Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2022, part II

[Pavlovs Cat]

Absolutely embarrassing Zorko. Id be gutted if a Geelong Captain carried on like that.

Do we know what actually happened with Petty?

Geelong v Fremantle first final, play it at Marvel . This Cam Luke is a deadset moron.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Zorko acted like a knob after Miller tagged him out of a game few years back .

 

[Spearman]

Pretty similar to how we’ve been in the past too.

Sometimes the players just need to wake up.

Do they have any real onfield leaders? Zorko isn't much of a leader.

 

[catempire]

Weak as piss Lions

The worst thing is the media are going to go on and on about how Melbourne is back, and not take into account they basically beat a mediocre team. It was flat-track bully time at the Gabba tonight. Brisbane is crap. They won't get it so easy against the Cats and the Swans, or Richmond for that matter who have worked out how to play them.

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Brisbane are flaky as. Can’t believe anyone wouldn’t thought they’d be a shot against Melbourne especially after they were lucky to win against a cooked Saints last week

 

[rocker_oz33]

No more long sleeves for North ....

Let them. Will be great for us if everyone (including the Dees themselves) think that they're suddenly overwhelming favourites for the flag again. We are a different proposition to last year, and it will suit us just fine if all the talk is about 'how far Melbourne?' in the lead-up to any final we play against them this time around.

We will remain favourites for the premiership until we lose a final.

Stephenson doesn't like this

 

[Catman]

Is Fagan actually the right choice as senior coach, or would he be better in a football manager type role, such as he had at Hawthorn?

Seems to be a case of out of sight out of mind for the Melbourne-centric media. He's been there for six seasons and for all the hype, delivered a finals record worse than ours.

I also don't like the apparent arrogance of the Brisbane side. They have achieved absolutely nothing yet love to strut around with faux toughness when on top, but wilt like flowers in the summer sun when the heat is returned. The epitome of a downhill skier.

You play how the opposition lets you play. And yes, Melbourne’s forward entries looked great, but Brisbane were a rabble.

Guess the game in Geelong a few months ago wasn't a road trip...

In sporting parlance, being "on the road" refers to travelling long distances and sleeping in a hotel bed.

It doesn't literally mean driving an hour down the road.

It means being away from home for one or more nights. Not away from your "home ground" in another suburb, but away from your actual home: not having a home cooked meal, away from the wife, kids and the bed you normally sleep in; away from your normal daily routine.

It's an old baseball term from America, when teams would go "on the road" for a few weeks at a time and play multiple away games against 3 or 4 teams in other cities interstate.

Surely that is the best thing? Less external pressure on Geelong is a good thing.

But As year of the cat said above this does mean we are going to have earn it. We are not going to cruise to this 07 style beating ordinary teams (I had started to think that was possible). There is now at least one very serious contender.

Thank you for this incredibly pointless history lesson/observation.

So we are playing pies in the first final if wins go as expected.

No worries mate. Seemed like a few of you may have been confused about the definition. Happy to help wherever I can.

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Back One Out]

Yeah, that's it.. As opposed to....

 

[Warhorse]

Melb have the midfield to smash anyone. I hope we don't face them at the MCG. Would be a 50/50 game

Know it from sources too our past lions pair in CS & NL that some of the lions premiership greats do not like how this current group carry themselves.

**** seems like a good bloke .
He's done really well at Bris got them playing finals ,heaps better from since hes been there.
Just can't go the next level in pressure is on eg finals.

You expect them to bring the heat next week.

After he's coaching is over he would be an good manager...even at he's age .

They might bring the heat next week, but it's the week after when the finals start that I'm worrying about for them.

Bravo Brisbane Lions media team.
