Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[Truck25]

I've taught Cosi's kids tennis before at a School Holiday clinic I definitely had more issues with his wife, she was also arrogant and entitled even threw out "Do you know who my husband is?" Line

Sounds like they were made for each other

We don't get a lot of Marvel games these days either.

Prior to Gold Coast entering the competition I'm sure we used to get 6 or 7 a year, I'm sure it's us and the other non-Victorian clubs picking up those away games most years.

This year I think it's 3 or 4 games total.

I used to go to Melbourne 2 or 3 times a year to take in a number of games, obviously including one of ours, and it was great because I'd have half a dozen weekends to choose from so something would work with my schedule and there would be some other good games to choose from.

Now even pre-covid, there might be 1 or 2 weekends that fit with my schedule and maybe 1 of those weekends would have the other games I'd be interested in. I don't really bother.

With Port locking down Azac Day, it seemed like there was a time when we'd usually have a game in Melbourne that weekend. This year? Mars... I'm not Elon Musk, I have no interest going there.

we wanted to go to Melbourne for the weekend this year, only 2 games in Melbourne to choose from being and with the fixture not being set, it makes it harder to go

Yep, have found the same thing with the floating fixture. In principle I don't mind the idea, but when Essendon get 3 Friday night games in a row after their start what's the point?

I'd enjoy watching us play in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, wherever... But when we do travel interstate to watch a game it's as a "footy trip" so going to 3 or 4 games sort of makes it worthwhile, you don't get that outside of Melbourne.

Out of interest I also had a look at home many games Collingwood, Richmond, Carlton and Essendon have played at Geelong (you know, being a fair national comp and all where all teams get equal treatment) since 1993...Collingwood - 1; Essendon -1; Richmond - 13; Carlton - 5. Meanwhile, we have played 19....

You should have just replied with no

"Yeah, he's that fat doofus in the OTR ads."

- Speaking of which: I don't know much about him except for other people's opinions / stories, but just watching the OTR ads makes me cringe. OK, you're getting paid for it, OK, it's your schtik, but my god man, do you have no sense of dignity or self-respect?

Not sure they'll win regardless

Most of those are only fringe players anyway.

I’m sure they’ll get replaced by players who are worse. It’s not the AFC

Darcy, Chapman and Young are three pretty handy in's though.

The floating fixture makes planning footy trips next to impossible in advance.

My partner and I have booked a 4 day trip to Melbourne for the Hawthorn game. What are the odds the pricks at the AFL make it a Thursday night game

Don’t say that! I’ve done the exact same thing as you. I’m hoping Saturday arvo

Haha spent like 20 minutes reading that.
Seems like a bit of a prick that's for sure.

Wasn't there a Cosi VS Kane Cornes thing a while back though?
Which side do I pick now?

Hahaha, warms my heart when a cheap grifter gets called out.
A little bit of me dies each time I see a friend on social media suck up to his latest act of “altruism”…..just ignore the c***!

 

[Betts are off]

Only 22 available players at WCE. And against the red hot Lions at the Gabba...

This is gonna be a bloodbath. What's the odds of a 150 point margin? Cause i'm taking that action

UPDATE: COVID-hit Eagles down to 22 players, Simmo in protocols

West Coast could have as few as 20 AFL-listed players available for its clash against Brisbane on Saturday night

She drives that stupid car of theirs with the South Aussie with Cosi logos all over Adelaide and is always parking in disabled spots.

If this was Melbourne, Collingwood, Geelong (or any Victorian team), the games would be postponed. Absolutely no doubt in my mind.
