come on tiges :(

basic skill errors.

[Keyser Soze]

It's certainly ugly, but these kids are still throwing themselves into it.




Not watching the game, just following the score.

Would have to watch irreversible again to see a more savage buttfucking i'd imagine.

Not looking forward to the sequel next week when we venture over to Kardinia Park

[peternorth]

umm cant remember name but that chick commentator said gram "blocked" a kick.

i think she meant smother.

fuckin hell these umps are helping st kilda rape us.

[peternorth]

hope troy taylor can be another mo rioli instead of a lionel proctor

[peternorth]

fuck now the rapist is gonna score

[Keyser Soze]

Freo coming back with a late charge?

How bad is Hodge?

[Geelong_Sicko]

Carn Richmond, at least beat Carlton's score of last night! They were 12.7 (79). The Tiges are currently 12.6 (78). Close game!!:cool:

bawwwwwwwwwwww :(

When you have Dodd, Schammer and Murphy in the team it is always going to be ugly.

Grover trying to stand Buddy. No one to go with Rioli. No ruckman at all. No KPP up forward. Ruffles does a knee in the first quarter.

But yeah kids like son son Walters, Roberton, Bollenhagen and Crichton give me wood. Let alone the ones who are injured or "generally sore:D"

And they have shown courage in the contest and haven't given up. Even though the scoreline says otherwise.

And fuck all the dickheads on the main board who reckon that we are disrespecting the AFL brand and our own club.

They would do exactly the same.

[I Love The West Coast Eagles!]

How bad is Hodge?


Maybe medial or cartilage. Not ACL imo.

Still, not great for him and the Hawks.

[peternorth]

jack got the ian stewart medal!!!!! WIN!!!

montagna is gonna rape everything tonight. he mad

[Hugh Jorgen]

jack got the ian stewart medal!!!!! WIN!!!

montagna is gonna rape everything tonight. he mad

He won the battle of the Riewoldts, looks like he has the Coleman in the bag now.

Cousins reckons he is still a chance to play next week, probably should just play him on one leg just to give him a send off.

[Da Beast]

Beating Tigers by 21 is like a loss, Lolkilda :bogan:

[Hugh Jorgen]

We just did enough to win, the main thing is we got through without any injuries.

We'll need to improve for finals though.

[Geelong_Sicko]

Geelong v St Kilda is pretty much set in stone now. If it's anything like our last few games it will be a hell of a match.

Crows taking it right up to the Pies, should be in front by more.

Or my SC team. Although I guess everyone's got him anyway.

[Geelong_Sicko]

True, dat. You were behind for most of the night, so to win is a good effort I guess

[RohanCT]

You gain more out of a close win than a training drill. That was a perfect result for us.

Players won't get ahead of themselves, Geelong will be talked up in the media. Win, Win.

You strike me as a fool.

There is very little b/w Collingwood & Geelong. I'd have Geelong slight favorites.

We struggled in the Melbourne game. Should have lost it, showed character not to lose it. If you've ever participated in a game where little went right & you then cameback to fight it out & get a positive result, you would realize what intangables you gain out of it. Your response indicates you lack this feel.

After that, we went on to win 9 games on end.

50 down just inside the third quarter

[Rondo]

Jurrah MOTY, just pips Goddard's effort I reckon.

[HughDunit]

switch on ch 7 and if the score wasnt displayed i would know the bummers are getting flogged from listening to bruces voice. Fucken hell bruce dont call bummer games if you can't handle your side getting pumped.

Watson is half a tone better.

[RohanCT]

I haven't seen a better mark.

On Jack Watts too. lol

Jurrah's like the greediest player I've ever seen. I love it.

We lost at AAMI again, no surprises there.

I'd have to agree. Lineball though.

And if Jurrahs mark is the best you have ever seen, then maybe someone should watch more football.

He's more a Bombers supporter than Crows I think.

I'd have to agree. Lineball though.

Jurrah probably takes those marks every week, he has that freak spring that only the black fellas have. Similar to that mark Sampi took a few years ago.

Goddard's mark was technically better, timed his run and leap to perfection and was a classic high flyer. Reminiscent of the late great Trevor Barker.

Not much in it though, both were sensational marks.

Great point.:thumbsu:

Add to the fact that Goddard is also 30-40 kg's(?) heavier and hardly a spring heeled jack and the comparison gets clearer.

Both were, indeed, great marks, but hardly the greatest ever.

[Hugh Jorgen]

I've seen Goddard take a few high flyers, especially in his early days. Has a good leap on him for a white boy.

