Robert Harvey not damaging/match winner was my least favourite of the past.
These days, probably that Nick Dal Santo is soft.

-That Matthew Lloyd has only kicked so many goals because he dives and recieves soft free kicks. I'm not saying he has not dived, and he had a real patch a few years ago when he would not keep his feet. But anyone who keeps feeding this grossly overplayed myth is selling a champion short.
-Have heard a few people suggest that Buddy is a one season wonder. I think this will be disproven also.

Luke Ball is a gun.
He is a good average player, never has been and never will be anything more.

That every team wants 4 points every week. Particularly when they already have 16 and are looking at a pre-first-round priority pick.

Yeah I'm sure that's what it was
He leads the competition for effective disposals in front of Ablett, Selwood and Mitchell.. and none of this is any surprise to those that have been watching him for the last 3 years
No point arguing. Ignorance is bliss for people on BigFooty. Experts in the AFL, and former players view him as elite, yet some morons on here don't.
As far as I'm concerned, the views of these former AFL players and experts matter more, and they see Dane Swan as an elite AFL player.
He is not even that.Cant kick more than 40 metres,skills are ordinary and lacks pace.Will find it hard getting a game in the current Stkilda side

That any player "deserves" a Premiership (or Brownlow)
Noone deserves anything unless they're team plays and wins the GF.
Steven Bradbury didnt "deserve" his gold medal?
Everyone else fell over, except him. So he was the best, therefore he "deserved" it.
I say that cause Hawthorn being the "Bradbury Premiers" is bullshit.
They were the best team when it counted. So they deserved every bit of it.
Essendon supporters saying that Tayte Pears is a chance for the rising star. Daniel Rich is a mile ahead of him. And he's also leading the reverse Coleman. I think he is going to be a good player, and i realise he's better than most of Carltons young players. But come on.

Essendon supporters do have a habit of pumping up their own players a bit so i guess thats something youve got to get used to on these forums

Not sure if it counts as a myth but "Tanking doesn't happen".
And "no club has won a Premiership with a priority pick".
Joel Selwood gets alot of high tackles cos he goes in head first. He's a smart player and knows when to lower his body so the tackler gets him head high. Not ducking but bend the knees a little.

Winning the Brownlow Medal proves you are a great player... total myth.
Proves you had a good season.

That a loss for St Kilda before the finals will do them good.
Media are talking about it as if they should tank one game and that will drive them to a Premiership. If they put in 100% effort and lost, then that's a different story and would serve as a wake up call.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, more than likely it is a duck.

Tim Lane has any more credibility as a barracking commentator than Eddie did.
There isn't a kindergarten playground around somewhere with more original/inspiring thought in it than the likes of Bruce, Bob Walls, SOS and co. produce on TV every week.
Robert Walls isn't vindictive about teams that may have lost him money (pies GF team, 2003).
The rules committee doesn't feel compelled to justify their existence by continually tooling around with the rules in a way that closely resembles a group of hair splitting geriatrics disecting the most effective formula for laxatives.
There is a 'dropping the ball' rule.
The AFL is a well run, highly professional organisation that doesn't have more in common with The Office than is immediately obvious.

and in some cases (ie Goodes) that you don't have any eye catching teammates.
I suppose. Hall polled well in 2006 but Goodes does stand out in a workmen like team.

It's not a myth, but it annoys me when people refer to Geelong vs Hawthorn as a grand final rematch.
The 2008 grand final was not a draw and they have never replayed the match.

Not to mention we already played them in Round 1. How many 'rematches' can we play?

That St kilda should do well because of all their priority picks
Melbourne, West Coast, Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs and Freo have all had as many or more priority picks than St Kilda.

That Ablett gets half of his touches from 1-2 handballs every game.
new one for me, that playing on the MCG will make any significant difference to our form.

EPIC Failure, oh and one I can comfortably post for the pies is that "Cameron Wood has potential"!!
That one in every three Collingwood supporters has missing teeth. The real figure is 1 in 2.
That there are guernsey clashes among traditional clubs.
