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

[Baudolino]

We wanted Hopper and once that wasn't possible we settled for Bruhn

Both Hopper and Taranto would have been significantly better fits for Geelong's list than Richmond's list given the respective needs of each team.

Both Hopper and Taranto would have been significantly better fits for Geelong's list than Richmond's list given the respective needs of each team.

Yet assuming Richmond wanted to avoid a full rebuild, there still wasn't a better option on the table.

Taranto would get a game here, Hopper I am not as sure.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I don't rate either but Hopper is better than Taranto.

 

[BotsMaster]

Dockers or Bulldogs tonight?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Dockers or Bulldogs tonight?

I can't back the Dockers. They have no reliable avenue to goal

 

[Gunf]

Dockers or Bulldogs tonight?

50/50 Dockers can't score and the Dogs are Bipolar

 

[Mr Meow]

50/50 Dockers can't score and the Dogs are Bipolar

Dogs ran out of puff last quarter against a Port side that I think have extra levels at home to what Freo can currently manage. If Dogs play like that again I think they could win.

 

[Warhorse]

I don't rate either but Hopper is better than Taranto.

As a general forward who also pushes occasionally into the midfield then Taranto is very good. As a pure mid.. not so much

He's like Dangerfield-lite but with no X factor or damage...and more turnovers.

 

[Strange Cat]

Dockers or Bulldogs tonight?

Dockers but with no confidence at all and only because it at home

 

[cats_09]

Dockers or Bulldogs tonight?

Meh

 

[Strange Cat]

Meh

I’m disappointed that there’s no meh option in the tipping competition

I'm hearing: nothing like Dangerfield.

 

[cats_09]

I’m disappointed that there’s no meh option in the tipping competition

Should we ask Chief to include that option next season?

 

[BotsMaster]

Be nice if we could just simulate this game like in Football Manager and move onto the next.

Early night …or if I’m having trouble falling asleep I’ll just watch a qtr

 

[Hamingja]

Meh

Can't even muster up tipping the draw tonight?

 

[cats_09]

Can't even muster up tipping the draw tonight?

Not tonight - thinking the Suns vs North game could present the best opportunity for a draw this weekend

 

[CatToTheFuture]

50/50 Dockers can't score and the Dogs are Bipolar

Dogs might be bi-polar but Freo at the moment are no-polar

 

[CatToTheFuture]

As a general forward who also pushes occasionally into the midfield then Taranto is very good. As a pure mid.. not so much

So the Tigers midfield solution this year was to trade for a younger Josh Caddy. Pinch me I'm dreaming

 

[Gunf]

Freo being destroyed and should be further behind.

They are a completely different side to last year

Aaron Naughton - 3 free kicks, 3 goals.

Wish Hawkins got as many Frees as other key forwards

He'd probably have broken Plugger's record by now if he did.
