[George CantStandYa]

This is when you go... he's a w***er, but he's OUR w***er.

Agree, but that’s not what he said, he basically said he’d change his mind and he wouldn’t be a w***er any more

 

[cleanhands]

Norwood oval is tiny, surely it must have floated your way.

But i digress, in this day and age forget the floater, its now mcdonalds being kicked around out there

I had heard that people get leather poisoning from it so I avoided touching it

 

[PeterSalt]

Are you a lawyer?

Sometimes, often, your arguments are centred precisely on what people post without considering any nuance (not dissimilar to Sanders)

And then you sometimes spend days, weeks, months trying to hammer to the same point home

Kristof has clarified what he thinks, and yet you're still trying to score some meaningless BF win

It's boring .. move on

 

[Crow till I die]

I had heard that people get leather poisoning from it so I avoided touching it

if you were worried about sickness from that, i better not tell you about the McFlurry machines then....

 

[George CantStandYa]

I have to laugh at those posters here who think they're the Internet Police.

I don't give a crap about your feelings on my opinions.

I couldn't care less if you think some people here are too optimistic, or others are hypocritical.

It's a game.

It doesn't need people thinking they somehow need to be a BigFooty Cop and policing what people think.

If you don't rate someone's opinions, then mute them.

As for me, I'm perfectly happy with the fact that I'd cheer David Warner when he played for Australia, but I probably would have booed him if he'd opened the batting for the Poms. From my point of view, once he'd pulled on the green and gold - or the tricolours - then he'd become a better person. [emoji23]

lol and what do you think you act to posters who are critical of the club? Do you think you try to encourage discerning opinions or shut them down.

As for the Warner example, it’s not relevant. Pretty sure you acknowledge he’s a w***er but you support him, most of us do.

You clearly said Draper would be less of a bellend if he played for the Crows. Whereas most of us would still hold the opinion he’s a bellend but still support him because he’s a Crows supporter. Spot the difference? Our opinion on his character hasn’t changed.

As for you not caring that the majority recognise you’re a clapper whose opinion reflects the Crows opinion and you can’t think for yourself, yeah nah. That’s why you wrote this drivel to try and pretend you don’t.

 

[DJ75]

All Milera needs is one game to let us have all of his kids in the future. Make him a sub for one game if he's showing he's not up to it anymore.

Well then he definitely needs to play at least one game. And yes sub is fine.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The only reason for thinking milera is best 22, is the bias associated with him being “the Dangerfield pick”. He’s not good enough and sadly, that’s footy.

Any of his instinctive creativity was crowed out of him (cough, Rachelle) and the coaching staff can’t decide where his best position is…

Add multiple injuries.. and here we are. We owe to him to get him through his rehab and cut him loose.

I think we should have picked a different type of player given our needs at the time but if he can stay on the park he's best 22.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Interesting that Olsen talked about seeking out more experienced football operators like Wright or Balme... when apparently Balme is still waiting on a phone call from AFC!

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol. You reckon he’s a w***er. You’ll forget all of that, so he goes from a w***er to a not a w***er because of who he plays for.

Do you not get how idiotic that is? It’s basis of your opinions and why I ride you, they aren’t actually your opinions and given you’re an adult that’s staggering. It also extends to your opinions on here, why would anyone take them seriously and what makes you think you’re in a position to criticise anyone else’s who doesn’t blindly follow the club? At least our opinions are based on our own thoughts based on the information in front of us, not based on blind club loyalty which just makes you a sheep.

I hated Joel Selwood ducking his head but I loved Matty Wright kicking his 1 or 2 goals a week from ducking his head.

Its the same as the pies loved ginny ducking ,kicking goals but as soon as he went to hawks and played them they hated him

I'm fairly sure Neil's been told enough is enough after his latest health scare going back a month or 2.

Poor bloke didn't even get to go to his own testimonial dinner.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Us supporters should get to vote which players go on the camp, though.

Off you go Murphy, Laird, Smith, Burgess, ROB...

Send some posters too?

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

If Dan Curtins girlfriend is from Adelaide he’s never moving back home.

Just saw them on the red carpet, he is batting way above his average

Apparently he mentioned last week he hadn't heard from the Crows... so he still thinks he has something to give.

Not as much as Billy Brownless

I don’t think she is, they were dating before he was drafted

I saw that, maybe his wife has confiscated his phone haha.

Not saying we've called him, and if he's healthy we should, but I think doctors have been telling him for years to just go and retire properly.

Got to laugh the port clowns think they will keep houston and get luko with 2nd rounders or get 13 and and still get luko for peanuts

I don’t reckon he’ll cost them a first.

Dopey was her favourite dwarf...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Should only cost them a future 2nd if they are picking up the full salary.

Would be crazy if they effectively swap Houston for Lukosius... paying twice as much for an inferior player.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Send some posters too?

Imagine the roll call on the bus. They'd call out 20 names, get 20 'heres' and there'd be 3 guys on the bus.

Because they dont like their opinions being challenged.
