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

[BotsMaster]

IIRC, he should of missed a GF after doing something in a prelim. I think from memory it was the 2017 prelim against the Giants.

Hit Dylan Shiel high and missed the rest of the game due to concussion.

 

[God Mode]

fair enough- although he missed all the finals

Yah, he still played a major part in us getting there. Digressing slightly, we would have been even more structurally fortified if he'd been present in our 08 side, as good as Taylor was in his first season.

Very surprising - Bucks is a genuine Geelong hater. He can't stand us but good on him for not letting it get in the way of his predictions.

 

[Gunf]

It is extremely rare that the top 8 has no changes.

Most likely 1 or 2 of last years 8 drop out.

 

[PzBlinky]

So the exact same teams as last year with a little bit of shuffling around? Bold call, Bucks.

Who do you see dropping out? Carlton in for Bulldogs maybe but most of the top 8 strengthened their list and/or have a good age profile. And man there are some deplorable sides in the bottom 10 so it's hard to see who climbs in unless Lyon weaves magic at St Kilda or Gold Coast finally break through. Perhaps Port.

Pretty much as you say. Carlton can easily make the eight (and should have last year). Same with Port - they're not as bad as they seemed last year. They're the two teams that I'd have as strong contenders. Maybe GCS could sneak in but nobody's going to back them unless they've got 11 wins with 3 rounds to go. As for who goes out, I'm less sure - Bulldogs seem a bit flaky and it wouldn't take much of a drop-off for them to fall out.

Freo or bulldogs or both to drop out imo

I'd love to say Richmond too but they'll be somewhere in the September mix.

Always a possibility but I think they’ll sneak in at worse …don’t think they’ll be a top 4 side tho

Maybe he thinks Hawkins will miss 15+ games to make it close

Someone seems a little bitter...

[Hamingja]

So if you finish the AFL season on top of the ladder you just get nothing now if the AFLW team stinks?

Looks that way.

Does every AFL Club have an AFLW side?

 

[cats_09]

So if you finish the AFL season on top of the ladder you just get nothing now if the AFLW team stinks?

Have they actually done anything over recent years for the team that finished top of the ladder at the end of the H&A season?

As per the following article, yes we were awarded it last year but does anyone remember any presentation or recognition for finishing top of the ladder - other leagues seem to do better in terms of recognising the team which finished top of the ladder at the end of the season, while with the AFL the focus seems more on GF Day

Maybe they could/should have started a new tradition/trophy instead of this tweak, but I like this idea and makes things interesting

Historic McClelland Trophy enters new era across AFL and AFLW

One of the AFL's longest-standing awards will now recognise success in both the AFL and AFLW elite competitions

www.afl.com.au

 

[cats_09]

Looks that way.

Does every AFL Club have an AFLW side?

Yes - as of the last AFLW season, there's 18 teams in the comp

Now it's a case of waiting for it to build from a 10 match season to be a full length one

 

[Hamingja]

Looks that way.

Does every AFL Club have an AFLW side?

Yeah I think everyone has one now
