If only he'd said "I'm going to Collingwood to lose grand finals both as a player AND as a coach"

 

[Dylan12]

Come on Dyl.

So you were "expecting" us to roll WCE in Round 1 were you?

No doubt you had plenty on us at what would have been juicy odds at 39.5+

Yeah I did, but not by over 7 goals.

"He stressed his burning ambition to play finals and play in the AFL heartland of Melbourne were crucial considerations. "
He kind of did Maybe he should have specified winning premierships rather than just play in finals .... whether it is playing or coaching it seems the football gods are ensuring he "plays" but not "wins"

Yeah to “play finals footy” was the quote at the time.

Playing in Melbourne made him a huge celebrity. If we didn't have success I'm not sure Voss would have got the media opportunities he did post footy.

 

[MacMum]

One very very happy Mr MM in this house atm...

....his Saints won and are top of the ladder

....sitting at the computer right now playing his Beatles songs and singing at the top of his voice in the most god awful voice, and going through his winning videos of backed horses.

Puts a smile on my face, bless him.

Thank you Saints

Will be watching the GC Crows game intently (with a slight cheering for gold coast). Now I have never been one for supporting other clubs very much been a neautral for every other game but I enjoyed last weeks win (gc win) against carlton. Jumped off the couch even as that last goal went through. I am a lion through and through but today I'll be cheering on the suns.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Surely the Crows get up at home for Eddie. If they can’t, they’re a joke really.

I think the bulldogs have Carlton covered, although they are not as good as Essendon who are not as good as Collingwood.

I've tipped Carlton so you're probably right.

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Based on the way that this round has been going......who knows.

 

[Harris Specter]

Would pay 1 million for MacRae to join the Lions.

Seriously underrated gun.

 

[jackess]

Has a team ever overachieved as much as the Bulldogs did when they won the premiership?

 

[M Malice]

Sam Petrevski-Seton having a breakout game v the Dogs? 25 disposals, 9 contested, 6 marks just before half-time.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Carlton 53 points at half time. Is today the day they break the 100 point drought?

Shaping up nicely for his inevitable move to his beloved Lions.

Tipped crows for gauntlet tipping, not so sure of that now.

I really hope carlton win this game but I've got a feeling that they'll fade away.

 

[CarterS]

Carlton looking really good here.

Same. Reckon a fair few people would've gone GWS at home vs Freo lol.

 

[BangyBangy]

This one will really sting if they get pipped with seconds to spare again lol.

It will break me.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Jesus Doggies. Why don’t teams ever kick for goal this poorly against us.

What a gift for Carlton.

Beveridge is such a weird coach. Doesn't rate rucks- leaves a beanpole to get smashed every week. Doesn't rate key position players- can't kick a score or stop opposition kpps. Constantly rotates his oversupply of midfielders into positions they don't excel in. Dunkley- chf/backup ruckman, McLean and Wallis (I think he did us a favour by re-signing) as small forwards. They've never been a good goal kicking side even on that run in 2016 either, that's no coincidence.

To be fair they've traded in a couple of high profile forwards Schache and Boyd,but sadly they're spuds
