Oppo Camp 2024 Finals Discussion (other games)

[Bumpswithagrin]

Hoping the first half will be enough to carry em through. But the Lions are soft as.

Lions are soft, Blues are soft, Port are soft. Why do we have so many mentally soft teams at this elite level? And they are playing finals! Something rotten in the state of Denmark.

 

[Viddiot]

Oh, O.K.....this isn't a dis, but Carlton's only objective tonight was to have Doc(?) kick a goal in a final. It all makes sense now.

 

[Maybloomer]

Hawks have everything to gain and nothing to lose in 2024. Every final is experience towards a massive tilt in 2025 with B1 and B2. (et al ?) A ticket to the Big Dance would be a dream come true but the road to a dynasty may need to involve heartache and I'd rather it's this year. We're writing the cheques this month. We'll cash them when the time is right*

* This is my Get Out Of Crankiness Free Card should I need one the next few weeks.

Maybe it's so mentally tough teams like us can continue to entertain and enthrall all.

I can see why we were into Lohman- kid loves to showboat.

Carlton should force their players, but more importantly their fitness staff to watch this game back with match sticks keeping their eyelids open on repeat all off season.
They need a serious rocket and they seriously need to improve their bottom end.

 

[Max Powers]

GWS v Bris should be interesting. Thinking Giants will come away with it though.

No, despite us being there earlier than expected and starting the year slow. We've been the best side in the competition for many months now.

It's bloody hard to make finals and win them so there is no certainty we are back here next year even with recruits and expected improvement.

Need to win the flag this year. We're a better side than Port and Brisbane, we can beat Geelong and Sydney if we get things right. And GWS we know we can beat and should have 2 wins on them already.

Get the cup, bring in the big guns, move to Dingley then go undefeated for the next 5 years too.

Have a soft spot for Brisbane but they are mental pygmies. Can't see them getting past GWS.

 

[Flag08]

Only Melbourne side left in it

 

[KermitJagger]

Only Melbourne side left in it

Only chance of a decent GF is Hawks v Geelong or a rerun of Swans v GWS. I have no faith in Brisbane if they make it, and the Victorian sides historically just play MCG finals so much better.

That's actually not a bad idea.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Only 3 clubs worse than Carlton right now, North, coast and tigs…they shouldn’t be in the finals

Yeah this bizarre year has led to a few anomalies. Blues shouldn’t be in the 8 and port shouldn’t be 2nd.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Was anyone else hoping Carlton went into half time with donuts?

Would have been a record etched in stone forever more. Literally never to be beaten.

 

[peetoo]

Carlton gave more of a fight than port

 

[Brishawk]

Carlton gave more of a fight than port

Mot sure about that. Carlton conceded the first 9 goals of the game and then the lions took their foot off the pedal.

 

[Off The Couch]

Freo supporters would of thrown something at the TV after seeing what they gave up to the blues - appalling football

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Heeney's mark was up there with the best I have ever seen and he held onto the ball all the way down. Unbeleviable!
Edit: Lucky for Heeney that Buckley grabbed his wrist and caused him to tip over or it would have had his head pile driven into the ground.

 

[peetoo]

10th year in the AFL and heeney finally fulfills the ‘potential’

Needs to be Bourne in mind. Swans have had some finals shockers in that time

 

[peetoo]

Geelong nicely ‘under the radar’ but look very steely. Should be favourites.

 

[Hawkk]

Geelong nicely ‘under the radar’ but look very steely. Should be favourites.

Long way to go but the simulations have them as favourites

 

[flamin_heck]

Geelong nicely ‘under the radar’ but look very steely. Should be favourites.

Are they though? They’re favourites in many people’s eyes now- especially the gf being at the G. Port Adelaide genuinely choked, the Cats looked like millionaires and now the pressure is squarely on them in the prelim. The Cats are mortal this season as we’ve seen, GWS or Brisbane are more than capable of knocking them off.

I can't unsee that. Why the **** did you post that shit here?

 

[peetoo]

Squiggle also likes the lions this week. Both teams in the premiership winning area of the graph
