Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 1

[Commando]

Ahhh the sweet feeling of relaxation for two weeks whilst the rest of the pack fight it out over two more games just to get a chance against us.

I love getting straight through to the prelim.

Hoping for Carlton to get smacked, dogs to smack the hawks tonight and don't really care about swans/giants.

Hopefully suspensions suspensions suspensions

When was the last time a player was suspended during finals?

Ginnivan on the turps pre game at the London Tavern?
Doesn’t go with Mitchell’s attitude of this club is about premierships. If we don’t win the cup it’s always a failed season.
Actually love that from Mitch.
We are the most successful team of the 21st century, yet Hawks since the 60/70’s are the best.
Glad Scott is talking about cups and the month of football and not risking Tommy & SDK and having them peak for PF & GF.
We exist for cups!

Was it the London? I missed the pub name when they were discussing it last night. They were all banging on about how good the food is.

It's terrible there.

Swans v Giants derby can get spicy

 

[Vdubs]

I must admit my hatred for them has tempered in recent times with Richmond firmly taking over.

With Clarko having left them, they are mildly less detestable. Always a healthy respect for Hawthorn because their achievements have frankly been there for all to see, and they have know-how.
Agree about Tigers- but even now with Hardwick gone, they are temporarily insignificant.

Not sure how it goes now, but we may have to beat both GWS and Swans for the flag- both are doable and will be at our finals home. Or will it be a different Prelim aspirant?

If we can draw interstate teams in vic that is our best opportunity imo

Dogs should win but like last night it depends who turns up

 

[supahoops]

Sure it’s been done before but struggling to comprehend there’ll be six games of finals footy before we run out again most likely, bring on the carnage

It's fantastic isn't it

It's probably the most enjoyable part of the entire finals series when your team wins a QF and you get to really enjoy watching each team bash themselves senseless in preparation for our next encounter.

Bulldogs or Hawks tonight?

Dogs in overtime

Dogs in overtime

Would actually love if that happens a true dogfight that last the a good 20-30 mins after full time would be epic

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Bulldogs or Hawks tonight?

Dogs easy by 6-7 goals.
Would be more if it was a dry night.
They are/were my tip for the flag after they made us look second rate on our own dung hill.

Dogs would be 100% one of my favourites for the flag if Bevo wasn't such a tool that throws magnets around for no reason which ****s with the Dogs form so much sometimes.

Case in point a few games ago he blamed them losing on the fact they hadn't had any changes for 3 weeks? i think it was 3

 

[catstorm]

How nice is this though, now we can just relax sit back and watch everyone beat the shit out of each other.

Brisbane still a chance to get through to prelim…

Yes at least 5 games of that. Maybe even six as could be the Saturday night prelim ; if swans win tonight they would probably be Friday night prelim having finished top.

Kayo almost tricked me into watching the pregame damnit
