Rumour Bluemour Discussion thread

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Anyway, Bluemour Discussion thread ... how did we even get on to past posters opinions on Mick Malthouse? This thread is the most elastic thread on BigFooty I feel.

Perhaps but given it was raised to champion him at the expense of many who are still here ....

In forum terms ... 'To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.'

Yes there was some 'baiting' factor in the reference and your response was spot on in context ODN.

Starchamber says hi.

Before my time - so every time I read a reference to Starchamber - I don't get it.

Starchamber says hi.

Not all new "random thoughts threads" is spuds.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Clearly not every player delisted is spuds, Wright and Gorringe can attest to that.

Wright more so than Gorringe.

Think of Windhover starting a new thread for every thought bubble he had, without coherence or punctuation.

Gorringe may well surprise you.

A 200cm guy who can kick as well as most on the list, has excellent close in handball skill, moves and picks up the ball like he's 180cm all while running +15km a game at an excellent clip.

In a game that had had max 90 rotations , a guy like this might come in handy.

I've really enjoyed gorringe's contributions the last couple of games. His first game was putrid but since then he hasn't put a foot wrong.
I actually prefer a Kreuzer Gorringe combo over a Phillips Kreuzer combo.

hang on.......

Poor form to speak badly about posters who aren't around anymore for whatever reason ?

Lets just leave the poor form up to Collingwood, Essendon & Richmond this season. Positive vibes in the Blues camp this year!

You clearly haven't witnessed my weekend undies........

 

[GHENGIS]

We were at risk of dropping under 45k , maybe worse.

Can you imagine what would have happened if we'd had another year of MM?

Gives me the shivers just thinking about it (THE HORROR!)

Oh geez. I said ... don't change your underwear until we lose, not until they're loose.

I think the Flight Centre's last trade mag posed the question 'Kinglake - the next Rotorua ... Who knew?'

 

[Blue Baggers]

Would love to see MM's carlton vs BB's carlton and that would then determine who is a better coach

I don't remember him preaching unconditional support of the club

i don't want to labor the point, but i spent some time digging up a few posts in the past 10 minutes or so. i probably remember his thoughts on being a supporter because i had discussions with him about 'we must support'. in many ways, some of what he liked to talk about would have gone down very well on the main board and generated a lot of discussion, but he was both afraid and disdainful of other teams supporters (or barrackers, as he would say).

Can't help but feel the pendulum has swung a little too far in favour of Gorringe and Sumner. Some promising signs, but I'm not quite on the wagon yet...as the empty shiraz bottle in front of me is testament to.

Really? Spending a heap of time digging up and linking old posts kinda has a laboring the point vibe about it.

Agreed, we're all on the same team here, no need for point scoring.

well... not to labor the point, but i meant 'labor the point' as in not to discuss that particular topic endlessly. looking up old posts for 10 minutes may involve some labor but it's not discussing it endlessly. i kind of hoped to just point out that he had in fact, preached endless support.

Moving on...

Yeah I wasn't a fan of Gorringe at all until the second half of Brisbane.

Excited to see if he can continue to pluck those grabs this week.

 

[CarltonFan]

Um, GWS have this thing called their academy, where they have a lot of players that are rated quite high. They need the picks to draft these players. The same as they did last year.

And they already have the picks, see previous trade period for more info.

He's hands are quite good, much better around the ground than Phillips but we all ready carry Kreuzer for that. Phillips is a better tap ruckman and our game depends on winning clearances and locking the opposition forward so I'd pick Phillips.

Sorry, that sort of talk is out of bounds.
