Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread (2023)

At least Brisbane didn't get the training run West Coast did in 2018.

Weird how teams go from polar opposites from one quarter to another.
Brisbane were woeful and beaten up by Carlton in that first. Then it all just reverses in the second like a switch was flicked.

Carlton’s pressure was A1 in the first and their efficiency was bordering elite.

Brisbane were the beneficiaries of a team who had a very tough game against the D’s last week. The Blues spent their tickets and fought it out to the end.

Brisbane won’t have that luxury against us next week. We can bring 2 quarters of the pressure the Blues displayed. That could be the difference.

We have a very tough final on our hands, make no mistake. I still believe we will get over the line, but will need to play amazing footy.

… and we should give Cripps a break, he went in there battered. My favorite non Collingwood player, so maybe I’m being bias…

Only once we've won 17 flags

Nah, let’s get up next week and play them next year for a race to 17.

The bombers melts would be fu(k1ng hilarious.

Beef w Cripps is when he’s hurt omfg does everyone know about. Every season, some pain barrier he’s pushing through.

Almost all the other great players play through without the fanfare.

No! You should flog them next week. And I hope you do.
‘The AFL gives Brisbane too much help.

Your team played like nothing was at stake... GWS played their heart out and it showed at the end.... Carlton looked like they gave up after the 3rd.

If Pies gave up against GWS when they trailed by 17 points in the 3rd in such a long scoring match, then I would also be very disappointed but preliminaries are never guaranteed and playing Grand Finals is very difficult let alone winning won...special teams get to have their dynasties sure must perfect align with talent and competition level.

Nah, let’s get up next week and okay them next year for a race to 17.

My heart may give out if it were close.

Either way, I'll be happy with 16 in a week

 

[upnsmoke]

If you are humble you don't fear mockery

Nah, the cocky Pies fans give everyone else a bad name. I get being confident but it's different from being cocky and arrogant.

GWS stats in since Round 13 including the finals show they're elite.... to call them crap is rubbish.

Markov to Cameron
WHE to Coleman

IQ has Charlie for mine.
Bruzzy has Rayner.

Uncertain about the other match-ups.

 

[kalex6251]

rayners attack off the square at centre bounces was brutal when lions went on their 2nd quarter run ..... will need someone who can seriously muscle up to him

 

[Markfs]

evidently the bears have booked themselves into a big dance next weekend....probably with their fans providing the music.

Yep, I think Bruz.

Markov first crack at Cameron.

IQ on Bailey?

 

[Didak Wine]

That Coleman is a good player

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Quick,clean and composed. Started a lot of their chains. Need to make sure we don’t allow him that much time and space!

He had 6 possessions against Hawthorn at the MCG, let’s hope for a repeat.

Agree but tonight will give him a lot of confidence in a big game.

Bit more room to cover, and better small forwards to hold him accountable

“Curnow struggled in finals”

No he didn’t. It was finals. The umpires don’t pay as many free kicks.

Curnow had around 40 frees for the H&A season

Mihocek had just over 10

As soon as you took the umpires out of it in finals, they both ended up kicking about the same

Go figure

I feel like his goalkicking (and field-kicking, tbh) going from really good to pretty mediocre is not due to umpiring though.

Free kicks? They wouldn’t even pay Mihocek his marks!

 

[Apex36]

Let’s face it, the scum were never beating the Lions, regardless of the fast start. They Bradbury’d themselves to a prelim with both Sydney and Melbourne kicking themselves out of their wins respectively.

This result was inevitable. Hopefully next weeks outcome is in our favour.

 

[Matz]

Blues more focused on beating us in the granny they forgot they actually had to beat Brisbane first.

I hope he derails some Lions next Saturday.
