Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2023, part I

[Mr Meow]

Imagine having to play Blues or Tigers week 1 finals.

Pretty exciting. Would be a huge match and perfect tune up for week 2 for the victor.

I’d like to play Carlton lol half my family is Carlton would be fun lol

I can't get over the free given away by Cox against Curnow. Cox just went for the ball, Curnow just went sideways and buried his head into Cox's arm. Free kick Curnow.

I'm sure they're adjudicating the rule correctly. The rule itself has to be incorrect

That was really a case of Cox being penalised for being a giant.

Geez you’d love to play Tigers given they are a bottom 10 side.

all over again - but a hell of alot worse

The only kick i saw him get in the 2nd half - was a dubious ruck shepherd free kick that was it - i dont know what hed bring to Geel - very little

 

[Grimoz]

Im so glad Carlton won the flag, so deserving....oh wait!!!!

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

It's going to be all on us if we make it or not now.

 

[small 4wards]

Sorry, don't Essendon fans hate Carlton equally to Collingwood?

sorry that my dead mum doesn't meet the standard of your ideal essendon fan.

You have nothing to worry about. Tom DeKoning re-signed with Carlton a few days ago, so he won’t be coming to us!

 

[Mr Meow]

It always was. A few top 8 sides faltering and a few who were out of the top 8 climbing changes nothing for us. 12.5 wins and a % above 115 gets finals.

Well done on Carlton on winning - and getting the vital 4 pts

I only watched the 2nd half - and i thought Coll had 65-70% of the play but were badly inaccurate - it just wasnt their night

However i still think they will win the Premiership and quite easily

Their forward line was a slight concern - however Jeremy Howe 3 goals in the last qtr - thats exactly what theve been looking for - someone who gives that forward line an X factor - like Rohan does to ours

We've seen Howe play as an effective forward previously, but the big question will be if their defence can stand up in finals without him - he just seems such an important player for them back there

More money than sense...

I thought the free was there. It's a pretty basic rule of our game that you can't put an arm around someone's neck. And it was there for a long time. Cox has to take responsibility for where his arm is.

Cox didn't put his arm around Curnows neck though. He put it around his shoulder and Curnow did a pirouette into it for the audience members in green.

It’s only a two horse race. ….

Point made, I'm the one who's sorry

At the G, given they already beat us this year, would not love.

Elimination for the loser, so be it- we aren't top 4 this year

You mean the game they beat us when we were without Stanley, De Koning, Stengle, Rohan, Dangerfield, Jack Henry, O'Connor and Close?

Is TDK injury prone?
SS was a gun, a B&F WINNER prior to his injuries. Even at Geelong, Scooter showed great form and ability in some games when he was fit- admittedly not often enough

Good point.
They missed a few as well iirc.
Still, I hate playing them at the G in a ko final.
