The Hawks are the oldest list in the comp. LOL

[maryjames]

Geelong were older again this week.

Lost to Brisbane. Wowee

 

[Lethality]

No, Geelong lost to Essendon. 26 years and 3 months average age. That's fairly old, and with Scott Selwood still to come in.

Brisbane haven’t won a game in a decade. Congrats on your shitness

 

[Laphroaig]

Great to see Old Man Hodgey stick it to Dad's Army in Australia's retirement home, SE Queensland.

Maybe the Hawks should just stay there?

It was actually a master move by Hodge.

Knowing as he does that Burton is worse than zero without a filthy rotten sniper holding his dick, Hodge ran around all day screaming:

SPUD IT UP BURTON
OUT ON THE FULL BURTON
TURNOVER BURTON
SHIT MOUSTACHE BURTON

I'm not a Brisbane.

And it worked.

Classic Hodgey!

**** ME.

His first post in 3 months not repeating the same "witty" line.

And the team changing? Was not completely unamusing the first time.

Now however.......

Your obsession with me is one-way, so I don't even know which line it is you found so witty.

Don't worry.

It was only a tiny bit.

Being a worn out cliche of yourself is nothing to be proud of Mr AFLM.

Please just stop dreaming about me then.

There's nothing wrong with calling the game AFLM. That's what it is, yet everyone seems to take offense at it for some reason. All it signifies is that it is a version of AFL, just as AFLW is, or AFLX, or AFLIR, and so forth. These are just the facts, and nothing to be ashamed of.

There's nothing wrong with calling you a profoundly boring little tit. That's what you are.

It could be worse. We could be Carlton.

 

[Laphroaig]

No you couldn't.

For that you'd need a long history steeped in tradition; as opposed to being around barely long enough to develop a few bad habits.
You'd need a deeply loyal supporter base spanning generations; as opposed to a mixture of fair weather bandwagoners and labradors.
You'd need a home ; as opposed to shopping yourself around like a couch surfing crack whore.

With time and application these things might possibly be remedied I suppose.

But the reason you could not be Carlton, ever, is you are not Big 4. And you never, ever will be.

So probably best to stay what you are. A soulless, heartless, homeless expansion club.

1995 was so long ago...

 

[Laphroaig]

Point proven.

Not that it needed to be.

 

[Frankston Rover]

That you're shit and have been for a long time?

That cheating no longer wins you flags?

Yep, point proven.

I wouldn't expect you to have the faintest understanding.

You think 2008 is recent and 1995 ancient. Whereas for the grand old clubs both periods are no more than a blip in time.

You think your 10 year shitfight with Geelong and Sydney constitutes a rivalry. How cute. If it goes on for another 90 or so it might actually be a rivalry.

Not your fault, it's the way expansion clubs think.

 

[maryjames]

True.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Salary cap restrictions have really restricted Carltons ability to win

Those other rivalries you're talking of no longer exist. That's why Eddie McGuire has to get desperate and promote the possibility of player brawls to get people watching.

In the period since 1997 only 5 teams have crowd totals higher than 9 million.

Four of that five are Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon. The fifth is Adelaide.

In the same year period, ONLY ONE of the top 15 home and away crowds has involved any other team - Geelong vs Collingwood, 2010.

That's right. Of the 30 competing teams in the 15 top drawing games of the last 20 years, 29 spots are taken by the traditional rivalries you claim no longer exist.

Geelong big 5 confirmed?

Only until half time.

Crowd numbers are a poor metric for legitimate feeling between two clubs.

Far better than wild claims pulled out of your arse are.

There is no better measure of rivalry than the fans coming out in droves regardless of how the teams involved are travelling at the time.

But I don't expect you to understand great rivalries. You have no experience of them.
