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

Yes! I noticed that the other night! Eyes like piss holes in the snow!

Yet. You’re far too polite

How worried does he sound.

Cringe.

Cancer has multiple meanings though and I take his use of cancer as it’s alternate meaning - “an evil or dangerous thing that spreads quickly”, and it’s often used to describe violence, gambling etc but in this case it’s about an individual who has been seen as being more focused about what Port can do for their ego rather than what they can do to further Port

It may be an extreme use of the word in describing David Koch in that manner, but there does seem to be an underlying issue at Port and it runs deeper than just Hinkley

That might be so, but I take offence to it being used as a descriptive on another human being. Port are a pack of entitled whankers, how's that for a label.
There are many other Clubs just as success starved and they don't implode and eat their own, especially if they've been lucky enough to even make finals. All Koch has done is make the fatal mistake of backing the Coach. I'm sure they could do without Koch's money though.

5 GF’s in the same timeframe as Scott. Gets the cup next week then it’s a yes. Non Victorian team that travels every 2nd week…. He wins ! Must get the cup though , so over to you Scott!

Looks like a Trump rally with one little Kamala cat.

This is pretty damning for Ports effort tonight



Maybe someone should have set up a fake account & a fake BS line to try and fire them up

I reckon if you handed Scott an extra first round pick every other year he'd probably be doing better than Horse. 4 in the side tonight? 5 if Mills didn't ping a hammy.

Too kind @fggr

Teef like stars, which come out at night

Exactly! Depends on Horse and 2nd cup….. then 2-2 and 5 GF’s to 3-4. Hope best coach Scott that has been the narrative this year gets it done for No.3!

You need to put a content warning on that

Is that a sign? The year is ‘24, this is Horses 5th GF as coach of Sydney, and there’s a Cats fan.

In the second term, there were about five or six ticky tack calls in favor of swans that led to easy goals and two similar against port that were not called.

Yes port needed to overcome (and they gave up once down five goals) and their strategy of bombing high punts f50 was not smart, but this much officiating in a prelim is unfortunate

There's more to it than that. Stop talking like a troll.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

That may be so. Completely acknowledge Sydney’s utter determination to win 2024 GF, yet their opponent will be determined tomorrow afternoon!

Whether Brisbane or Geelong prevail, both teams will offer their absolute determination to win too.

It’s the night before our prelim - why are you in here trolling?

Efforts from opposition posters along these lines would be getting reported - so who’s buttons are you trying to push and why?

 

[The Unforgiven]

Esava just has no confidence to win the ball himself. So many times tonight he was just ball watching or “shepherding” for another teammate or just spudding it up.

I’ve always been hard on Esava when he was a Cat. Sure, he’s a nice guy, but you don’t want nice guys across the white line - you want hard-nosed competitors. Tonight hasn’t changed my view on him. Aliir battled alone tonight.

Watching the game, I just couldn’t stop thinking that any team with Sav, Narkle, and present-day Dixon just isn’t a premiership team.

Very true. And, not to mention Frankie Evans, who had a crack but let a couple of crucial marks slip through his mits.

 

[The Unforgiven]

Listen to you Ralphy. It might be Brisbane for all we know, who hold no qualms for them. If you're talking about Cats, we would be just as likely to have confidence we can thrash them again. Breathing fire does not equal talent or supersede the GF motivation of the other team.

Agreed, Sam. It's just utter fluff he's waffling.

 

[The Unforgiven]

Even Kent Kingsley would out do Dixon.
Even Brent spinx would go ok tonight.

David Mensch would have looked like Wayne Carey in direct comparison to cooked Charlie.

 

[The Unforgiven]

How worried does he sound.

Cringe.

He's trying to cope harder but the bloke is out of luck. The idea of another cup heading down the highway is really messing with the little man upstairs.

Think that’s Tom Aitkins.

I’ll give Evans a pass since he came on as sub for Mead, even though he was equally ineffective. As a whole, Port were very unclean last night (or certainly less clean than Swans).

Still, when the sub was made, my immediate thought was “that’s not going to change anything”.

On Sav again, he was never great at the Cats but nor was he quite as bad as he is now (I still remember his final season with us when he took like 7 intercept marks in the first quarter). He seems to have regressed at Port, or is being coached to be more passive. What little confidence he had left is completely shot.

Just for some objective stats, Sav had 3 possessions at 33% disposal efficiency after 86% game time for a single behind (which no one thought was going to be a goal) and a turn over. His singular mark (and marking is the only real asset he displays) was early in the first quarter. He registered zero possessions in the second half of the game. His fantasy points for the last quarter is negative 3.

It actually would have been less detrimental if he had just stood still.
