Oppo Camp Essendon V Hawthorn banter thread (Round 18)

[pacman]

Game clear on top side won flag - 12 or 13 more scoring shots.
130+ point prelim win.
Business as usual.

pacman - we lost by a million points last week, you won by a million points, and you're still failing at this - miserably. Maybe footy banter is not your thing? Maybe try macrame, or local politics?

You never beat us all year until the big dance, I prefer crochet and pick up sticks

 

[apiro]

Terrific this game is at the dome.
We can (& will) fill it.
No Hawks.

Good one Slats!

I'm hoping the ushers let us in at half time though when all the bombers fans leave.

Right.

So if Collingwood win the flag this year, Carlton were actually the best team?

Interesting prospect!

 

[Jade]

sounds good. I'm am down like a clown! Ring you during the week?

You're going to stand me up?

Bitch.

 

[Jade]

Yet you have it on your avatar...

Does he? My eyes are constantly drawn to the horrible ****ing mullet.

 

[Thai Hawk]

Best team of the year is the premier, dingus.

Just who were the minor premiers, anyway?

Also, a Bradbury would indicate that they fell arse-backwards into it and couldn't back it up with performances in the following years. Like Hawthorn '08... prevented from even competing in the finals by a side that would 1 week later have Nathan Lovett-Murray and Cale Hooker on ruck duties. Wowser.

Using that theory, that would make the 2000 premiers overrated and lucky. Who won in 2001.

Greatest team of all time, ha. Not even of the team of the decade. Geelong supporters come up with the same rubbish now.

 

[Brown n Gold]

The only two I would place ahead of Fletcher are Richards and Taylor - And usually three talls are selected in defence.

Gibson is miles ahead, hasn't had a goal kicked on him in 8 weeks... in that time he's been a spoiling machine and has racked up 25+ touches a few times also.

 

[Brown n Gold]

Sucked in, all you Hawkers!
You're on a roll, just smashed one of the other chances, you're gunna win against a hated rival by a million points and NONE OF YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET A TICKET!!!
So - ha.
Ha ha.


Come back here and I'll gnaw your arms off...

Got my tickets, come at me on level 2 brah

Shite... with 40,000 bomber fans at the game, you guys will be BOOOOOing the house down!!

 

[Brown n Gold]

Might not watch the upset of round 18.

I don't think I can handle Bruce creaming himself every time Cyril gets one of his few overrated possessions. It's a worse obsession than he has for Judd. And he'll then take the entire commentary team along for the ride.

Will carve up the your mob, Hale and Cyril are starting to develop a very nice understanding at the centre clearances which results in Cyril giving a few Bomber mids wind burn before delivering deep inside 50m where Rough will maul Hooker..

You guys paid the umps already? It's a bit early to start predicting getting a favourable run but I have little to no doubt it'll happen to keep you in the hunt only to fall short by 3 goals.

I think making the Grand Final is a step up from MISSING THE FINALS ENTIRELY, but that could be crazy talk.

Nah bro... I'm just talking about the Stanton Boooooos

Look, Cyril will look very good and move well around the packs, possibly going near the ball sometimes too, causing Bruce to use such adjectives as "beautiful" and "special", possibly even both in one sentence. Don't feel bad though, he does the same with Betts as well.

As for Hale, Bellchambers will carve him a new one.

 

[Jade]

It's hilarious how similar this game is to the Carlton game.

They honestly think they are shit hot after knocking over Collingwood.........

 

[mainehawk]

love the banter thread...what a good idea. It's a shame that it will be all over for you guys at 1/4 time

 

[Pweter]

Nah bro... I'm just talking about the Stanton Boooooos

Yes, because everyone knows that a small section of the supporter base with the combined intellect of a dodo represents the entire supporter base.

At least that's what I hear every time I watch the Dons and Stanton gets the ball. Darcy seriously believes that small sample of supporters = the entire supporter base, and we all know he is a commentator of the highest calibre and integrity, therefore it has to be true.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Yep, it'll be nice to have put the opposition away at quarter time for only the 3rd time this year. Chance to put the feet up.

 

[Thai Hawk]

I think making the Grand Final is a step up from MISSING THE FINALS ENTIRELY, but that could be crazy talk.

Agreed, but was just referring to the fact that nobody wins a Grand Final by chance. To even make a GF you must be a good side.

Hopefully a good game this week, pity Buddy wont play. He drives you guys nuts. In my last workplace, this was called the scum game as both teams supporters referred to each other as scum. Will miss the crazy bets that went with it.

May I treat this thread like Bay 13 without getting banned?

 

[DapperDon]

Not likely Cameron Bruce and maybe Changa Bateman will be the only oldies to drop off the list.. plenty of young talent to keep us right at the pointy end for the next 4-5 years.

Hodges body can't withstand AFL anymore, Mitchell, Sewell are in the latter part of their careers. Buddy's body is starting to fail him. 4-5 months is my take, 4-5 years you'll be supporting a Tasmian team.

 

[DapperDon]

Gibson is miles ahead, hasn't had a goal kicked on him in 8 weeks... in that time he's been a spoiling machine and has racked up 25+ touches a few times also.

One needs a player for one to get goals kicked on them.

Gibson is just a glorified Harry O.

Then you are sure to be impressed by my witty repartee

Buddy's body has missed less games than Michael Gurley who has proven to be as fragile as "the weapon"'s contract...

 

[McDonalds]

Hawks have only played one game at Etihad against the dogs this year (which they won handily). I think the lack of etihad play might add a bit of spice to what Hawthorn supporters no doubt percieve to be a one sided contest.

No Franklin certainly helps us. I'd be curious to know who goes to Watson?
