Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

At the end of the day we probably have to win every game to make sure of it and that is for every team from now. There could be some crazy results.

Normally the top 5 or 6 are completely locked in by now.

Our soft losses are going to haunt us IMO but what an exciting few weeks ahead.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Dunno if I’m late to the party…but just did the ladder predictor for the first time…

There are some wild swings that can happen with teams going from 3rd to 9th during the last round.

Of course if Dons will all 4 they could finish as high as 4th…LOL

It is so tight this year…no one is locked in

14 wins might see you out of the finals.

Bring in the play in round 7 v 10 8 v 9 top 6 get the bye . Will not be everyone's cup of tea for sure but I do not mind it

If we beat Freo and Pies beat the Blues it’s fully ‘cat amongst the pigeons’ time.

Or just have all 16 teams in the finals. 1st vs 16th. 2nd vs 15th etc. And every game is an elimination. Finals run for 4 weeks.

And then when Tassie comes in the 17th team can miss out. Sorry Norf.


Edit: Lol, I must have ben stuck in the past, just remembered that there's 18 teams! Bottom 2 can miss for now, and bottom 3 when Tassie come in...

And Essendon made finals with 9.5 wins in 2009 lol

In a 16 team 22 games season.

idk why people are surprised that gold coast lost. they can't travel and having mcgovern coming in troubles every team.

And it's not like West Coast are pushovers at home. They almost beat us when we were playing well.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Eagles have had some decent players come back in last two weeks. Witherden, Duggan, McGovern, Yeo, Waterman and Darling.

 

[Nicholas61]

West Coast did have one of their better nights. Kelly was slick as, Ginbey was tough in the air and on the ground, their older forwards played like their better years where they rarely missed, Waterman plays like a power forward from the 90s, McGovern was outmarking Mac Andrew. West Coast lost to Brisbane by a couple of goals a fortnight ago.

rarely tries to kick the shit out of the ball. he loses distance on kicks but he’s extremely accurate because he almost needs up carefully poking it through. might be something for our forwards to consider

 

[Vindicater]

Crows up on Geelong in Geelong.

 

[Pweter]

This is the Port that laid waste to us. Just dominating everywhere

 

[Vindicater]

Jesus...

Has a team ever gone from dominant to absolute shit like Sydney has?

 

[DapperDon]

Jesus...

They'd want to hope they are doing the biggest pre finals training load of all time.

 

[JayJ20]

Sydney's fall has been something. Don't even look like scoring that quarter.

 

[MiguelM]

Is Papley a bigger loss than first thought?

 

[HirdyLannister]

Jesus...

We do it every year

 

[Zach Package]

‘They’re holding up the poo in diaper emoji sign Darce, what do we think that means?’

 

[Vindicater]

64-0...

This game will break Sydney...

 

[mike14]

Did they scrap the 'dissent' rule or have they just relaxed it a heap after calling everything early?

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Swans need Heeney back in the middle. Pushed him fwd when Papley went down and died since that point.
