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

[Cataholic]

I dont think Frem are anywhere near as good as some think , 3 goals behind W/Coast at h/time in their Derby last week isnt world shattering form

Geel play well they are a decent chance of winning

Geelong play well......therein lays the niggling doubt.

And We were down by 10 points to Adelaide with like 10 mins to go. A team that just lost at home to hawks by 66 points. I’d be surprised if we get within 5 goals next week

Our win wasn't spectacular but the difference in how the Crows played last week to this week is night and day

Last week they played like a bottom 4 side and this week they played like they were embarrassed by how they played last week

It's uh 92 to 9 and I thought we were bad

Crows played very well tbf, but the team really responds when they have to I felt they weren’t pressuring them hard enough in the first half and it came back to bite them

Still struggled to beat a bottom 4 team. I’m just saying I’ll be very surprised if we go to Perth and knock off a top 4 team. I’ll be very happy to be wrong.

Remember when some thought it was fait accompli that Swans would win the flag.

Hmm could the unthinkable happen and Carlton miss the 8?

If they lose this week i would almost bet on it

Fingers crossed so I can drink their tears as they have been insufferable this year

Only bad thing is them missing would probably mean Hawks/Coll/Ess make it

Did De Goey just ping a hammy?

Bit early for hamstring awareness

This is such shallow analysis. Adelaide also pushed the lions in Brisbane and we beat the Hawks by 51… does that not count?

Cats are good enough to beat Freo, but Freo are also good enough to beat the Cats. It’s that kind of year.

He's done

 

[Gunf]

Been listed as injured now so probably has done his hammy and sounds like a bad one so he is done for the year

Winters been a bit cold, good time to hit up Bali

Hopefully Bali is the only thing he hits

3 very important games tomorrow for us

Giants vs Hawks
Saints vs Bris
Ess vs Freo

All 3 games could determine if we finish top 4 or not

I was replying to this comment

“We can beat freo cos they were down by 3 goals to west coast”

Yet me saying we were down by 10 points to Adelaide is shallow. Haha Yeh righto mate

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Its the Dogs to lose at this moment

A month ago the dogs were cooked and going to miss the 8.
If they are the supposed best team we absolutely can win the flag if we hit form for a month

Ah fair enough, I missed what you were replying to.

This year comparison to any other game to help predict a result seems irrelevant.

This here is key

Who ever hits from for 4 weeks during finals will win it

 

[Gunf]

That should be game unless Coll choke

Obviously helps us if freo and bris lose but we still probably need to win all our games to get top 4.

That said if carlton stumble winning 2 of 3 could get us top 4 depending on our % (we would need to beat wce by a lot).

Pretty much. All the supposed contenders are very up and down. I still think our best can win it.
