Melbourne's talented youth

[.Shotties.]

You mean with the Demons having at least several thousand more members than Sydney, average crowds about 8,000 above the average for Swans matches, and the Swans posting losses while we're back in profit?

Why do you lie so much?

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

have received greater draft concessions aka priority picks than Sydney ever did.

Only if you subscribe to the Dubya School of Fuzzy Math...

Why can't I accept that our crowds are so far below the Demons' average?

Read it and weep!

And yes, you did post a loss over the last year, while we posted a profit. And from the most recent figures, we're ahead of your membership numbers by around 7000.

Melbourne. A club that tanks to get priority draft picks.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Sydney Swans: A club that had to be rebuilt from scratch by the AFL, and handed a Premiership as a gift, through massive draft concessions and ongoing salary cap privileges, because after 7 decades of abject failure, it's the only way they were ever going to win another one!

I like your hustle. However as this year isn't complete lets go back to the last few complete samples:
2009
Sydney: 30500
Melbourne: 2700
2008
Sydney: 31500
Melbourne: 28000
2007
Sydney:35000
Melbourne:29000

Look, I could go on but you'd really bite it here. Though I notice you only play one non-Victorian team at the G for the year so you may break a 5 year + duck.

And yes, you did post a loss over the last year, while we posted a profit.

Lol. Let's compare profit for the last decade. While we're here, did you ever find that source of yours that said Melbourne had more sponsors than Sydney and the highest sponsership in the league?

What draft concessions did the Swans get leading up to the 05 flag?

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

2009
Melbourne: 2700

Oi! I know it's a mundane detail, and this is the Bay, but something seems pretty wrong about that number

 

[.Shotties.]

The extra zero only gives it a touch more believability.

 

[tcwaters]

Richmond youngsters are certainly looking better.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Well they're certainly looking better than yours, at any rate - unfair to compare with us, since we're the ones who beat them

 

[tcwaters]

And ours beat yours... away

 

[richoatthedisco]

And Melbourne's best players when they beat us were Junior McDonald, Brad Green and Colin Sylvia playing his biannual blinder. And we've improved a lot since then.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Seriously, yeah, Richmond have certainly improved since then. More power to them.

Round 19 is shaping up to be a very interesting game, although I've still got to be confident about us in that matchup Richo. But you guys have come on well lately, no doubt...

 

[richoatthedisco]

One thing I can assure you Wonna is if we're on four wins at that stage we won't be 'experimenting' with players or barracking for the opposition. But we'll be well past four anyway. Bring it on.

 

[wonna]

Wait, am i missing something or is Casey in second spot on the VFL ladder only being kept out of first by percentage???

So if we are measuring talented youth on VFL affiliate form then we have the equal best in the AFL.

And as for Wonna I think I worked out who ate all the turtle pies.

 

[Hannabal]

Your point being ?

 

[richoatthedisco]

Your point being ?

I think it's obvious: your club is almost as disgraceful as Carlton, an affront to the meaning and spirit of sport and karma is going to arse-**** both of you.

You're too emotionally invested with clubs other than your own.

Enjoy our successes.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Hubris Hannabal, hubris. Even more despicable when your team has yet to achieve anything. I couldn't give a stuff about Melbourne Football Club, it's the integrity and spirit of the game I care about.

 

[Mofra]

Back on topic, the Bulldogs' youngsters certainly flogged the Demons young ones yesterday - even before we consider Libba & Wallis to be taken as father/son picks this year

WRONG! Your figures for our membership for 2009 are incorrect moron!

The MFC were 1 of 8 clubs that increased it's membership tally from 2008 and your pissy little club weren't 1 of them.

The Melbourne Football Club is delighted to announce that it has broken the Club’s all time membership record, with a total of 31,508 members signing up for the 2009 season.

The previous record was set in 2008, with 29,619 members.

Good for you, however the post was talking about average crowds.

None of our young guns played.

Scull, Trengove, Watts, Frawley, Gysberts, Blease, Jetta, Bail, Gawn,

Grimes, Morton, Pettard, Strauss, Tapscott. McKenzie

Jack Viney will eat them alive.

so how did you get cotchin deledio and martin on your list

i thought it was from finishing down the bottom of the ladder

2 finals appearances in 27 years and none on the horizon

pathetic club

 

[BACCS]

That's debatable. What we can be sure of is both teams have more talent than Adelaide.

HAHA, good one. O, you were serious?

Quiet, you.

Great performance by Willi yesterday. Matt Little beat us by 2 goals, facepalms all round.
