Round 3:- Blues V Bombers pre match discussion

[parrot]

I... - if you actually watched the match, it was ....

I did, you fell apart in a screaming heap to a 2nd rate opposition and got thumped by 41 points. Do you need a link to the scoreboard? Hard to spin that any other way other than an embarrassment. Saying Port have 2, top-5 rucks is just plain silly.

 

[40yearBLUE]

You think we have no decent midfield prospects? You don't know what the word even means. Hawks key forwards won them the flag last year. Enough time wasted with you. You genuinely struggle intellectually. Nothing wrong with that. See you at the game tomorrow champ.

Mate like I have said to you and a number of your deluded mates, you are kidding yourself if you dont see that your list is piss poor. Your recruiters have failed you. You have relied on ageing talent for way too long. At least 3 of your team ought to have retired with Hird. Fletch, Lucas and Lloyd. And the rest of your list are fillers at best. Some are workers, I will give them that, but that just flatters you year in year out and you fail to recognise that they are not going to bring you a flag.

But you believe what you want about your list, just do it on your own board. If you come on here pretending you beleive you have a competetive list we are going to poke fun at you all day long. You and your list are a joke. Not even Thy is as funny as your belief you have what it takes.

OK, this Essendon supporter logic is just getting way too funny. So they have a great tap ruck, but he doesn’t get any taps. Do they also have a great goal kicker who doesn’t get any shots on goal? Or perhaps a great defender who can’t get to any contests? Or a fantastic midfielder who doesn’t get any possessions? What’s with these Essendon supporters. Just bizarre.

 

[The Dustbin]

Well you did. I mean it's like saying Eddie Betts is our "best tap ruckman" except that he doesn't get any taps. lol. This is just too funny.

You keep telling yourself that.

Good luck with the mighty Unlisted whoever they play.

Divers goal tally 2009 is

Divers goal tally 2009 is

Hillarious!!!

OK, I was wrong, you are funnier. But only just. These don jokers are a riot. I think we will have our 20th before they get 17.

 

[parrot]

Divers goal tally 2009 is

Yep. Will he ever be able to reproduce these 9.5 out of 10 efforts again?

Hard when your coach wants to hide you on the bench or wing.

 

[40yearBLUE]

He could swap notes with The Chiefs wife about technique! I think she would advise him he needs to keep his hands closer together and smile at the judges.

 

[Smyth94]

Just had a thought, why are we so worried about Hille in the forward line? If he sticks there it means Ryder is in the ruck - Kreuzer and Jacobs would smash him.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Gee you're massively underrating Ryder's ruckwork here.

He may give away a couple of cm's to Kreuzer and Jacobs but his leap completely nullifies this.

Besides, Hille is fit enough to ruck most of the time.

Yes you are massively under rating Ryders rucking. If he rucked against us he would lift his intensity by 50% and get 6 taps for the match.

 

[yibbida]

They have had 25 1st 2 round draft picks since 2000, we have had about 14.

Quality will always beat quantity...

It's a little like Carlton's 2009 premiership side, that's yet to win a premiership!

It's a good thing we've got an AA quality ruckman in Hille then eh?

Ryder won't have to ruck much of the match so it really isn't such a big issue.

Paddy will be spending most of his time either forward or back. Hopefully forward.

Who said that?? We're not deluded like you lot. Maybe the flag next year thanks...I;d settle for the top 8 this year ... whilst you;re languishing bottom 4 ha ha ha (I still remember you scumbags waving wooden spoons...) But nothing beats that 99 final .. swweeet

Nothing beats a loss?

And yibbida, how many number 1 picks have you had since 2000? Is it up to 3 or 4 now?

 

[RM_3]

32 pages of quarreling over nonsense is gay.

Can't we just all agree that Essendon will utterly smash Carlton on Saturday?



and no, I don't mean like 50 point smashing, more like 140000 point slaughter.

 

[krayfesh]

I also tipped Essendon for a 140000 point slaughter.

 

[yibbida]

Nothing beats a loss?

And yibbida, how many number 1 picks have you had since 2000? Is it up to 3 or 4 now?

Carlton has had 3 No. 1 Picks. All Champions.

Essendon has had 13 first round draft picks in last 9 years. Carlton has had 11.

So all this 'young talent' the bombers have should mean they are more advanced than us...

 

[blue_boys]

Just putting it out there but this thread over the last 5 or so pages is up there with the best ever on BF.... solid gold

 

[iRemember87]

For me this will be the first game i've attended in 2 years cause i'm living overseas and back for a quick holiday, so it'll be great to see this game and even better watch Carlton get the win.

To all you Essendon supporters on here boasting how good your team is, or how good you have been or how you have a better ruck division...all i'm hearing is blah blah blah, and i expect to see tomorrow night blah blah blah from your team.

You have nothing forward that can kick goals (yeah you have Lloyd and Lucas who should have retired) so where do the goals come from

Your full back is also too old and won't be able to keep up with Fev, so you'll probably need to put Ryder on him and play Fletcher half a kick in front, but over previous weeks both Richmond and Brisbane tried it and it didn't work, so good luck.

Your best player McVeigh is injured.

Jobe Watson can't kick.

So you are in serious trouble.

Blues easily and up by 8 goals at half time.

Of course your confused, you support Essendon.

Draft picks, number 1 - 10 it doesn't really matter the order as they are all hit an miss, but i guess we hit gold on all 3....can't say that about your top picks over the past few drafts.

Was it Dean Wallis in the prelim that tried to outrun Brown?? Please help!!

 

[Silvagnis]

Carlton use the history motive

"There's a little bit of that," Lappin said. "We've started with a couple of reasonable results, but we need to get this one."

"The Carlton-Essendon rivalry has been pretty big since that prelim final," he said.

"They (kicked) massive scores against us last year, but we've tightened up a few areas defensively. It's been a massive focus of ours, total team defence, so hopefully we're a bit better in that area this year."

Fantastic you finally get to see a game, BH. After all the quality stuff you have posted over the years I really hope the boys turn it on for you bigtime, mate.

 

[thylacine60]

Can't recall being 8 goals down at any stage during the 99 PF.

Finally we agree on something.
