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

Jeez I like Reville

 

[Vdubs]

Go Lions. Brilliant result

 

[Romeoh1]

Good game. Thought the dees almost deserved to hold on. Gallant effort. Brissy a bit underwhelming again, after looking so impressive last week.

Great that they pushed us to 8th?

Yeah that last quarter was pretty good to watch.

Young Neale-Bullen will not be the most popular bloke tonight

Bit unlucky I thought- he didn’t have many options. He works hard every week. Ah footy.

I think Lions are a top 4 team, so this is a critical 4 points. Relying on other teams for our ladder position doesn't interest me.

I think if he handpassed vaguely in the direction of viney it wouldn't have been called but yeah, I guess tough position. It just looked so obvious at the time

That game was a calamity of skill errors.

Either neither of the teams tonight are contenders or if either is the standard of the league has way fallen.

With Viney and Kosi, Demons were in the game, but the better team that dominated most facets, won the game

Yep. It was there but still a tough way to lose.

Thought it was pretty even and thought brissy a bit disappointing actually. Expected them to win comfortably. I thought they were coming but not sure- their run home is a mixed bag.

You have been consistently saying that since preseason. Maybe true. Nevertheless, these are teams we will struggle to beat the way we are performing, so it's a moot point. In the last 7 weeks, we are the 15th best team, so let's fix us before canning teams above us. We are still above Demons at present.

High pressure game, lots at stake, mistakes bound to happen. They have been poor at home.

 

[Vdubs]

Viney was like Joel Selwood at his best tonight

 

[Vdubs]

I also see Bulldogs as a top 8 team- not enough spots

Can I have some of what you’re smoking?

We will struggle to beat them unless we play better thats for sure.

Im just saying even the good teams this year seem to be all effort and a lack of skill. The quality of the league seems to have flattened out a lot to my eye.

It's been on a downward trend for a few years now...too many teams the obvious answer. It's also no coincidence some teams have fallen in a heap since the rule changes a month or so ago. Us in particular...training all preseason one way, having to stop and then play catch-up. Crazy way to run a comp.

Who comes out if they are to play finals?

 

[cats_09]

What's with Melbourne players & stupid free kicks late in matches in the defensive 50 against Brisbane...

Example 1


Example 2

 

[cats_09]

Great that they pushed us to 8th?

Some seem happier at positive results for all teams bar Geelong...

 

[winty]

Melbourne would have to be worried about the last quarter fadeouts. 5 goals to zip last week against Norf, and 3.6 to 0.4 last night.

Combining the last halves in the last two weeks they kicked 3.8 26 to 13.12 90

 

[Munich]

Suck shit Melbourne.
