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

[CatToTheFuture]

Eye opening that port had 7 under 50 hands last night where swans had one

Dixon - cooked. Boak - cooked. Esava/Narkle/Evans - no further comment needed.

Port were playing with a hand tied behind their back, kept making dumb decisions. And still Sydney couldn't put them away.

Nobody deserves to be favourites at the moment, although the best footy of the finals has been played by us.

I give you.....Brisbane ( by 79)

They weren’t a bad side though
We just made them look silly

Surely Rampe gets at least a week for his hit on Butters?

Doubt it. Will be a fine.

I'd be more than happy for it not to be looked at provide we get the same consideration should anything similar occurs in the game this evening.

Doubt it. Will be a fine.

Went the bump, raised arm, body off the ground. Been a suspension every other week of the last 3-4 seasons.

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!

Don’t feed the troll

Don’t feed the troll

'ignore' works well.

'ignore' works well.

But then I miss out on the lolz

True, but sometimes the swill you've got to wade through just isn't worth it.

I saw that wizard Haw player at the pub last night.

He's literally dwarf size. I was shocked.

He’d be even shorter without the wizard hat

 

[DangerHere]

LOL Dixon.

He should have taken that offer of being an extra in “Vikings Valhalla”

Doesn't have a negative effect on his footy, absolute ripper player!

I don't know they were playing with one hand behind their back, they just don't have the second hand.

Houston and Farrell make a difference but not sort of difference required.

With Houston gone next season it's hard to see Port Adelaide improving

Last nights game is one of the worst prelims I’ve ever seen. It didn’t even feel like a final.
Felt all night that port were trying to limit the damage and not win the game.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Sydney are good on paper but mentally soft in GFs and so gettable form wise. This is the bradbury flag we have to win. It will be as big a miss as 2008 if we dont.

Have a bottle for her...do it.

I certainly did
Only because of your instruction, I’m very obedient

That 2008 team was generational.
Still the worst loss I have ever experienced as a supporter.

This year has been a free swing. No one expected much at all. Even heading into today's game, majority of the public and media have picked Brisbane.

 

[BotsMaster]

People whinge about the Cats always making finals and yet the Swans have this record

 

[Hinkley29]

Doesn't have a negative effect on his footy, absolute ripper player!

It really does.

It severely limits his flexibility and upside.

He could be an elite player if he was taller. Alas

He has an elite case of small syndrome though, so I guess there is that

 

[Zouz Kitty]

This should be the sole focus of Scott and the playing group right now.

Looking past that will smell a la Ginnivan.

We have to be methodical, clinical, focused on Brisbane and Brisbane only.

Scott pretty much said in his presser they are only focusing on this game. Selection does include slight consideration of ‘if we win’ for GF. Essentially, selection + list development, along with list management occurs to ensure the best team available.

Went on to say he never thinks about past losses, or past wins much, occasionally he does use some good play/strategy to reinforce the approach to a current game. Future games are addressed at the time. Scott seems to be a very ‘in the present’ personality. Some people are learn from past + others are focused on the future.

Well, that’s my interpretation
