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

[BotsMaster]

All square in the west. Dockers giving up a sizeable lead in that quarter.

Just on Norf seeing Clarko back it’s going to be awkward him assessing the list at the end of the year for who to keep and cut when he spent so much time away from the side imo

First week back .
And Hall hung up the boots .

I think he's got an idea who stays and who goes

 

[Vdubs]

Lions looking too good.
Spoke too soon I hope

 

[The_Todd07]

Brisbane winning is also good for us.
If the top 4 stays as is, week 1 will see:
Pies vs Power
Lions vs Demons

Pies and lions would be favored to win and if they do:
Melbourne would play winner of 6v7 at the G. The winner of that will play the pies at the G before a grand final most likely against interstate opposition
Or results don't fall or way and could have consecutive interstate finals

Edit: Brisbane lost too much percentage and ended up 3rd. Pretend that didn't happen and they are still 2nd

"Sydney are expected to play Melbourne at the SCG on Saturday afternoon or Saturday night, while Geelong and the Western Bulldogs are expected to meet at GMHBA Stadium under lights on Saturday night. Hawthorn are expected to play Fremantle at the MCG on Saturday in what will be a dead rubber."

Should be a cracker

2 teams ran into finals in very good form last year us and Sydney which also happened to be the 2 on GF day.

This year it seems most teams are all fumbling around and no one is going into finals in any real form.

Melbourne and Carlton are both in good form and checks notes oh look they play each other this weekend. Glorious.

Get used to seeing those words for a while, Hawfies

Hopefully we have the FTA tv game. I cancelled my Kayo as the finals are all on FTA anyway but because of the billing period I miss the last round of the H&A.

The Bulldogs game will possibly be an elimination final for us.

If both Sydney v Melbourne and Geelong v Bulldogs are on Saturday night, the Geelong v Bulldogs game will be on FTA. Can bookmark that.

Saturday Night and it'll affect the top 8, so surely on FTA.

Other game's probably a dead rubber by that point.

Petty has a Lisfranc Injury to his foot. Probably won't play again this year.

 

[CatRiot]

Geez, if we win a flag with our midfield this year. That would be hilarious.

I hear 6 weeks or so - so still time if the Demons go deep

 

[GeelongFTW]

Yeah but it would transcend danger more than an AA or Brownlow could.

 

[And_ROOS]

This feels like the kind of year a GWS or us could pinch it.

Possible. Although, I reckon the Blues will give it a huge shake.

As much as I'd like them to be true, I'm not so sure......

They're coming on better and quicker than I thought. They're doing better with their list it seems too.

 

[And_ROOS]

Blues are an interesting one. Their best this year has been excellent but their worst this year has been catastrophic. There is 4 weeks between now and finals, and a lot can change. 4 weeks ago it was the Pies to lose, with Port their only serious challenger. ATM top 4 Melbourne is the form team (but have now lost Petty to a serious injury as he was looking like their guy up forward), Port on a downward spiral, Pies dropped 2 and now have some serious injuries.

In 4 weeks time the Blues could be on a 10 game winning streak heading into finals. Or they could lose to Melbourne, beat GCS, lose to GWS and finish 9th depending on other results.

Bulldogs vs Cats Saturday night CONFIRMED

Please, don't torture me with that tantalising possibility!
