No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 7

Subconscious psychological bias due to the blue in their jumper? I know it sounds ridiculous but for the past 20 years, Dogs, North, Blue, WC have always being the top of the free kicks list, with Geelong not far behind.

I posted this once before and it was suggested by another poster that the same thing has been discussed is the soccer world, with teams wearing blue supposedly more likely to be awarded penalties than non (tho I’ve not fact checked this).

I suspect I may have been the other poster, but I have no idea where to find that convo

I'm ready to believe you.

Yes, it was a few years ago. Blue jumpers and home games got more penalties, IIRC the home game effect wasn't universal and there was discussion if crowd noise was the determining factor in home games. Can't remember which thread.

It’s hard to believe that we get beaten by GC

They are an awful team and if Dew isn’t replaced by Clarkson next year I’m going to be gobsmacked

More chance of being at gws next year

I’m told that at a function where Clarko was speaking, he light heartedly said he hoped to turn his Tassie consultancy into a coaching gig

Who doesn’t love the map of Tassie.

I think Leon Cameron has a secret stash of photos because there’s just no explanation as to how he still has a job after all these years

Surely that’s years off
You would think more footy manager than coach - maybe he could be the next Balme around the clubs

Is the crowd hiding somewhere? In all the discussion about whether Tassie will have a viable team, these ‘clubs’ are 10 years in

I’d be nervous if I was Hinkley

They should all be nervous. I just think the appeal of taking a talented list to a flag in a short period coupled with gws being an expansion team would see him more likely go to gws. The afl want them to succeed much more than gc. Much more money at stake.

 

[Kil Phearns]

Surely it won't be GWS given that a certain J ****ing Hird now has a leadership role with that club?

100% , luckily weve got 2 from the same draft

 

[The hands of stone]

Early doors but Cats very susceptible if you take a chance or 2 through the corrider and move the ball quickly .
Hopefully we stay brave against them

they will win this though i reckon

Collingwood should be 5 goals up

 

[CHUBBSS]

Cats look like the die at the back end up halves and last quarters, send them to the corio retirement village

Yeah I think theyll grind the pies down , pies will rue those missed shots.

 

[daniel23]

When you look at age profiles it shouldn't come as a surprise seeing Collingwood do well. They have an average age around 25.3 for tonight's 22 in comparison we are sitting at 23.8.

 

[Viddiot]

Why do I bother watching Collingwood...Myacheck can EABOD's!

 

[RoughysMullet]

Selwood literally tells the umpires which free kicks to pay

 

[Off The Couch]

You have to love commentary (SEN) who are confused as to why Joel Selwood on his “special” night would be roundly booed

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Cats lead, but have been soundly beaten to date. Pies just can’t put it on the scoreboard.
