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

[Hinkley29]

Sad to hear about Rohan.

I have posted this before - but when Rohan was at the swans I was involved in junior footy here in Sydney. Our club used to often get swans players come down to training, most of them clearly did not want to be there but Rohan was by far the best with the kids. Always patient, very engaged, a great communicator and really good bloke. Since then I have always been a supporter. Hopefully he has a quick recovery.

Its new, its fresh, its unique, its never been seen before.

Can we add in a Geelong dominant Grand Final win and a Norm Smith medal to a left footer that came to us from another club?

LAWSON HUMPHRIES!?

That makes me very happy to hear. Hope it all goes well and he gets back to being the bloke we know he can be.

This makes his coaching move make a lot more sense, too. Those are the qualities you want in a coaching team.

BTW, these two tweets are from Thursday morning and we know what's subsequently happened in this finals series

How are those the goals of the year? Dangerfield has kicked goals from centre bounces and never been nominated.

You sell more newspapers, get more viewers, have more articles clicked, when Collingwood is involved !. Tis AFL business model #316. /s

Yep. Geelong aren't newsworthy.

 

[Hamingja]

Unlikely to happen but hear me out
Brisbane to beat GWS and Hawthorn to beat Port.
Following week, we smash Brisbane and Sydney drag themselves over the line in a close one against an up and coming young team.
Sydney Geelong Grand Final

Hoping the Hawks get rolled this week tbh. I will get a ticket alright and have accommodation but flights will be an issue if we make the GF, particularly as we are likely to be the second prelim. Way too many Hawk flogs in Tassie so if that first prelim is Port v Swans the flights won't get hammered as much, don't think I have ever met a fan of either team down here.

We will be for a week or two if we win the flag

 

[BotsMaster]

We will be for a minute or two if we win the flag

EFA*

Newspapers will move straight into trade week discussions.

Could be true but i wouldn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth

[Footy Smarts]

Jesus Christ the love in for Hawthorn is off the chain right now.

 

[Gunf]

GWS has the best social media team in the AFL by such a large margin it's not funny

 

[winty]

How would you be if you were a Warrnambool fan?

So ummm, the second tweet presents an interesting scenario:

• win, and Ken becomes Ports longest serving coach
• lose and he'll share the record

Does anyone see it playing out differently?

 

[Strange Cat]

Always works well taking injuried players into a final

Chris Scott's two Premierships have each involved an opposition coach gambling on an injured Reid brother that didn't pay off whatsoever. The Premierships were eleven year apart!!!!

Anyone else starting to think that Day's shoulder/collarbone injury is a bit more serious than Hawthorn first let on?

It looked bad, and he was in a lot of pain.

news well.

Makes me appreciate for the level headed, fair moderation and community we have on this board.

It's interesting how BigFooty team boards almost mimic supporters at games.

 

[frggr]

Geelong give us their f1 as well as first. Baz does his ACL round 1. Geelong finish last. We get pick 1 and this years first and Baz retires after his 3rd ACL.

Make it happen universe.

Jesus.
