Well done Jarka! Your boys were outplayed by a pretty tight outfit in Freo and for you to come on here and make a post like that is very noble. It's a pity some people can only see it from behind their black and white tainted glasses and have a dig, shows who the truly arrogant are if you ask me...
How the hell did you miss the fact that I said DON'T DO IT YOURSELF. What that means is you DON"T drop extra numbers behind the ball. How is that classic flooding? With what I'm talking about you keep your forward line structure, you don't cram the opposition forward line with 12 players and...
Have to admit Sir_Adrian that I've always felt the best way to counter the flood is to NOT do it yourself and move the ball quickly out of defence. Why don't teams move the ball quickly once they get hold of it in their defensive 50? They have no one to kick it too because they're all back in...
My head says Freo and West Coast confortably. Therefore I'm tipping Melbourne and Western Bulldogs in thrillers. Sad to see both WA teams go out in straight sets if it were to happen but ...
Tom Hafey at Collingwood in the late 70's early 80's (I think, I was only a little tacker when it happened) led the pies to 3 GF's and got the arse cuz they didn't win one. He wasn't the coach for the draw was he?
The ones that worry me are the South Africans. They hate Aussies (as do most other nations on earth in a sporting sense) and would love nothing more than to knock us off at our own game. They are also getting right into Aussie Rules at the moment so it will be interesting to see in years to come...
He certainly is one of a kind Beckers. As far as cricket being the most boring sport in the world... Baseball is definately more boring than cricket. My brother disagrees with me on this topic as he played AAA's for Penrith but let's face it, he's a bonehead;) . Having played both myself I...
1908... I have lived in both Sydney and Melbourne, the majority of people down here are willing to accept RL, the majority of people up there are not prepared to give AFL a chance. We didn't have RL down here because it was never promoted down here, not because we saw it as some sort of threat...
1908 My friend... I said I didn't know MUCH about RL. If I didn't say that then that's what I meant but you'll have to excuse me as it was about 3 in the morning when I typed that from memory. My point however was that while I didn't know much about the game I WAS OPEN MINDED about it, unlike...
Someone mentioned the arrogance of your average league supporter earlier and I have to admit that I was staggered by how threatened the majority of them are by the AFL. While I was living there I met a few that enjoyed both codes (as I do) and some of them even knew the rules of our homegrown...
Played against Craig O'Brien and Bernie Quinlans brother was my grade 4 teacher. Played cricket against Dermie where one of my club mates was a guy called Chris Broad who went on to smash us around the park opening the batting for England (87 Ashes series I think???). While I don't get to play...
Dear Santa.
Are you sure? It is a mighty big arse afterall. I suppose that comes with the pressure of holding up 15 other teams though.
All my love,
Timbothecat.
fwiw. I believe that while the Dockers may not have a guy called G. Ablett running around the park they are roughly as...
Hi.
I just wanted to write this to all the Dockers fans out there. As a Geelong supporter I witnessed our thumping at the hands of Essendon in the 1989 QF (60 odd points from memory). We were a side that hadn't had much finals experience and some of our players seemed overawed that first...
Spot on Catman. This is why we should have Chappy and Moons as co-captains next year. If they're going to carry handbags at least these blokes will stick some bricks in them! Time for the cats to throw off the soft tag and with these two "tough nuts" leading the way we'd at least be heading in...
Fixture. Yeah that sounds about right. And I thought we had problems at the top level in the WGCA!:confused:
We will never have a fair draw until such a time as we have 2 conferences in the AFL. It wouldn't take that much to work it out but it may have teething problems for a couple of years...
Spot on Waspy. Imagine the uproar had this happened to Eddiewood for example.:eek: :p
Does this mean that Essendon are no longer a league heavyweight? ;) :cool:
Round 1: Geelong v Brisbane SS
Round 2: Geelong v Kangaroos SS
Round 3: Geelong v Hawthorn SS
Doesn't matter wether or not supporters are getting too ahead of themselves. It's the playing and coaching staff that need to keep their attitudes in check, as the cats found out embarassingly...
That's why I rate the Crows so highly raikkonen. They aren't playing that flash at present but are doing enough to win/come close. I get the feeling that come the 1/2 way point they'll be flying and ready to peak at the pointy end of the season. Hopefully Geelong are priming themselves in much...
This week Essendon (4 day break) play Hawthorn (8 day break). WTF mate?:eek:
Then again when you look at Hawthorns draw throughout the year you can't really begrudge them this little piece of good fortune I suppose.
That would be while he was instrumental in setting up the Swans lead then? He did some real "Glass blowing" today :) and was definately in Sydney's best. While the effort put in by WC was great, to say that Glass was anything but ordinary is just... well, let's just say he struggled and leave...
You can't be serious. I watched my beloved cats lose by 6, 35, 86 and 65 pts over a 6 year period. Going by your theory I should have been almost happy with the 3rd one. The 65 points was on my Brothers wedding day so that was ok as we still had something to smile about. But you can't tell me...
Not a fan of the irritating little sod myself but to deny anyone a shot at the GF -let alone to hope they might get injured- is pretty much a low dogs act imho.
