Oppo Camp 2025 Other Games Rolling Thread

I’m not sure what that has to do with Sheezel not being respected as much by the oppo but ok

Its just jealousy with Nick plain and simple. That why they pick on his contested marking as a last resort

Nick and Harry can have the same game numbers wise. North lose but Harry is so good. Collingwood win but Nick is a soft cheapie chaser, Nick bad, Collingwood evil….

Well he is not going to say: “change the channel neutral fans, the game is over”

I'm not expecting him to say that. It just feels like he and Ch7 treat the viewers like we're idiots.

Read another article but only expands slightly on Jnr’s post but not imply what Hawks supposedly did regarding his Dad.

Apparently Hawks once had a no recruiting Indigenous players rule according to a Hawks mate. But that wouldn’t be impact on his Dad being there 1yr?

Perhaps it's because Hawks didn't play him & delisted him after a year?

Maybe. But sure more will come out in time.

Ken could win the flag and still get assassinated on the podium

they’d go for the opposition just to deny him a flag

“See, I ****n told ya we’d lose” “Good”

'Don't draft anyone with skin darker than mine': Explaining Hawthorn's messy past with Indigenous players

There are few Australian football clubs who could claim immunity from racially prejudiced pasts, but Hawthorn's history is scattered with dire examples of hurtful moments. Warning: This story contains racist images.

How’s Melbourne getting Richmond and West Coast back to back in round 7 and 8. We’d never get that

Melbourne might lose both anyway

Melbourne might lose both anyway

And that's why it makes it all worth it give them an easy fixture and still lose.

Like Blues. Their only 2 wins since August have been against the Eagles.

In news that will be of no endless pleasure for NMBB, Melbourne are now 1-10 over their last 11 going back to R19 last year

Thank you so much - my levels of pleasure and happiness exceed ecstasy by an astronomical measure

I want to see the Cats smash Hawthorn. Teach those little rodents a lesson.

****n hate them both with a passion so a draw with shitloads of suspensions and/or injuries will be my wish

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Cats destroy the Hawks but cop a couple of two week suspensions. Happy days.

I think they will. Scott will shut down their uncontested transition and make the Hawks have to go through contest to win and they're not built for that. I think Hawks are pretenders. Last year was their chance - before teams had worked out how to clamp them. (Could be wishful thinkiing on my behalf)

 

[NMBB]

...I think Hawks are pretenders...

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

As long as we beat Brisbane, the result of the Geelong Hawthorn game is a win for us no matter what really

Hawthorn win and we go 2 games clear in the Top 4

Geelong win and we're one game clear of 5th who will be coming into an easy part of their draw

I think they are too, especially without Day's powerful work in the midfield. They are a poor team at transitioning it from their back half, which I think in large part is due to their inability to win marking contests

They were awesome at it end of last year - they were spreading zones and kicking through or around them, but they're now a hunted team and teams will have worked out their outlets and how to clog them up.

They're going to have to stick with Sicily ahead of the ball I think, but that stops them kicking through teams as much as well.
