Will Failmantle EVER Win A 'Big' Game During Their Pathetic Existence?

[Adam Selwood]

Again on the weekend, the familiar 'Failmantle fail in a 'big' game' scenario was played out

This time they took on legitimate flag contender St. Kilda at home. Much like the earlier 'big' game this year against Collingwood, in traditional Failmantle fashion they layed an egg

Milney had a day out and unsurprisingly, the challenge of the big stage proved too much for Harvs, Pav and their bunch of choking spuds

I reflected back through their pathetic history and the closest they came to a big game win was their SINGLE finals win in history - Melbourne, Semi-Final 2006. Of course, beating Melbourne in a final is the equivalent to beating Australia in soccer - it means nothing


So this question needs answering...will Failmantle ever win a contest deemed as a 'big' game?

They definitely have one of the best groups of young players in the league but I think they are atleast another couple of years away from being a legitimate challenger. Atleast they are showing something this year.. Who would have ever predicted that they would be sitting outright 4th at this stage of the year.

Yea, beating The Feebles in a derrrrbbbiieee over and over again just isn't the same as it used to be.

Richmond beat the weagles on the weekend right? That was big

Yeh you are right. Derbies arent big games anymore with such shit opposition

 

[Igloo]

They beat Geelong in round 3. Pretty good for a crappy team of last year beating the reigning premiers

Adam, it appears your posting style is very similar to the way you play.....Angry, belligirent and just plain mediocre, cant comment on the whole kiddy-fiddler issue, speaking of which was that the last time you beat Fremantle??

Well, they usually win Derbies. But I agree, they're not really big games. Good thread.

Fair call

Ha ha, Wambat is at it again. The minnow metaphor is interesting. Breaks my heart to say it, but

Toast = Big fish, small pond
Collinwood = Big Fish, Big pond.


Hate to admit it, but Collingwood, despite being chokers and non competitors in multiple grand finals, are probaly the most influential sporting club in Australia. Wet Toast, being given 11 years to wrap up the West Australian market, made a complete meal of it and now have a following largely composed of sycophants, dilettantes and a few bay 13 bogans who don't realise how foolish they appear.

Oh, and to pre-empt the morons, Freo are also a big fish in a small pond
