A Tribute to Robert Walls - Big Calls Based on R1 of the Pre-Season

[Lavender Bushranger]

At this time of year, I often find myself sitting back in my chair, sipping my cognac and smoking my pipe in my silk robe, smiling fondly whilst I recall Robert Walls screaming in the commentary box that it was a disgrace that St Kilda wasn't tagging Luke Hodge.

It was the 2nd quarter of the first pre-season game of the year.


Ahhh. Good times.



Anyway, although I can't ever even try to match that type of nous and astuteness - I do have some big R1 of pre-season calls to declare.


1) Rhys Shaw can't coach. He's all 'let's have some fun and have a beer and try hard', but has neglected skill.

Too much weights, not enough speedball. So to speak.

2) The Bulldogs are soft. They're gonna get bashed this year. It's going to become a hobby for opposition teams, because they don't have anyone to give a bit back. They're already being bitch slapped and doing nothing about it in R1 of the pre-season FFS!

3) Hawthorn will finish bottom 4. Just very mediocre. And they'll trade that top 3 pick next year for some injury plagued and questionable 'big name'.


That's it for now. I'm sure there'll be plenty more 'Wallsy esque' epiphanies over the weekend.


Good chat. Good chat.

 

[Pessimistic]

I’m confused. Are you saying the assertions you made are baseless?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

You need a run in the ruck

 

[Pessimistic]

You need a run in the ruck

then one game a forward was put in the ruck. Roughy I think and Walls did his s**t

 

[SuperSteele22]

I don't have any big calls but I saw Robert Walls' name in the title so I thought it was appropriate to bring up this gem.





Genuine peanut.

Yes. I guess

I suppose.

 

[BigVic]

West Coast to finish last, Fremantle to make the Finals in 2018. Eagles went on to win the flag that year.

 

[Pessimistic]

I used to get encouraged when walls predicted bad things for my team. I reckon David King has the kiss of death now

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I really hope Wallsy’s son is a better judge of future performance than he is considering he is now the list manager at Freo

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Brad Hardie to win $1 at the TAB.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Clarkson sacked by round 10 based on last night

Genuine peanut.

That is pretty funny
It was a meaningless 50 as Freo had the mark anyway, were 2 goals up and there was no time left.

On top of that - Thornton was held and probably deserved a free.

 

[PenAndPaper]

1. North will finish bottom 4
2. McEvoy will be the #1 ruck by round 10

You've been following Gold Coast too long.

Ross Lyon to coach again...

Am I right? aussierulesrules and StCicatriz lol

What would you say is the longest you go in a day without thinking about old mate? Are you up to 10 minutes yet!?

It's only 7 minutes past midnight in my glorious poo hole in Adelaide lol

 

[BigVic]

Carlton still on training wheels under David Teague

 

[Captain chaos]

Demons to realise the health of their list isnt the problem.

 

[La Dispute]

From what we have seen so far:

St Kilda top 4 locks, while Hawthorn will struggle to avoid the spoon.

Carlton are now a 5-goal better than Collingwood.

 

[Upgrayedd]

I hope Walls predicts we finish bottom 4. Haven't won s premiership in ages

 

[Brutalitops]

Any tribute for Wallsy should include a boxing match

 

[SuperSteele22]

While I'm on a roll, I'll leave this here

This went well for a team from the West a few years ago