I think the main reason he took that mark yesterday was that Jack Riewoldt told him he was going to take mark of the year on him when he was filling the hole in front of him in defence. Goddard thought he'd just show him how it was done.:D

[Da Beast]

He's more a Bombers supporter than Crows I think.

Obviously he is bi in all aspects of life :bogan:

Speaking of great grabs, this guy took his fair share of them, i couldnt believe when Morcroft pipped him for MOTY

[Mancey]

Yeah just a hammy stretch. Came off with tightness straight away.

Probably rate Jurrahs just ahead, simply because he took it on Watts' head, so good for comedic value

[crackers57]

See Matthew "Einstein" Lloyd gave out the "Robert Klomp Award" on Saturday night.........the TV went to some Crow n00b who had 2 kicks and 3 handballs. I'll concede that he kept Harry O quiet and, although an importatnt player and all, he's certainly no GA Jnr.

[Lach72]

Hase :(

[thegrach]

He'd only be 27-8 wouldn't he Lach?

[I Love The West Coast Eagles!]

Indeed.

But he is leaving at the right time.

29 grachy

[Lach72]

29...knees and back of a 40 yeard old though.

Good, smart player...

[HughDunit]

Rhyce Shaw.

It occured to me on the weekend that Paul Roos has turned Mr Versatile into a tagger freeing kieren jack from being our primary tagger to our chief play maker with hanners.

Thank you Rhycey for sacrificing your game for the team. Since he has played major stopping roles on the oppositions playmaker we have found form again and we are finally seeing jack as the player we all knew he was rather than a tagger.

[HughDunit]

The husband of pia and one time graffiti artist Brad Miller has been delisted by the dees.

I am only mentioning it because he has the hottest wife in the AFL.

[thegrach]

I believe this is something we all agree on. Pia Miller unites TLC, who would have known.

[Rondo]

LOL @ Josh Hunt getting 2 weeks (down to 1) for a fucking tackle.

[thegrach]

Yep, pretty poor. Unless Etihad is the Matrix there is no way he is going to be able to stop him in mid air. Any word on jPod?

[Rondo]

Pods 3 down to 2, as expected. However it was classed as med impact, negligent, as opposed to low impact, reckless.

Reckon we should fight it to get it down to low impact, as it was about as low as those sort of hits and get, and Gibbs played it up a treat. Jumped straight to his feet.

[HughDunit]

I believe this is something we all agree on. Pia Miller unites TLC, who would have known.

In Chile pias are a dime a dozen. Chilean girls are fucken gorgeous..only problem a lot of them are short..and end up with big thighs and big arses.

[RohanCT]

LOL @ Josh Hunt getting 2 weeks (down to 1) for a fucking tackle.

No difference to Mumford's suspension.

[Rondo]

No difference to Mumford's suspension.
LOL'd then and LOL'ing now. Also Ablett hit his head on the ground, Waite didn't.

[thegrach]

Do you think that was the right decision?

[HughDunit]

No difference to Mumford's suspension.

a fucking joke.

But another week another baffling suspension, gets footy talking and people fired up. Come Friday all is forgotten and we start the same process of another week of pure shitness from the afl.

Repeat this 22 times a year.

All the for the price of a club membership. :thumbsu:

"Footy you're looking good"

I reckon you'd be mad to fight it. Two weeks for that is a pretty good result, misses the first final but you'll have him back for a prelim or GF if you make it.
If you challenge, lose and get the 3 weeks that would make it pretty hard for him to come back.

Anyway if anyone has a right to whinge about the MRP it's Saints supporters, that 9 week Baker suspension was the biggest fucking joke of all time.

[Geelong_Sicko]

^^ I agree, mate. Beyond a fucking joke...

[rick James]

Haha just reinforces my impression that the Melbourne team is full of wiggas.

Have seen Jamar, Beamer, Sylvia and Jones at multiple rap concerts. Usually wearing NBA singlets and bling.

Carolyn W was on The Offsiders on sunday. And she gave us a right royal serve.:mad:

Dumb bitch never once mentioned injuries, kids who have played every game this year, travel fatigue or 6 day turnarounds enforced by the AFL.

Like Harvey said, we aren't in this to please everybody else. So they can all go fuck themselves.

[HughDunit]

Mate we copped for flooding and for roosy daring to create a game plan which plays to the core strengths rather than weakness of the list. I mean how dare him not entertain the victorians. After all it's the obligation of the interstate sides to entertain the victorians.

