Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2019

[Strange Cat]

Finally caught up with Deadwood: The Movie (a miracle and a masterpiece, btw), flick on the footy and it's Dead-wood against the Tigers.

I guess the Pies are going through a H.T.L. as well.

Can’t wait to watch that one day

 

[frggr]

Tigers gameplay is very predictable

You’d think and hope that we and other teams have been planning to combat their game style for the finals

How do you combat "move it forward at all costs and take a chance the umpire won't ping you for incorrect disposal"?

I suppose high possession coupled with skilful run and gun?

 

[Frappe]

I'll give credit where it's due

Bruce just said "Sidebottom has worked his butt off tonight."

 

[frggr]

How do you combat that though? Even if you know.
It's not even footy. Its sprinty forwardbally

Hahaha great minds think alike!

 

[Shai]

RiiiiiiiiiiiOooooli, you could just see the desk rising there, what a deflation.

 

[hoopla]

Put De Goey on the ball and he’d be the best player in the league.

Yep. I really like his gamestyle.

 

[frggr]

I don't reckon this will be a total blowout. Richmond will win but not by more than 4 goals or so. Collingwood are juuuusssst figuring out the Richmond plan.

 

[frggr]

In the back? That is a TERRIBLE call.

And better conditions for the Pies runners.

How does Eddie feel about the drug soaked Jesus flying the flag.?

DEGOEY DEGOES BANGGGGG

Got a bit of the Charles Mansons about him

 

[year of the cat]

Reckon Pies have been given a raw deal by the umps tonight. That had to be in the back to Grundy after the woeful decision in Vlastuin’s favour

 

[frggr]

holy crap the collingwood defenders are putrid. 10 metres behind Riewoldt.

 

[frggr]

Geeeez, ducked into that one, Stack.

 

[Shai]

Got a bit of the Charles Mansons about him

I'm laughing but I know it's wrong. The sorta shock or hysterical laugh.

Yes, to a certain degree he does.

 

[Mr Meow]

they will win it.
Pies are the only team that could trouble them at the G in September. Pants on.

They might be firming as favourites but it is unbelievably naive to declare the premiership outcome so definitively, already. No surprise that it happens on BF all the time but I didn't expect you to be on that train.

 

[James1970]

Can’t wait to watch that one day

It's like watching the 1989 Grand Final, but with an extra five minutes blessed by God kicking a torp, 75 out, to seal it.

Mainly as I had them preseason as my tip.
They have taken til late July to regain that authoritative form.
I had us as losing the GF fwiw.

What a shock

 

[frggr]

I'm not quite sure how Richmond always manage to have superior numbers at the contest, but never get caught out in other parts of the ground.

 

[frggr]

Lynch is as protected as they come. What was that?

Yeah I know, it just reminds me of last year and many other years in the past decade. The favourites tag has often been a curse. I know you will say Collingwood got rid of them last year and are now ill-equipped to do so, ergo a Richmond flag is guaranteed. Football/sports just don't work so easily. There's a huge amount of time for anything to change and an upset can happen at any time.

The flag race is wide open.
