Oppo Camp Opposition Watch

[RowellAnderson12]

Overall with the league being so close, i genuinely think 80% of supporter bases are just as frustrated as us.

Sydney had that form slump the last month and their fans were melting while first.

Freo, Bombers, Blues fans basically on suicide watch with us.

I think the only supporter base happy are GWS & Hawthorn.

Too much inconsistency for everyone else, hasn't made it that enjoyable.

Port were a loss to St kilda away from sacking the coach mid season, they scraped over the line and now sit 2nd on the ladder. Dogs supporters on a massive roller-coaster, sack the coach to premiership favourites now may miss the 8.

If we're being honest. If we're not making finals, I'd rather move up the draft order anyway to get ahead of a Lombard bid. where we finish at this point doesnt matter

Interesting to hear the Swans players took a couple days off then all got together and asked what/where everyone’s heads were at after Ports 100+ belting.
Losing 5 of there last 6 games.

After the open and honest chat, won there past 2.

Can see Dimma spending endless hours looking into this post season.
The speed and space hawks generate forward of the ball.

Would give our forwards half a chance

Watching that footage and comparing it to our slow and wide kick mark game vs Melbourne is pretty depressing. haha.

How did we get flogged by this Melbourne team

I guess all Mason Cox is good for is acting as a 10ft Lightning Rod

In the first part of the season we had fast ball movement and play on quickly but especially after the bye we went back to the slow wide long bomb with flashes of fast ball movement out of defence except launching it from the front of the square just regularly turned it over.

I don’t know the stats but I think skills by hand and foot are still very poor especially those stupid blind over the back of the head handballs

Watches Norf and West Coast

I know we lost to both of these teams recently but... could be worse.

Watching Brisbane win their way into another home final tongiht and securing a sixth consecutive finals series has me feeling one way. Jealous.

I'm jealous that they get to experience this kind of hype of and excitement every August and September. I want that. Bad.

2025 - will you give us what we so desperately want to experience?

It was... Interesting, I'll say. I stayed for the entire thing. The 2nd strangest thing ive witnessed at the footy in recent years. The other thing was the evacuation alarm during covid.

God i hope Freo win

AFL investigates (rightly so) a bottle hitting goal umpire but were quiet when several bottles just missed our players against Essendon after Mac magic. Mac was also abused on social media - nothing from AFL again.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Definately unpopular opinion but

luckily we are shit early, i dont think i could deal with a top 2-4 start then fading completely out the 8 like Carlton, Freo & Bombers have.

Thinking you actually can win a flag and then dont even get to september

My Order of preference to win GF

Gee it's a tight run thing with that bottom 4
I'd bracket them for a super quadrella

De-listing started.

The Bombers announced on Monday that Hind, Wanganeen and Kaine Baldwin wouldn't be offered playing contracts for 2025.

Collingwood has today informed Aiden Begg he will not be offered a contract with the Club for 2025.

If Petracca ends up at the Blues.. as mentioned.
How do we match Cripps Petracca and Walsh to name a few
That’s 3 top AAA rated mids.

Who are they kicking it to?

 

[Supersuns]

Typical Carlton, chase after stars thinking it will save them.
They have so many holes on their list and Petrecca won't fill them.

If Petracca ends up at the Blues and their midfield, along with two Coleman medal forwards and an AA defender, I question their salary. Add in all their recent recruits on big dollars, and I question it even more so.

Or I question how many other players they can afford to make a full list…

Do they still have Mr. Visy on board........might be your answer if they do..

 

[KaySwizzle]

Now I’m seeing a (McClure) report of Petracca to Carlton, but only if a key forward is traded out in return. I genuinely don’t think that is worth it for Carlton. But it would keep them in cap I guess.
