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

[Vdubs]

Stringer may not be a crowd favourite, but a very influential player.

 

[Vdubs]

Also can I just pre-emptively say to Vdubs that I don't care what your opinion on this is.

Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Loved the games of Merrett, Duursma, Stringer, Caddy, McKay, in fact the whole team was exciting.

 

[Commando]

Does this Essendon performance make last weeks win better??

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Flicked a couple of auto tip seasons into squiggle to get an idea of how wide a range of outcomes we're looking at this this season.

My second run through had Collingwood 3rd overall end of H&A, the third run they were 13th.

It’ll be interesting to see if there’s any media talk in regards to Collingwood’s approach to this weeks game

After playing against GC on Saturday afternoon, Collingwood had an extended stay up in queensland where the went through their recovery processes, match review and potentially even a training session before then having a day off to do whatever which probably included returning to Vic

So with a Friday night game this week, and potentially still being up in Qld until sometime Tuesday - is that really the best match preperation?

I vote they fly to Queensland this week again just to check the theory

Imagine giving up pick 6 for Lachie Schultz

 

[Grimoz]

Stringer may not be a crowd favourite, but is certainly a flog of a bloke!

Fixed that for you!!

Woof

Would love them to lose every game from here just to see Freo walking into the draft with that pick and just chuckling quietly

 

[frggr]

Collingwood board in shambles.

One poster claiming they'll beat Geelong next week but then not another game after that

Almost as good as when Collingwood agreed to this trade during the 2020 draft

 

[year of the cat]

Collingwood having the season we had last year. Probably a bit better but no flag threat.
Mihocek looks a certain loss for next week which leaves their forward line threadbare of key position players.

Really tough to watch it unfold.

Good chance of that happening tbf

No mihocek. I'm actually happy to continue SDK rucking next week

Not a chance
The next two games for the cats are mojo games
Win them both and we come home strong

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I would prefer we beat them, then they lose the rest of the year

Pies are one team I’d feel comfortable SDK rucking in. And as you allude to, particularly with no Mihocek.

Injury or suspension?

Injury or suspension?

Injury. Looks a strained pec at best.

Didn't catch the name but they were talking tendon. Could be his season but maybe only a few weeks

 

[frggr]

Mihocek looks like he'll need surgery according to the post match.

Injury. Looks a strained pec at best.

McCrae just confirmed it looks like it'll need surgery. Needs scans to confirm. Will be the season if so.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I could see a world where we lose to the Hawks and beat the Pies and end of season everyone agrees those are the expected results

If we lose at home to the Hawks without Sicily ill pack it up for rest of the season!!!
