Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread 2024 Edition

[Vicky Park]

An uplifting excerpt from the Dons autopsy thread.

"
...
Anyone else at give up point - be it with the team, the club, or the sport in general?

I’ve thought I’ve been there for a while - but I watch these games with no emotion. Theres just no enjoyment to be had.

We either don’t show up at all (see St Kilda game) or we do genuinely try but just our style, skills, ability looks embarrassing, and teams when they want to try just laugh at us.

Theres only so long you can give as a supporter. To those that say “You’re not a true fan if that’s your belief” id ease up. We have been incredibly loyal. I’d argue more loyal than anyone else. But there’s a limit. Theres more important things in life.

Let Essendon and Carlton suffer mediocrity for a few more years

Let Melbourne suffer purgatory permanently

My heart cries for Brad Scott. Fine fellow, along w' Chris.

They're two Ps in a pod, but the other letters are "-rick".

 

[JuniorB]

And 4 (so far) off Melbourne (cue - puke)

Plus the chance today to do the same to Brisbane.
Tailor made for Bobby to explode again.

My merriment might be reset abruptly at 4:35 PM but thank you for getting on this rollercoaster with me.

Essendon are so bad.How on earth did we only get two points from our two games with them this year?

What's that about every side playing their GF against us. Dons played out of their skin both times. They're a fcukin rabble. Scott is just their cashing cheques. The campaigner couldn't give a fcuk about the club.

I don’t usually subscribe to the conspiracy theories around Collingwood…but you are right about this. Teams always, ALWAYS, seem to get up for us. To play their best game in a while. To find some long lost form. To have a player you’ve never heard of kick goals. To have umpires introduce a new rule interpretation just to thwart us.

Ok, the umpire bit might be a conspiracy theory.

But it goes on and on, and it’s always been like this. Even Mr Park, who is not a Pies fan, agrees with this, with a smug look on his face.

Does Adams even make their finals team?

No, Papley in, Adams out.

He was bad last night and that missed goal was embarrassing. Someone should save that clip and whenever someone says "we miss Tay in our side", show them that clip.

He’s literally fighting it out with Corey Warner and Caiden Cleary atm. Tom Papley and Chad Warner are locks, Justin McInerney could be ready by mid-finals, so there MIGHT be a sub spot left.

Cleary was clearly better last night.

Cleary was clearly better last night.

So you are seeing Cleary

 

[JLC]

Surely Brad Scott is trolling the fan base - selecting Weideman in front of Heppell.

For an encore he should give Goldy a farewell game lol

 

[JuniorB]

So you are seeing Cleary

 

[Roverjg]

Does Adams even make their finals team?

Not on last night's game. I wonder if he regret's his move North?. He has had less games, less game time & his stats have fallen off a cliff this year. 45% less tackles, 50% less I50's, 50% less clearances; 66% less GA's. He would have had more midfield time for us this year which he has lacked in Sydney

And I’m very close to a Swans fan who’s furious that they drafted him, including for three years.

I like Adams. He was a warrior for us. I wish him no ill, and very much hope that his career doesn’t fade and decline in the dark recesses of Sydney’s VFL team. Would be an ignoble end to a very good career.

Why did he leave again?

You forgot Richmond. 555
All we need now is for Geelong to fall off that same cliff.

 

[stormskye]

Archie Roberts. Touted as a potential first or high second, bombers took him at 54. Seems they got a decent steal there

Richmond I can put up with - there's the Tom Hafey connection.

Geelong can GAGF

Agree. Tigers are a little like us. Working class club. I don't hate on them too much.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Giants have started well.

19-2.

 

[stormskye]

Hogans form reversal since joining GWS insane. Gone from a 20 goal forward to 50.

 

[SuperSub17]

Go Giants!!!
