Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[Bigger]

Found out today that there’s a town in Scotland called ‘Bigger’ and its tagline is “London is big but Bigger is Bigger’. Thought you should know.

Sounds areet.

 

[pK75]

We should all be supporting the cats tonight, VFL hate the idea of two “interstate” teams being in the grand final, if it happens this year there’s no way they’ll let it happen again next year.
We all know our best chance of winning a GF is against another non vic team, so should be hoping for that next year.

 

[gaskin]

Support Geebung? No chance in hell.

 

[s_wd6]

The Geelong hate is unwarranted imo. You hate them why? Because they've just been good for so long? Reminds me of oppo fans hating the Wildcats in the NBL because they're just historically better than everyone else.

We've beaten them in those finals, and there isn't any recent rivalry between the two teams, and we've actually had the upper hand over them in recent times. They haven't poached any of our players and there's not really any sniping grubs on their team. The worst thing they've done against us is play a home final on their home ground and lose it.

Just a very boring team to hate for no reason because you'll never get the satisfaction of seeing them bottom out, let alone miss finals for more than a year in a row.

I'm barracking for Geelong. Selwood is gone. Love watching the likes of Cameron, Stewart, Dempsey, Stengle. Huge respect for Scott.

Don't want Neale winning one, and I find Fagan, Rayner, Hipwood, Zorko, Berry immensely unlikeable. I think it's a rort with their F/S and academy picks. Same with Sydney, so I don't want them to win either.

Brisbane being deep in finals for the past six years and still getting free access to top 3 picks is a disgrace really. Fagan is such an unlikeable campaigner that the media have always tried to make out to be this cute old likeable grandpa and it's nauseating. Never forget that campaigner literally staying over at Neale's place (a contracted player) over the trade period to pressure a deal to get done and play good guy.

If they hate the idea why would they let the idea happen any year?

Brisbane took it right up to Collingwood in the GF and almost won. They are a better chance of defeating Sydney then Geelong.

I don’t care about Sydney either. I’d rather them than Brisbane easily.

 

[Dockeroo]

Their close game record was horseshit, we were honestly robbed of another top 10 pick.

We probably would have given any extra draft capital from port finishing 10th instead of 3rd to Richmond in trade week anyway, for minimal extra change back. At least based on the speculation of what Bolton is worth is trending towards.

By the time trade week comes around he’ll be worth 3 firsts

I've been pleasantly surprised on the prices said from media for Bolton to be honest. It's Baker I don't understand

It's quite simple, if Sydney winning means Chad requests a trade to Freo then go Sydney. If he wants to stay in Sydney then go Brisbame.

I have always hated them. Plus an Eagle I know has started supporting them now that the Weags are shit. He is insufferable at the best of times and he will be a lot worse if they win the flag. **** them and **** him.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Neale dogged us.

I'm all aboard the Cats v Swans cause I just don't care if either win it.

And they gave us Jordan Clarke

 

[Purple Jesus]

I dislike Geelong because Victoria.

 

[Bigger]

Blue and white hoops. Polly Farmer. Pasties Peake. Mark Bairstow. Stephen O’Reilly.

Playing entertaining footy under Blight but perennially falling short.

Hating West Coast.

There is a lot to like about Geebung.

 

[anchor man]

I want a GF that has no VFL team in it.
Brissie today. Swans and Lions GF.

They’re both essentially VFL teams come on now

 

[mattis117]

At the ground, just hoping for a close one!

 

[Jeba]

Go the lions.

 

[Jeba]

Fk off selwood

 

[Dump Truck]

Zorko could get weeks for that if they lose. Obviously won't even be looked at if they win

 

[armpit]

Nervous start all round.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Game is looking bottom 4 quality
