Most Hawks supporters I know are very very upset with any loss. They cry out for their achievements to be validated and anything that reflects poorly on their team is screamed down.
Oh the fun I had by linking the Hawks injection articles to work collegues during the height of the saga, and watch them rush to defend their team, reeling off stat after stat, accomplishment after accomplishment begging for approval, as if they were somehow dependent on it.

April 12th was a very good day.

...this, and, the fact that I've worked basically in their heartland since, you guessed it, August 2008...and yes. April 12 was a very good day indeed.

Scenario 1. (Dream scenario) Danger stays. Aish nominates crows as his club of choice. We trade lyons and sam shaw to carlton for yarran and fourth round pick. We give lions a first round pick for aish. We offer a lucrative offer to jake carlisle and he accepts. We trade jenkins and wright for him and a second round pick.
We gain: aish, carlisle and yarran. Another 2nd round pick, another 4th round pick.
We lose: 1st round pick, lyons, wright, jenkins, shaw, $$.



Adelaide supporters.
 
Here is the reply from another Adelaide supporter regarding the post above

Am I missing something about Carlisle? I definitely think he's good but unless he spent ample time in the backlines last year (which I'm not sure I can recall to any accurate degree), he only managed 27 goals for the year.

Melbourne got lucky in 2000 - Carlton was clearly the second best side in 2000.

Not really sure 'got lucky' is the right way to put it though. Carlton were clearly the second best side overall, but form wise they lost their rag near the end of the year.

Melbourne, by contrast, were beating everyone as the finals approached. Carlton also choked away their final against Melbourne.

I remember Brad Green and Cameron Bruce coming of age in that finals series. Sadly for Melbourne they pretty much plateaued very soon after. Both good players, but during that finals series I thought they had 2 guys that would tear the competition a new one for years to come.
 
I think Kentucky Fried Chicken just won this thread.

Is that Robbo? If so, nope.

I just like the fact said person had the nerve to imply Caro isn't a cheerleader for anyone in the industry. The more I ponder that, the more I am convinced it was a troll.

And the pink ones made by Bakers Delight do raise money for Breast Cancer research.
 
The robbo thread keeps on giving

OK, I'll bite for all the Essendon supporters laughing on the last page.

Who is Caro a spokesperson for? She certainly has barrows she likes to push - especially re James Hird and James Brayshaw.

But no-one can doubt that her opinions are her own - whereas Robbo is like the Chief PR Officer for the Bombers. Caro gives it to Richmond as much as anyone - probably moreso.

She might sometimes be a goose (and she is plenty of times). But she's an independent goose.

If you disagree, then tell me who she is in the tank for.
