide

Teams that have made a grand final since Bombers have won a final.

Brisbane
GWS
Adelaide
St Kilda
Fremantle

14 of the 18 teams have made a grand final since the last time Bombers have won a final. That's extraordinary mediocrity.

Carlton. North & GC the other mediocre teams who haven't managed to go beyond a prelim. Essendon well and truly take the W here.

It truly is unbelievable. It will be a sad, sad day when the streak is broken

Conspiracy of Daicos love or conspiracy to get Reid to win something by ensuring people don't vote for Reid but against Daicos?

 

[RampeRobe]

SURELY they could find a third goal of the year contender.. instead of putting Daicos in twice

 

[caesar88]

OK I am an unapologetic Nick Daicos fan. I think he seems like a good kid and a pretty fair player who unfairly cops it from fans because he plays for Collingwood, the media's lovefest with him is annoying, and he's arguably the best player in the comp.

But his inclusion as one of the two finalists for the Goal of the Year is absolutely laughable.

Edit: Millky95 beat me to the punch!

And all 3 goals are the same. Not a single shot from the boundary?

 

[caesar88]

Can someone please make a montage of Swans players scoring goals with multiple possessions in the chain?

Not that it isn't impressive, but off the top of my head I can recall Warner, Heeney, Cunningham, Rowbottom, Gulden, Blakey, McInerney and Lloyd all doing it. And that's just the current players.

Imagine the afl brains trust sitting around the table coming up with the idea to put him in twice.. remarkable stuff

 

[Kbroome]

Blakey's or Campbells goals on the run from outside 50 were better than this, just a popularity contest now

Now? Hasn't it always been voted on by the public?

I’ve told them if I hear any of these words they will be kept in and made to watch one of the match highlights of any of the swans wins this season at recess or lunch. I haven’t heard a peep.

's drop punt from 50 out against the Lions last year. One of the most magnificent kicks I have ever seen.

Goal of the Week - Round 10

Harry Cunningham kicks an absolute beauty after a series of hands off halfback results in massive goal in the third quarter.

GOTY, MOTY both meaningless crap

 

[The King!]

AFL will want to get the Cats home tonight to get an MCG prelim

The second Daicos goal is a good goal. To kick accurately after running at top pace for that distance is impressive. The first goal seems a completely 'meh' goal. I find it hard to believe I couldn't find a few dozen similar goals across the season, complete with fluffed kick partway through the sequence.

Even the second, good though it is, is no more exciting and skillful than goals were players have weaved and dodged through traffic and snapped from an angle.

 

[bedford]

Tom Stewart will be out tonight

 

[Punts]

Massive out

Port will flog them

 

[SM]

Massive out

Port will flog them

?

 

[Kbroome]

2 goal swing with the Stewart news guessing SDK replacing him?

 

[The Mares Leg]

Massive out

Port will flog them

Could be a sensible out - get set up for next week.

 

[The King!]

Port will shit the bed

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

When are teams out for the other games?

 

[The Mares Leg]

AFL will want to get the Cats home tonight to get an MCG prelim

Meredith one of the Umps - one of the AFL’s best ‘liquidators’

 

[Punts]

Port will shit the bed

Got a feeling they are underrated this year

Imo they will go deep this time