We copped it for flooding and for playing a tough man on man style. It won us a flag BUT NO RESPECT but massive contempt. Ask any priktorian about our flag and most will say it was gifted to us by the AFL. WTF???

and if anything roosy should be crowned for it..and he is respected to a point...but as the morons in the media would say "if he was a coach of a victorian side he would have been knighted"

Freemantle has an obligation to it's members and fans. Not the arsehats in victoria. At the end of the day it's about winning a fucken flag and if the AFL hands them a shit sandwich well freo has every right to throw that shit sandwhich back at the afl in whichever way it sees fit.

An issue should be, why the fuck are freo fixtured to play a round 21 game in tassie? Why not make them fucken fly to auckland to promote the game!

Fucken corrupt organisation.

Yes flooding suits the SCG and the list
Is it pretty to watch ??? .....No
Does it attract people to want to watch the Swans???....Not really
Does it showcase what is great about the game????.......No
Did it win you games and keep the crowds happy in Syd?....Yes

We copped it for flooding and for playing a tough man on man style. It won us a flag BUT NO RESPECT but massive contempt.
Yes it did and plenty of respect

Ask any priktorian about our flag and most will say it was gifted to us by the AFL. WTF???
They might question the get out of Jail free to Barry

and if anything roosy should be crowned for it..and he is respected to a point...but as the morons in the media would say "if he was a coach of a victorian side he would have been knighted"
Yes,
but maybe lose supporter and sponsors and not attract new supporters.

None could have predicted they would make the finals based on previous form and what about Carlton.

[HughDunit]

Even though it's come back and bitten you on the arse a bit..i give you guys a fucken standing ovation for sticking it up the dumbcunts in melbourne.

I'm telling you if you guys ever when a flag don't expect any kind of respect your way. For years pre 2005 i thought winning a flag would put an end to the taunts, the stupidity and the lack of respect from the plethora of morons who call melbourne home.

Nope nothing.

It's become worst due to jealousy and it's been made clear to me that no interstate side will ever be respected in melbourne, the apparent home of football.

Hence why i hate so much. I really fucken hate priktoran football fans. I was so innocent and naive when i first moved to melbourne in regards to the priktorian fan. How times have changed.

When the likes of North die i for one will be dancing on their grave and sending them 12 red roses.

[Hugh Jorgen]

Add to that the last minute enforcement of a 6 day turnaround this week, despite us pleading for a bit of commonsense.

Nah fuck em, I applaud what we have done.:thumbsu:

Yeah the AFL should be the ones to blame, scheduling a 6 day break after a long flight like that. Don't blame Freo for doing what they did.

Meanwhile Collingwood get another 7 day break playing their 7th game in a row at the MCG. Yet their supporters will still tell you what a tough draw they have this year.

[HughDunit]

Yes flooding suits the SCG and the list
Is it pretty to watch ??? .....No
Does it showcase what is great about the game????.......No


As opposed to the cluster fuck of the hideous zone system which your coach implemented? If anything its had more of a fucken detrimental effect than flooding has.

But am i complaining? No. It won the hawks a flag and good on them.

[HughDunit]

Meanwhile Collingwood get another 7 day break playing their 7th game in a row at the MCG. Yet their supporters will still tell you what a tough draw they have this year.

It's pathetic. A draw shoudl be fair and not biased or based on how some shitty fucken poor club with a handful of supporters can maximise their revenue.

Collingwood should be fucken drawn to play at skilled regardless. I don't care of geelong requested the MCG because it makes perfect buisness sense. If thats the case then the AFL should come out and just admit it..rather than play charades and pour spin.

Collingwood havent played geelong at skilled since 1993..i mean fucken hell!

And when do they play in tassie???

This would be a fair draw.

week 1

Hawks vs Pies in tassie

week 2

Freo Vs Pies at subi

week 3

Blues Vs Pies at MCG

week 4

Pies Vs Lions at the gabba

I can see the faces of the pie fans now...the hun will call for a summit into why vic clubs get an unfair draw etc etc.

Lets see how well collingwood do after this type of draw. Not well i suspect..and with a limited interchange.

Collingwood would be hoovering over btm 4.

[Banana Republican]

As opposed to the cluster fuck of the hideous zone system which your coach implemented? If anything its had more of a fucken detrimental effect than flooding has.

But am i complaining? No. It won the hawks a flag and good on them.
It was fast moving and interesting to watch though
They actually didn't zone fuck the Cats for the flag just to get there

They played keepings off and attacked from rushed behinds for the flag

[HughDunit]

No it wasnt..it was annoying.

And it become worst becasue teams who havent got the personal to play that sort of footy have been trying it and it made footy become predicable stale
and boring.

