Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVI

[bomberlegend2007]

Scary how far off we are to these sides.

Don’t think so. I feel like in footy, everything isn’t as bad, or as good as it seems.

Collingwood have had a season where everything is better than it seems. We have had the opposite.

Doesn’t mean we are going to play in a Qualifying Final next year, but we are not far off matching if we get the right coach. Won against Brisbane, won against Sydney, matched Melbourne and Collingwood for three quarters. It’s not all doom and gloom.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

So the Sydney side of the draw is looking concerning. I don’t want them to win, nor Collingwood or Bulldogs, so c’mon Freo all the way to the Granny please!

 

[Zach Package]

Switkowski back in is huge for Freo, I had no idea he was playing.

 

[yodellinhank]

Gary Rohan almost Gary Rohan'd it

Footy gods, huh? Fresh air a chest mark then trip over yourself running onto a loose ball... for the win.

 

[Vindicater]

Not Collingwood (**** Collingwood)

And

Not Sydney (**** handouts)

Anyone else I don't really care.

 

[windyhill]

Sam Darcy, holy ****.

 

[mike14]

Freo did not get the memo about playing close finals...

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Freo making Essendon’s final performance last year look good.

 

[mike14]

Doggies just destroying them.

It's also actually impressive how much the Dogs are able to throw the ball without getting pinged

 

[faible]

How does Collingwood go from 17th on the ladder one year to leading late in the 3rd in a qualifying final the next?

That 17th was very misleading, they weren’t a genuine bottom 4 side.

 

[fishardansin]

Have we ever played in a game with the level of pressure in these finals?

No, because it requires both sides to bring that pressure!!

Sydney's pressure was immense in the first quarter at the G.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

How ridiculous, need to adjust your head band in a contest at the goal square.

Short back and sides you idiots.

 

[fishardansin]

That 17th was very misleading, they weren’t a genuine bottom 4 side.

I'd go the other way. The way we played for 9 weeks last year, they have too and kept it going the first week of the finals.

Their list is about to fall off a cliff.

[RearNaked]

Dogs elimination final specialists almost

 

[fishardansin]

As bad as the last 17 years have been, all of us who are over 29 years old can remember being a powerhouse. Freo fans can only remember mediocrity.

 

[fishardansin]

The only significant fact about Freo is that they helped Essendon get Matthew Lloyd.

 

[Doss]

That 17th was very misleading, they weren’t a genuine bottom 4 side.

Not that misleading. They were pretty garbage last year.

 

[windyhill]

Uh-oh.

 

[fishardansin]

Uh-oh.

As I said .. um .. SQUIRREL

[fishardansin]

Poor Mrs Adams. I wonder if he'll do the right thing and get her a pool boy for the next 9 months.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Lobb would be an ideal Essendon player.

Talented but flaky, moments of brilliance but generally almost moments.

Mentally questionable.

No wonder Dodo was going to take him until Zach was still available.

 

[Lads2023]

I wish we got the same umpire treatment as the western bulldogs

Dunno. He's kicking goals and putting on his best Iceman.
