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

What an absolute sham this umpiring is.

 

[frggr]

If Hawkins got the treatment Curnow gets, he'd have kicked 6000 goals

What an absolute sham this umpiring is.

Curnow only has to get within 20m of the ball to get a free kick.

It's laughable.

It's laughable.

The commentators concentrate on the smallest stuff but never, ever question frees to Curnow

 

[frggr]

"That little nudge puts Bergman under the ball"


You mean the clear hand in the back?

A free to Curnow is just a given now.

It’s frustrating watching Sav. He has so much potential but he just can’t seem to consistently put it together. I really hope he gets there one day.

Physical monster but most players who don't grow up with the game lack a lot of nuance on running patterns, timing, positioning etc.

Imagine Dan Menzels brain in Esavas body? Would have been Wayne Carey x20.

Sadly for players like Esava his ceiling is "some games very good".

 

[frggr]

From behind, umpire 32 looks a bit like Miers

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We're on another Ken is bad night.

 

[hoopla]

Nice goal. Close game now.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

What’s wrong with Carlton? We don’t want PA in 2nd lol

 

[Strange Cat]

Watch the umpires drag the blues over the line

Jack Viney recording a promo about working at KPMG, despite knowing that earlier in the year he'd been filmed by AFL media delivering such pearlers as 'Is Mongolia a country?' and 'does Africa have a flag?', is a truly extraordinary act of confidence.

Not even that hard either. Monaco the only one I missed.

Watch the umpires drag the blues over the line

A Carlton win is probably better for us though.

 

[BotsMaster]

Yeah, it's disgusting what Carlton get away with.

No fine for their BS either - just a "reprimand"

They have the best lawyers in the game.

 

[Catman]

Carlton's GF was against us five weeks ago, wasn't it?

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Only saw the last quarter, but glad they moved Sav forward, definitely where he belongs, there’s a spot there for him, hope he can put it together

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

If Hawkins got the treatment Curnow gets, he'd have kicked 6000 goals

Curnow kicked 81 goals in 2023 but received 39 free kicks that year, Hawkins kicked 49 but had 9 frees.

In 2022 Hawk kicked 67 goals, he received 17 Frees and had 26 against.
iHawkins has never had help from the umps and he just gets it done. An all time great!

Sav was excellent. Hawkins said he belongs in defence, but can clearly switch. Love the Sav and hope he can have success in finals.

Narkle with 1 touch in 26 minutes of game time.

We are often everyones GF, its the curse of success.

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Sav was excellent. Hawkins said he belongs in defence, but can clearly switch. Love the Sav and hope he can have success in finals.

Maybe an Adam Hunter style swing man. I do love Sav, remember his potential in 18 before the leg break, looked like he could be anything. Hope he does well.

 

[frggr]

Lord that is satisfying.

Carlton have lost 3 of the last 4 with a close win over North.

Ya reckon the media will run negative stories about em? Not on your life.

 

[frggr]

Narkle with 1 touch in 26 minutes of game time.

Great goal assist though

Port are only .1% ahead of us on percentage. Win tomorrow and we overtake them.

Our run home is softer than theirs too.