And rushing behinds isnt a noble way to win a flag, yet nothing ever is mentioned about it.

Imagine had freo tried using this tactic to win a flag..as the guidos say "ohmygood"

[Banana Republican]

Not many flags are won by being noble
In the good old days you would try and cripple your opponent to win

Clever tactic we where the best in the league for scoring from a behind and exploited it(it was a legal tactic since the dawn of time)
Cats kicked a few points from being driven wide so it wasn't all our doing

[HughDunit]

At the end of the day a flag is won using methods within the rules to your clubs best advantage.

The point i am making is winning a flag should be respected.
If anything carlton and essendons flags in the 90s should have a huge * next to them. But it is not mentioned.

[Banana Republican]

that * could go alongside the Pies GF's in the 20s too

[RohanCT]

Collingwood would be hoovering over btm 4.

You do realize Collingwood have played the Top 4, 6 times this year.
The Top 8, 12 times.

The next club, Geelong, has only played the Top 4, 4 times.

Whinge, whinge, whinge.

[thegrach]

I reckon Freo did the right thing. They certainly will be the fresher team this week and should beat Carlton, have avoided 7-8 of their better players travelling and possibly being injured, etc. And I agree, the media have been on this like stink on shit for reasons that are beyond my comprehension, as there are certainly injuries and tiredness factors to consider.

The only down side is that some players play better when they have that continuity of playing and routine, and this may bite you on the arse this week, but I reckon if it was my team I would agree 100% with what they did.

[HughDunit]

You do realize Collingwood have played the Top 4, 6 times this year.
The Top 8, 12 times.

The next club, Geelong, has only played the Top 4, 4 times.

Whinge, whinge, whinge.

With a draw that suits them too a tee.

If Sydney only had to play in Sydney and the team had to travel 500 meters from their HQ to play every weekend i would expect them to have fresh legs each week abd be first as well! hahaha

You think that glorious and gifted player, Dane Swan, would be so fucken good if he had to travel every fucken 2nd week?

How about if Daney baby had to play a full qrt of footy..thats right not being interchanged every second minute? But you know what they gotta do what they gotta do to win a flag i suppose and if having the afl afford you so many luxaries, then so be it!

What an athlete dane is and a humanitarian too boot. I wonder how the victim of his bashing will feel when he has to hear his name every week if he wins the brownlow this year.

[RohanCT]

With a draw that suits them too a tee.

If Sydney only had to play in Sydney and the team had to travel 500 meters from their HQ to play every weekend

That has nothing to do with Collingwood & it's draw.

That is the AFL's issue having only 2 Stadiums in Victoria.

If Collingwood didn't play the amount of games they do at the MCG, Sydney & their interstate cousins would be unable to host finals interstate at varying stages in the finals. You need to go back to the books.

[HughDunit]

that * could go alongside the Pies GF's in the 20s too

Most of collingwoods flags up until their second last one in the 50s should have a huge * next to them.

As i am sure collingwood bent the rules back then to suit them as much as they could.

[HughDunit]

That has nothing to do with Collingwood & it's draw.

Bullshit. It's got everything to do with collingwood.

Eddie: Hiya Andy Ed 'ere, hows the missers? More importantly hows the draw looking for the pies..you know i hate shitsangas andy?
Andy: Don't worry Ed we only serve them to interstate sides
Eddie: Thats the way Andy, hey is there anything you want me to say on my radio show to stir up some footy talk mate? You know me, i talk and the people listen.
Andy: Let me talk to Aidz Ed and i'll get back to you mate.

Flatline was the biggest cover up of them all when shit was real for the eagles.

Bloody disgraceful how Tim Gepp lied and how Dalton got out the broom.

[Whacker]

I agree Hugh. Damn you Collingwood for having the largest supporter base and having fans actually show up to games. If Geelong wanted to play us at Skilled Stadium they would request it. But why the fuck would they want to fill out a 35,000 seat stadium when 85,000 will turn up at the MCG? Why the fuck would Hawthorn want to play us in Tassie in front of 15,000 people when they can get 65,000?

[Da Beast]

Yeah the AFL should be the ones to blame, scheduling a 6 day break after a long flight like that. Don't blame Freo for doing what they did.

Meanwhile Collingwood get another 7 day break playing their 7th game in a row at the MCG. Yet their supporters will still tell you what a tough draw they have this year.

You and Diego do nothing but whine, pathetic phaggots. Its our home ground ffs and we've had the second hardest draw behind the Bombers when you consider who we had to play twice this season.

