We could have done none of that and still lost anyway, nice self pwn though, suggesting it's the reason you won
What, you think if a club has players who like to joke around and do media work, it can't be successful? What's been Adelaide's excuse for the past couple of decades because there certainly hasn't been any personality coming out of there?
Excuses. We lose after playing the Hawks. Who's clutching. Don't grab self pwn too early.We could have done none of that and still lost anyway, nice self pwn though, suggesting it's the reason you won
Clutching RM, clutching. Oh and BTW we usually lose after playing Hawthorn
I can't agree, mate. I'm so over the mono-syllabic "one week at a time" "yeah-nah" modern footballer - any departure from that is welcome for me. It's true that Paddy is a bit into himself, but he does speak intelligently, he does express strong personal views (relatively speaking). So all in all, he's more interesting to me than 99% of players. It's got to the point for me that whenever I watch any of the football shows and there is a guest player on, I just skip the whole segment. Player interviews are shockers these days. They say nothing. Bores me to tears. Paddy offers something different, so I've got to give him credit for that.
The crux of this thread for you just seems to be to gloat that Adelaide beat Geelong, which is really petty. It belongs in the Bay in fact. If you want to make threads where you pretend to present a legitimate issue to disguise a desire to stick the boots into an opposition club, that's where it should go.Another one throwing some media together to be six points behind. Keep up the good work.
I'm agreeing with Biggy_Boy on everything he's said to you in this thread, we agree so seldom we have been responsible for each other getting infractions. Fair indication of the the quality of the discussion topic.
Yeah I hope you guys make it to the grand final and we get to smash yas then. Will be good to hear all the excuses, there's always a rider when Geelong talk.We could have done none of that and still lost anyway, nice self pwn though, suggesting it's the reason you won

Right back at ya. Flag #10 would be nice.
Masses in this context would refer to those who are vocal on these "issues", in which case you wouldn't expect someone to really speak up if there were evidence provided to the contrary. In other words, it's not really everyday that you hear someone crow up with, "Gee, players these days are so full of personality!"
The players in that side did not really relish the media spotlight like Dangerfield does. Ablett was always very media shy, and many of the others were subdued as well. That didn't mean that they didn't joke around and have fun, though, which is all Taylor was doing. That doesn't mean it's a detriment to the side to have a public persona; Dangerfield has been in the spotlight more since coming to Geelong and Geelong went from outside the 8 to making a prelim with him in the side, so evidence would point to it not really being an issue, provided the player relishes the attention, which Danger clearly does.
