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

[cats_09]

Another one out for Hawthorn, along with Frost who was ruled out on the weekend

 

[Cosmic Energy]

Dogs board taking Bailey Smith 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.

That’s not representative of all of them though.

 

[Cataholic]

If I were Kenny I'd have Ginnivan's latest post plastered all over their change room walls.

If that doesn't motivate them nothing will.

 

[Cataholic]

Jesus.

Dog supporters, dog comments.

Absolutely, I thought the same.

How can someone be so stupid to give the opposition ammunition before a final?

All you hear is “oh it’s the new generation” blah blah.

It’s ridiculous and hopefully it bites them in the ass.

Could you utter a more arrogant statement as a Hawks player right now??!

I'm sure it'll be a topic of conversation amongst the Port boys, and if they don't get fired up by a comment that dismisses them so nonchalantly then something's wrong.

 

[frggr]

Oh they're covering it on AFL360.

celebration post with the comment "see you in 14 days"

Lol that's pretty funny. That said, wouldn't want it to be one of our players (which it would never be)

 

[Cataholic]

Where's the post?

Social media.

Sent a message to a Swan's player saying 'see u next week'.

 

[cats_09]

Where's the post?

For anyone who hasn't seen it

Really? You remember the 94' Brownlow when they cut to the West coast room?

They interviewed mattera and asked if he was looking forward to the game.
"I'm looking forward to playing on Bairstow again" and he started laughing.

They cut to Bairstow and he was ashen faced.
Blight then took the bait and put bair on him. Go look at the result.

Adam Simpson reckons Port will be using it for motivation.

That’s a bit different mate.
Ginnivan has completely disrespected the entire Port Adelaide team.

 

[Tony Barber]

Adam Simpson reckons Port will be using it for motivation.

And I say that ginnivans young teammates will also use it as motivation.

 

[Cataholic]

Yep.

He's lived up to the one word moniker a lot of people have for him.

 

[Tony Barber]

People read too much into that stuff. For all you know he's mates with them both. Would you prefer he said 'hope to see you in two weeks'?

Or would that be showing low conviction in your eyes?

 

[Munich]

Yep.

He's lived up to the one word moniker a lot of people have for him.

Which word?

I can think of a few.

 

[Cataholic]

And I say that ginnivans young teammates will also use it as motivation.

Don't see how really.

There'll be a lot of giggling over the smarta*sery of the comment, because they're like schoolboys atm, whereas Port's pride will be stung.

They've been thoroughly disrespected, distegarded and mocked as a team.

 

[Cataholic]

I can think of a few.

I left that open deliberately, because I can think of a few too.

He put it out on social media knowing full well it'd be seen by all and sundry, especially Port.

He was being deliberately disrespectful and provocative.

and not just by that flog...

How exactly will the hawthorn players use it as motivation?
Ginnivan has freely given port ammunition.

You can’t tell me you wouldn’t be plastering it all over the walls if you were Ken Hinkley?

An Essendon player mocked the crows when they beat them early in the season by diving on the ball on purpose and not giving a free kick away then flopping on the ground after the game.
The crows coach came out and said it motivated them to beat them the next time they played them.

Port are in trouble and they should and will use any little bit of motivation that they can get.

I sort of agree but shouldn't they be motivated enough.

It's a do or die final.

 

[frggr]

No, of course not. Still a bit confronting to see.

You'd think Port will come out fired up
