Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 1

Rohan Connolly posted this on Threads. A 8 year old Max Holmes in St Kilda gear being interviewed by Rohan before the 2010 GF.

I am glad we saved him from that life

Poor kid was probably in tears too the year before as a 7-year old when Chappy broke their hearts.

The Richmond fans expecting the world in trades and then melting when it doesn't happen is very funny.

Apparently the Graham compo was part of the AFL anti Richmond conspiracy and now Brisbane has bent them over on the pick swap.

It was definitely a few phone calls from SHocking to drop the compo pick and not a contract that genuinely reflects his expected output. Geelong robs them of a second round pick as part of the master plan

The fact that the compo pick was that high is highway robbery should have been 50-60 they are lucky they finished last or it would have been even lower

Richmond wanted two years worth of first round picks from Brisbane in exchange for their late round scraps

Problem is, they've had such an embarrassingly bad season that trade week was all the had to look forward to for months. Absolutely nothing for them to do since April but jerk themselves raw about getting 10 first rounders this year.

I remember thinking even at the time "This is not going to end well for you guys. There'll some almighty melts come October".

I sort of figured it'd be underworld drug dealing types, but didn't quite think it was "convicted murderer" types:

Glad we steered clear of Stringer if this is the kind of bloke he befriends.

Good on Essendon for boooting both of them.

Prag who is on the Collingwood board was asking Jon Ralph directly what he thinks Rioli’s value is?
This is no word of a lie what his response was.



When Prag then further pushed him “by that logic Noble is worth Pick 13“

Ralphy went full Tugger mode and started claiming all of Rioli’s best and fairest finishes justified it.

Hilarious stuff, even the Tugger reporter who is supposed to be professional and unbiased can’t help himself
After the way they’ve been acting on different boards like they’re getting a billion 1st round picks and acting like tosspots I really really hope with fingers crossed it blows up in their faces and the melts go on and on….

And it’ll all be the Geelong Media Mafia’s fault, somehow?….

It's just ridiculous. Baker as well seems
the Tigers fans were mentally banking 14 outright which to me seems ridiculous.

I mean OOC wanting to go home to Perth, West Coast pick 3 on the psd with only tigers and North ahead of them. A second round pick or equivalent trade up just to not be a d*** about it has to be where that sits

Here’s hoping they draft a bunch of tamblings would be rather poetic for them to go through that again

trades?
Do you reckon both will get done?

Also who is this “Mystery Mid” you speak of? Is it like a running joke or is there genuinely a story behind it?

Thanks for taking the time to hear me out

Ciao!

Just want your thoughts on the Bailey Smith and Clayton Oliver trades?

Caio!

You probably want to put this one on the trade thread, this thread is for gossiping about teams that aren't Geelong

Mystery mid is just a running joke from about a decade ago where a poster kept up a story that a mid was going to come to Geelong and never did. Never told anyone who it was.

Just reckon Smith gets done tbh.

The great one will rise again from his slumber and herald the new mystery mid

It’ll come out soon enough I reckon .. my guess it’ll be German related

Turns out we were both wrong - impersonating celebrity couples? Must have taken it to some weird places
