Opinion Calls you made that you got wrong

[JHF1870]

Time to put your hand up here. We don't always get everything right.

For me, I ripped into Richmond in 2016, created a thread, went viral and then they went on to win a few premierships.

I ripped into Brodie Grundy

early this season and he's absolutely smashing it up now.

I didn't think Esava was ever going to make it at Port, and thought it was a bad call getting him in but #1 in Intercepts in the last 4 weeks he's definitely worth trading in.

 

[Pancakes]

If i said i got something wrong, then that would be wrong, as i never get anything wrong.

 

[demondavey]

I think I said Melbourne would win the 2023 premiership.

 

[Mr Meow]

I think I said Melbourne would win the 2023 premiership.

They still made top 4.

Trav 20 said they'd finish top 4 this season.

I think i was adamant we’d go all the way after bombing 2022.

I once took Sam seriously

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

I never got a call wrong that I didn't get right. And I never got a call right, that I didn't get wrong. I was neither wrong nor right. And neither right, nor wrong.

Right. Wrong.

Not footy related but once I made a call prior to a swimming race that Short people can't be good at swimming because of limb length. 30 seconds later, short guy wins race. Commentators : "Just goes to show you don't need to be tall to be a good swimmer"

Kieran Perkins was short. He was a dwarf. The TV made him look bigger than what he was.

Short people can swim.

 

[Gough]

Came home from the New Year's Test in 1992 of the view that the new blond leggie probably wasn't much chop.

 

[raskolnikov]

Remember saying after the 2013 GF that Freo would have a bit of a dynasty over the next few years.

I was in the Collingwood rooms for Scott Pendlebury

would play 50 AFL games...

 

[Fadge]

Let's go Carlton folk, time to put your hand up...

 

[Outtatym]

I once took Sam seriously

Me too, I vaguely remember a period of time where he was 'alright'. Then he grew this bizarre unwarranted arrogance and 90% of what he said turned to be complete shit.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

They did. For them.

 

[fnerd]

I wouldn’t say bizarre.

It’s just standard for nearly every Carlton supporter

 

[Franc de Borges]

I once believed that we’d win another game.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Once Ross Lyon takes over you'll see the real Carlton.

 

[Mesc]

Kieran Perkins was short. He was a dwarf. The TV made him look bigger than what he was.

Short people can swim.

He was 6ft 4 ?

 

[MooreTreloar]

I remember telling good mates that were Carlton fans in 2013 that Malthouse would deliver them a premiership.

Never been more happy to be wrong in my life.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

He was 6ft 4 ?

Yes. That's dwarfism for swimmers. Most swimmers are at least 8 feet tall. Some 9.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

I said they'd go flagless for at least 30 years straight after they won the prem in 95. I was right. Not wrong. But right.

 

[_Mike_]

Bevo would win a second flag within 5 years of 16

That didn’t go well, close enough =/= success

2016 was worth 3 though. And in 2021 you gave it a good shake just lost to an unbelievably great team. When Bont kicked that goal that put you 17 up I thought it was game over.
