Could Geoff/BigLaz actually be Tom Baulch?

You’re close. I’m hearing it’s a bit of a collaborative effort from our friends at City Oval

Geoff/Big Laz knows too much about the history of the comp and it’s surrounds to be Baulch.

Poe's law applies to Big Larry. Sometimes it is so outrageous it has to be satirical, but there is just enough genuine content that it's hard to tell. Just enjoy it I reckon! Would be a good move by Prime either way. If exposure on different formats is the goal, exposure is what he is getting. Good or bad.

It would seem that Prime has certainly got what he's wanted out of the Rovers... has Prime made a positive contribution to the Rovers? I don't see him telling all his followers what a great football club it is so there's no publicity involved? Or was he sought purely for his football ability?

 

[MortlockWatcher]

Does anyone actually think that the Derailed Train will be at Rovers next year?

 

[damochandler]

He’ll try his hand at a metro club I reckon next year.

It was a bold move to get the guy, and looked to be working out ok for both parties in the beginning. Kicked 6 in the pre season match, but the cracks started surfacing when he didn’t get a kick for the first 6 weeks. The Rovers weren’t expecting a FILO type player when recruiting him, but they also weren’t expecting a twos player, I don’t think he’s up to the standard. O&M is tough footy but also slick, he wouldn’t be puffing that skinny little chest out against the likes of Yarrawonga if the film wasn’t rolling. You can’t win an O&M premiership with out complete buy in from every player. Rovers have the men to go all the way, IF played in their positions and honest with themselves.

Don’t the Rovers sit 4th

Losing the safety harness hurts but isn’t the be-all and end-all. You’d rather sit 4th or 5th with a healthy list then be clinging on to 3rd with half your side injured. People over look the impact of the footballing Gods, luck is vital, sometimes the stars align and you’re destined for success, nothing can change that. Why did Milne get a bad bounce? Maybe he was guilty; why didn’t Ablett senior win a cup? Maybe that helped him find God. All I’m saying is we hardly need a miracle, we need a few minor tweaks and the ball to bounce the right way. I’m quietly confident winners piss will be had.

You are next level mate, BigFooty was enjoyable before you jumped on board.

Yarrawonga vs the Magpies grand final for me

I’d put Albury above Wangaratta, I don’t think Wang will play off this year. Luck doesn’t seem to be on their side.

 

[BigLarry76]

Superstition is common in players, Buckley wore the same “lucky” jocks his entire career. I genuine believe there’s a lot of factors outside of your teams or coaches control playing a vital role. Anyone know of any local players superstitious routine? I played with a bloke who would have exactly 2 glasses of red the night before the game, refused to eat breakfast or food before the game, great player.

Maybe ,, agree the Tigers are right up there , but can they handle that 3 tall guns in the Pies forward line ,, same issue for Yarra

What was Karlos pregame routine?

Played with a bloke in QLD who would buy a cheeseburger on the way to the game each week and eat it at Halftime cold

It's a 3 horse race. Can we stop entertaining all this rovers rubbish.

Been like that for a while now, not good for the competition in my view

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

I'm expecting a few late night posts from Geoffrey, then no more haha, Wodonga look like winning, north albury win and rovers can miss the 5, imagine that

Well done Dogs. First time in the finals in 14 years. This is a big day for them. You’d now have to back them to win their first final too seeing as they will meet the Rovers again.

 

[MortlockWatcher]

Whoever is rostered on to act as Geoffrey will have a quiet week on here this week.

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

If rovers throw in the towel next week, and get pumped by Yarra, are north any chance of sneaking into finals in the last round if they defeat rovers?
