Probably not going to get too many responses on the main board for this one.
I picked Boyd, he accumulated a lot of the ball consistently, and though he often butchers it I don't buy that he gets it under no pressure. He's always marked, but not tagged, and this allows him to get a bit more...
Bruce is an out and out pervert. For some reason he feels he must sexualise certain players in the game and make the viewing audience uncomfortable. His rumoured potential sexual tendencies aren't an issue for me, I couldn't care less how he feels or what he feels, rather, I just want to hear...
Sam is a very smart man who decided to prostitute himself by picking on those less fortunate than he is, and taking cheap commercially driven shots at other personalities just to make a dollar. He has no credibility as a result.
Dermie is the classic example of somebody suffering from hyper...
I love the BF main board, it's always such a good insight into the human trait of always wanting to be just one rung off the bottom, if that's the best you can do.
Truth of the matter we are rubbish this year as a result of losing some extremely good players to expansion clubs, as well as...
For the record I abhore violent and verbal abuse against women (and most men for that matter) though I have stated throughout the thread mum sledging goes over my head. I don't think bashing people in the face is a good way to deal with that type of sledging.
We obviously have different...
If the process is still in place at the club, I'd hope they do.
You can bet your life that Will would cop it on the chin though, rather than pissing an moaning about it to all and sundry while getting his mates in the media to go in to bat for him.
Hahaha, that's a very balanced and sensible response when dealing with an idiot.
The contradiction in this post puts it in the top five of the thread for mine.
Dude, if the diatribe you displayed was said to me on a football field I'd be a little confused and somewhat amused. You know, ignorant and stupid people are the only one's that say that sort of thing, and I don't regard them at all, in any situation.
Fair enough you were just trying to prove...
Don't doubt it. The Bulldogs players will have their version of events as well (which to this point, already contradict the account of Ports'), do you think that will matter over the course of the next few days?
You either have some inside knowledge of what was said to react so vehemently, or you've got some issues my man. Just reflect on what you've posted on the internet mate, to prove a point, and consider how it actually makes you look like a very ill puppy.
Yes, it is a touchy subject. Agreed wholeheartedly, and I suspect Minson will be made an example of and suspended due to the AFL's over-protection of the game's image. I just hope that once Minson has been whipped publicly (which after all, is what any self respecting conservative would want)...
Yeah, 69 people that are friends with her out of over a 1000 are backing her rantings, I'm shocked. We all know it's easier to be postive on FB than it is to be negative. It's the opposite of Bigfooty.
If that's your point then fair enough. I didn't take that from your first post, and I'll have to take your word that he big notes himself in interviews, rather than answers questions put to him by the interviewer. I suppose we might read different interviews though.
Agree that he needs to...
I didn't see it though I think you're missing the point, as even stupid people can learn a second langauge...............more to the point, there's more than one way through which you can perform the duties of a nuff nuff.
What if the person you are sledging really hates their own family, but takes personally things said about himself? What if the person you are sledging is suffering from depression due to struggling with their own sexual orientation, and he gets called a "stupid <insert derogatory word for...
He's probably a bit lucky to get in a progressive side, though what makes you think Lake will be out by the end of the year since his form has been building since he was suspended after round three? He's probably the best defender in the competition when fit, so with that being the case, why...
It was a pretty ordinary effort, wasn't it?
There's not a lot to be said about it other than that. He tried it on, he's been made to look like a fool and he should just cop a fine and stop doing it.
If we want the game to be umpired well we shouldn't condone this sort of crap. It just...
I thought there was a fairly clear undertone of accepting abuse through the thread, and I interpreted your comment as the same.
If you're saying that's not the case, fair enough, please accept my apologies. Agree that the line can be blurred in some cases, though a lot of the time people are...
If you can think of any player on our list that is astute when it comes to playing on small forwards like Betts, Garlette, Milne, Jetta, etc once Morris and Hargrave have retired then I'd like to stand corrected, though I think we'll be fairly short in this area pretty soon.
Take a look at...
One of my most vivid football memories, even at a young age I knew how ridiculous that circus was.
Also, Beaser should have kicked a banana rather than a drop punt.
This is buffoonery at its best.
So we should abuse everyone that isn't doing what they think we should be doing. should we?
You can criticise people on the basis of emotion without actually being abusive you know. We've all been at the football and had a crack at players when we think...
Some of the abuse levelled at players over the fence by supporters of their own teams is absolutely disgusting at AFL games. I'm sure it's like that in other sports as well.
I see it week in week out at Bulldog games with players like Giansiracusa, Higgins and Williams and it gets to a...
Players are subject to market value. The AFL/football market suggests these players are worth every penny they get. When they move clubs for more money, that's the market talking, not the player.
St Kilda is in its own bracket IMO. Not going to be a top crowd puller, though never going to be in the bottom bracket. They've done really well supporter wise over recent years, and they played excellent footy. They were a bit stiff to miss out on a flag with some of the football they...
Supporter Base
Draft Picks
?????????
Profit/Premierships
Yes, I am serious.
You have not, in any of your posts detailed how Melbourne will capitalise on supporter base, merchandise sales or whatever, plus draft picks will help them be a better side.
I don't know how I can be...
