Surprisingly, Lindsay has him covered in every stat except handballs. Factoring in the 2 year age gap, my rather ridiculous statement is in fact not so silly after all. But hey, Zaha was good enough to be win your Best and Fairest last year so he must be better.

To be perfectly honest, I think we do hate Carlton a little more than they hate us. At least on BigFooty.

We're all pretty obsessed with our hatred of them.

Yeah true that. I reckon the Hawks hate us a little more than we hate them too.

Either way, in both cases the feeling is reciprocated.

Just watching the Blues last night with their colection of extremely punchable faces - I'd love to be playing them tomorrow.

North on the other hand, two days after we've played them i'll have forgotten about them; might as well be playing the Saints, Freo, Adelaide. Just another team.

Relax, Brother/Sister/Animal/Mineral.

It's just a game. The world isn't going to come to a complete stop.

**** off back to the banter thread. Every time I open this I am expecting to see someone talking about the game and it's just rubbish instead.

This is the shittiest argument I've ever seen.

We tried that but ended up hearing about how s**t we were and everything relies on Harvey.

First problem, you bright spark you, the quoted said Crameri, not Zaka. Get a little over excited, frothing at the mouth and just punch in a random Essendon player did we?

Second, Zaka averaged nearly ten possessions a game higher than Thomas, marks, goals tackels - everything of merit last year.

Did you seriously just try and do a career comparison with a guy that just moved into the midfield??

Christ you could have picked a better target than one that just blew Thomas out of the water - what an idiot!

Everyone hates Carlton. It's not really a new phenomenon.

 

[Kong]

I would honestly rather Australia lose both The Ashes and Border-Gavaskar trophies for 10 straight years than allow Carlton to win one premiership.

Live and learn.

Not sure if we'll do this (with North) again.

I suspect it's a Rd 1 phenomenon. Especially this year, which is the most hyped season I can ever remember. And I'm old enough to have witnessed four premierships each of North and Essendon.

Although it is hard to ignore the hate bouncing both ways.

Haha, so patronising.

"In contrast, Hird said the rivalry meant plenty in his playing days, when both were near the top of the ladder, but not so much now."

So he acknowledges the rivalry, he's just saying it hasn't been as good since he's played 'cause we've both been s**t (also probably 'cause you've been our bitch for a while now).

 

[Kong]

Which is pretty much what we've been telling you guys for years now.

Yes, we were rivals when we were both up and about, much as St Kilda and Collingwood were.

But we're not club rivals.

 

[bombermick]

Hirdy, the king of the mint-scented barb

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I don't think North realise that when we acknowledge a rivalry we're talking about the 90s when both teams meant business, not screwing them over in 4 BC or whenever it was.

Awesome that Hird has just basically called it what it is. A quaint little thing that is nice to see from a small club.

 

[lamaros]

Power, Brogan, Scully back next week, and Shiel and others with another run.

I think North are going to get done down in Hobart.

Most deluded post in entire thread. Come on now.

Perhaps Setanta too!

I found this is in the other thread but didn't want to reply to it there in case somebody took it as a troll.

Defenders beware, I strong advise not taking Hurleys space, or this will happen

What will happen? They will get crunched and go on to almost win the match for their team single-handedly thereafter, just as Hannebury did?

 

[fairdinkum]

That thread is worse

I see you guys carded the bloke who made the thread asking whether we had the 'pedigree' to win a flag.

Please tell me he didn't get carded for starting that thread. It wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Kong]

Sydney lost.

Despite Goodes starring.

Yeah, we won that match.

Anything else?
