Toast Whatever doesn't kill me will only make me stronger - THE KEEP YA CHIN UP EMPORIUM

[The old campaigner]

We softened up Hawthorn for Richmond.
North to get rolled next week.

 

[ShanDog]

Reckon Nick Graham will have a stellar 2016

 

[Jabba73]

The Aussie cricket team almost makes us look good.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

We were in the game with a chance with 10mins to go. That's gotta count for something.

 

[thylacine60]

If the 1982 Melbourne Cup had gone another 50 metres Kingston Town would have nailed Gurners Lane........

 

[ferrisb]

If we'd have played Hawthorn 5 times in round 17 and our score counted each time but just their first match did, we would have beaten them by 2 points

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Um...that's not really helping, ferrisb

 

[ferrisb]

Hmmmmmm, you're right MEB_. On reflection, that's not really the point of the thread. Totally didn't realise

OK, how about this? Boeky. Getting better by the week.

When he started, he looked like he had skills but was getting caught out by the pace, nerves, the occasion, fitness, je ne sais qoui.

Looked like he could be player if/when he adjusted to the game and started getting involved more.

Fast forward half a season and add in some development (VFL games, fitness, gameplan, coaching and more) and he is showing really good signs. Still more to go, but just the last few (3?) games he looks like he belongs. He is getting more of the ball, has great pace and looks likely to bob up for regular goals. And looks like there's plenty of upside still to come.

Good signs for an old-young kid.

Phew

 

[SBYM]

I had a good Sunday arvo at the pub...

 

[SBYM]

Whaddya you lot got against a killer strike from outside the box?

 

[ferrisb]

Got nothing against it, I just care more about a killer levi/Buckley goal from inside the square...

 

[SBYM]

How did I know it would be you?

 

[ferrisb]

You've got ESPN?

 

[ShanDog]

Only have to sit through 3 more humiliating losses!

 

[JamisonRun40]

We would of beaten Essendon by four pts today.

 

[ferrisb]

8 points.

BUT, there's a big difference between Adelaide and ****ing Brisbane....




Sorry, bad juju. I'll stop now.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Bad juju guys. Get your negativity to one of the 328 negative threads on the board and begone!

 

[Chism]

[RAPPA]

[AceAndy]

Good pick-up RAPPA

 

[BlueBelle]

Having first pick in the draft??

 

[The old campaigner]

Geez it's going to feel good when we start to win a few!

 

[Jabba73]

Only team in the league to have:
1. Beaten more teams above them on the ladder than below them
2. Not lost to a team below them on the ladder
3. 100% winning record overseas

We rock!!!