By the way StRapeFlood plays 6 out of the last 7 games at Jihad, so shut it.

[HughDunit]

Having the largest supporter base is actually a bad indictment on the type of people in australia society tbh, thats another discussion really.

what fucken hard draw? Seriosly what fucken hard draw? You play a shitty fucken style that relies on HEAVY rotations which allows your players to be fresh, which is an added bonus when you only have to travel 500 meters down the fucken road in a comfy car no less after a game for recovery after a hard slog.

Oh thats a fucken hard draw. Yeah play the hard teams but have it easy when it comes to recovery.

So you played geelong a few times..ok play geelong and a few other top 4 teams and then have to travel by plane for a few hours which affords you a day behind recovery.

Not only that lets give them an extra day by playing every second week on a friday!

No wonder this collingwood side look so fresh and have limited injuries!

[Da Beast]

Like i said you are a pathetic phaggot.

[HughDunit]

Why because there is truth in what i say?

No Victorian team has a hard draw.

[Tommy Lasorda]

It does seem rather obvious that the effect of travel fatigue is lost on some of our Victorian cousins.

Ignorance. Victorians excel at it.

[Da Beast]

You are saying that our high rotations contribute to our easy draw, are you for real?

All Melbourne teams travel only 4/5 times this year, Melbourne travelled 3 times if i'm not wrong.

It's a fact that only Bombers had a harder draw than us.

[RohanCT]

The Collingwood whinging about our draw shows that Simpletons exist here.

In the 90's, the MCC had a contract with the AFL that had a stipulation that at least 1 PF be played at MCG & 1 final / per week regardless of who was playing. This saw the farce of West Coast hosting a final against Essendon at the MCG.

When Collingwood signed their deal with the MCC, the AFL asked the MCC if there was any way that they could get out of this contract. The MCC asked for hosting more Collingwood games & as a result, interstate clubs could rightfully host finals/PF's at their home ground. The idiots who whinge about our draw are so stupid they can't even take in this information.

It's a shame we can't play 22 Home & Away games in Sydney against Sydney. We wouldn't lose a game. Ditto for Adelaide at AAMI, ditto for Port Adelaide at AAMI, ditto for WC at Subiaco, etc, etc, you get the fcuking gist.

[HughDunit]

No i am saying that a combination of a skewed favourable draw and a game plan which is based around heavy rotations makes your recovery process so much easier than an interstate side.

Even Sydney have to come to melbourne a few days earlier to prepare..and its only a 45 minute flight. Flying prolongs recovery most times.

[Hugh Jorgen]

You and Diego do nothing but whine, pathetic phaggots. Its our home ground ffs and we've had the second hardest draw behind the Bombers when you consider who we had to play twice this season.

We're in Adelaide this week and still do our fair share of travel. Almost every year we travel to Perth and Adelaide twice, whereas the Pies would be lucky to go there once a year.

I understand that Collingwood gets so many MCG games due to their drawpower but it still gives you an armchair ride regardless of the opposition you play. The fact that the finals are mostly played at the MCG has to give you an advantage over teams that rarely play there.

[Da Beast]

It does seem rather obvious that the effect of travel fatigue is lost on some of our Victorian cousins.

When the interstate clubs were invited to join our competition they were well aware they'll have to travel a lot more than us.

Bitching and moaning wont help.

[rick James]

It does seem rather obvious that the effect of travel fatigue is lost on some of our Victorian cousins.

I don't disagree.

It's definitely a disadvantage for interstate teams.

Mind you, you also have a huge home ground advantage in nearly half your games, something that Victorian teams don't get to the same extent (Obviously teams like Melbourne and Collingwood play the MCG better, and the Saints and Doggies are much better at Etihad - but it also varies depending on who they're playing against).

I'd say the interstate teams in WA probably have it the worst, because of the two derbies, and the fact Subi is similar in size to the G.

The Adelaide teams are next off the rank because of their derbies, but AAMI gives them a great advantage against non-SA because of its awkward dimensions.

Sydney and Brisbane probably next, they don't have derbies, and gain a significant advantage playing at the Gabba/SCG respectively.

Likewise, out of all teams, I'd say Geelong have it the best because they get the combination of very little travel combined with a distinct home ground advantage. Dees and Pies don't have it as good as some people think, because the G is a ground that is a great leveler (nearly every good game in any given season is played at the G in my experience). But obviously the pies get a pretty decent draw as far as travel goes (but on the other hand, they're awesome playing interstate anyway).

There are definitely pros and cons to both sides. Sydney wouldn't have been as strong this past decade without the SCG, but they might have won more than one flag if they didn't have to travel so much. Probably why they seem to have such a mature team full of experienced bodies, because they can handle the travel a bit better.

