Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[KERRPOW]

They're spot on though

Entitled soft senior players who think they are better than they are that have driven the "culture" calling out young talents who give a shit about the club and misdirecting the problems onto them

Sound familiar

Coincidence.

So Brisbane finish 5th and miss out on top 4. Put a line through them.

Struggling to run out four quarters at home as it is, no chance they will be able to win away three weeks in a row after week one of finals.



Elsewhere, tomorrow for the Bulldogs sums up the knife-edge of success this year.

Lose against GWS and they could miss out on a finals place entirely.

Win, and they finish 6th, with a likely final against the Hawks to be followed by Geelong also at the MCG - they'll back themselves to win both.

Then a Preliminary Final in Sydney, against a team that will have once played just once in the 26+ days leading up to it, and where the Bulldogs have won away against both NSW teams this year.

Then a home Grand Final against non-Victorian opposition, like the Bradburyship of 2016 all over again.



So one team finishes 5th and will have to travel three times consecutively to take the flag in an away Grand Final.

Whilst another finishes 6th, will only need to travel once and has the guaranteed benefit of a Grand Final at home should they make it.

Seems fair.



As always, a national competition run for the benefit of Victoria.

I'd be angrier if Brisbane could kick.

Useless kents.

Giants do they need to win for a possible second spot ? ...not sure if they lose play Sydney at the SCG anyway .

 

[KERRPOW]

Dogs blowing chances infront of goal but the wind was blowing pretty hard.

Finish second if they win and Port lose

Finish fourth if they lose and play Sydney in week one of finals with a chance of winning a home prelim

Carlton choking and then Freo double choking would be amazing for the melts.

No sympathy for Brisbane. Can’t expect top four when you start 0-4 and then choke in winnable games at the end of the season.

No sympathy required because they’re good enough to win it.

I disagree… but if it means Geelong or Port not winning (out of the current top four) then that’s good, happy to be wrong!

Can’t see the Lions winning three away finals in a row. 5 seasons in the finals in a row, and a 1-3 record in finals outside of Brisbane. Would be a very big ask to turn it around this year.

 

[KERRPOW]

Wind is wreaking havoc down at mars.

Good game this.

 

[new breed]

Dogs are terriers , not over but favoured now .

 

[KERRPOW]

Umpire pulls out some arsy HTB that results in a giants goal

 

[KERRPOW]

GWS are hanging in there, byt dogs have the wind in the 4th.

 

[Tugga27]

Barring A GWS comeback, it's looking like a Bulldog versus Hawthorn elimination final.

I reckon they're close to the best two teams in it and one will drop out.

 

[Goroyals22]

It warms the heart to see a ground where it’s standing room only on the outer wing.

The purples chances are going down the shitter

Do not want Haynes. He’s been a complete liability today.

And a Syd v GWS qualifying final.

That would make things very interesting. If he got the dockers to stop being a rabble I might actually take an interest in their performance.

Lol - Imagine Simmo taking them to a flag and the majority of west coast fans getting behind them. Would trigger the die hard dockers big time, they finally win one but can't even laud it over us as we're celebrating too.

Carlton choking and then Freo double choking would be amazing for the melts.

Would rather not take the risk.
Hoping both Bulldogs & Carlton win.

Wasn't supposed to be playing today, they had 3 late changes.

 

[new breed]

Dogs and Hawks will be a game ...at

Marvel Stadium - Dogs
MCG - Hawks .

 

[InTheWings]

Looking like the Bulldogs have hammered the first nail in Freo's coffin.

 

[Forward Press]

Still not convinced on a depleted Carlton over St Kilda.
