Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2024, Part 2

[Hamingja]

Payne was very ordinary as well.
Not sure they will play him again. Cameron and Henry will be working him over. Neale is just as agile as Hogan

Yeah GWS with Taylor and Buckley had the match ups to lockdown Jezza

They're celebrating like they just won the flag. Like to see that. It's when the celebration is understated suggesting the job is still to be done that you'd be more concerned.

Well, we've done all we set out to do here boys. Let's pack her up

 

[The Casey Cat]

Don't mean to get ahead of ourselves but has to be said - great resul for us. Avoiding GWS is fortunate.

 

[Play it Sam]

Unfortunate for Neale twisting his ankle in the last minute, that can't be good.
Want to play them at their ordinary best don't we.

 

[BIGANT]

Game on pre- lim now., Let's go Cats

 

[Reg Hickey]

I'm down with them destroying Brisbane but don't want to see them turn up thinking they've already won.

Time to be clinical......and destructive.

Agree, but I think we will be.

They were less than a goal off a flag last year so I'm sure we won't be taking them lightly by any means... but then again our recent record against them is very good and we'll be confident we can take them. Especially on their first 2.5 quarters tonight.

 

[Vdubs]

That's gotta be the biggest choke in a final I have seen

or the best comeback you've ever seen- several guns were well held- Rayner, Zorco- they will be very fired up

Jack ginnivan plays for the Hawks not the Cats.

We've been here too many times to not take it one week at a time

 

[Catsace]

So that guy who took advantage and missed the soccer from the square.....

The same 'Tiny dancer' that kicked the winner against Geelong at KP a couple of seasons ago.

 

[frggr]

As much as Joe is the chief goofball of the league, he seems a genuinely lovely bloke

Might have had his "Rohan" finals moment

 

[calder_daddy]

Only downside is Brisbane/Fitzroy fans will turn up at the G next weekend.

Sounds weird because it is a large crowd but only 77k came to the 2022 prelim

Why would that happen? This is professional sport.

 

[Play it Sam]

Didn’t effect us in 22’

We've got these suckers. Less chance of tickets is all.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Most even comp in the history of footy leads to prelims where three played off in the last two GFs and one has been top 4 3 of the last 4 years....

 

[Romeoh1]

Brissy were ordinary for a fair bit of that game- can’t see that working so well against us. If they turn up from the start it’s game on.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Less worried about them than gws. 1 from their last 5 at the G. 3 from their last 20.

Love that. Bury them.

 

[frggr]

Didn't realize it was that small.

Relative to GWS they'll have a crowd though.

Feels nice to have something resembling a home final either way

Max Holmes writing a comment on Isaac Heeney's Instagram profile as we speak

Plot twist:

it says "Good luck against Port, think you are a really great player and have a lot of respect for what you have been able to do this year".

 

[Cataholic]

Why would that happen? This is professional sport.

True.

And we have enough experienced guys to help the newbies like Humphries and Mannagh avoid playing the game in their head.

 

[Play it Sam]

I thought that was in Brisbane? May be wrong.
Get all the hangers on at the MCG, corporate types.

 

[My Tilly]

Might have had his "Rohan" finals moment

Very high scoring team if you slack off as GWS did. They were completely out on their feet like last week. Took a lot out of them.
Fingers crossed this took a bit out of Brisbane.

Weather Forecast for next Saturday says rain. That is good as Brisbane have a tall line-up and I personally prefer to face them if it's a slog.

 

[you pick one]

The move of Will Ashcroft on to the ball half way through the third quarter got the Lions going we need to shut him down next week.

 

[year of the cat]

Two massive fade outs in a fortnight for the Giants. Reckon they’ll be running a lot of k’s over pre season.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

The crowd was atrocious. Most of the game had no atmosphere, and the Lions supporters were louder than the GWS ones.

Two weeks in a row, GWS was basically cooked at 3Q time. The Lions' better players lifted. Putting Ashcroft into the center during the third quarter was a real turning point in the match.

Straight sets GWS — kinda rhymes.
