Sounds like you've been having a few rage wanks recently. Have fun watching your team get overtaken by more talented young squads next year."Fantasy" and "delusion" are two words that come to mind when your board has a thread dedicated to which side makes way for Collingwood in the eight next year. I've bookmarked that one, it will no doubt be a great read throughout the season. That thread already reeks of insecurity. It's all just hope that teams will slide and there's no belief from within. We may be optimistic, but at least we believe in our own ability. You are relying on other teams to fail or drop off because you know your current playing group isn't up to top eight standard. Your arrogance is such a front and you're fooling no one.
If Richmond have no hope of winning the premiership, I wonder what chance the side they obliterated by 90 odd points has. What an absolute piss take that day was. I'm pretty sure we had Steve Morris playing that game too, so you pretty much got b*tch slapped by a side who were fielding one less player
What the f*** is a Yarrin by the way? Did you mean Chris Yarran? I think he'll be a very good player for us, just like every other player that leaves Carlton and pursues their career elsewhere. He will give us some run and nice disposal off the backline and definitely fills a need. He's like Travis Varcoe just slightly better in every single way. I wouldn't say he's the missing piece but I'm glad we're recruiting players that address our weaknesses - it's a proven approach. We could throw significant overs at anyone who wants to walk through our doors, but you guys are proving that taking that route only contributes to a steady decline down to the bottom of the ladder.
There's a new precedent now set at Collingwood. Any money hungry talentless grub looking for a bigger pay slip knows the Pies will welcome them with open arms. And kudos to Jeremy "Highlight Reel" Howe for milking the shit out of it. The biggest fraud in the game has just used the Pies to bump up his wages. He now sits well entrenched into your starting 18 and you guys are talking finals. Oh dear.
I enjoy your overly active approach to trade week. You throw money at every flavour of the month and do whatever you can behind the scenes to get them across the line. Short-term gain for long-term pain. Anyone with a clue knows it just isn't sustainable. The crash and burn is inevitable, you're just prolonging it by paying overs for all your new recruits. It's only a matter of time before you lose guys like Sidebottom, Cloke and Reid.
The Pies remind me of Brisbane this time last year. The "trade week champions" who brought in an abundance of talent to fall short of the mark by some distance. I can sense a similar underwhelm in the upcoming season for the Pies, especially with an incompetent and tactically inept coach at the realm. Hopefully Bucks learns to deal with last quarter nine goal onslaughts over the summer, otherwise I can see guys like Tyrone Vickery turning your midfielders inside out again. He's not a coach's arseh*le and it's hilarious watching him drive your club into the ground.
Anyway, I just thought I'd drop in to say hello while you're all on your high horses after being crowned trade week winners. There's a little thing called the premiership season that starts in a few months, if you're all still around by then I'd love to touch base with you all. No doubt at that stage you'll already be looking forward to the next trade window. I hear Levi Casboult wants out and you guys need a new KPF. $1.8m for 3 years perhaps?
