Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread 2024 Edition

[SuperSub17]

Reckon we want Sydney and essendon to win today.
Top two seems out of reach now. Best we can hope for is 3rd I reckon.

Prefer teams just above us lose.

Good coast and GWS losses were good for us. So far the round had been to our favour.

We need to win our own game of course.

Geez it’s hard to want anyone to win today’s two games. Especially tonight’s game! Would a draw be the best result?

Don’t reckon second is out of reach - especially if the Dons lose today. There are still 11 games to play and we have a return leg in a few weeks.

This is the type of season where you might be able to scrape into second with a relatively ordinary W-L, say 15-8, but you could feasibly miss the eight altogether with 13-10.



…in saying that, I still want Essendon to win by 100 points.

Just saw Sydney's 70 million dollar state of the art facilities on Fox. Who paid for it?
Hamish needs to cool his jets. Does he have some kind of financial investment in the Swans?
Apparently they are expecting a massive crowd of 42k according to a breathless Alistair Lynch.

FMD 70 million? No wonder it looked better then what we have.

I can’t do it. I can’t want Sydney to win. It’s just so icky.

It's better for us if they smash Cats.

Of course we also need to beat Dee's.

I know but I loathe them so much!

Also don’t want them having a home final against us if they finish first and us 4th.

I'd rather barrack for what's better for us now .. anything can happen between now & then.

Swans have been lucky with injury so far, as an example. We have the rest of the year for everyone to try & work out ways to beat them.

And if that all fails, let's aim for us to be 2nd. Or 3rd. Not 4th

...maybe Cats are showing us how to beat them at home

 

[NMBB]

Bit late now - thanks for that dear AFL

How much does a box of tissues cost on COLA?

 

[Kes1984]

Maybe they’re showing everyone how to beat them and they’ll drop off!

Can still here Rooey and Montagna whinging about Morabbin v the AIA centre on the 2010 documentary. FMD. Just hopeless, salty losers.

Not applying the same logic to you, however. COLA is real, and can GAGF.

Edit: Swans kick a regulation goal, crowd has NFI but makes too much noise anyway, and suddenly, we should just send the flag up there already!

Finally a throw paid.

 

[Kes1984]

Half way through second quarter and Sydney still goalless. Can’t say I’m not enjoying that

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Swans have started a few games slowly.

Are they coming back from a bye?

 

[Kes1984]

Yeah bye last week. They look like it too.

Funny thing Brisbane were much better this week post bye.

Sydney looking classic post bye though

 

[Greenaicos]

Soft free

Sorry for being off topic but how do I stop Swans threads being highlighted in my alerts?

I've been getting them too.

Uh oh.

Here they come.

Yeah, I'd like to know, too. I'm not interested in NRL threads, outside of Melbourne Storm...

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

I've been getting them too.

Yeah I’d prefer not to be reminded of their presence but can’t figure out why I’m getting them.

 

[Greenaicos]

Sydney player threw the ball up in the air at a ball up instead of to the umpire, no free?

 

[Jafo]

...maybe Cats are showing us how to beat them at home

Asked a Swans mate what was going on (aka the score) and he says every time Cats play Swans Scott drops back an extra player in defence and they get thrown coz Horse sticks to his system and doesn’t counter it.

Nah. He was practicing on becoming an Ump after footy life. They like that kind of stuff. Ask Rodan
