Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[W.C. Fry]

I dont recall a season where teams could get out to a 5 or 6 goal lead but then momentum swings completely the opposite.way and that lead evaporates the next quarter.

Happens almost every game now.

Not trying to sound bitter due to where we sit in the scheme of things. But this year has to have the lowest quality of teams overall ever. Every team is bog average.

Look at Sydney, who will finish top of ladder. I would back our 1991, 2005 and 2015 team to touch them up in the GF. Let alone any of our premiership teams. If Port of 2007 got this year's Sydney in the GF it would still be a 127 point loss.... just to Sydney.

Hawthorn are a mathematical chance top finish top 4

Threat in the finals are Hawthorn lost two games which were robbed in the last quarter .
Best team in the competition second half of the season .
Hawks either way have a bright future, might be a pretty good marking defender in their squad in 2025 also .

 

[DorothyG]

Beautiful situation for us tomorrow.
Win and it roots Carlton.
Lose and it roots Freo.

And we're 16th either way.

Na, F*** that lose noise.

Just win.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

All I can say is, even if we don't win today, the fact Freo lost has made my weekend.

Unless they get big heads a (like adelaide this year) and come in next year thinking it will just happen.

I don't Think someone like sam mitchell will let that happen tho

 

[KERRPOW]

Contrary to my initial belief.

If freo win against port they will scrape into finals.

Even if carlton win against us today. I can't see them winning against the saints next week.

Agreed - this is what equalisation looks like I guess (combined with 18 teams spreading talent thin). The good news is that you don't need heaps of talent to rocket up the ladder. Look at Hawthorn and Pies, a couple of guns can carry a group of role players (provided the coach can get them to work together).

Yep, I can see Carlton losing their last two.

Geez, still a full qtr to go!

 

[WCErevival]

5 years straight bottom 2. No other team has done that in recent memory. Not even Gold Coast, Carlton or Melbourne.

 

[jesterwester]

Sheezel has obviously been papering over a number of cracks at north.

They seem incapable of any decent forward movement without him.

 

[Farang83150]

Hope Hawthorn absolutely smash Richmond into next yr

 

[TY24]

Concessions FC putting on a master class today

Richmond might be in for a very long day today.

He's the absolute outlier from that draft, miles in front of everyone else

Even his mate Wardlaw who everyone seems to rave about is miles behind. Very poor today

Think you're getting your wish.
