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

[Gunf]

Playing Dixon is ridiculous.
That backline of Hawthorn's is pretty agile. Marshall, Georgiades, Dixon, Ratugolea.

Hinkley's a poor man's Buckley.

That forward line screams world record rebound 50s without being touched

 

[catswhiskers]

Did that turn in to Humphries as the draft numbers collapsed last year?

 

[FootyLad0]

Surely Dixon isn't playing ??? unless they use him to belt a bunch of Hawks he will be a complete liability

The Alastair Lynch 2004 Grand Final special.

Yes despite what people will try to tell you, Sav trade = Lawson Humphries

Everyone else was passing on picks multiple rounds before the selection we used on him. They all had gun draftees they needed to prioritise

Well, I watched Esava at Torquay in his first outing in the hoops.

Hardly touched it . In Q1, 2, 4, . Kicked 3 in Q3¡!!!

Thought then , well there is a player in there.

He has , I am so happy he is earning enough money now to support his immediate family and more.....

Wish him well this weekend!

 

[catempire]

catempire ......serious question.

Do you still remain confident that Port will win this comfortably?

Don’t think I said comfortably. But yes I’m still tipping Port.

We turned Ratugolea into:

• Mitch Edwards, pick 32 (25)
• George Stevens, pick 58 (76)
• Lawson Humphries, pick 63 (94)

Number in brackets was the pick at the time of the trade

I'm desperately wanting you to be right, but damn, it's going to be one hell of a turn around.

Reversion to the mean my friend.

 

[Cataholic]

Reversion to the mean my friend.

I'd swear you told me this was the easiest game of the year to pick, and I want me some of that confidence.

Don't worry Port will win.

 

[Cataholic]

Don't worry Port will win.

God I hope so.

My universe depends on it.

 

[frggr]

He's not they type. Charlie Dixon on the other hand. I fully expect him to go out in the Alastair Lynch manner.

He did try to rip Blicavs head off last week

Want as much as you do, but these Hawks are not finished this week. They are just in great form and have the spirit. Port are dispirited. But who knows... things can turn around.
Who can recall us in 89? Smashed by Essendon week 1, then we beat Demons easily, and reversed the Bombers smashing a week later.
This season is bizarre, the form-line is irrelevant, there are no upsets at all, and right now, there are 6 teams still all equally capable of being premiers,

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Don’t think I said comfortably. But yes I’m still tipping Port.

I think this trips my inbuilt response to over scrutinise ideas i want to be true and not believe them.

 

[dazbroncos]

Humphries and George Stevens I think it was with the 2 late picks from PA

GO CATTERS

 

[BIGANT]

Whilst Burton hasn't been playing great football, he does pop up with good performances every now and again. Big loss for PA, with Houston and Farrell already out Burton was crucial continuing that role. Watch for the melts as they brought in Marshall with no football in 6 weeks and keeping Dixon in, stretching the hawks defence with Frost out.

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Imagine Sav kicks 5. He’s due a decent game! C’mon Sav kill em!

 

[Cataholic]

Apparently there was something on Triple M about Butters being out??

 

[Strange Cat]

Imagine Sav kicks 5. He’s due a decent game! C’mon Sav kill em!

I think he will be playing in the backline tonight

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I’m torn on tonight’s game. On one hand I want Hawthorn to get belted and to end this wankfest.

On the other if they win it gives us a chance of meeting in the GF which is what I really want.

 

[GeelongFTW]

I want hawks to win coz at least they'd make the swans somewhat concerned (and hopefully make it a good game)

 

[Munich]

Stop stressing lol

 

[Cataholic]

Stop stressing lol

I'm worse than a Port supporter, hey?!
