Mega Thread Oh yeah ... did you know there are 17 other teams? - General AFL discussion #9 - Blues posters only

What rumour was that?
You're right, it is good news.

Damn my phones annoying auto-correct

But yes, Roughie's successful surgery is one bright light on an extremely dark day for footy.

Collingwood Board as the siren goes:

"Umpires cost us the game. 31 shots to 24 and poor accuracy didn't help".

Jesse White approves this post.

 

[The old campaigner]

Very classy by both teams post match tonight.

 

[ESKIE]

Post match, missed it?

 

[thylacine60]

coaches and players linked arms and ringed the centre circle for a minutes silence

Post match, missed it?

The 2 coaches brought both teams together into a big huddle and they observed their own moment of silence.

Solid act. A special moment in what is otherwise a ghastly day

 

[Jeremias]

Magnificent gesture from both clubs after the siren. Seriously wonderful stuff from Hawthorn and Collingwood.

Well done to both clubs and in particular to Al Clarkson for organizing that. Really moving.

 

[ESKIE]

Picked the pies pity they can't kick straight,dysfunctional

 

[JamisonRun40]

I picked the Hawks. I hope all teams observe a minutes silence either before or after their matches.

It's always goes a long way and is accepted with appreciation and great respect when ultimately for the greater of good, fierce competitors can unite for a brief period before going into battle, when not just the Adelaide Crows are in mourning bug the entire AFL community is saddened by the loss of Phil Walsh who was more than a coach, he was a leader of men, a mentor, a family man, and someone who affected many in a positive way helped make others around him that much better for having had the opportunity to either work or learn from him. Very classy from the Hawks and as much as I hate them Collingwood.

Hi, my name's Blue_Balls...and I'm addicted to Cripps gifs.

.... It's been 3 minutes since I last viewed them. ..

 

[Mister Carlton]

Haha.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Camporeale tipped to be named Crows interim coach.

Best of luck to Campo, there isn't any worse possible circumstances to get a senior coaching jon, going to be incredibly tough for him and the players for the rest of the season, I wish them well.

 

[Styxx]

Yeah Camporeale has been given the impossible task, Worsfold has come in as a coaching director.

Best of luck to them, Woosha was close to Walsh as well so I think he feels a sense of duty which is admirable.

 

[Zing1]

Very hard job to be given.
Best Of luck to Campo.

 

[LanceRomance]

how the hell did Shulz get off?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

inb4 "because he doesn't play for Carlton"

 

[MickyB]

how the hell did Shulz get off?

Unbelievable!! I thought it was about protecting his head, I missed the part where Schultz did that! WTF MRP

 

[Aphrodite]

He doesn't wear NAVY BLUE!


MEB_

 

[Blue Razor]

MRP is a joke same exact tackle arms pinned, body swung and head its the ground, player knocked out cant play.
Gibbs 2 weeks
Schultz nothing

[DaVillaBlues]

Ivan Maric was unlucky.

I can't work out the MRP, it really is a chook raffle, especially when you think Gibbs got more time off than The Bondi Millionaires.

Ah well, hopefully Gibbsy is refreshed after his break, might have been good for his body (did seem a little proppy the last month or so)

 

[TeeJay Blue]

I have noticed in recent years that the AFL sort of has a thing against Carlton. So I am not surpised with the treatment we are getting.

Hasn't anybody noticed that they change the bidding system for the father-son rule as soon as we have a few kids approaching this year's draft.
Rice, Silvagni, etc.

Absolute ******* joke! The MRP can get ****ed! Same tackle same outcome of bloke knocked out except our bloke cops 3 and Schultz walks free a ******* disgrace.

 

[thylacine60]

Haha.

Dick joke?
