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

[you pick one]

I saw this yesterday in regards to Butters and they may be onto something

Or when he was cleaned up by Bowes in the first quarter.

De Koning is killing them

 

[Gunf]

Payne probably won't play again this year.
Significant loss against GWS next week

What happened to Payne?

 

[And_ROOS]

I could legit see Brisbane drinking there own bath water and getting done by GWS badly next week.

They are playing like they drank their bathwater at HT and have caught Typhoid Fever

 

[My Tilly]

What happened to Payne?

MCL

 

[catstorm]

Surely ****ing not

 

[Gunf]

Bris love a good choke and this game has plenty of time left

 

[And_ROOS]

De Koning is killing them

Someone on the main board during the week said they were hoping TDK would miss and if you look at his form for the weeks before he got injured he was absolutely unplayable.

If the Blues lose the decision to start him as sub might go down as the worst coaching call of all time. The game flipped the instant he came on.

 

[supahoops]

For context Carlton going better than Poort at this stage of the match.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Vossy must of given them a spray at HT

 

[And_ROOS]

Bris love a good choke and this game has plenty of time left

Would love for them to absolutely bottle this and they take the mantle of the "Miracle on grass (GABBA edition)"

 

[Cataholic]

Noticeable difference in TDK's second efforts, and willingness to throw his weight around, vs SDK.

 

[And_ROOS]

Vossy must of given them a spray at HT

Vossy just showed them clips of him tackling outside the coffee shop for inspiration.

 

[supahoops]

Autopsy thread already going on the Carlton board.

Their game thread been more entertaining than the game itself.

 

[CatTricks]

Vossy must of given them a spray at HT

Or juiced them up

 

[catstorm]

That was just an awful kick into the centre when he had two open men on the outside

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Lol bristank lol

 

[supahoops]

Reckon CS will run with SDK as Sub now, tactical masterstroke from Vossy.

 

[The_Todd07]

This is ****ing amazing to watch

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Two in a row

 

[cats_09]

I reckon you're right.

They better jab him up good, because they're really going to need him to step up.

catempire is very confident that Port will beat Port, and as much as I want to believe I'm not so sure.....even less so if Butters can't play to his ability.

Edit: Port will beat Hawthorn

Knowing they had the second chance whether that be the semifinal or a week off ahead of a prelim - one surely has to ask that if Butters went into the game not quite right if it was the smart move versus the opportunity to give him an additional 1 or 2 weeks off instead

I look at how our group handled the Stewart situation - no doubt we're better with him in the team, and whether it was his hamstring not 100% or illness, they had the guts & courage to withdraw him and back in a 16 gamer to play his own role within the team, while others stepped up to cover Stewart's absence

We could have easily played Stewart, but if he wasn't quite right and he aggravated something, it most likely means his season done


So, if Butters did go into the match not quite right, did Hinkley just not trust the next man in line to play his role & others to step up, or what he arrogant enough to think that they could play an injured player and not be negatively impacted?

I expect they'll roll Butters out against next match, but wonder how much more influential he would be if he had a double week off to start the finals instead

 

[Cataholic]

Lions just blew two sodas

 

[Generalissimo]

The choke is on.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Third time lucky

 

[cats_09]

Or when he was cleaned up by Bowes in the first quarter.

Probably both

Took an issue into the match and then aggravated it during the first half
