Oppo Camp The non North football discussion thread II

[Heaps of fun]

My people are EXTREMELY unhappy with this development. Buckley is Melbournising Collingwood, shifting quality older players out so the stars of tomorrow can be fast-tracked... without the leadership and role modelling these guys provide. And Ball is adored, for lifting the side (with Jolly) from almost a to a flag, and just for the kind of player and man he is.

I think the difference is that Melbourne pushed out players that still had good footy left in them. Ball hasn't looked like himself this year.

Just waiting for Muttley to hit back with.....


Vaffanculo - don't use or goggle it

Indeed. Better to use the more polite formal version "vada affanculo".

Also the Zen Circus album "Andate Tutti Affanculo" is worth a listen if you have Rdio or Spotify.

Note to self, you won't last long calling hawks bandwagoners in the main board's thread.

Yet it's okay for regular s**t that gets dumped on us ... righto.

 

[Passmore]

All "Collingwood youngsters" are automatic hall of famers. The Collingwood love is nauseating.

 

[shinboner magic]

Can 7 piss Harley off next season- he is useless

 

[Passmore]

Is it just me or has the Collingwood "army" dissipated somewhat?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

For the second year in a row Collingwood are overwhelmed in the last H&A round. Just like last year they're saving their energy for the finals ..

o w8 ...

48,900 for a Friday night game with finals on the line. Wow, that is pissweak by Pies fans.

Reflected by the pissweak team.

They got more against us. 57,000 if I recall. Poultry effort.

 

[tazaa]

The game was played Sunday twilight.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I guess knowing finals is an improbability saps the motivation.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

My folks were there. They are close with a lot of diehards and some insiders, and came home saying the mood in their crowd is very dark against Buckley. They also noticed how thin the Collingwood crowd was and thought it was especially poor when everyone knew it was Ball's last game (and the way Buckley is going, who knows who else will be moved on).

I liked the Twitter comments about how Eddie would be complaining about the fixturing affecting the crowd again.

 

[Twinkletoes]

If Jon Ralph is correct (tautology alert) it was also Tyson Goldsack's final game for the Pies.

Yep, piss poor turnout if the member numbers of both clubs are to be believed (140k+ combined?).

 

[Black2Blue]

Yep. A chickenshit performance by Ed's mob.

Move over North Melbourne!

It seems she has found a new whipping boy.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Typical bully behaviour eh? Pick on the weakest (at the time) of the group. Thank God we're no longer as easy a target as we once were.

They lose Ball , goldsack and maxwell in one season = lost their heart and soul of the club.

We will smash them in the next few years.

Figjam has destroyed that club- we were lucky we didnt get him

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

My hammers are starting to buy a crap load of midfield quality, just need andy carroll to stay uninjured for six months, ha ha and we'll dominate.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I whinged before about NM getting sniped at in the GD forum but when we're playing well and our players aren't getting into trouble we usually aren't the butt of relevant jokes. Gotta do something about my inferiority complex.

Does this spell the end for Ballarat hopes, which I believe depended on a multi-sport facility involving Cricket Victoria?!

 

[Event Horizon]

Is it just me or has the Collingwood "army" dissipated somewhat?

People have short memories. They've been up for about 9 years and many ferals thought it's their god given right to be in the finals, and clubs who haven't had success during that time (which includes North) are irrelevant. But guess what? They've been crap in the past and they are crap again now - the wheel has come full circle. And the Collingwood army are somewhat shocked by this development. Suck on it!

I was there, in the mate's corporate box and was once again reminded by the amount of weird types that support Collingwood. Even on the boxes level where you would expect half civilized looking people, there were blokes in the lift who looked like they just injected on the way to the game.

It's been a heavy fall for Collingwood and one that will take some getting used to.

A fall is called when the fall has finished.

I like to say they have began their descent
