Noble is behind Markov. Maybe they're sad/mad that Markov ditched them in an instant.
It would have been an absolute travesty if a human that precious ended up at that shithole. The fact that he poked fun at the decision to choose us over those flogs makes him even more precious

Not only that, you have to develop them too. Look at Josh Daicos . Buckley absolutely butchered his development. Playing both Callum Brown and Tom Phillips ahead of him for years.
Josh didn't play in 2018 and Darcy Moore was overlooked by Bucks
 
This is such a glorious thread.

Here are a few receipts I've kept over the last two very entertaining years on reddit, a rich mine of salty goodness. I think it's fair game to provide links, since they're all on reddit and not bigfooty, and most are archived posts that can no longer even be commented on. But mods, just let me know if not.


The most pathetic attempted troll of all time backfires spectacularly:

za9tzyd5napb1.jpg


After the GWS prelim, a Bears fan was of the belief that "Mason Cox is a lucky man, he would have been dropped after that performance had McStay not been injured." Coxy went on to dominate the ruck and his immense Q4 helped the Pies over the line.

Of course, we all know that Nick Daicos is massively overrated, but did you know he's on par with Ziebell, Hall and Jake Lloyd? "Sometimes stats can be misleading, Collingwood just feed him the ball because he is a great user. Just like how north use Ziebell and hall in previous years. Same with Sydney and Jake Lloyd a couple years back."

Carlton fans are great. Apparently we had "the least convincing 10-win-streak team of all time" last season. I'm sure this year's premiership is, likewise, the least convincing premiership of all time.

Essendon fans are even better. They've forgotten what winning feels like so badly that they've invented the concept of
fake wins. "Winning close games is good, but winning only in close games, feels like fake wins".

And now, a couple of personal favourites. Late last year, a Melbourne supporter doubled down on Collingwood losing so many times - and got each prediction so wrong - that he threw a rage tanty and had his account suspended. In chronological order, so you can sense the desperation rising:


What made this all the more baffling was that he only commented on Collingwood games, and not his beloved Melbourne. Melbourne, meanwhile, pulled off the back-to-back straight sets exit, including infamous losses to Collingwood late last season and in this year's first final. This was clearly too much for old mate to handle, and he completely imploded and had his account suspended.


And finally, a very special poster on the r/AFL subreddit who religiously spammed the comment "regression is coming" after each narrow collingwood victory over the last two years. Like here, here, here, here, here, here, and a bunch more times I can't be bothered tracking down (just look at any collingwood match thread and you'll find him). But the coup de gras was his 2023 "tier list" of teams competing for the flag. True to form:

There you have it, folks. We're actively lying to ourselves.

And yes, that was very cathartic.
 
The Richmond board is a scorched Earth hellscape of psychosis and excrement. Here are some highlights.

Close games are not exciting. You heard it here first.

Asterisked because reasons.

It was a terrible GF played by two dogshit teams.

Mitchell with his 24 possessions, 10 contested possessions and 13 tackles did, in fact, play. Some put him up as a possible runner-up in the Norm Smith.

Having players in a team whose names are too difficult for Richmond supporters to spell, somehow invalidates a Premiership. Even if subjectively you don’t rate them… so what?

It is unfair that our coach had a birthday checks notes about a week ago.

Richmond supporters don’t rate Mason Cox, of all fanbases.

The best team of the H & A season continuing to be the best team for three more games is evidence not of causality, but corruption.

The Richmond board is unhinged in the way that they think the AFL is actively going against them with the umpiring.

Lol at the Richmond supporters complaining about our grand final.All of their grand finals were the biggest yawns in history.Can anyone remember anything about the grand finals they won?That’s how memorable they were.

Watched that GF against GWS for about 5 mins. That’s how shit that GF was.
 
Go and have a peek at the Scott Pendlebury thread on the main board. A bunch of people completely rewriting history. I am honestly questioning my reality reading through that dross.
