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

[FootyLad0]

Always should of been a forward.

He’s not good at that either.
Dude is just pure potential.
He’s still gonna have that label when he’s 60.

On paper he’s everything you want in a footy player.
Tall, quick, athletic, big kick, strong.

What you can’t teach is footy IQ and his is negative 100.
How many guys get moved around positions a much as he does and still can’t find a position.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Nothing surprises me this year

I feel like I'm in a state of constant surprise

 

[Art Vandelay_]

That's a shame.

Baby streak...

For the last 16 games as a Saint and ALL of his 98 swans games Plugger kicked a goal.
He was held goalless 13 times in 281 games.

That’s incredible. An all time great and no question.
Also kicked 127.51 in 17 matches in 91.
(Similar to Gaz’s great 93 season 124.60 in 17 matches)

Sydney just having a 'heavy training load'

 

[frggr]

The Cameron one was infuriating. He’s had 8 free kicks all year. That turnover nearly killed us

Charlie Curnow gets 8 free kicks a game and they're similarly built, similarly styled players. It's atrocious.

 

[And_ROOS]

So what you are telling me is if Port want to win a prelim they need to make sure they play Sydney

They need to find a way to play Sydney in the QF, PF and GF and have all 3 held in Adelaide.

 

[frggr]

Kernahan 1993
Same end

But in all seriousness he copped a head knock in the marking contest

i'm sure Carlton medicos will clear him, before he's a late out with 'illness' next week

I didn't mind him as a forward personally, reckon he needed more time up forward, just needed to fix his kicking. Footy IQ is why I hated him in defense had no idea what or when to do it, as a forward tho, flies at the ball and can take a strong mark, crashes packs and is quick for a big guy.

Yep. Mistakes aren't as costly up forward, either. His physicality at the contest is great. His skills below the knees are good for a guy his size.

I think he'll be serviceable for Port. But even that screamer he took tonight he almost dropped.

 

[dazbroncos]

Not sure there's ever been a worse shot to win the game after the siren than that.

didnt Kernahan kick one OOF after siren when he needed a point to win it?

GO Catters

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Watched the Carlton finish in real time and thought to myself "Carlton still haven't convinced me. Maybe this will be the moment for them. Have they turned the corner?"

The answer was resoundingly shit. They're still pretenders and I don't see them winning flags.

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Swans having a midseason premiership hangover?

 

[Gunf]

Was laughing at the "the round so far video" as it starts with

"we will start with the big story" no not Sydney being destroyed but Coll-Carlton

 

[BotsMaster]

Giants or Hawks today?

 

[winty]

Yikes!

Update on this....

 

[Munich]

C'mon sainters

 

[Gunf]

Reading some thoughts from opposition supporters on our games this year one would think we only ever win due to umpires and would be 0-20 without them

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Giants or Hawks today?

I prefer hawks as it helps us since they are furtherback on %.
But i think the giants win.

 

[James1970]

Giants or Hawks today?

Giants by 19.

 

[Gunf]

Draw please

 

[Gunf]

Giants get the first 8 inside 50s for 1.4
Hawks get the next 2 inside 50s for 2.0

 

[MisterMarcus]

Yeah we’re at the time of year when we need to clench our teeth and cheer for teams we hate, because it helps us.

 

[Gunf]

Hawks destroying GWS since about 5 mins into the game
