2014 Non Eagles Discussions Thread

[Bleedblueandgold]

I just dont understand some Dockers fans. If you were supporting a club that had NEVER won anything in its entire existence, which is almost 20 years now, why would you think it was a good idea to give sh1t to the supporters of a club that was one of the most successful in the history of the AFL?
Seriously, it is baffling the mentality of these nuffies..

They're obviously just envious of our past successes.

Voss says if he had his time again he would have spent some time as an assistant before becoming a senior coach. I kind of wish he had.

Obviously, but in what universe would you then think it was a good idea to try and troll someone whos more successful than you? Its bizarre...

Stark contrast to the recruit of the year articles that vic papers were sprouting last year

 

[hudson2006]

Suns are going to be a seriously scary team in a few years time

Could be this year if they have better luck with injuries.

Without a doubt. I still think he'd be a good to have in the coaches box now.

So i'm predicting about 10 games for Sylvia at Peel this year, what's everyone elses predictions?

Different colours, same pea heart

might have to account for "injury" and club imposed stand downs, but yeah won't spend more than half the season in the seniors

Well they were happy with the performances of Pea Heart I from Port last year so expectations seem to be low.

3 year deal as well for both of them wasn't it? Oh dear

Its Freo, the only club to have a grand final parade just for making the grand final....

 

[Natho]

Sylvia and Danyle Pearce can compare who's the bigger soft**** and front runner

I mean Ablett I can understand, That bloke is amazing.
Tom Scully......Well, All im going to say is that it still amazes me that this bloke is anywhere near this bracket.
Aaron Sandilands....Imagine the space in their salary when this bloke retires. The future looks good for the dockers

 

[kane249]

Fyfe and Mundy out of contract end of this year, if they both stay then there's a fair chunk of that money gone

 

[Quinz]

Sandilands is on the old veterans system as well apparently, so only half of his salary is included in the cap.

 

[bkozican]

Fyfe can come to over to the WC if he likes

 

[kane249]

Would prefer someone who can kick

It's interesting given that the rules of changed now so that only $100K gets excluded instead of half like it used to. If Freo had given him a 10 year deal back then like Sydney did with Buddy, they could have exploited the rule for a few more years yet as well.

Must be missing something. There is a grand final parade every year involving both teams.

We're not talking about the official parade in Melbourne, we're talking about the one in Freo where they were driving trucks down the main street with bands playing in them in freo jumpers a couple of days before the game. Most clubs wait til after theyve won something to celebrate.

Isn't that just a standard smoko break in Fremantle?
Nothing special there.

haha nope, definitely a special occasion. They had to hire bands that would actually wear a freo jumper in public, and that takes time..

Maiden grand final seems like a reasonable reason for festivity.

20 years of being in the comp, i'd say thats a cause for relief.
