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

[Gunf]

Does he still do Bonds adverts?

If he does retire then good on him - there's more to life then simply doing something just for money, and if he doesn't have the passion to go on then respect to him for going out in his time

Pretty sure he still does them as i noticed one not long ago while watching F1 or Golf on Kayo

Only 1 more win than the Hawks
Only ourselves to blame, sadly.

Imagine how good it’d be to bring them back down to Earth with an almighty thud in front of our home crowd in a few weeks

I asked the question about the Hawks a week or two ago.

They seem to be going ok, all things considered.

It would, but I expect it'll be a battle for us.

Dusty genuinely couldn't do media

Yep

If he's not going to do an interview for game #300, he's definitely not going to go into the media post career

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Um just flicked on.... what?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

They clearly need a 3rd bye.

Surely the rumours about Dusty retiring are wrong.

Bloke has nothing to offer society other than kicking a footy.

Has no personality so can't do media.

No brains so can't do a degree.

Surely he has to stick with footy until he physically can't do it any more.

Bit of Ablett snr about his post footy future.

Ablett snr is the best footballer I’ve seen, but it was the only thing he could do.

They're not a bad side, sadly. Mitchell is a worryingly good coach and their list looks primed for a flag push over in ~2-3 years time.

This didn't help

Having seen that again and having met GAS a few times I'm not sure this is legit.

Clearly not GAS.

They do seem to be building......

They wont play finals this year but long term they are looking good. They still are a key forward and a key back should be their midfield is very good.

Their forward line needs a bit of work

Chol over Kosi is a huge upgrade and they’ve gotten nothing out of Lewis due to injury this year. Ginnivan has been playing as well as he did in his 2022 season IMO, not as many goals but more all-round skill and team play.

Have to give them credit for their recruiting over the past couple of years.

Meek, D’Ambrosio, Ginnivan and Chol for a couple of future second and third round picks.

I could mount an argument that three of them if not all four would get a game for us next week if they were on our list.

Ahead of our forwards? Not a chance

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Wow Crows. Three defenders, Amartey comes in from outside all 3 and plucks it and nails the goal.

Clear as day panic holding the man in the next sequence of play for another.

Crows defenders having a bad few mins

 

[catters_28]

Crows will lose by 5 goals now

I’ll take Chol over Neale any day of the week when we’re talking about 2024 form. Ginnivan is the one who I couldn’t find room for.

 

[hoopla]

Watching Grundy block the opposition ruck in every single centre bounce is very frustrating…just like last week. Why doesn’t the umpire see it and pay a free?

 

[Strange Cat]

Very much like with us Syd just absorbs the pressure and then ramps up at the end of the game to run away with it

Going to be a hard team to beat this year unless they choke again on the big stage

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Amartey has gone from equal 17th in the Coleman to 5th and he's lining up for another.

Got to get it done in Melbourne
That's the worry for them, like Lions last year
