No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XXI

[Cotcho]

Have the oppo melted about our easy finals matchups yet? Can't believe we only play teams below us for the entire finals series. If we go on to win it there should be an * next to the name.

 

[k31th]

haha; somebody surely has pointed out that imbalance

 

[Livonski]

This is basically what I'm against, the coaching attitudes and positions towards play styles that will change to suit the potential rule change. The thing itself may mean that these bombs out over centre will mean CHF's have to have even more importance and there'll be more room in the forward 50 for re-entries.

Still, since it's a fairly major shake-up, it probably won't happen without extensive testing.

Agree.

I suspect this great new paradigm will be completely blunted when there's only 5 or 6 kick outs per game.
Teams won't try the risky shots.

And how desperate will teams be to rush behinds? What an advantage if you can knock it thru then launch a bomb over the centre.

And because the giant novelty sized square is so giant you can rush from anywhere now without being penalised.

GWS flog on the radio saying new rules won’t suit Richmond at all , only suit GWS and Melbourne because they have the most skilled players and Richmond don’t have many lol FMD

Lol I heard that, couldn't help but chuckle. I'd tell that bloke to not let the truth get in the way of a good story.

just one step closer to till channel 7s dream of being able to kick goals from a full back kick in.

cant put add breaks in during behinds

NOT TRUE!!! If you make the goal square long enough, by the time a behind has been scored and the full back kicks out there could be enough time to squeeze in one of those tennis style quick adds!!

Perhaps this was the real plan after all!!!

I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. It gives gopies the excuse if the crowd is subpar.

Hello Gil

 

[Cotcho]

They should make it a 70m long square, replace the grass with LED screen and it plays one continuous advert. They can call it the Tim Worner super square!! Only players with number 7 on their back can enter the square.

 

[Tonymontana344]

LOL @ The Front Bar...so funny just crack me up! Had tears in my eyes from laughing so much...
An observation...TFB is the Richmond of current footy shows cos they enjoy what they are doing and are good at it!

Lol who's Jared Polec?? Love Jim Jess, he launched onto a Torp and found his dad in the crowd, haha

 

[Power Play]

Melbourne hot favorites tonight, last time they were hot favourites they lost to Sydney at the MCG.

Last 3 games they were either the underdog or marginal favourite.

I hope they lose tonight, but if they win I can still laugh at Hawthorn for going out in straight sets for the 2nd time in 3 years.

 

[AlorraVex]

You realise that Dusty's goal last week will be coached out of the game?

Any risky shot won't be taken. Penalty for kicking a point means the ball gets bombed over the centre. Especially when it's tight but generally this will disappear from the game.

Defences will clog up the inside 50 corridor because that's the only spot attackers will want to shoot from.

So we'll get significantly fewer spectacular goals from the boundary, or anything greater than a 45 degree angle.

Which will lead to fewer shots in total, which leads to lower scores.

Is that what we want?

AFL and the yes men can only focus on the kickouts...NFI about the unintended consequences.

100% true. Then the AFL will ask what new rules they can bring in to fix it, instead of looking at themselves and wondering if they screwed it up in the first place. Never held accountable.

 

[TigerTime_89]

I hope the Hawks win.

 

[AlorraVex]

Why the hell am I going through and reading 20 pages of this.

Dunno about you but I'm procrastinating a uni assignment that's due today.

 

[Shazza_]

My hashtag out again,just unbelievable the media.

 

[smasha]

Hiding in an underground G bar tomorrow.

Lol,AFL flogging cheap tickets for this match.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Irrespective if we win the flag or not the afl can shove their 18m goal square up their arse. I won’t be going next year if that comes in. They can GAGF.

I'll still go, but I'll sit up the back of Level 4 with a bag of popcorn laughing at how their rule changes have done nothing to solve congestion or make the game "better"

 

[Grizza]

Yesterday on SEN Maher said we only got 70 against GWS in the prelim

Sums him up.
