2014 Non Eagles Discussions Thread

[Quinz]

It is why WE are called flat track bullies and Adelaide are not.

We regularly get belted by teams inside the 8. At least Richmond, Roos, Adelaide, Bombers and Suns can occasionally cause an upset or two.

We must be a pretty easy team to tip.

We don't lose to Melbourne at home though. What the hell Adelaide?

It's shock losses like that which lead to change and a team turning things around. Well for most teams, that is.

Adelaide have quality all over the shop, really they have been under-performing until last night this season. They should really make the finals from here.

Our midfield + Danger = better than Adelaide's

Danger, Sloane and Thompson are better than all of our mids. Not to mention the 2 Crouches

Yes
No
No

 

[kane249]

Thompson is like Priddis with bigger muscles and less hair

 

[Patron]

Yes
No
No

Sloane is on par with Shuey, Thompson is better than priddis.

Scooter is better than neither.

So what you are saying is that those three are NOT better than ALL our mids, each one betters one of ours...

Anyones see the Ump go down?

I must be a horrible person because I pissed myself laughing.

 

[Quinz]

Spicy third quarter in that one. Dons fans not impressed with Trollface Pannell and let him have it. He's lucky he didn't take banned drugs or he would have got a standing ovation, which would have just been confusing for him.

Looking forward to Tim Watson being very upset about it all.

Who plays on who against Sydney?

eMac on Tippett
Brown on buddy
Yeo on goodes
?? On Reid


I'm not sure glass can go with any of them

Glass on Ried. Ried has been stinking it up so I don't think it will matter too much. Their forwards and defenders don't worry me too much.

Considering how many goals they got out of their mids today and how crap our mids are. I agree that their forwards/defense is the least we have to worry about.

I tipped the crows (and do like the crows ) so I'm glad they won . I'm feeling more optimistic about this week now - more optimistic that we won't be thrashed . I didn't watch the game because I was at work . Any chance of a pies player getting a suspension ?

And thank you Sydney for eating into Essendon's %- could be the difference between us vs them making the 8 at season's end . And to those who say the trade off was that Sydney gained %- I never saw them as competing with us for a spot in the same part of the 8 , in the same way as Essendon or a few other clubs so it's fine

Essendon are spent from the whole ASADA fiasco. Furthermore, we shouldn't be crossing our fingers and wishing pretty please as far as % is concerned.

We should be there on merit.

% is merit based! Even moreso than individual games which might be won/lost due to extenuating factors (whilst % , as it takes into account the entire season , tends to average out)

 

[MWPP]

Also sad and a bit worrying for us in terms of where we're at given that their best win of the season was against Carlton ...

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I had a bit of a laugh, until I saw he was in real trouble.

I mean, how could anyone NOT initially laugh at an ump going down

 

[Patron]

I was doing more of a midfield comparison. You could easily argue that sloane and Thompson are better than shuey who is our best mid. And you would probably be right.

Yeah, seems like they've been "spent" because of that issue for almost two and a half years now. Is a massive cop out I think. They just aren't very good.

Love how the thread on Essendon booing umpire is closed within hours by an Essendon Mod. When it was clear over the audio that they were in fact booing the umpire as he was stretchered off. Yet our supposed booing of Hawkins with no evidence at all that that was the case was allowed to stay open for days for the trolls to get their shots in. Lets not even start to mention the outrage from this same group of "fans" when we went to town on their drug cheating captain last year.

Can't wait for their club to fall to pieces.

What do you expect from BigFooty?

After we won the flag in 2006 there was a massive thread on the main board full of trolling about how three or four of our players didn't shake the kids' hands who were handing out medals.

There was a massive thread on the main board about how we booed Watson, which was never closed and full of trolls.

We cop it on the main board harder than anyone else.

 

[MWPP]

Haha now it's Richmond's turn to be inaccurate . If only other teams would do it against us once in a while!

 

[Jarlcorbz]

If Melbourne cleans up their disposal and keeps their tackling pressure then they would go quite far this season IMO.
