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

Great game that.

Swans gassed. Reid iffy (a bit like Holmes I guess in regards to whether he can get up or not).

Best two teams get to go at it and the Cats get to show just how good they are.

Can't wait.

But Melbourne were knocked out last week...

 

[coylez]

good result

 

[DangerHere]

McRae going to blame the umps in the presser?

Does he coach the Tuggers ?

 

[BotsMaster]

I don't agree with King about this being the best prep for the Swans going into a GF.

 

[Mr Meow]

Swans choke but somehow survive after the Collingwood onslaught practically destroyed them. Couldn't write a better script. Their last 1.5 quarters were shocking. Game should've been done early in the third but I'm glad it didn't pan out that way.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Reckon Collingwood were stiff there. Sydney with 2-3 goals from poor umpiring decisions. Sydney completely gassed in that last quarter. They're lucky to make it through.

Somehow BF hasn't died i am in shock

LOL "week off helped us run it out in the end"... ****en what?!

Imagine how bad they would have been without that week off then.

 

[Commando]

Have the Swans played their GF already?

Mmm not sure. The same thing happened in 2007. One team wins a close prelim, the other in a canter.

 

[Wojcinski]

Watching that gives me real confidence next week. Sydney wilts under actual pressure and can't run a game out

 

[Romeoh1]

Swans were ok. Pies were ok -not the team who played us.Thought, unlike our game against the pies, they got back into because they swans dropped off. We actually had to earn the win in that first final. Swans forward line will struggle to score against us. Looking good!

LoL - I'll take the credit for that - and only just, had a power outage at home and couldn't up the server capacity until five minutes before the end

 

[Wojcinski]

Mmm not sure. The same thing happened in 2007. One team wins a close prelim, the other in a canter.

The opposite happened in 2011

 

[YOTC]

I was thinking Sydney was a genuine 50/50 even halfway through the 3rd. Watching them run out of legs has boosted my confidence.

Sydney are a great club though and nothing is free.

Gotta give Collingwood credit, they don't stop running. Makes our win even more impressive considering we were behind.

Swans will recharge. Will be similar to the QF high pressure and go down to the wire I think.

one team was absolutely ascendant in 2007 and the other not so.

 

[YOTC]

Hodge after picking the Lions says he'd rather have Sydneys game. Of course you would campaigner.

 

[winty]

This proved to be the sealer...

 

[Spearman]

So the story will be SDK on Buddy all week. Or will we put Henry on him?

 

[Rilian]

Swans awfully excited considering they only just fell over the line..

 

[Commando]

From memory more examples of teams blowing out the next week...

They were almost 40 up not like a neck and neck game

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Did anyone hear the fans on the TV then? Swans fans saying "see you next week" to Pies fans leaving, Pies fans saying "Go Cats" hahah

As a former Sydney resident, attending VFL from 3yo, SCG member + experiencing the most abject, subhuman behaviour from Collingwood fans. The hatred between the teams rivals every other, single team rivalry.

I have my doubts they looked very gassed
