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

[catscratchfever]

Meh, probably better for us in the long run.

 

[Munich]

The was pathetic

 

[Gunf]

Bad kicking and going defensive cost the Crows even with the umps trying real hard

 

[And_ROOS]

On the one hand, I like watching Collingwood lose.

On the other, I also love a good bottle job. Swans and Croms shat the bed big time this weekend.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

They do, and it no fluke.. good footy team

 

[MisterMarcus]

They didn't get away with it when it really mattered in 2022......

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Like clockwork.

 

[catempire]

“They train for it”

 

[catpremier 07]

Geez Craig mccrae settle down mate

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Pies are average in many ways but their superior fitness allows them to pinch a lot of close ganes at the end

 

[Munich]

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?

Somebody in Richmond was playing it this morning about 11am very loudly.

 

[Cataholic]

Some cold, hard truths are finally starting to dawn on the masses in Tigerland. A little bit of cannibalism too.

They're switching on to the fact that they've made some errors with their list management, and are seriously questioning Dimma's aptitude and future.

 

[patience]

On your home deck Adelaide.

 

[Baudolino]

They do, and it no fluke.. good footy team

I mean, sure, but all the same it would be nice if other teams didn't keep repeatedly choking in front of goal against them.

 

[The_Todd07]

2 weeks in a row we get a team that has been head ****ed by Collingwood

Crows kicked themselves out of it

 

[STPer18]

Too bad the two close games in last years finals didn't go their way.

 

[Vdubs]

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.

Pies are in a better position than 12m ago, and their list is better. Justifiably flag favourites

 

[DangerHere]

Crows goal kicking inside 50 was amateurish

 

[Gunf]

Crows kicked themselves out of it

Yep game should of been over at half time but Crows couldn't convert

 

[Romeoh1]

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.

Ah well- it ended up a really good finish and pies got up as I knew they would- as soon as it got closer with 10 minutes to go-they just push the ball forward at every opportunity and go fast. Whereas the crows looked a bit off the pace and not nearly desperate enough and didn’t counter the pies properly. They really should have won.
Funnily enough though, the more I see of the pies, a very good side, the more confident I am we will have their measure!
And tiges are in trouble.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

No fluke when Adelaide should have been 10 goals up.
Not worried about the pies at all.

Yeah - could have - would have - should have - but didnt

Collingwood coming off the short break and that - couldnt careless about anything in that game - except the 4 points - which they got

 

[Munich]

Meh Squiggle still has us winning the flag.

 

[catempire]

It’s so beautiful. Hang it in the Louvre.

It’s also the perceived pressure they put on. Crows are young.
Pies won’t do that to everyone. Should have been 10 goals down.
