Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[MrKK]

People need to understand the difference between the likelihood of causing injury and the actual result. I could trip over walking sober into the pub and break my leg, or drive home drunk afterwards with no incident. Which of those do you think is more likely to cause injury?

This is the inevitable result of the AFL starting with the outcome and working backwards to find an offence. I'm glad someone found a way to trip them up on this (no pun intended).

Another brilliantly stage-managed result by AFL house.

Please form an orderly queue to apologise for mocking my early week call of Cameron free to play after three weeks was initially handed down...

 

[eaglespremiers]

A player caused - directly or indirectly, depending on which team you support - to the premature retirement of a player and he got 0 weeks just last year.

Correct, but he did receive a Premiership medal, so there were some ramifications for him.

Am I the only one here that thought Cameron's tackle wasn't that bad?

I don’t have an issue with the tackle and think it should have been put down as unlucky outcome.

The problem I have is that the AFL has decided that anything that appears unsafe must be unsafe and you get outcomes like Harley’s this year, Nic Nat not calculating his weight ratio correctly and the Gov being suspended as he should have known the ball was out of play when he shoved someone, even though it was pretty marginal.

Cameron looked like he put a bit of extra mayo on the tackle and good on him. We were once taught to go hard until the whistle blows, to put physical pressure on opponents.

But the real kicker is that under the current AFL system, everything can and is manipulated to whatever whim the AFL has on a case by case basis. Good fella Dangerfield goes hard, carry on. Cotchin chooses to bump in a prelim, carry on. Young fella Harley, ooh that looked dangerous. Take a break for a couple of weeks. Charlie Cameron, good fella defence. Barrass, ah you were so close to the good fella defence but fell a few games short.

So, not only do players now need to predict how games will unfold to decide whether to tackle hard or not, they also have to hope the outcome is not too bad and that they will fit into some narrative the AFL seems to be concocting.

They'll use the closeness of this season to justify it and ignore the fact that it's close because there are only two teams that are any good.

Plus 3 shit sides in 2024.

Last 2 or 3 years are all out of whack due to North and us Inflating everyone's wins stats and %

This wildcard idea is a joke!

History books will show a crappy 10th placed side played a final

Honestly, a final 8 is bad enough.

Top 6 out of 18 would feel like a true achievement making finals.

Well at least they’re adding a 19th and soon after 20th team!

Carefull Bender, in some circles your handle is inappropriate......someone is bound to take offence eventually.

Who ****ing asked you?!

 

[ioppolo]

Imagine if we'd played wildcard finals in 2021. GWS vs St Kilda, Essendon vs West Coast. Even though we went 2-7 to finish that season.

At least we would have made the next week of finals because we'd be playing Essendon...

 

[BrotherDodge]

Fyfe apparently hyped to piss away another flag opportunity with his horrible set-shot kicking that somehow hasn't improved in 11 years.

His handballing is like he has a blindfold on.

[amazingjoshy]

Isn't the rule now that the player with the ball can't fake out the guy on the mark and get 50 or am I dreaming?

No defensive side to this game

Not gonna lie. I love watching the Dons getting smashed. The constant cutting to Brad Scott in the box getting slowly more agitated. It's just good TV. Carn crows, keep it up.
