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

[Gunf]

Not belong before this, Aliir was also briefly injured, as I alluded to before the game, but I missed that Butters one. Last week Ohenry also grabbed his hammy late in the game. I guess they just play with niggles, although if you are going to continue with fractured ribs, you'd better not be related to the Petracca fam.

I would say most players carry niggles for about half the year on average

 

[And_ROOS]

Bris have to be the most inaccurate side along with the Dogs in years

To be fair no one in the finals has been that accurate. Had we kicked straight the Port loss would have been closer to 119, Hoks were 7.3 at HT but ended up at 14.15 with some bad misses, and had GWS not been inaccurate in the first half they don't shit the bed against Swoms, who themselves kicked 1.4 in the first themselves.

@catempire is very confident that Port will beat Port

catempire follows football different to the rest of us... Has Port playing themselves.
They'd probably find a way to both lose.

Yes true, but I also have the defib on the table during finals, when it totally matters.

 

[cats_09]

Seems that if Brisbane is to be any chance, that they need to be leading at halftime

The bummer of it is no percentage, 9 points or 119.
Just like Jezza's goal of the year!

BTW
There is a vid on the AFL site of Jezza's goal with SIX different commentaries, (going off) if anyone cares/knows to put it up on BF.

Goal of the year and mark of the year were both this weekend

Well they would be if AFL had a brain

I really hope we get Brisbane in PF somehow, I know it’s a way higher chance of making GF for us. GWS have been our bogey team of late and don’t play too badly at the G.

Lol.....was an innocent typo by me.

But yeah, he's very confident that they'll beat Hawthorn.....or at least he was last night.

I want to believe, I really do

Having just played Port Adelaide at AO in a Qualifying Final for the third time in five years...

It's now a possibility that Geelong could face Brisbane at the MCG in the Prelim and Sydney in the Grand Final - exactly as we did in 2022.

 

[cats_09]

I know our set shot kicking was crap on Thursday night, but was it this crap?

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Where was this desperation from Carlton in the first half?! Even though they’ve given away a goal now

Remarkably this would also be the third time in five years we'd play the Lions in a Prelim.

Did Cameron just jumper punch that guy on the nose?

Jeebus. I'd better lend my defib to Old man Fagan!
That's dire.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

This Modra lookalike has marked everything tonight lol

 

[winty]

He's a good bloke though.

 

[Gunf]

"The Lions average 9.5 fewer tackles than their opponents this season – the worst differential in the league. They have outtackled the Blues tonight by 18."

Imagine getting out tackled by the worst tackle side in the comp

 

[The_Todd07]

Remarkably this would also be the third time in five years we'd play the Lions in a Prelim.

It would also be the 4th straight Geelong v Brisbane final that was a Prelim (incl 2004)

 

[Commando]

Is Saad the most overrated player in the AFL?
Or is he just bad whenever I see him play?

 

[Gunf]

Good to see Doch kick a goal

 

[Netherlandal]

Also notable that potential Grand Final opponents would all be recent repeats:

• Port
• Hawthorn
• Sydney

Dixon is by a country mile but Saad is fairly overrated

 

[The_Todd07]

Forearm to the throat isn't a very intelligent thing to do in finals Rayner
