bt50 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) triple m said it was one of the worst first halves of the seasonI went. Game was utterly shit for three quarters. Terrific last quarter tho, even if it didn't go our way.Pretty good coaching performance from Beveridge I thought; choked the life out of North to take away their one on one advantage and backed their fitness to get them across the line. Like what I see from him as a coach. Edited August 29, 2015 by bt50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Here's the AFL hitting us all with some more political mumbo jumbo.Seriously, I'm all for gay rights and I'm all for indigenous rights but fuck off with this bullshit and keep politics separate from sport.You only need to go to local clubs and see what goes on for the reason they do things like this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its symbolism and its critical when you need to change attitudes toward homosexuals playing with heterosexuals. Rules and discipline wont do shit.

cadete Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 If its a WCE vs Freo Grand Final I dont think the Casino will be able to cope with the numbers of Cashed Up Bogans from Perth using the place for all their shopping, eating, drinking, gambling and everything else they do in Melbourne besides watch the match itself.

cadete Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) I just think the media focussed on Hawthorn's best (which of course was very good) and overlooked their inconsistency. Look if I could Hawthorn bash I would...It was simply the media assuming that the Hawks slow start was due knowing their abilities meant they could manage players and still enough games to combat their shorter off season which has been the case with both of their last two flags, and both of Geelong's flags in 2009 and 2011.Edit - I do concede however that reigning Melbourne based Premiers can be over hyped for whole seasons... Collingwood being the 2011 favourite right up until GF Eve in 2011 despite Geelong beating them both times that year (One of which was a thrashing and still did not remove the Pies as favourites in most of the media's books) was just plain stupidity.

Pete Heartspur Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 They did thump the Dockers (72) and Swans (89) in consecutive weeks though, and to then top it off (not that it means much) smashed Carlton by 138.

cadete Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 lolThat's my reaction to the Highlights Video of the 2011 GF when you see Cloke getting all up and about in the first half before Lonergan got moved on to him and put him to sleep.The point is if a Horse wins the Turnbull and the Caulfield Cup and then goes on to win the Melbourne Cup... the earlier victories in hindsight obviously were strong indications of where things where heading even if he wasn't the favourite for the race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
