No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 4

[Testekill]

Hello my name is Mr.Drih. Yes that will do. I support ... a team other than Essendon and I think that James Hird should be the next Essendon coach.

 

[NBates]

Ah, the continuing saga makes me feel like a dog rolling in poop - as happy as larry...

 

[hutchy31]

So this has probably been asked elsewhere on the board - apologies if so but I haven't seen it.

Who are we rooting for/OK with/might avoid vomiting if they win the flag?

Geelong - normally one of my most-hated teams, but don't feel that strongly this year.
Melbourne - probably because most of my vitriol will lie here. No thanks.
Sydney - again, a hated team but like they way they play. Torn.
Collingwood - difficult to root against this team given how they've played across the year. Could even be second preference?
Freo - perfectly fine with them winning. Preferred choice.
Brisbane - should be fine with them winning but I'm not. Don't think I need to worry about that though, they're very flawed.
Richmond - no, they've had enough. Would rather them winning over Melbourne but that's about it.

So Freo, then probably Collingwood, then throw a blanket over the rest - except Dees in last, but probably going to have a bet on them for the flag to cushion the blow just in case.

Hey guys - I'm currently trying to collect every Afl GF on dvd atm.
Earlier this year I managed to get the 25 year pack which covered 1991-2015, and I recently jumped on a sale and got 2018-21 for cheap, but I've been unable to find 2016 online.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one? (Or if someone has a spare copy they'd be willing to sell?)

This except **** Geelong the most. I hate them.

Geelong nope
Melbourne nope, unless they’re playing Geelong
Sydney no thanks, unless they’re playing Geelong
Collingwood could be considered
Brisbane nope they won’t win
Richmond nope, unless they’re playing Geelong
Fremantle will be out of it but they can’t win either
Bulldogs we can win one, after that I’m not ready to predict

So, realistically, if not us, Collingwood…

 

[dogwatch]

If not Dogs then …

Freo or Collingwood ok

Brisbane and Sydney I could live with (as long as Sydney get a 25-12 FK count in the GF and only win by a goal, should shut up the whingers)

Melbourne, Richmond & Geelong - puke

Unfortunately the chances are that the GF will be a puke v puke.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Don’t care as long as it ain’t Geelong.

I used to hate Geelong but to be honest, these days I can't help admiring them. Every year they are predicted to drop off but they never do. They have somehow managed to avoid the rise and fall cycle that other clubs go through. Chris Scott should be regarded as one of the best coaches of the modern era and I feel like he and his side should have another flag to bookmark this incredible era that they've had.

As for Melbourne and Richmond, they can go **** themselves. I despise both.

The rest are okay. Sydney will always hold a special place in my heart because of the amazing wins we had over them in 2015/2016. Freo I have always liked, but even more so now that a couple of BullGods are involved with their club. Collingwood have been awesome to watch this year. Brisbane are just a weak, spineless team who will be knocked out in week one.

 

[doggies ftw]

Freo or Pies for me, absolutely **** the rest of em

 

[CDBulldog]

Even had we missed finals this season's been such a glorious gift I feel like sending some flowers to Windy Hill with a thank you note.

View attachment 1489374

Glorious, I ****in hate that club. Last year I called it their list was shit and they wouldn’t make finals this year, despite all the circle jerking from the media. I really really really hope they sign Hird so I can label them desperate and irrelevant rather than just irrelevant!!!.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

If not the dogs, they might as well call the whole thing off as far as Im concerned.

Nooooooooo!

Can you imaging the HUN if Jimmy gets the gig?

Robbo will give himself a semi- literate flagellation!!

...every day!

...across 12 pages!

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Stewart getting in over Sicily, Barass and Laird was a ****ing disgrace.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Stewart getting in over Sicily, Barass and Laird was a ******* disgrace.

Tom Lynch should have been in the side and I reckon Rozee pretty lucky too

 

[gangsta deluxe]

It’s the worst side selection in my memory (although bont and macrae not being in there was totally correct)

Hawkins as captain is the lazy choice. Because there were weaknesses in the teams in which captains made it (either the teams underperformed or showed some lack of composure) they went with a left field choice and honoured a long standing player.

Problem is that they did this simply for the purpose of getting a captain in the squad in this case and he didn’t deserve to be there (Lynch did). Reminds me of the Selwood AA captaining except it’s worse as Hawkins isn’t actually a captain.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Laird hasn’t played defence for at least 2 years.

The Dees finished 2nd. Everyone finished under Geelong and I’m not sure Gawn really lacked composure so still a very odd/stupid choice of captain

 

[Floridog]

I have to (checks contract) yes, I have to go for the Pies if the Doggies don't make it on account of them having an American on the list.

[Dogs_r_barking]

I see that Zorko was provoked by Melbourne players first according to Caro. Has there ever been such a classless club as Melbourne?

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Laird hasn’t played defence for at least 2 years.

Does that matter in AA selection? It hasn’t previously. He’s a mid who can rotate back.

In any case when you consider the whole team there is a case for his entry over others.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Yeah I think they were vibing off Melbourne not having the second half of the year that was expected.

If given the choice I’d have made Touk captain.

 

[doggies ftw]

Tom Lynch should have been in the side and I reckon Rozee pretty lucky too

Rozee should absolutely not be in there -

Bont vs Rozee, try and make an argument for Rozee!

 

[Libbaaaa]

Gawn, Cripps and Miller are all in the team yet they make Hawkins captain? Sure. Also Stewart's last few months (suspension included) meant he should have been nowhere near the final team.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Also Zorko is an A grade toss but seriously fk Melbourne for the way they have carried on as the innocent victims despite being just as complicit in all this. Loser club.
