Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread (2023)

[SuperSub17]

Not nearly enough is said about how short the Gabba is—have a look at the distance from the square to the 50. It’s actually only 1m shorter than the SCG (which seems to cop a lot of flak for being small).

Really helps Brisbane’s long kicking.

 

[Chameleon75]

Just a hunch but I suspect the port board is all sack Ken

 

[eyeroller]

Lions just taking the p*ss now

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

What is our matchup for Cameron if we got through to a GF and so did Bris?

Doesn’t seem to work with Q

Would we try Leggy? Has speed and his height might help.

 

[Antz]

We’re not there yet.

Exactly, too many supporters sounding like Carlton supporters and being overconfident. We still need to win one more game to make the GF. Don't get ahead of yourselves, please.

 

[Markfs]

just in case anyone wants to sing the brisbane song after the game

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Those that played in the 2019 Prelim will have that loss on their mind after going in as such hot favourites. I would be surprised if we don’t make the GF this year but you never can be certain.

I'm not sure I want to play Brisbane if we make the granny

 

[LuckyLee]

FMD, Brisbane looks pretty good. Hopefully Carlton will beat them in the prelim and we can play Carlton in the GF

You’d rather play Carlton than Bris in a GF at The G? I wouldn’t.

We’d have no home ground or crowd advantage and imagine if Carlton won another flag at our expense. That would be appalling. Vomit-inducing. We would never live it down.

By contrast I’m very confident that we can beat Brisbane on our home turf and get revenge for 2002-03.

Famous last words but at least tickets shouldn’t be an issue for the Prelim

 

[danielnajdek]

Hopefully Port get over the line next week. We'll pummel them if they make it to us.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I really hope Port beat GWS

I’d be somewhat nervous playing GWS in a Prelim.

They have genuine weapons on all lines

Carlton would have to win it from 5th and I reckon we have them covered. Brisbane looks like it's a couple of levels above Carlton

 

[Matt_352]

No way do I want Blues to make GF. Don't know what I'd do if we lost to them (providing we make it).

 

[unplugged]

Not sure Port would be getting this far behind if it was an elimination final? Probably could've just went home not long after the half time break. Brisbane good but not this good.

 

[Didak Wine]

I see Carlton beating Melbourne, anyone else expect that?

This song is no 1 this week in Mt Isa

I'm not sure I want to play Brisbane if we make the granny

And with every reason, they’ve beaten us twice this year.

But it’s one day in September, gotta be there to win it.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Funny how 3 weeks ago Melbourne were flag favourites, now probably rank outsiders for flag..

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

I see Carlton beating Melbourne, anyone else

Personally no, think Carlton are just happy to be here this year.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I see Carlton beating Melbourne, anyone else expect that?

No

 

[danielnajdek]

The way they carried on last night I wouldn't be surprised if they have a shocker next week.

 

[3rdMan]

Tough away game, but this one solidifies Port as the worst of the top 4. Offence and defence a concern, won't have it easy against the Giants.

 

[Didak Wine]

They had Melbourne's measure a few weeks ago, I know thr trac goal stuff but they were chasing the game

i 've it to my sister as a love song for years....must be why charlie loves it too
