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

[My Tilly]

Crows should play finals this year. Much better list than Gold Coast or Bulldogs

 

[Munich]

St Kilda are a different team at docklands. We have actually lost the last 3 against them there.

Not living in Melbourne anymore I didn't realise how little we play there.

Since mid 2019 we have played more games at AO, Gabba and Perth Stadium than at docklands, and the same number of games at the SCG compared with docklands.

Yep usually play there once a year against St Kilda/Dogs.

 

[Hinkley29]

Ridiculous non-call here. That was a textbook high tackle.

Except that he created the contact and lifted the arm to make it high.

I am very happy for that to be play on. If only it was umpired consistently that way.

 

[Gunf]

Crows could be good this year if the coaching stays good

They'll be better at Marvel but they'll still have a fair few out

Luckily we can't relate.

Thank God.

Melbourne wearing a St Patrick's Day jumper?

And this comes just days after he signed a contract extension to keep coaching them for another couple of years

Melbourne wearing a St Patrick's Day jumper?

I'm scared to look

 

[Spearman]

Good for fans that Ross is no longer emphasizing defense?

Jim Stynes

The Saints are already looking like a bottom-four team this year, although I think most of their recognized forwards are out injured.

As someone 10,353 miles away, I get there is bad weather coming, but why do the Dees always get the smallest crowds at the G and never play at Docklands? They did have a long gap between flags, is that it? Not a great look there “tonight.”

Pea heart club and supporters.

Though if this is a Jim Stynes game they should be turning up.

F1 is on as well.

Melbourne are one of 4 teams for whom the MCG is their official home ground: Collingwood, Hawthorn, Melbourne and Richmond

Hence why they play home games at the MCG and not Marvel

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Dees supporters are soft as F.

It's a special day to celebrate one of their past champions, and hardly any of them turn up.

Marshall was icing his knee late in the 4th today, wouldn't be mad if he missed next week.
Has killed us for years.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

It's always sad tuning in to a Melbourne game and seeing the MCG basically empty. It's not like they're North or the Saints or something. They won a flag a few years ago...

They're all eating cheese in the MCC.

If the Saints field the same next week as they did today, even with Marshall, we shouldn't be worried. Heap of players in that side who clearly are not AFL standard.

 

[Gunf]

Did not expect Melb to be leading GWS

 

[Gunf]

One thing is for certain between round 0 and round 1 a lot of teams/players/coaches are rusty

I actually feel sorry for them. Felt sorry for the missus today too. She got all excited for the start of the season and for was dead again to her by half time.
