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

[catempire]

The list of players that would supposedly warrant such a pick being offered is surely receding by the week right now.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Cool and normal

 

[PzBlinky]

Yes but it happens to all teams.
I remember a game maybe 2 years ago we played Collingwood in Perth. De Goey’s first game back for a while and we got absolutely slaughtered by the umpires.
It happens to all teams but if it happens to them there’s a huge outcry.

Yeah, that's a fair call.

I remember that game in Perth. The free kick count was 10-22... then Razor Ray came out the next day, said he'd seen the game, and it really should've been 25-9 or something like that!

Think this was the game: AFL Tables - Geelong v Collingwood - Thu, 16-Jul-2020 6:10 PM (8:10 PM) - Match Stats

 

[Partridge]

Yeah we learn so much when umpires tell us how they performed afterwards. Like they're ever going to be honest.

Just on that, can you ever remember so many obvious decisions getting let go as this year? It's fine to let things go, but the amount of absolutely obvious holding the ball decisions that are allowed to pass now is amazing. With an extra umpire too.

Ha, that's true. All we can hope for is the right lessons are being learnt internally.

Like everyone, it's all subjective, but the games I've watched seem to have swung from the most officious, technical decisions called one moment to "naaah, that's fine" a minute later. Maybe it's too early to tell, but I'm not seeing any improvement having an extra ump on the field so far this year.

Yep that’s the one. One of the worst umpires games you will ever see.

 

[winty]

Far out, that's one lengthy injury list.

 

[Hamingja]

12 leg / lower leg injuries. Bet the ground is still ridiculously hard over there. Glad we played them in Adelaide. I wouldn't be risking anyone with a knock when we play Freo.

 

[cats_09]

Can't remember if it was last week or after they played us, when they named their team on the Thursday night there was one youngster out listed as "omitted" - the question was asked, how bad do you have to have been performing to be out omitted with the size of their injury list & 2 or 3 teammates out as injured alongside him

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Freos list looks pretty normal for injuries. Only 4 lower limb injuries: a hammy, a groin, a calf and Fyfes foot

 

[cats_09]

Really Eddie... How about Collingwood is scheduled to play 11 games outside of Melbourne

 

[cats_09]

 

[cats_09]

I don't watch the show, but it's Caro turning on her beloved Richmond?

 

[winty]

How funny would it be if West Coast happened to get the chocolates this week?

Jeez that would be unlikely

He's lost the plot.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

He's lost the plot.

Struggling for relevance nowadays, he finds himself going the Kane Cornes route of just yelling off the wall crap to get noticed

 

[cats_09]

He's lost the plot.

Only problem with that is, don't you at some stage had to have been with it enough to then lose the plot...

 

[Strange Cat]

At least Sam has dissapeared from the media landscape …I really honestly hope Eddie does soon because I’m completely over his bullshit

He's actually a very smart man but the latest idea is just absurd.

Best thing is all those teams sucked at the time as well so it isn't like they were beat by good sides.

 

[Strange Cat]

Not too sure if a new thread needs to be made but two new signings today with Blitz and Knevitt signing a two year contract

 

[Gunf]

Jeez that would be unlikely

Move it to Marvel and WC have a 99% chance
