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

Amazing momentum swing for Carlton. They looked dead in the water.

1st QF is on a Friday because SF are on a Saturday, so you get an extra days break. Its frustrating because you want the extra day, but it completely *s over our fans.

Last years QF was a Saturday, and has been in the past.
I assume it's usually a Friday night for what you say, as well as usually being a big blockbuster match up.
If we play an interstate team I'm fine with Friday night, it's just if we face an MCG tenant like 2017 where it's essentially an away final after finishing on top.

Amazing momentum swing for Carlton. They looked dead in the water.

Even when Johnson slotted that goal and the crowd went dead I did notice Blues contested work and work ethic didn't drop. They looked dead in the water but no heads dropped. And now the goals are going through they look amazing.

Coll are being absolutely destroyed right now in contested possession

 

[The_Todd07]

Quarter time at Marvel
Enjoyable game so far
St Kilda having a crack but Sydneys class has them in front
Live ladder has us up against Freo

And of course the Pies scrub a goal out of no where and it HAD to be that bleached tiprat.

 

[Grimoz]

Fair goal on the left

Close will have a field day on Clark.

At any given time we’ve been playing Syd, Freo and the Pies next week. Great end to the h&a season.

 

[Gunf]

Dogs fans crying real hard right now

Daicos becoming a bit of a protected species...

 

[Mr Meow]

I scratched my head when a few here declared the Pies the premiership favourite (or Geelong's biggest threat) after they scraped the Dees game. That streak really got people drinking the Kool Aid.

They are simply not that good and haven't been all season.

Has been since day 1

 

[And_ROOS]

Carltons Motlop is just like our old one. When the heat was on early he was no where to be seen, but has been putting the icing on this quarter.

 

[Gunf]

Pies are going to get blown off the park against Richmond week 1

 

[PzBlinky]

I was on the Blues bandwagon for the lolz, but damn - I'd love to be playing these Pies first week.

Tigers will get Pies week one

Nah they have a defender that can shut down Lynch.

First week of finals shaping to be great:

Cats v Freo
Dees v Swans
Lions v Blues
Pies v Tigets

Excellent for MCC members

 

[Falconx]

Carlton is up +47 in contested possession despite not having close to their best midfield. That is as big of a murdering as you will see in that department.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Nah they have a defender that can shut down Lynch.

Lynch may not even play. He was subbed out yesterday and had ice on his groin.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Pies are going to get blown off the park against Richmond week 1

Yep. Tigers will be licking their lips

 

[cats_09]

I know there's still a quarter to go in this match, but are these last two matches from Collingwood a bit more reflective on where they actually sit in terms of the ladder position when compared with how much they were talked up at times during that 11 game winning streak?

Yes they had some good wins during that streak, but they also had some very scratchy wins where they got out of jail, and just maybe those wins gave a false sense of how they were actually traveling compared with the rest of the comp

Would have been one of those small lunch box ice packs.
