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

Rampe looks pretty excited View attachment 2123576

Was distraught about Mills not getting in for selection- seems to show.

 

[cats_09]

With tomorrow looking pretty good weather wise, I've planned on spending it out in the yard doing some cleaning and getting things organised for a hard rubbish collection

 

[CatToTheFuture]

The coaching equivalent of a sympathy shag

I wouldn't turn either down

 

[Vdubs]

Scott has never won coach of the year ….. interesting fact . Fagan nabbed it this year……

Popularity contest- he is highly rated by coaches but not a "mate", maybe.
Deserved it in 2011, 2022.
How it gets voted on is unknown.

That’s ridiculous. They would have known as soon as he did it that 17 days for a hammy wasn’t realistic and he wasn’t going to play after Reid 2 years ago.

When you have 3 kids, whenever it’s on offer you NEVER turn it down.

How it gets voted on is unknown.

Members of the AFLCA vote for the award on a 3-2-1 basis. So all serving coaches and some past ones who are still members.

Under the new broadcast deal, Fox Footy will broadcast every game (H&A & Finals & GF) with its commentators calling the games. It will no longer simulcast the C7 coverage at all. So we'll see a lot of games in 4K. So you'll never have to listen to BT, Luke Darcy, or Brayshaw again. However, I have heard whispers that Matthew Richardson and one other current C7 person are going to defect to Fox Footy next year.

Replays and analysis after goals, too, rather than dead air.

I'm still going... obviously the best game will be at half time when my son is playing... if you see a boy kick a goal then does the Jeremy Cameron

You're slipping BotsMaster
No GF preview yet with VFL nicknames and badges that annoys Vinum. A GF tradition

I haven't done that in years. I stopped because only mods can create game day threads.

Want a thread started for tomorrow and you write up the rest?

Yeah sure. "South Melbourne vs Fitzroy"

Rampe took his hand off the cup first, GG Lions.

Also at least Brisbane are trying to go in healthy, while it was smart for the Swoms to omit Mills I have a feeling McDonald is going to do a Reid 2022 for Sydney and be a total liability.

You could take injured players into GFs in the 80s, it was barely passable in the 90s, it sometimes worked early 2000s but since 2005 onwards with the speed in the game a crocked player will cost you.

 

[BotsMaster]

Checking around the grounds, thanks to Town & Country Pizza, to see what other boards are doing for grand final day and I could see some had their own GF thread while others were talking about trade week.

Port on the other hand...

Yes, but on what basis 3, 2, 1? Nice guy points I think.
2011, CS had a brilliant intro season, Cats beat the unbeatable Pies 3x.
2022, 16 wins straight into a flag. No better coaching effort.

To be honest though, sounds like Hinkley is going to step away shortly. It's like the best Christmas ever to these guys.

Neither Scott or Clarkson have won the AFLCA Coach of the Year

To put that into a bit more perspective, of the 12 premierships from 2011 to 2022, Scott & Clarkson coached their respective teams to 5 of those premierships and in none of those 5 years were they voted as the best coach

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Yes, but on what basis 3, 2, 1?

I'm assuming the points are based on who they thought was the first (3 points), second (2 points), and third (1 point) best coach for the season.

I heard Dwayno say that when C7 is the main broadcaster, Foxtel will have a few cameras there to provide footage between goals and the center bounce. Apparently, C7 won't provide any footage to Foxtel in that period because they've gone to commercial.

I've also heard Luke Darcy has left (sacked?) C7 in the shakeup that's going on there.

Say that again.. Darcey hates Cornes and won't work with him...

We got lucky with Stevie j in 2011

Looks to be a great day for footy ..

I agree with Fages asked about the under dogs tag.
More like medium/ even dogs .

 

[rocker_oz33]

Which tall forwards to the best could be very important..

 

[Vdubs]

Which tall forwards to the best could be very important..

Lions have the better forward line.
Swans MF is pivotal- Heeney, Gulden, Warner, Rowbottom all can kick goals.
Lions MF also brilliant.
Grundy could be the difference.
Looking forward to watching a GF where I don't hate either team, actually like both teams, no pressure at all, and both teams with huge reasons to win.
Perfect weather, should be a beauty.
Would love a draw, with extra time to decide the result- it's been that sort of season.
