Crisis Meeting - TRANSCRIPT

[The Falcon Strike]

Quite possible the best post i've read on BigFooty

Absolute genius.

 

[StillCrowing]

Quality as always Carl.

 

[JP Sauce]

What bet?

Alright.

If Moran remains in the SANFL for the remainder of the season, I'll never say anything bad about Neil Craig again.

Are we going to attach any riders to this? Moran is still only 1-2 injuries away from being back in the team. I can't see the selectors playing him again voluntarily, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.

We'll only consider it a bet 'win' for me if Moran plays for the AFC and one or more of Walker, Maric, Jacobs, McKernan or Talia play SANFL that week. In other words, they choose to play Moran over someone else.

There we go.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Neil: Howdy fellas, beautiful day for it.

Bicks: Neil its pissing rain and about 5 degrees.

Neil: Oh, I thought they were spitting on me from the grandstand

Bicks: Put something warm on for god sake would ya

Neil: No no the cold keeps me alert, so that I can stay right on top of whats going on out on the ground.
Ok. Who are we playing?

Keep going please!

Carl, if you lose the bet with Vader do the transcripts stop as well?


Because I'm worried about it!

I had my fingers crossed

What bet?

Can't quite remember how it transpired but I suggested that we were picking teams on a weekly form basis with no plan and the McKernan-Moran shuffle over the last fortnight has been a waste of time.

Vader said that Moran's cards were now marked and he was gone for good, I suggested he was one good SANFL game away from getting a reprieve.

So... I basically bet him that Moran would get another chance.

If he doesn't and Neil comes to his senses and plays him in the SANFL for the remainder of the year like he should, I promised not to say anything negative about Neil again.

In hindsight, for a bet this is convoluted, complicated and quite boring. Not to mention difficult to explain. And also it assumes that Neil will keep the job for the rest of the season too.

 

[Slippery Pete]

You won't know the outcome of the bet until after the last game. So if Neil isn't there next year, you're home free. It might be a few days maximum that you need to hold out.

Can you do that?

I don't mind saying that this is the funniest team board on Big Footy.

When you're not winning games, the creativity flows endlessly.

 

[JP Sauce]

Fair chance he'll still be around the club though.

If they shoehorn him into another role I'm considering the bet as off!

 

[WALL-e]

Be more along the lines of:

Neil: Campo, what's our midfield set-up?

Campo: Silence.

20 minutes elapse..

Crowd Member: Put Danger in the middle you idiots!

Neil: Good idea, Campo. But I don't appreciate being called an idiot.

I agree, not only does each loss get us that little bit closer to some change (ie bye bye Papa bear) but the entertainment in this thread increases 10 fold.

I can't wait for:

"Inside the Equipment Shed - TRANSCRIPT"

First pre-season training of the summer. Stephen Trigg wanders over after training to have a chat to Neil Craig as he packs away the balls, bibs and cones.

Trigg: Neil, how's it going? Did you enjoy your break?

Craig: ...

Trigg: Come on Neil, no hard feelings mate.

Craig: ...

Mark Bickley, wearing a badge that reads "Deputy Equipment Manager" jogs over.

etc.

I almost hope he does stick around in some capacity, just for the laughs.

 

[ruscy002]

I have this image of him in a janitors closet/control center keeping an eye on proceedings, a bit like Willy in the Simpsons...

Off-field anyway...

Haha I had this in mind too. Craig sending out his guys (Bickley, Clarke and Camporeale, with Symes/Henderson working from within the team) to dig up dirt on the new coach.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Still think you've got a bugg in Triggy's office Carl, nobody hits so true.

Rooch stick to fair and unbiased reporting.

 

[lionel_luthor]

Ha Ha that was gold ...

Neil Craig seems to be the Sepp Blatter of the AFL, however the feeling over here in Vic is that he'll be gone sooner than you guys think.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Just looking through the list of posters on this particular page, it's a who's who of the perma bans in about 5 hours time.

 

[PrideOf]

Mark Bickley, wearing a badge that reads "Deputy Equipment Manager" jogs over.

I'd be hoping for Bicks to be wearing an "Assistant to the Equipment Manager" Dwight Schrute-style.

Pure gold. You have some talent as a writer Carl.

I don't know how you got a hold of my blueprint..

Is that really the feeling in Victoria? If you can find me a job I'm there buddy

You can join where I work. You need a high tolerance level like watching our footy team at the moment.