[HughDunit]

blah fuckity blah

Hey Eddie..guess what i don't give a fuck.

Hows that grab you?

We played four interstate games this year too, by the way check our away record in the last 5 years.
Blame your club not us for choosing Jihad as your home ground.

[rick James]

All Melbourne teams travel only 4/5 times this year, Melbourne travelled 3 times if i'm not wrong.

Dees played Port in Darwin, Port in AAMI, Freo in Freo, Adelaide in Adelaide, Brisbane at the Gabba, Geelong in Geelong.

You can remove Geelong if you like (still a huge home ground advantage imo), still traveled 5 times. One of which was an agreement to play a home game interstate.

Let's be honest, this shit will always be a problem until the AFL either introduces a Home/Away structure each year, or a fair rotation basis year after year so that everyone plays everyone home and away in a two year span.

[Hugh Jorgen]

We hardly play at the SCG no more only a handful of games. We have to play on a cow paddock which is homebush, which takes a lot out of the players. All swans players have mentioned how they are sore after a game at homebush than when they play at the scg.

Then the week after we have to travel interstate, usually to brisbane or WA.

Smart AFL.

[RohanCT]

We're in Adelaide this week and still do our fair share of travel. Almost every year we travel to Perth and Adelaide twice, whereas the Pies would be lucky to go there once a year.

We haven't lost a game in Adelaide since 2006. In 2008, we played 3 games there & won them all.

It all balances out.

We haven't played Richmond twice in a year for 10 years. St. Kilda for example play them twice in a row for years on end.

[Da Beast]

rJ, Darwin was your home game.

[HughDunit]

I'm not fucken bitching and moaning at all.

But if you think that the current system is a level playing field then you have rocks in your head.

This week and last week is a classic case of this.

Hence our selection policy was basically a massive "up yours" to the AFL.

Geelong by about 150 this weekend.:thumbsu:

[rick James]

There are a lot of things that are uneven about the AFL though. The Draw is just one of them.

Reminds me of the way the ABA was run in the United States. Very amateur.

[HughDunit]

Why play at homebush then?

Because in 2003 we got 73k at a swans vs pies and the AFL was $educed into thinking this was a blockbuster game.

Since then the numbers have dropped dramatically but the AFL and the swans are locked into a contractual agreement until 2015.

Swans fans are maaad at this and have started voting with their feet..tats not our home ground. Also there is this mindset by dicky colless who insists that we need to cater for the 2 off fan, you know the type of fan who only goes to event games, rather than look after the hardcore 28k that has formed.

[Da Beast]

Da Beast, I mentioned that. It's still travel. It's a reflection of the hodgepodge manner in which the AFL goes about fixturing.
Thats actually a reflection that your club has sold that game for financial reasons.

Of course it's obvious that the draw is harder for the interstaters but it will remain an issue untill we play each other twice per year or as rJ was suggesting.
Just getting sick of the flack we cope, especially this year.
We are the biggest drawing club, our home ground is the G, every man and his dog wants to play us there.

So in hindsight - how much do you wish you'd taken Hardwick instead?

If I recall correctly (redundant question, I definitely DO recall correctly), Knights was given the job because he believed he could win a flag with that team.

Hardwick was turned down because he wanted to rebuild, starting with trading away some old stalwarts that still had currency.

Imagine where Essendon would be right now had they taken Hardwick instead...

That is the big question. He has been good for us so far (by no means getting ahead of myself) as he come in, told the club how it was and how he wants to fix it and they accepted this. I think one of the issues at Essendon is that they have stupidly high expectations of their list and when they get let down by the players the coach cops it in the rear.

Essendon's biggest issue is that there is a culture at that club of not spending coin. They still have a culture from the 40's of stockpiling cash & are tighter than a fishes arse. I've been told that Hird was signed, seal & delievered last week but was asking for as much as Malthouse. Only a matter of time.

Yeah, good point, but we played finals last year*. Expectations were high based on last year's performance. Plus, as rJ reminded everyone, Knights himself talked up these high expectations when going for the job.

Injuries to key players haven't helped, but when the coach overlooks players such as Howlett (early on) and Houli for speds like Hank Slattery and Dyson

Essendon's conservative culture stems back to it's Church of England roots. They have clash to splash, enough to fund the buyout of the bowls club or even fund a new facility at Essendon Airport. Instead they won't move unless the Govt. funds it.

They make the copious amount of Saint Kilda fans who are jewish & live in Caulfield & it's surrounds seem like big spenders.

