No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XXXIX

[GhostofJimJess]

People need to learn the rules. It wasn’t 50m. McCartin was at full speed on the tail of McStay. McStay marks … McCartin understandably can’t stop on a dime, and his momentum takes him a few metres over the mark. Umpire calls him back which he begins to do, and in the process of retreating back to the mark McStay wheels around onto his left and umpire calls play on.

If Laura comes out and says that was 50m, after saying the Pies V Roos one wasn’t, then all hope is lost for the leadership of our game.

Exactly MR.

The inertia was always going to carry him forward, just like it did to McStay who he was trailing. What are they expecting McCartin to do, throw himself to the ground like the javelin throwers who have to stop on a dime? Our blokes just aren't trained for that.

And anyway, if it's 50-50 the doubt should always go against the 50 metre penalty. After all, McStay still had the ball in his own forward half with the benefit of an unimpeded disposal. He screwed it up by just bombing to a contest.

We are already there, no accountability, no leadership, all they want is to play AFL-X at AFLHQ

A Cats win will be good for Freo's natural pick...

 

[captain blood 17]

They're way more ****ed than we are currently. We're on track to kick the rebuild off and be starting to tick towards coming good again as Tassie enters. They're on track to finally realise how cooked their list is just as Tassie enters.

Can’t wait to see them trade value their stars like Cox etc. Gonna be epic.

 

[Danog]

Cmon Norf, smack the Eagles so we can win vs Gold campaigners without any pressure.

 

[Greggy]

Pick 1 a certainty.

 

[captain blood 17]

Xerri just hammered Reid in a good tackle. Norf looking ok here.

Norf going to be fine. They got ****ed with covid draft and ice bath mummy's boy going home.

they've got the skeleton of a good team now for sure.

No reason we can't have same talent level or more by 2026 if we trade this year. Plus we should find it easier to attract free agents/trade targets.

Just gotta hope we don't lose a #1 pick as it will set us back at least 1 year.

Yeah good point having some young gun top end recruits in will have that extra benefit of making us a more attractive destination. Lost the Dusty factor now.

 

[Freddy Swift]

I don't agree with that at all.

A) They have a brilliant coach, we don't. I would back McRae over Yze anytime.


Our people said the same shit about Geelong after 2020. I reckon before we start pointing and laughing at others we should maybe make get off the bottom of the ladder & not have every single of our best players planning an escape route.

Let's just sit down and shut the **** up about other clubs until then. Pointing and laughing from the very bottom is about as pathetic as arrogance gets

This is the Opposition Observation thread is it not? Well people are watching the opposition and observing.

And you’d be the last one to lecture anyone on anything. If you don’t like anything in here you’re not compelled to keep coming in. It’s not mandatory.

Phillips doesn't look so bad. Would much rather him as a 4th string mid than Dow/Graham.

im on board with this year, but if we start well next year we shouldnt tank until rd 15 imo

see what happens

There's a clear #1 next year. We want #1. It's between us and West Coast. Big worry for them that Kelly, Yeo, McGovern were most of their best players this year.

gagf

Long way to go but yeah at this point that campaigner is a ****ing monster.

Is it too early for me to say the one the year after is special? Talk about the tank in 2026 just to upset Groupie_

What about those who only eat vegetables?

live forever of course

 

[Lsta062]

Look at all of these options GWS have inside 50. Forward ball movement under Kingsley is excellent.
