Banter Derby XLI - infiniteMasten draws ever near

[ImperialPurple]

Did I just read that in the presser yesterday RTB called the weags' midfield 'elite'?? "They've been together 3,4,5 years, which puts them in the 'elite' category."

Wot - is he having a larff? He's having a larff isn't he??

(Subtext : 5 years and that's the best they can do?? PMSL... How fix he keep a straight face???)

The old back handed complement, dashing any hope the eagles fans may have that there midfield is on the way up.

 

[ep2018]

Look at me.... I am the captain now.

Well * I'm an idiot. I meant Seppo haha

 

[RookiePick]

The best is reading them accuse Freo of being old while they are stacked with young talent. Well, back when both clubs hit the wall at the same time - Freo because a charlatan was in charge of the club, West Coast because of the fallout of their drug culture - the debate was which of each club's young talent would be better. And Eagles fans were eager to assert theirs was better. Which made sense, they had higher draft picks than Freo.

For example, number three draft pick Chris Masten, the inside midfielder, who won the contested ball and fed it out to lesser players in juniors. Or number seven draft pick, Rhys Palmer, who according to them was an outside runner who couldn't kick, and in juniors relied on being fed by their gun, Chris Masten. And even as Rhys steamrolled his way to the Rising Star, they contended that Masten would be the better player.

They can have all the Mastens they want now. Infinite Mastens.

We were right. The problem is Rhys Palmer set the bar so goddamn low

Some tough decisions this arvo for West Coast match committee having to omit 3 players from this star-studded bench:

• Jamie Bennell,
• Sam Butler,
• Brant Colledge,
• Liam Duggan,
• Josh Hill,
• Patrick McGinnity,
• Fraser McInnes

Bit harsh don't you think?? Duggan has played 1 game, Colledge 2 & McInnes 0, can't tar them with the Masten brush just yet.

Bennell is wearing Wirra's old number = guaranteed star!
Hill sometimes kicks a goal, also a star.
Butler = premiership player, therefore instantly better than your entire squad
Unless you want McGinnity at your mums house then I'd say it's in your best interests that he plays.

Thats seriously tough... i thought bennell showed a bit last year so he would be an in and has some pace... other than that... very average. Gosh i hope we thump them, in a dont take the foot of the gas kind of way!

...

Not really.

Bennell = skillful Masten
Butler = injury prone Masten
Duggan, Colledge, Mcinnes = future Mastens
Patrick McGinnity = not even fit to be called a Masten
Josh Hill = more Masten than Masten

Chris Masten = 2015 RG medalist!

 

[youmewe]

Chris Masten = 2015 RG medalist!

Only if the voting panel consists of his mother, grandmother and sister ... and I wouldn't count on his sister's vote either if she saw Fyfe's butt last week (in the Geelong game of course).

 

[Tonga Bob]

Chris Masten = 2015 RG medalist!

Chris Masten = Nat Fyfe???

 

[13then7]

I see overall they a leading us 21 wins to 19. We are getting closer and by the end of this season we could be level pegging. Not bad considering all the success they have had , that by next year they will well and truly be our bunnies since we joined the AFL.

We were right. The problem is Rhys Palmer set the bar so goddamn low

He did have one of the very best debut seasons in the AFL. Our excitement was warranted

Masten is still trying to reach those heights yet your supporters still think he would talk into our midfield tomorrow.

 

[gaskin]

Anyone else hear Barich on SportFM this morning? Apparently Eagles have a good chance because they have had 2 days more break plus haven't had to travel. I chuckled.

Master troll as well as coach.

That idiot still has a job? Come on WA, wake up. The most useless media hack in Australia. Plus there was that little known steroid incident that saw him leave the AFL for the safer confines of the NRL at the time.

All jokes aside it is the one big advantage they have in this game.

 

[Kram]

Went to the footy years ago with this nutjob 'friend' that lived down the road from us for a Freo game, Barich was walking along the boundary. Half cut before the game has even started he leans over the fence about 4 metres away and absolutely screams "Hey BARRA, you FAT c***!!!" Kind of really embarrassing and funny at the same time.

He was an Eagles' supporter too

Is there any evidence that shows a 9 day break is better than 7?

 

[WCEprod]

It will be shown on Sunday

Goodness who is that don't even know! Looks like he needs to be sent back to the gym for a couple of years before playing AFL again.

He looks a dangerous type. That tape is a dead give away that he suffers from fist pump RSI, so he obviously celebrates a lot. It's hard to say whether or not he fist pumps on appropriate occasions though, rather than just when he ties his boot laces right first go.

You have to respect Ross the Boss you can't say he's a poor loser, He's a good loser especially in grand final games

Yes, the-bloke-West-Coast-picked-when-they-could-have-had-Fyfe is another Masten who will show us on Sunday just how much of a Masten he is.

Yeah, he doesn't get enough practice at losing to master the art of losing fully. I guess he won't learn much more about it this weekend either ...
