MFC Fans Only Non-Dees AFL discussion - 2014

[Captain Jack]

Yeah he was an absolute freak from the start, with that burst of pace no one could lay a finger on him.

I think he played one game in the WAFL, first round of his first year, and straight away it was "yep, he's ready to go." Had 30 and kicked 4 or something silly like that, and then he never played WAFL again.

Steven Segal would have found a pressure point.

I miss the characters of AFL

I miss the characters of AFL

Yes, but I don't miss Fevola.

 

[Topkent]

Yes, but I don't miss Fevola.

I do , who cares if the bloke was a peanut
Afl is supposed to be entertainment and he was nothing If not entertainment

People lap up actors when they play controversial characters but when a sportsmen is actually just a loose campaigner then he is a disgrace for the kids

 

[RandB]

Yes, but I don't miss Fevola.

A little off topic, when I saw that pointy metal thing on Gabi Grecko's finger at the Brownlow that other night I couldn't help but think of Fev and "pressure point".

Fair enough Nick, but I'd rather a larrikin than an outright campaigner when I want 'entertainment'.

I'd say this is actually on-topic for this tread.

haha true, didn't scroll up.

I tell you one thing , if Melbourne had a fevola in this era it would have been a shitload more entertaining

Carroll is the closest we've had (in dickhead stakes) in recent(ish) years

You watch the stk Mel 06 elimination final and his and gehrigs battle was awesome

The bear hug tackle when G Train tried to side step (and subsequently did his ankle) was epic

After a tense meeting on the eve of the grand final, involving Connors and Essendon list manager Rob Kerr, the prevailing view was the Ryder's old club would continue to play hard-ball at the trade table, having thrown up Ollie Wines and Chad Wingard as potential exchanges.

Essendon is actually amazing. I've been on the side of shutting up and giving their fans a break, but this truly is a self-destruct mission from top to bottom.

Hutchy on FC put it best "Essendon take list management issues so personally."

But it's not just that. Everything about the club is so sensitive and precious; when challenged, on anything, they usually come off looking belligerent and arrogant

It's pretty much a nu age WE ARE CARLTON - * the rest

 

[Benwah83]

Wingard or Wines??? Holy ****, Batman...

Was just about to say the same

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha



Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Overrating Ryder, just a touch

Essendon have always been notoriously s**t traders, but this is just laughable

 

[Viney]

Essendon has focused its blame on Ryder's management and Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority officials, whom it claims unnecessarily alarmed Ryder as to the potential effects of its drugs program on his unborn child.

Surprise, surprise

No blame for their actions?

 

[Dory_77]

Ridiculous from Essendon there. How they continue to refuse any responsibility is beyond me. Cronulla took a big hit, but the storm has basically passed over them now and they're getting their s**t back together. Essendon are trying to take everyone else down with them in their meltdown.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

I now officially hope Ryder leaves for nothing.

No need to be s**t blokes Essendon.

 

[schmuttt]

I still can't get over how brainwashed their supporters are. It'd be like all of us denying that we tanked.

 

[Topkent]

You know what I hate most

Essendon pump god knows what into players before having them investigated for years
One of there best ruck forwards tries to leave an essendon demands the house for him despite him being able to walk for nothing

Our best ruck forward suffers a terrible illness that the club supports with the greatest of care and love , let's him retire and continues to support him and he ends up shitting all over us

We should be getting the first round pick not injessendon

 

[youngbear]

We didn't tank, it was list management. They told us so...
