Autopsy Sydney Swans beat Dogs 88 - 42

[The Inbetweener]

Would love to know the average number of dogs fans at a game only a few years ago. And the whole cola thing get over it, despite it being warranted because of the ridiculously high housing prices and majority of players originating from Victoria yet it's still being taken away on top of a trade ban given for no logical reason, not how you would treat your bitch. Not having a sook cause like I said I think dogs would have still won the grand final but find it funny that any of you would have a sook about the umpiring last night when it's been plain obvious that you have bee in given an easy ride for quite some time in that regard. Everyone including AFL and the umps fell for the inspiration behind your feel sorry of an unsuccessful club and rode it with you just like Leicester in the premier league, now you're going to fall back into the pack. The bevo era is never going to exist. Hopefully that gf keeps you all going for the next 65 years

So you want us to get over Cola, just like us telling you to get over the GF? Let me know when you can point out the difference

I'll make sure I let the AFL know to put an asterisk next to our GF win in the record books as apparently it means less than any of yours

 

[The Inbetweener]

It's simple logic. If the caps were equal the interstate clubs would have been non existent a long time ago. It equals out the advantage the vic clubs have when it comes to retaining players. What other strategy could you possibly introduce to replace it

Isn't that why you have an academy

 

[zyzzbruh]

Isn't that why you have an academy

which is probably why cola is being lifted. It was warranted whilst it existed

Did you take a breath while you typed so furiously.

White space is very important in getting your point across. Oh, there isn't a valid one, so sad.

Sorry for intruding and I'm not trying to be a smartarse but was Campbell fit this week? If so why did English play over him?

You say simple logic yet you don't draw any connections. Cola is for house pricing or the ability to retain players?

Nobody can figure out why English was played

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Yeah keep accepting mediocrity pal.

I'm assuming that's a joke post right? Or do you have significant comprehension issues?

 

[zyzzbruh]

If a fair chunk of the players wage is paying for the difference in house prices then it makes it more difficult to retain a player along with the fact of majority originating from Victoria. It solves both those issues

He's named for Footscray tonight and he isn't the answer.

English won't be ready for a few more years. Spent half his time on his knees searching for the ball at the bottom of packs and the rest wondering where he was supposed to be in our "structure".

Im long over the GF, now I'm telling you to get over the cola and last nights umpiring

I tell you what. I can't get over the grand final

I watched it yesterday and highlights over and over. And it's so good

 

[zyzzbruh]

Oh no how can we get over it when being ridiculed like this

 

[Outback Footy]

Meh. Shit game, not as much intensity as the sooks from the first whistle. They were hungry and out for blood. The umps have taken a hammering over a perceived "favouring" of us, so they made sure to turn it around last night, some seriously shit decisions which cost us momentum every time.

English isn't ready, Cloke is shot, they tagged JJ, Stringer etc out of the game

Hopefully this is his years version of what Geelong (and St Kilda?) did to us last year. bevo et al need to sit back and learn a lesson from this, we need to get hungry again, quickly.

But its not the end of the world, or the season, one shellacking, and to be honest we should have expected them to come out like that, so, Meh.

Now, Melbourne......

You come into this board that's what you'll be reminded of

the way your mob sook over everything
I don't have any sympathy

All interstate clubs face the issue of the majority of players being from Vic. I don't think the slight increase in house prices would make a difference to a player staying in Sydney or not. If it does then it must mean those clubs are shi*. Otherwise all players would be flocking to Perth for the cheap housing. You don't see American sports giving New York teams a higher salary cap due to the house prices there. It was just a pathetic means for the AFL to get the Sydney clubs up and about as that is crucial for them in order to bring in the $$$. no Sydney success means less $$$ in the coffers so they'll do everything they can to ensure they're successful.

This from a supporter of a club that had a drought of 72 years before 2005. Arrogant spoilt NSW team, what are you going to do now you have no more COLA!
You won a home and away game, not a final, not a grand final, hell you are still below us on the ladder, enjoy your victory.

 

[Super Hans]

I really wish our mods were more strict on oppo tools.

 

[jdz101]

Anyone else get a bit more appreciation for what Tom Boyd brings us as a ruck and a target last night after watching English and the corpse of Jordan Roughead get towelled up by a sub-par Sydney crew last night?

 

[The Inbetweener]

Im long over the GF, now I'm telling you to get over the cola and last nights umpiring

Given you mentioned the GF in your first post about it being the secondly biggest slight in the last decade I'd safely assume you aren't over it.

And you will note I haven't mentioned umpiring last night at all.

But keep trying.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Not highly regarded by many on here nor the coach I suspect

 

[The Original Swooper]

COLA. LOL. Like Players earning between 250k-1m pa are going to be sooo disadvantaged. What is the average Sydney household income ? Bet it's nowhere near the bottom end of AFL players wages. Pffffft

 

[McCraeBF]

Anyone else get a bit more appreciation for what Tom Boyd brings us as a ruck and a target last night after watching English and the corpse of Jarryd Roughead get towelled up by a sub-par Sydney crew last night?

He just has presence cant bye that

 

[dogwatch]

Naah, he hasn't been too bad and has not been overly personal. The odd skirmish is harmless.
However enough's enough. Let's not give him any more oxygen and he might take the hint.

If he doesn't, then we might need our mods to do what theirs would have done on the first post.
