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

[Vdubs]

We have exceeded my expectations finishing top 3; top 2 would have felt like a stretch, but such is this season, it was a possibility.
We have to prepare for a Thursday night final away, and I think our Thursday night record feels like it's okay. I know somebody will have the facts on this, I certainly don't

 

[The_Todd07]

Yeah I agree. They are perfectly primed.
Them along with the dogs and 1 and 2.
Hawks unfortunately not far behind.

Luckily one of Hawthorn or Bulldogs won't make it past week 1
Unluckily unless we break our Adelaide final hoodoo, we face the winner

 

[cats_09]

I know this is from earlier in the match, but it is funny

 

[Vdubs]

Why are they throwing their finals chance away.

Effing morons

Just not up to it. Port is the real deal- if we beat them, I think we win the flag.

True but if we win va port we are in the box seat for a GF.

This is why you must control your own destiny. Relying on other teams (particularly Freo who are just a newer version of St.Kilda) is problematic.

We stuffed up last week and as a result we go to Adelaide and likely gift the Power an Adelaide prelim.

I have said it again and again but it's been a great year from us to win 15 games and finish top 4. Get two finals into the kids and we have had a great year..

Just don’t go out in straight sets, this club has enjoyed proving David king wrong.

 

[Tony Barber]

Freo are still a chance here. But not by 24 pts. I can see port kicking 2 and then taking the foot off the pedal.

 

[Vdubs]

Almost a pity Dogs play Hawks week 1 finals. They are both brilliant at best. Good that one is eliminated- which team do we least want to face in a ko final at THE G, IF we lose v Port.
I say Hawks, for historical reasons. I have never seen Doggies beat us in a final.

 

[TEDDY24INC]

Yep Calder spot on what Hocking said

Just ridiculous by Hocking, what was his rationale?

 

[My Tilly]

I think Freo will win and Carlton fans will have been tormented twice within the space of hours

 

[Tony Barber]

You are right. He picked us for the 2020 flag 2 months out. So we proved him wrong.

 

[TEDDY24INC]

You need to calm down or go to bed.
I hope it’s at the G
I live closer to it and I’m guaranteed a ticket

Bizarre as a supporter you would choose attending over maximising the teams chance of winning

If it weren't for the dogs getting a few recent wins over us I would pick them 100% because we always found ways to beat them. Now they have belief they can actually beat us

Would be amazing to knock the Hawks out of finals but equally shithouse to lose

I pick let's just beat Port

I really like the Dogs to beat Hawthorn. I think their forward line will feast and they can outmatch them through the middle.

 

[frggr]

Ugh Freo aren't going to help us out

 

[DangerHere]

Like I said Carltank missing out on finals would be glorious

 

[catters05]

Ugh Freo aren't going to help us out

Freo can’t even help themselves.

 

[mcwilrob]

Freo have blown so many chances with poor goal kicking ffs

 

[Vdubs]

JHF again

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Yuk Freo just yuk

They have no composure at all. They don’t deserve to be playing finals.

 

[catempire]

Just fold Freo. A waste of purple fabric.

 

[mcwilrob]

JHF again

He’s been allowed way too much freedom and Freo paying the price

 

[smotherking]

I thought our forward 50 entries could be frustrating. Jesus wept

 

[Grimoz]

God if Freo could actually kick straight!!
