Supporting Carlton really.

I tried to support Hawthorn as a kid and my Dad told me that was fine, I'd just have to live somewhere else.

I often remind him how happy I'd have been in someone else's house :tearsofjoy:
 
At the end of 2009 I was certain the Crows and Brisbane would be the two best teams the next year. The Crows had a great mix of old and new, Brisbane had gotten Fev and looked good, both played and won a final. I was wrong, however.
 
Wasn't me (I promise) but we had some posters saying we shouldn't have matched the bid for Sam Darcy, because we had Jamarra and Naughton.

He was the cream GCS simply didnt need. They needed leaders who would bring the kids up. GAJ had zero interest in that.

You're right on this but you can blame then AFL/Gold Coast arrogance and ignorance for that also. Geelong were well aware he was a gun player but not necessarily a leader and definitely not captaincy material and the 2010 season showed why. GC chose to ignore it and offer an obscene amount to him regardless thinking that would fix everything. Still, I don't think it makes him a 'shit team mate'.

Yeah I said something similar about Steve Smith when a Sydney grade **** told me ‘don’t worry about his spin, wait until they start picking him as a batsman’ and I scoffed at him.
Doesn't matter what his record is - he'll always be Squashface to me, and that's because of you and the Collo...
 
I never made a call that I got wrong. But I never made a call that I made right. There is no wrong. Nor right. There is only one that isn't light.

Plenty have been wrong since 2010 in n declaring the Cats will fall off the cliff "next season".

The other one for me was that a Brisbane FC without Joe Daniher injuries to Hipwood, Neale, Berry, Coleman and even McCarthy, could not win the 2025 premiership
 
Felt Lachie Neale starting as sub on grand final day was the wrong call before the match started.