Paul Bevan, Sydney Swans, has been charged with a level one engaging in rough conduct offence against Ryan Griffen, Western Bulldogs, during the second quarter of the round 21 match between the Sydney Swans and the Western Bulldogs, played at the SCG on Saturday August 21, 2010.

In summary, due to a five-year good record he can accept a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record with an early plea.

The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of three activation points, resulting in a classification of a level one offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, reducing the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record.

a massive WTF!!1111!!!


i saw the tackle and it was a beautufl perfect tackle..and this..


really..

Just on the Freo thingy - I have no issue with what they've done. It might fuck them up, but not doing it probably would have anyway. They just should have 'hidden' it a little better rather than saying every player is out with soreness - that just didn't help at all. Could have said a few minor injuries like 'corked thigh' or 'calf' or 'groin' or whatever- it wouldn't have drawn as much attention. The 'controversy' (media beat up) won't help them either - distracting.

[Doyouwantmore]

Fucking LOL at that bookie wanting an enquiry into Freo resting a bunch of players. Boo hoo you had a loss, not Freo's problem. The AFL doesn't exist to facilitate a betting market, betting is a secondary aspect that individuals can choose to partake in if they wish. And as a provider of that industry you've just got to play with the cards you've been dealt. Toughen up, nobody cares if you lost money because no doubt you make a killing off poor addicted sods every other week.

would laugh harder if Malthouse picked Wood to replace him .

This just sjows how lax we have become as a society when it comes to gambling. It's so ingrained into society that we have cocky bookies coming out with shit like this fuckwit has today.

Glorify criminal behaviour, glorify alcoholism and gambling. Australia has a real tough battle ahead.

Lulz, to be honest i wouldn't be fussed either way as i don't believe in sentimentalities when it comes to footbal.
But it is a nothing game for us on the other hand.

ps. don't think Dids will play either.

[Tex21]

Collingwood havent played geelong at skilled since 1993..i mean fucken hell!

.
Um, Collingwood played us at least as recently as 1999 at KP. Was on footy flashbacks the night of the Coll/Geel game a couple of weeks ago.

[Mike Love]

yep last time was in 1999 , was at that game , we were shithouse (eventual spooners that season) but we took it up to the cats and lead all day, big Sav was on fire, until fucking Mensch sunk us with pretty much the last kick of the match .

They would have sacked Ayres on the spot if we'd have won that game .

sacked him not long after that anyway from memory .

I'd just like to say - the footy discussion on this board shits all over BF. :thumbsu:

Just on the Freo thingy - I have no issue with what they've done. It might fuck them up, but not doing it probably would have anyway. They just should have 'hidden' it a little better rather than saying every player is out with soreness - that just didn't help at all. Could have said a few minor injuries like 'corked thigh' or 'calf' or 'groin' or whatever- it wouldn't have drawn as much attention. The 'controversy' (media beat up) won't help them either - distracting.


Nah. It only seems to be an issue in the east, hardly sighted over here tbh.

So I can't see it as much of a distraction. If anything it could be seen as motivation.:)

i actually feel a bit sorry for Fraser TBH. Collingwood have run him into the ground since he was 18 and the poor bastard might miss a premiership because of it.

Biggest and quickest footballing backflip that I have ever seen.

Hopefully we smash them tonight and the results fall our way and they have to fly back next week and we smash them again.

Then the doggies you would think, and they aren't going too well.

And then a PF ....and that will be about that for us.

I think just about any non Collingwood supporter would love to see them knocked out in straight sets. You'd expect them to make a prelim at least though, can't see the Dogs knocking them off with all their injury woes.

Which WD hughy?

WD live TV or Live + ?

[HughDunit]

Live +

I use airport express in bridge mode and have all my main HDs on my main Airport Extreme Hub in the studio. Cause i only really have one usb port on the extreme i use another usb hub to bridge them all into one.

Then on the Live + I connect the express via ethernet which then connects to a.xtrme and presto web + media in the lounge room.

I been dreaming of this set up for a while and finally got around to doing it last month since the WD Live + went down in price at JB.

You can do all this in one small unit with apple tv..but fuck allowing apple to control what you watch and fuck ITUNES.

Ratten comes out on Wednesday(?) and bagged the living shit out of us for making 10 changes from last week.

Reckons that we are risking players form, and that you can't switch form on and off.

Then he pretty much implies that we are bringing the game into disrepute and are cheating scum.

Harvey basically tells him to get fucked.

Yesterday he is on the news and has a completely different demeanour and attitude.

