Opinion Calls you made that you got wrong

[_Mike_]

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.

List management was a major issue IMO. Some bad calls on drafting/trading etc however that seems to have ironed out somewhat.

Can’t take anything away from Melbourne’s 21 flag. Well earned

Was left scratching my head on why the **** Ned Long got a contract at the end of last year. He looked really slow in the few games he played last year.

Although it does make a difference when used in a role that suits you.

Carlton having a 20 win season and prelim at absolute worst

That S Burgoyne was no good
In fact I made a thread on bigfooty about it and got rightly crucified the next year onwards

 

[Corn Cobbers]

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

Would be quicker for some of them to list the ones they got right

Early during Shane Crawford's first game v Sydney, me: "lol this guy is too small and skinny and soft, won't last 5 minutes out there"

Kicked 5 that game I think back in 93.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Not me... but given the current game going on.....

Indeed, I'd forgotten that, also it was his SECOND game, couldn't even get that right

I'm guessing no females are replying to this thread.

First minutes of 2014 Grand Final. Kennedy kicks a long goal to open proceedings for the Swans. I turn to my mate and say, "This could be a massacre."

Right call, but wrong team.

Put a joker on Collingwood this round in Margin Mania.

Regretted it soon after but didn't change it.

Knew they would go into "dead rubber" mode instead of thrashing the Eagles.

dead rubber lol..tell me you didnt watch the game without telling me

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Yeah. You're just 29 points worse off than us. Not that much of a gap its why you've won one game.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

yeah fine...but keep telling yourself cwood coasted in 3rd gear for the win

No. Just no.

 

[Tugga27]

I once took Sam seriously

Even if you ignore his crap take on both lists, calling Harry McKay "One of the all time great fowards".

FMD.

 

[JackFlash]

This could become complicated. Since the dawn of time, mankind has endeavoured to keep finding new ways to get totally "sauced". Sam McClure has gone one step beyond.
The "voices" I hear are not too terribly different from the self-critical voices everyone has in their heads... except I can hear them as clearly as if someone were standing right next to me. Oh, and they're not following the footy as well as they should be. There are two distinct male voices that I hear daily (that is, when I'm not on medication, or it decides to randomly stop working for a few days). One tells me to hurt myself or other people, which would be totally against my persona and another calls me the sort of names you generally only hear in the comment section of any BF footy article about how well Albo is going on the Australian Political pages. The key difference is that for me, these voices never "take over"... I'm always conscious and in control of myself. I get stroppy when the Cats lose, but that only lasts about a day and i'm back to my jovial self again by Monday. Sam McClure has some serious issues if he believes just for one minute Carlton has a good list, two great forwards and an all star midfield. We all make silly predictions, but Sam's rant that Carlton should be premiership favourites is straight jacket stuff! I know this was said ages ago, but it was madness then and even crazier now.

Tbf Port supporters were ripping on him prior to moving to the Hawks

That Ross was a good coach

 

[flamethrower]

During the 2014 season with the Bulldogs a broke and rabble and upon hearing Ryan Griffen was leaving I remarked that I'd never see a premiership in my lifetime and the club was likely to be gone by 2020.

Was he overrated Griffin? I remember q lot of hype on him. Don't know if legit or not.
