Swans, Crows not top two: Malthouse

[Sydney Bloods]

Couldnt agree more but i think you had your fair share of easy games anyway but as is always the case finals footy usually sorts the men from the boys and if the Crows lose tomorrow night they might just go down in history as the worst side ever to make the top 2 at theend of the home and away season

No I'm pretty sure the "unbackable" hawks loosing to the crows would have them go down as the worst top 2 side ever, think about it loosing to a team that all the flogs decree as not deserving a spot.

A team almost unilaterally believed to be head and shoulders above the entire comp and going down to a team there expected to walk over.

Only a team of absolute hacks could loose to the crows today!

 

[Rod Stroker]

Top 2 in season whereby youve had the easiest draw of all time. You couldnt beat Sydney in a home final and just struggled to beat 8th placed Freo at home last week. Not to mention the flogging Hawthorn are going to give you tomorrow night which will hardly be a finals campaign worthy of a top 2 side

Not correct.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

Didn't agree then and I don't agree now.

Hope Swans beat Hawthorn for the flag. BTW shit thread HAD.

Coming from a team whos most illustrious victory in recent memory was the "Kruzer cup" (and to win that you had to lose)......your theories of "easy draws" and "worst side ever to finish top 2" don't really hold much weight.

What's the point in bumping it just to prove you were right or someone else was wrong?

Um, yeah? Isn't that always the point of bumping a thread?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

The Swans have coughed up mega leads this year and fell over the line twice, they were not so lucky this time. They have failed at home against both Collingwood and Hawthorn, they are no finals threat.

This one was good too.

Would be ironic if it was Adelaide vs Sydney in the GF after Mick went on this little rant.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

I agreed with MM on both these terms, but Sydney's form has proven MM wrong (and myself ).

On the other hand... I think he will still remain right with Adelaide.

Mate, proving yourself right is one of life's great pleasures, right behind watching your team make grand finals.

Good call MM. Also good call going to Carlton. Both good calls.

Yogi bear is the ultimate troll. Stealing picnic baskets for a living. Legend IMO.

So you admit you are a troll? Cheers for clearing that up for everyone.

I never said that. I said Yogi bear was a troll. What is it with Adelaide residents and literacy problems?

To be fair to MM - he is a Victorian. Indeed, he is a Victorian media commentator. This means that he couldn't rate Sydney as top 2 because he wouldn;t have seen them all year.

This is why it is so tough for the poor Victorian commentators at the moment. Being basically ignorant of the Swans all year, they now have to brush up on all of these new name p[lus tell everyone that they really "respect the Bloods culture" and "that the Swans may be different to the 05 side". Humble pie tastes awful when it's stone cold.

Good call Malthouse, you stupid old git.

 

[Gongswan]

Mick is such a great judge of football, I can see why Carlton wanted him, more LOLZ to be had next yar

As a Victorian I'm going to have to disagree. However I will say most of the commentary team on Channel 7, Victorian or not, are complete morons. Darcey is a prime example. How he's on the AA selectors team is beyond me.

But let's not forget people like Paul Roos in the media though, who has an orgasm every time Sydney is mentioned. Works both ways.

MM is just old and senile. Who else would blatantly stab Ratten in the back and go to Carlton, besides a bitter old man trying to get 'revenge' on his old club? Him and Sheedy need to both stop eating solids and strap on their adult diapers.

 

[Mister Football]

I don't think MM was that wrong. Adelaide he is right about, and Sydney kicked on like nobody really expected them too (like myself, I thought we'd fade and have trouble at ANZ).

Underrating Sydney is a media-wide phenomenon.

FIFY.

And what may i ask has my team got to do with where Adelaide are at and the topic at hand. The fact that youve turned this into a my team v your team arguement just shows you cant construct reasonable arguement and continue to ignore the facts. Your team has had a soft draw and even with a home final in the first week were found out and will get found out again tonight against Hawthorn. 1 win against 8th placed Freo where you just got over the line and a finals exit tonight is hardly great form for a side who finished top 2 which backs up my theory that the Crows could well be one of the worst top 2 sides ever. If you can produce any other facts to prove my theory wrong other than have a go at Carlton to sidestep the issue then please do but i am guessing you cant as youve lost any credibility going by your last post

 

[Roby]

I think Ratten predicted that Sydney and Adelaide would be top 2.

 

[Blood Bath]

Malthouse ought to think before he opens his mouth next time.

It's not in his nature.

If Ratten had Mick's million years of coaching experience, he'd probably be better at it than Mick, MM is a tool