The clincher was when he admitted that if he was in our position he would have done exactly the same thing.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Bring them back.

Actually bring anyone in the bottom 4 back.*

[Hugh Jorgen]

Well done to Freo for earning a home (grand) final.

Just a pity that the reward for winning it is to be smashed shitless by whoever loses one of the QFs.

They'd smash the shit out of you guys, Tarrant or no Tarrant.

Pretty fucked as well that the washed up spud who you guys did very well to turn into what you believe is the Hawthorn killer is fucking off in a couple of weeks. What will you have to take for him? Pick 26 or something??

Pretty fucking unfair but no one will give a fuck over east coz this is the first time it's ever happened to you guys....all the others have been self inflicted wounds so you were bound to cop one eventually. Shit happens! The key is, it doesn't hurt as much when you haven't mauled yourself constantly! :thumbsu:

We'll give you Simon Buckley and an assortment of touch up paint to cover the colour of all major makes of cars for Tarrant and another random homesick young player!

Deal?

[Mike Oxlong]

He has got presence and he fires up and has a go (according to the cockhead commentators:rolleyes: )

But I guess when you are led by a robot with the personality of the host of an English rose garden doco and a squib who lets guys playing in the B's root his missus, + you have a bunch of absolute fucking lightweights down back as well as a group of small fair weather forwards who completely go missing when they can't snap goals from the pocket like they are bare foot and back at Palmerstone, some ugly cuunt with a shaved ranga head who gets in the faces of the other team and runs around like he is Davey from Romper Stomper is quite appealing!

If you don't have any genuinely tough players in your team then you have to take what you can get and a loyal desperate dumb nutter fuck who'd strangle Jennie Pratt in bed at 3 in the morning if Ratts asked him to and then go back at 4 and fuck her lifeless body leaving ranga pubes everywhere, well he could be a handy option sometime!

Be it knocking cuunts out in a prelim if they ever get there, taking the rap for a quality players crime, or fulfilling Rebecca's Golden Shower/Scat/S&M fantasies whilst fingering Juddy's ass as he sips tea and reads the Fin review, there is always a roll for a dumb fuck like that!

[Mike Oxlong]

na, Gibbs's GF i think....might be bullshit but i remember hearing something about it.

Also heard Jennie likes to get Setantas little helpers around, dress em in Overalls and play Rich widowed Alabama Plantation owner from the 1930's! Mitch plays the retaareded Plantation owners son who's job is to whip the slaves if they don't please Momma enough!

It is quite sick and disturbing the things that go on at that club! Oh and don't doubt for a second she isn't running that club....and has been since well before Pratt died.

Almost Rick James quality Mikey. Almost;)

I bet that pipe got a work out last night:D

But to your post about us.

If we do draw Hawthorn then it will at Subi, which is a massive plus for us. Last night we showed glimpss of our early season form and, like I said before, just needed some polish on our goal kicking and link up play. Some of our stoppage work was beautiful, but just not consistenty enough. We also seemed to run out of legs in the last quarter which is understandable when you have a heap of kids and a fair few returning from injury.

Another week on the track for our returning players and we should be cherry ripe.

Tarrant won't play next weekend regardless. But then neither will Hodge so both teams are missing a key player. But I reckon that we can cover Taz better than the Hawks can cover Hodge.

I would be less confident of beating Hawthorn over, Sydney or the scum. But I never said that we couldn't beat them. As a matter of fact I reckon that we will/would.:thumbsu:

Tarrant is not guaranteed of leaving. But it doesn't look good I agree. But with Pavlich going on the vets list next season, we have a shit load more room in the cap and, I believe, can/have offered him a very, very sweet 2 yr deal.

Yet another case of a guy pandering to the wishes of his bitch!!

[Banana Republican]

Pretty sure its Hawks V Freo in Subi
I think Hodge will play (unless they think the plane trip will stuff him up)

Wont be as easy as in Tassie especially after the Pies today
and "if" they do win they will have to front up to Saints or Cats the following week
Tough

Re the bold bit, doesn't she know where the airport is?

I'd fuck her off and start hitting the untapped dockers supporters who've had very little to be star struck about over the last 15 years but now have a few candidates, Taz being right at the top of footy groupies lists :thumbsu:

Wonder what would happen if a coach said we have got 34 injuries this week, it's amazing, most of the list has severe soreness and I'm sorry but we can not field a team for the rd 22 Tassie game, so we forfeit!

What could they do? If you stuck to your guns and said they are all too sore to play, what could they realistically do?

They should have done that and had the week off! :thumbsu:
