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

[you pick one]

Did Cameron just jumper punch that guy on the nose?

Yes but won't be looked at and shouldn't be either

 

[Gunf]

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

Don't think the AFL has the balls to suspend a player for finals unless it is absolutely a slam dunk

 

[OzeSparky]

Yes but won't be looked at and shouldn't be either

Is that cause he a good guy?

 

[Footy Smarts]

Brisbane are completely mentally cooked. 10 goal start against a physically cooked opponent and they find a way to absolutely shit themselves before getting the win. They're bloody happy with themselves about what should be a regulation win too.

 

[Cataholic]

Not sure Hawkins would agree

Nope. They're too spineless to be consistent for starters, and we all know there's different rules in finals too.

Respect to Newman

Conveniently find a reason to only give a fine at most

 

[Cataholic]

Who was reported?

Edit: Newman

Yeah but who really wants to see players miss a game for that not me.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Pittonet 2 in a row

I get your point, but the bigger source of frustration for me is the AFL's inconsistency, and how they manipulate interpretations especially for finals.

This 100% i can deal with shit suspensions if they were consistent all year including finals

 

[My Tilly]

Dixon is by a country mile but Saad is fairly overrated

Dixon was barely rated to begin with.
His trajectory was that of Casboult but went on with it for mild success over at Port.

Overrated are players labelled genuine stars of the competition who fizzle away when it counts the most.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Not a bad score in the end just left it too late to wake up

 

[Play it Sam]

Respect to Newman

Why? Did he confess?
or shake hands or something

It'll be interesting to see how Newman's report is adjudicated.

I have no trouble believing it'll be different to that imposed if Carlton had won tonight.

 

[Vdubs]

Good grief

bad grief

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Soft win by Brisbane.

 

[Cataholic]

bad grief

Well played

 

[Play it Sam]

Lost at selection absolutely. Expected better from Voss. Not only TDK as sub but a good tagger in Cincotto absent.
So when he smashed the glass on TDK, what happens if injury occurs, but I suppose being 0 goals they weren't winning anyway,

Well, that game showed why we cannot be bringing back any under done players in the prelim.

Sorry Hawk, sorry Guth, love you both but 2024 is not your year.

SDK I'm undecided on.

 

[And_ROOS]

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.

While that is correct, history is littered with teams in finals who cost themselves important wins because they kick inaccurately.

If you look at the top 4 teams for goals kicked this season, we are the most accurate ahead of Sydney, Bulldogs and Hawks.

Gives me a bit more confidence especially with how Mannagh and Stengle are flushing them at the moment that should the PF be a tight affair we are going to kick straighter than our opponents.

That said if Neale, Close and OHenry could tidy up their conversion it would really help.

Cameron is prone to games like Thursday where he kicked 4.3, but every few weeks he has a big one and I would not be shocked if Jezza kicked 6.1 or 7.2 in the PF. Just feels like with him sitting deep and we will have a home PF against an interstate opposition the potential is there for him to completely tear the game open.

SDK is also underdone.
