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

Man I love the gws media team

They've set such a high standard, and I'm not sure other teams really can compete on that level & that if they tried, it just wouldn't have the same impact - just look a bit try-hardish

He is cooked Steven King style. So glad we ended up going down the develop our own path with Conway and Edwards given where our list is at overall.

Man Bruz lucked out doing it last year in a final, if he did it this season (and played for anyone bar Collingwood) he would have gotten 10 weeks.

Look he could repeat it in a final this year and probably get a strong reprimand

To be honest I think he's lucky the tribunal didn't rubber stamp the 8 afl house were chasing

Not to go all conspiracy theory crazy, but guess who the Saints play in Round 8...

Boy howdy that will be one to watch

 

[BotsMaster]

I might have to make Giants my first team at this rate.

It's definitely tempting.

Wonder if Clarkson gets a 7 week break also - that really would make things interesting

Imagine if he did it again.

Imagine the comments his family would make on socials.

I think he'll be a very good boy from here on.

I think he'll be lucky to be playing that game anyway. Ross would have a mind to bring him back through the 2s for letting his team down.

An that's a curve ball. Hopefully he stays and cooks their cap and we can pick off Bailey smith

After listening to this, I'm pretty happy Doedee decided to head north rather than return to Vic - just sounds like a needless whinge of a 5-yr old

No one eats pie floaters here. And who doesn't like Coopers? He chose the XXXX state over that? Blech. No one is forcing him to eat fruchocs and drink FUIC though they're pretty good. He's not copping a fine for not saying "heaps good". I can understand Brisbane being a more laid back city though.

What's fruchocs? I've been to SA a couple of times, but never heard of then it tried them

I've also never had a pie floater, but feel like it's somewhat targeted as a touristy thing which I avoid. I maybe drank Coopers during my visits but I also like to drink local beers when traveling & had no issues with not ordering Coopers

As for FUIC - it's in ever ****ing supermarket & corner store in Vic - not even sure I knew it was South Aussie, and it's something I've been drinking since I was a kid

I'm heading to Adelaide for a few days to coincide with our round 2 clash against the Crows - I may just keep an eye out now for those little whinge things, and highly doubt they'll have any impact on my stay

Fruchocs are basically just cubes of dried apricot coated in chocolate. They have a bit of a cult following and they sell them at the footy if you want to grab a bag at the crows game

That's not the bag most people are grabbing

Doedee sounds like the only thing he has between the ears is doo doo.

I'll see myself out.

Well look, I'm probably a bit old for it but if anyone is at the game and holding it'd be rude not to

Actually one thing you used to be able to do which was wildly popular with fruchocs fans is to go to the factory with your own bag and just bulk buy.

Really depends on your individual health circumstances as to whether I'd recommend this

Absolutely heartbreaking for the Murphy family and shocking for the wider Geelong Cats family.

RIP Samantha. I hope the police can bring her body home to her family.

It should go without saying, but no person should go for a run and never come home to their family.

 

[Baudolino]

No bumping, tackling, smothers or speccies. Is this footy’s future?

The AFL’s relentless pursuit of safety and the mounting legal cases threaten to strip the very essence of the game.

This is easily Cornes' best take ever, and I respect him for going against the prevailing "avoiding any risk of injury is all that matters" narrative on this. Every word he says here is on point.
