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

[CatToTheFuture]

I want logically want Brisbane to win because they are more beatable and finishing above gws would be good.

But everytime the ball is in dispute I instinctively want Brisbane to lose the one on one.

Very hard to stay emotionally consistent

It is better for us if Bris win but they are flogs and i rather like GWS

Fort!

Note there's a back up ruck we should offer a contract to!

Aaaand he missed the shot as soon as I type that in

 

[terry_bright]

Just imagine the level of frustration in having hipwood on the list with a 7 years contract

The softest key position player I’ve seen in a long time. Only skill he’s elite at is flopping for frees in a marking contest

 

[Strange Cat]

For all that dominance to only be leading by 2 goals is very suprising

I'd rather give a 7 year contract to Henry Playfair.

In his current physical condition too.

 

[Gunf]

**** i hope our small forwards can do what Brisbane's has to GWS when we play them

 

[Strange Cat]

Would be good to get another draw cats_09

 

[Gunf]

GWS look great on offence but defensively they are very suspect

 

[cats_09]

 

[Gunf]

6 goals from Brisbane all scored by small/medium forwards

Cameron, Rayner and Lohman

 

[Gunf]

GWS just keep kicking it to Andrews

The taste of top 2 chances firming up is too good to ignore. Brisbane finishing as high as 4th this year also wouldn't bother me.

 

[Cataholic]

Struggling to get into this game for whatever reason.

Doesn't seem a game of contenders to me.

 

[Gunf]

HAHAHA Neale you flog

I also feel like I start to warm to Brisbane then Lachie Neale comes on screen and then I've never wanted anything more than I want Brisbane to lose

I think GWS are too good for them even with their outs anyway.

I'm also not too mad about Brisbane's season being on the brink of disaster.

Forward Harry Jones was subbed off in the final quarter after a head collision with Darcy Cameron

and was left bleeding profusely from his nose. Jones was cleared of any facial damage, but coach Brad Scott was moved to once again call for the removal of the sub role.

The thrilling final moments between Essendon and Collingwood in round seven
"He's fine and no concussion, they cleared him. But it's such a difficult one, because they have to assess him. We had 16 minutes to go in the last quarter, and they had to assess him, so we just made the call, take your time, we'll sub him, because we don't have time to wait," Scott said.

"It's one of those frustrating (ones) – I've been pretty vocal, I don't know why we have a sub. I've got absolutely no idea. If we didn't have a sub, we wouldn't have to worry about rushing the doctors to get a concussion diagnosis or not, we'd just put the fresh player on who's sitting there.

"But then we're sitting there with the fresh player, while we're assessing a key forward, while the game is on the line. The sub's supposed to take the pressure off the doctor? I'd love someone to explain that to me, I've got no idea.

"Five or four (on the bench, instead of), a sub? We brought back the rule everyone hated."

Weirdest rant in a while. He'd prefer we would go back to four on the bench and they would just play a man down instead

You’d tear your hair out watching Hipwood and Daniher butcher easy opportunities each week if you were a Lions fan.

Hipwood is a spud and Daniher has a few good games a year the rest meh or average

They are both “gunna” players. Gunna be great next season…

5 on the bench PLUS a concussion sub is ideal.

How about just 5 on the bench no sub

 

[Vdubs]

How about just 5 on the bench no sub

We need a concussion sub. Only used for a concussion. Clearly a different player every week. Also comes off again if player passes test.
5 on the bench is fine

If we have a concussion sub the same problem will happen

Coaches will bitch about being a man down due to a hammy/rib etc and they can't sub whilst the other team subbed a concussion and the AFL will bend and make it a sub for any injury. Then coaches will bitch that they didn't get to use the sub whilst the other side did due to injury which gave them a fresh player and the AFL will bend letting them use the sub for anything...... Repeat for ever

Just make it 4 or 5 or whatever number on bench and deal with it
