Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread 2024 Edition

Our trades last year were all dumb. Or post premiership arrogance.

Giving away Ginni for nothing. Trading in an average-above average small forward in Schultz in an area we have an abundance of depth for our future first. And if the rationale was that a ready made Schultz would make a difference to our immediate premiership push, we should've kept our contracted VC Adams. Adams would actually be a difference maker in games for us especially now with our midfield decimated.

See your point but willing to bet Adams would be part of this attrition

 

[danielnajdek]

Well we are paying Grundy to make a difference for the Swans and Ads Treloar to get a million possies against us last night so what is new?

We also won a Premiership after making these moves so I don't get your point at all.

 

[danielnajdek]

They've gone too far the other way with holding the ball.

 

[anshell]

Just looked at the score.Why doesn’t Adelaide play like this when they play us?It seems that every team treats their games against us as a grand final.No wonder our players get tired from it all.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Not sure who's commenting on sen, but they just said Ginni really needs to concentrate on his footy & stop with the smart arse antics off the ball.

 

[danielnajdek]

Nice kick Ginnivan

Why was his team mate Day, “ripping” into him after the siren.

Was he?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Was he?

He burnt a few players and missed the goal earlier & Crows went on to kick 3 in a row...maybe that was why?

 

[slugger01]

Let’s go all the way, if it goes through the goals, regardless of who touched it last or how they touched it, it’s a goal.

Go further. Count it as a goal if it is an expected goal, whether it is a point, oof, or doesn’t make the distance.
The Dee’s for premiers!!!

Ok - but Day had 3 or 4 goes at Ginnivan so it must have been pretty bad

He has had some shocking kicks at goal

I wasn't watching, but the commentators on sen were going on & on about Ginni for a long time and said he's very lucky he kicked that last goal on the siren .. because Sam would not be happy with him.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Yep. The commentary was scathing of him on sen & not just about his misses.

It was bad including a jumper punch.

Maybe the Hawk's thread can provide some more insight...? He's been carrying on a bit, I think.

but the hawks forward structure allows him to be himself, not necessarily a good thing

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

..that will wear thin if he continually burns his team mates & shanks it deadset in front of goal

he’s good for the hawks for the now. He brings energy and gets the young guys in their side excited.

But eventually the hawks will out grow him, as they look to take the next step, they like everyone else will want forwards that apply pressure, and that’s just not him.

I saw it and I THINK he was just doing that as a celebration. I mean, it'd have to be. Otherwise wtaf

Carn Eagles. I want to get 1 tip right so far this weekend lol I probably could have, should have changed it when Waterman was out.. so took the risk lol

 

[Jen2310]

he’s good for the hawks now, not withstanding today’s poor showing apparently (I haven’t seen the game). He brings energy and gets the young guys in their side excited.

Nah he had a good game.
22 disposals. 2.3 goals (clearly had more opportunity to kick a few) and yeah there are question marks on him blazing away and kicking that goal when he could have looked more a closer option.
3 tackles. 5 marks. 9 score involvements. 489MG
Probably one of his more full rounded games in a while.

 

[danielnajdek]

He burnt his team mates twice by being selfish. I know some Pies fans still love Ginnivan and blow smoke up his arse no matter what.

 

[Jen2310]

Harley Reid just had a 13 disposal quarter...

He's now on 17 and 8 clearances at the half
