Is this the most pathetic excuse of the year? Bunch of brain less flogs. The filth is strong in this one....

OMG, he does know they are playing on grass and dirt doesn't he and not glass/metal and why didn't the Geelong players "fumble" if the ball got "greasy".

They know the ball is going to be slippery from all their excess oil, so naturally they apply a sticky substance to their hands.

6 wins 12 losses

Not great, but I imagine most teams would have a similar record over the last decade or so against them

That's much, much better than I thought it would be

That would only impact them if they laid a tackle surely

The players hit the ground all the time, you don't think the grease get rubbed off???

If Hawkins can turn his career around after a bad injury and play some of the best footy of his career at 32, why cant Tex? This is assuming our midfield makes improvements over the next couple of years, which I know is a big assumption.

Ban them when they lurk like then

 

[FAITH]

So we have 2 good years, need a rebuild.
Geelong have 15 great years in a row, no need for a rebuild.

 

[FAITH]

So Kenny what do you think of tonights performance?

 

[SugarShane]

And that is important as it means if they drop another one, they can lose top spot. This is when the pressure starts to build. As it is West Coast can catch them as can Brisbane as both only have 3 losses. Both of them have reasonable draws as well but Brisbane’s is more favourable.

They could already lose top spot this week if Brisbane beat North by around 10 goals.

15 great years in a row? Since their 2011 flag their finals record is horrid, something our supporters blast the Crows for. They have also been a middling team at times. Their best players are still those 30 and above (some reaching mid 30s), they absolutely need to win it either this year or next before the fall comes.

I’m not sure they’ve had 15 great years, 3 great years.

Because Tex has never been a good mark. The only way he would extend his career is if he became a strong marking full forward like Hawkins is. But he is too slow and can't put two arms up for a mark now.
Has shown no signs of making a remarkable recovery from his many ailments over past 3 years.

 

[GreyCrow]

I don't really like seeing Geelong win but I can tolerate this

Hass has ****ed him sadly. Ditto Sloane.

Thanks sounds good Drugs Are Bad Mackay?

I think Drakescoffeecake and I were bit peeved off last week, when they did this and its not the first time.

Its the first time however since I have been on Bigfooty where I tagged them. Glad they got pissed off. Wont do it again though as requested by you guys.

Yep, completely different sort of player. Hawkins has always been a marking beast.

Not only that, but I don't think Hawkins was mentally cooked at any point, more his body was letting him down

Hawkins has always been a great mark on the lead, just like Tex. Hawkins looked absolutely cooked at 30 years old too. Yes, Tex has never had the same contested marking ability, but I’m just saying you can’t completely write him off yet. Unfortunately, due to the dire state of our midfield it makes it more difficult to have a late career resurgence, but there is evidence that it can happen.

Do you think Tex is mentally cooked?

 

[marvin]

Why is it that Port seem to have won over the Vic media?

Because with their limited membership base, they are no danger of becoming a powerhouse club.

Tex is two years younger than Hawkins, we were all saying the same about Hawkins two years ago. Heck, some media people were calling for Hawkins to retire earlier this season!

 

[hey shorty]

Do you think Tex is mentally cooked?

Yes, the way the media have gone after him post 2017 has made it difficult for him.

Plus he's got chronic leg problems that have killed his game.
