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

[Romeoh1]

Hawks very good and tigers are terrible. Many years in the wilderness for them again after the 3 flags. They will think it’s worth it, and it is, but gee it’s boring being out of contention year in, year out. ( from memory!)

 

[cats_09]

How much of an impact will this have on Hawthorn if Day is out for an extended period?

It may not have a major impact today, but thinking it could come finals

 

[Romeoh1]

A win will do for me.

Haha-same.

reminiscent of 2007 Tigers v Cats at Etihad?

 

[catters_28]

Finishing 4th means we avoid the winner of the likely Dogs/Hawks EF if we lose in week one.

Well that's a silver lining because I do not want to play these Hawks in this form

Ah yes- well let’s hope it doesn’t start a similar era for hawks. They are playing very good footy.

Tigers are a little less embarrassing right now

Well they were 1-6 when Day returned from injury at the start of the year. Midfield goes back to plod central with him out.

What is Dermott wearing on the fox half time show? If he is going for “eccentric 60 year old museum curator” then he is nailing it.

They may be able to cover his absence today and next week against North

But if he's not available week 1 of the finals and they're facing say the Bulldogs, then his absence could well be felt

or the Dogs from my pov

This season- for a long time, I thought for sure it would be a Swans Blues GF. Now they are fighting to make the 8 with their array of injuries

 

[catters_28]

Thank god we didn't get Hopper

 

[Mr Meow]

I don't recall the 3-peat Hawks being this ruthless and dominant; the Tigers are deplorable though.

Settle down. The 2014 Hawks would beat this Richmond team by 20-25 goals.

An array of injuries that was only damaging from the 2nd quarter last week, at which point they were already in the process of losing their 5th game out of 6.

[Cataholic]

That was a real ordinary 50m penalty against Richmond then

 

[Munich]

Wtf WC

 

[Cataholic]

This Hawthorn game is very reminiscent of last night.

Hawthorn doing what they want, and Richmond giving little resistance.

 

[BotsMaster]

West Coast not doing us any favours

 

[catempire]

If:

• Blues win last two
• Freo beats Port
• GWS beat Dogs

Dogs will miss the 8

 

[Cataholic]

West Coast not doing us any favours

We couldn't do ourselves a favour so can't expect too much from others.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Well come tonight Fremantle are going to be given the old heave ho , out of the 8

Another bitter bitter bitter dissappointing season for Frem

I think you can certainly argue that the bottom half of the 8 is at least as good as the teams in the top half of the 8

8 teams who all need 3-4 more top notch players each ,to be then classed as a really really good side

 

[Cataholic]

I will vomit in my lunchbox if Hawthorn get anywhere near the GF.

Surely life can't be THAT cruel.....can it??!

 

[Baggins15]

I’d be both surprised and disappointed if we don’t put West Coast away by 40+ next week. They are hot garbage and their record at GMHBA is beyond awful. Far, far better Eagles sides have left the place with their tails between their legs over the past 15-20 years, let alone this current incarnation that sits 16th with a percentage of 70-ish.

As much as we’ve developed a habit of switching off in games like this, we should still put them to the sword if we’re even half-serious.
