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

[Munich]

Yeah I actually don't mind Korn. It doesn't mean I agree with everything he says but I have found a respect for him.

Lots of people in football get chummy with the media and avoid criticism as a result. Korn has his views and at this stage, isn't compromised in sharing them. For that, he has some respect from me.

Just stop calling him KoRn.

Ehhh it’s got major backfire potential if they flunk out in Finals.

Not really, they're punching down regardless

This seems like a great way to be looking for a bailout in a few years

All a wildcard round does in a footy sense is cement the top 6, as teams 7-10 have to play another game, risk injuries and get no break. The Dogs would never have won in 2016 with it in place. It's purely for TV and the gambling industry.

They also would never have won if we didn't have that stupid bye

1.5 million a year over 8 years to Mac Andrews

We've got a couple who don't understand the validity of this account, including one who's tagged the real TB - who still has me blocked

Cornes is a bombastic, sensationalist shit-stirring dickhead a lot of the time IMO but it’s also true that AFL journos, in-house and external, have close relationships with clubs and so it’s good to have an “outsider” who will ask silly or obnoxious or antagonstic questions to start conversations even if some of those conversations are individually petty or unreasonable.

He’s not better than the institutionalised journos but it’s very healthy if that perspective gets publicised (much like Caro Wilson, whom I used to despise but who has raised cultural and institutional problems earlier than many others).

Melbourne going to be a fun place next year with all their good players held to contract

Will say to Goody thanks for the memories

Bar their one good year when has it been anything close to fun for them?

Deplorable club.

Deplorable club.

Culture

The club only has itself to blame for sticking with Goodwin despite all the noises and warnings and leaks about him

Garry Lyon and his premiership window. Won the flag 19 of the last 19 years. Top 6 in both defense and attack. If you’re not in that window you don’t win the cup.
Currently pre finals only Dogs, Brisbane and hawthorn are in the window. All 5-8 teams….
I have swans in a GF , yet I think Brisbane are the best team, but from 5th will be a tough journey to even make the GF.
Interesting season. Up for grabs!

Geelong over Collingwood in 2011

Difficult for the rest of the league, piece of cake for the Catters
