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

[Vdubs]

I care very much! We can't afford another thrashing at the hands of your mob again, it will set the tone for the rest of the year.

you have much better defence against your nemesis in Tomahawk this time round; almost like your recruiting was for players of his ilk.

The best part is that they take the piss out of themselves also, not just everyone else

Weird going after a kid with one practice match to his name. What were Judds numbers in his first praccy match? Judds first season was at a WCE who finished 8th, and his first game he had 19 disposals against a Pies team that ended up finishing 4th. But its not like everyone didn't know Judd was a freak who would quickly become elite.

Reid coming into a team thats an absolute shambles, highly doubt that they finish 2024 outside of the bottom 3, and unlike Judd, Reid comes into a team with terrible rucks who will struggle to get him the ball, and mids who can protect him.

Port really overrated Sav was all lost at sea in his first hit out tonight .

I'm glad he isn't with us anymore, it was like we were playing with one less on the field. I always think back to this game. Gets injured and subbed off for Dahlhaus, we're down by 6 goals, we go on to win by 2 goals.

The expectations of the West coast fan base will destroy young Harley

West Coast hit with injury chaos in derby scratch-match

The AFL’s No.1 draft pick was writhing in pain while his teammate limped off in the dying seconds.

A day after Angus Brayshaw retires due to concussion, Sam Powell-Pepper decides to go and do this...

He probably would have made a great old-school 'Lumbering Lummox' KPP in the 70s and 80s.

Just born a generation or two too late.

Man I really like the kid but he is just not going to get a career

This is his 7th season on an AFL list and so far he’s played 9 games - 2 for us & 7 for Collingwood

Of those 7 games for Collingwood, he came on as the sub twice & was subbed off on 4 occasions

This WCE team is hard to watch, and a lot of the worst stuff comes from their experienced players.

Kelly gets the ball and handballs to nothing in space, Yeo gets the ball under no pressure and kicks it to a 3v2 in the Crows favour.

Dishlickers taking a leaf out of our book in front of goal. Currently 2.11 in time on in the 2nd quarter.

Sanders looks good for the Dogs, has a bit of JHF about him in how he looks when he runs. Also looks funny with the socks up while everyone else besides the rucks have their socks down.

While this is funny, the dogs not kicking as bad as 2.12 in the first half is all that saves this from being utterly hilarious.

Got a big shock when I checked the FT score. Hawks were comfortably ahead in the second quarter (admittedly due to poor Doggies kicking), so I wasn't expecting a 60 point blowout.

Sanders was awesome, i wish we had done more to get him, he is exactly what we needed, our midfield looks poor again.

Won't have to worry about Webster Round 1.

No he's gone and on another note Norf look like an easy 8 points for the Cats on early form.

A first year player is not going to solve anyone's midfield problems this year.

We already invested hugely in midfielders recently with Holmes, Clark and Bruhn being our first rounders and second rounders Knevitt and Willis (and Conway if you're counting rucks). Adding 2x more first rounders to get Sanders which is what would've been needed would leave us extremely unbalanced.
