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

[CatToTheFuture]

Wonder what Finey does these days? Abrasive guy but did a good job with his slot on SEN all things considered.

He was on the footyology podcast with Rohan Conelly but then went to the real footy podcast. Not sure if he's still there

 

[Mr Meow]

Romeoh1 Collingwood not looking front of the pack tonight. Let's see if there have another last quarter miracle up their sleeves.

The problem is that they play a million games at the MCG and will win all of those, ala Richmond 2017-2019.

Yeah I used to listen to him on that and then dropped off it when he was replaced by Shaw. Looking at linkedin he owns a deli now.

That is a massive change in direction. I quite liked him

Saw a lot of the Richmond nuffies at Southern Cross. I was sad I didn’t known the GC theme song. But really who would know it?

This is ridiculous how a side can keep coming from behind like this… can’t recall a side like it.

Would have a heart attack if half our games went like that

What is hilarious is you couldn’t shut them up claiming it was the end of an era for geelong early on. Now look at things… and they have also given up their first rounder last year and this year.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Oh my God. Just so, so many Richmond users making our argument about not playing home games at the mcg against mcg tenants for us.

Need to screenshot for posterity

How the hell was that not a free kick to Murphy then?

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Umpires having a mare the last 30 seconds in Adelaide.
Obvious non-call then allows the ball to go near a player walking off with the doctor and pings the pies for it lol.

4 umpires have helped see the off the ball stuff but it hasn't helped get the calls correct

Terrible non call.
Either a free kick (an obvious one too) or even pay the mark.

I remember once on Easter Monday we got a 50 paid against us as Horlin-Smith entered the protected area as he was limping off while being assisted by two trainers.

Jeez the premiership is there for the taking for whoever wants it… nobody looks unbeatable or a star team in 2023. Brisbane are flat track bullies who can’t do anything away from home, and collingwood Melbourne have shown plenty of vulnerability.

If we are injury free and thereabouts watch out

3 Rounds in Pies were Flagpies, but honestly it was just too early like Melbourne last year. Its not like 2009 where there were 2 clear juggernauts.

 

[Gunf]

Tonight's game is why we need to have less grey area rules and possibly full time umps

Absolutely agree.

Their all playing second, we have a mostly fit list and nobody else is really that close IMO.
Our best, even our "normal" best is pretty comfortably the best in the league.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Another non call costing the pies a direct goal in a 1 goal game.
Wowee!

 

[And_ROOS]

Wow Johnson just got dudded in the goal square there... Thankfully I don't like Collingwood and the umps look after them in enough games that makes watching them get stitched up fun.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Pies will probably win this.

 

[Gunf]

Lets go Draw

 

[PzBlinky]

This is what happens when you try to play safe for so long. Crows had to attack more, but they played slow and conservatively...

 

[Vdubs]

Pies unbelievable again- 5 days break, Sidebottom wins them the game
