Oppo Camp Non Eagles AFL discussion thread III

[bombard]

I'd be lying if I said I was unhappy when Woosha left us.. but boy oh boy, he's in for a world of pain. Very sorry to see him have to contend with it.

 

[Gaffy Duck]

I picked North and Snake Baker is blaming the umpires for a loss in which the dole bludgers scored 14 total points.

Essendon board has a high bar to clear.

You could say.. it’s all.. Gaffening.. over there

 

[WCEforeverman]

The Wallabies have a record of 10-2-2 in Perth since 2000.

We should play every game here

 

[Kellythatsit]

Just watching the pressers. Holy **** Chris Scott comes off as a petulant sook while woosh presents himself as a professional and considered spokesman. You’d have thought the cats were the team who were smashed by 104 points.

Michael Rischitelli? Did I just wake up in 2012?

What? I thought he was long gone. How old is he?

Can always rely on baker for a quality melt

Two teams almost finished with one goal tonight. GWS scored 0.4 in a half last night. Gold Coast things happened. Melbourne had 3 goals to 3/4 time. 2019 footy

STATE OF THE GAME NARRATIVE

 

[Smeg Head]

Petulant Sook is a very concise way to sum up the whole geelong football club.

If you're going to read the Norf board, get some popcorn. Snake and a Brisbane mod are going for 12 rounds.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

If you're going to read the Norf board get some popcorn, Snake and a Brisbane mod are going for 12 rounds.

After a day in which they kicked one goal while Brisbane had a 90 point win, they’ve tagged a Brisbane mod in to harass him, complained when he’s responded, argued that the umpires helped Brisbane win by 90, argued that the umpires cost them a chance at the game, and complained about their tax dollars funding Geelong’s stadium. All of this directed at a bloke who had zero involvement in the thread or their forum prior to being tagged in.

North fans complaining about free hand outs and umpiring on a day they won the count yet kicked one goal, all the while tagging in a mod and complaining he showed up. **** me it’s popcorn time over there.

Honestly this thread has been more interesting than all of the games this round

WOW... That is some “interesting” reading there. Unhinged to put it mildly. I still recall the insults by those two particular posters towards WCE supporters in the aftermath of the inaugural Brad Scott Week game in 2013... 6 years later and nothing has changed

 

[bombard]

Brad Scott Week has been upgraded to Rhyce Shaw New Long-Term Contract Week

The umpiring in the third quarter of our 49 point victory two weeks ago copped a mention in there. Loyal to a fault those two.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

And that'll be the end of Woosha the coach.

I thought he had already ended. Oh wait

Latest ladder predictor. Obviously if we win out this is redundant, but let’s project us losing to Richmond for the sake of the exercise. Was trying to get my head around the Richmond tactical tank for fourth place option, which is looking less likely by the day.

Assumptions:
West Coast beat Adelaide and Hawthorn, lose to Richmond.
Geelong beat Carlton in R23.
Collingwood beat Adelaide and Essendon.
Percentage order stays as it currently is.

All plausible in my mind. This creates a branching situation on the ladder.

Option 1: Geelong beat Brisbane, Richmond beat Brisbane. Result: 1. GEE, 2. WCE, 3. RICH, 4. BRIS

Option 2: Geelong beat Brisbane, Brisbane beat Richmond. Result: 1. GEE, 2. BRIS, 3. WCE, 4. COL

Option 3: Brisbane beat Geelong, Brisbane beat Richmond. Result: 1. BRIS, 2. GEE, 3. WCE, 4. COL

Option 4: Brisbane beat Geelong, Richmond beat Brisbane. Result: 1. GEE, 2. BRIS, 3. WCE, 4. RICH

So basically if Geelong win next week, and assuming the percentage order stays how it is today, Richmond can’t afford a tactical tank for fourth, as they instead might wind up in fifth. Also, in this scenario second place may well be up for grabs for Richmond via percentage, so why would they tank?

Conclusion: Go Geelong.

West Coast are shit

 

[HoneyBadger35]

There have been seven instances this year of a team kicking 21 or more goals in a match.

Dogs kicked 21 consecutive goals today. Amazing.

Anyone else hear an interesting rumour re Collingwood?

 

[ziad]

Anyone else hear an interesting rumour re Collingwood?

Two options, it is true and the AFL will cover it up to 'protect the game' (Profit). Or it is 100% fabrication

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

Anyone else hear an interesting rumour re Collingwood?

What is the alleged rumour?

 

[DickDunn]

I haven’t checked in on the scandal and rumours board for a while but I’d like to think someone has probably already made a Jeffrey Epstein cover up analogy

 

[new breed]

Whisper the Hill brothers to both request a trade to Hawthorn !!
