I thought this was very strange. You handle "bullies" on the field and then leave it at that. You don't make a song and dance about something that every AFL player should be capable of dealing with.
So because we didn't buy into some cheap, gimmicky name that their senile coach came up with...
In my opinion we're seen as a novelty, we're not hated by many because we've been consistent but rarely brilliant. We're likeable because we're not a threat and in the case of the most recent GF, most of our support seemed to be because everyone hates the arrogance of Hawthorn supporters.
Now...
In the long run, yes, but after 14 matches is it that bad if we don't compare him to the likes of Langer, Hayden etc?
Watson's average is 37 (yes I know he batted down the order) and Khawaja is praised quite a lot despite his highest score after 5 attempts being 37. I'm not taking a shot as...
Are they the happiest and most optimistic supporters post September/October? I'd say yes.
Suddenly the real stuff is over so the hot topics are drafting and youth, topics which Shitmound supporters are comfortable discussing because you can't really argue against speculation and potential until...
No no, I am not saying Walsh is even in the same stratosphere as the other two, but the deal will still bite the Saints on the arse big time!
Prepare to watch him humiliate the Saints in 2012, just as the Swans did twice in 2011. Thanks for another FF St. Failda, we'll be back in 7-8...
Ok, some might think I'm overreacting here but I seriously believe North has potentially the best young players in the league, at worst we're second behind Collingwood but they're carried by Swan and Pendlebury
These are the future guns I see leading us to our next flag and a little comment...
There is no doubt we missed out on the perfect chance to get an easier run to the final 4, but as it is we play India and if we're the real deal then we need to defeat the bigger teams anyway.
My view is that no one has been super impressive this World Cup and the Indians have had their...
As a Sydney supporter, I just can't get enough of owning those sorry Blues. As predictable as Sydney beating the cheats has become, it's always wrapped in a different package each year to keep things exciting.
Y'see, we never know how we're going to own them, we just know that it will happen...
Not the best time for a Swan to post here, I hope no one sees this as a troll because that's not my intention at all.
I only watch bits and pieces of West Coast games each week so I haven't been following Glass' form but I was surprised at how far off his game he was today. Is he playing with...

Don't mind the song, but wtf is he doing? Best part is between 2:50 and 3:00
Also, if there's another thread like this, inb4 "search function n00b"
Other contenders?
I had my computer repaired only a couple of months ago but for some reason the person who fixed it uninstalled Norton and now I have a whole bunch of viruses that seem to be eating away at my memory.
I don't want to pay to have it fixed again so I figured re-installing Windows would be my best...
Make no mistake, we miss him in the midfield and he was awesome there, but I just feel like he's a scarier proposition while roaming the HF area and he now comes with the added danger of scoring multiple goals.
To me it appeared he'd get frustrated in the middle, he's a demanding figure but...
11. West Coast 8W-14L, For/Against 1893/2029, 93.30%
12. Sydney 8W-14L, For/Against 1888/2027, 93.14%
That's madness, and don't forget the only encounter between these sides in 2009 was an absolute nailbiter. The popular opinion on BF is that the Eagles future is very bright and they're a...
I can accept finishing below WC as both our teams appear to be on a very similar path at the moment (Hopefully both peaking at the same time) but you've lumped us with that ****ing dreaded pick 6!
I hope you draft an absolute spud with pick 7 :D
On a more serious note, who do you think the...
Yeah, probably doesn't necessarily need its own thread, but I'm curious to see how many of you actually think the correct penalty was handed down.
I understand the frustration coming from Hawthorn supporters, but the game isn't dead and football still be your favourite sport next year. Looking...
In general I enjoy reading the MB, the discussion is okay and even a lot of the trolls are funny, but the sad part is I usually enjoy threads about Sydney much less because they always get infested with trolls and you just can't have any half-decent discussion. I'm sure that's the case with most...
Well, that's my opinion, anyway.
It all seems to be coming together for them, regardless of the result today or for the rest of the year, they're my pick for next year's premiership.
The forward line is so strong, and Hentschel can only improve after missing so much football. Vince and Otten...
Does anyone ever notice that people will wait until you give them feedback before giving you feedback, even if you're the buyer and have already paid, giving them no reason not to just leave you positive feedback instantly?
If I'm selling anything on eBay and the winning bidder has already...
I was pretty frustrated when I read that Sydney had picked up Shaw from Collingwood, expecting him to be a dud trade and add little to our current side. After watching all his games this year, I've changed my opinion.
There was talk of his high blunder rate, but so far his kicking has been...
I got the idea for this thread while watching Michael Clarke bat today, such is the purity of his batting. I think classic stroke play is a very underrated aspect of cricket, especially in an era where the plunderers get most of the credit.
I love to see the Haydens of the cricket world smash a...
After discussing this in no great detail with Romeo in the Boxing Day thread, i thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone else thinks of the standard of cricket around the world today, and i'm talking about the bowling in particular.
Why can't more cricket academies be put in place for...
Another classic case of the BBCI trying to bully the world into doing as they say.

Interesting that they think defeating England means they're better prepared than Australia. You know, with England being as good as the Australian outfit n all.
:rolleyes:
I personally don't care about a close test series, i want the...
