Sicily absolutely r*ped by the Umps tonight. Been a long time since I felt the Umps influenced the result. Carlton got all the 50/50 free kicks. In saying that, the Blues played well, and their 6 wins / Ladder position, doesn't reflect how competitive they've been this year. Our Backline will be...
Smithy's kick looked to be instinctive, so I'm not going to bag him. Too many easy shots missed today. We aren't far off the mark with a bunch of kids playing. Pretty bullish about our future. Really proud of them.
The Team that wins the Premiership, should be rewarded with the No.1 Draft Pick the following year. It's about time success was rewarded, not failure!!!
According to our so-called experts in the Media, we're a "second tier" side who just had a bit of luck on the weekend, and fluked a GF, just like 2008.
F U to all you envious pricks that wanted to see us go down.
It wasn't a dig at Buddy at all. It was admiration for the guy who has stuck fat with a basket case for so long. OP is reading far too much into it.
For those that want to pot Franklin for leaving us. Remember one thing - he owes us nothing, has given us so many great memories, and the club...
I have to agree "mike91". We should be confident, but predicting a massive blowout is way over the top. Freo need to be highly respected. Any team that travels down to Geelong for a final and wins, is a serious contender.
To answer your question, the Hawks gave them a flogging early in the year, and that was coming off a really tough start to the season for us. Freo are a different team now though, but so are Hawthorn.
Should be a great contest.
Luke Breust - I'm a big fan, but mate you keep missing those CLUTCH goals that continually cost us. You're paid to kick them. Start kicking them when it matters. Lots of players really down tonight, so to get the win despite trying to kick ourselves out of it, is a real positive. We will WIN...
That CRAP is "cringeworthy". We have played like that all year, and still won. WTF is wrong with these journalists?? Apart from the Pies, Swans & Dons games, we haven't been anywhere near our best this year. That is yet to come. What will they say when we do actually peak?? A story for the sake...
Geelong will be a BRUTAL match. The WCE 6 days later on their turf. Tough ask, and I don't really hold much hope of winning either game.
It's just my opinion, you're welcome to disagree. Enjoy a DEMOCRACY whilst it lasts.
I think FREO is the only team we will beat.
Geelong continually bend us over, WCE should be too good in Perth, the Pies will tackle us after our trip to WA, Freo will continue to be our bitches, so 1-3 for mine.
As I said in my original post yesterday, the investigation concluded 5 months ago. No "real" evidence of "peformance enhancing " drug taking was found in any Australian code. I stand by my assumption that the whole thing is Political, and have seen or heard absolutely nothing to suggest otherwise.
If it is as you suggest, then why the "press conference"? Are they really serious about catching the crooks, now that they have alerted them.
Give me a break!!!
They have no PROOF, and have admitted that already.
All Clubs exploit the Rules / Laws / Boundaries. Do they break them, show me the proof. Don't come out and tell the world we have an endemic "performance enhancing" drug problem in Australian Sport, then when asked for PROOF, tell us you have...
The whole saga was a Political stunt designed to take the ALP off the front pages of every newspaper. The ACC concluded their investigations 5 months ago, and found "no" real evidence. I don't think we have anything to be concerned about, other than the game being tarnished by a self-serving...
The two highlighted words are my big concern. I would rather a Captain that takes the field most Games, than one who is compromised through lack of fitness / playing injured most of the time, because he feels obliged to play being the Captain. I believe Hodgey has played a lot of games when he...
