Oppo Camp Essendon V Hawthorn banter thread (Round 18)

[Doss]

Yeah, some of our supporters are leading with a glass chin. I think the Hawks should win based on form but expect it to be closer than some calls. Could easily go the other way if the boys are a week ahead or behind in the head.

If we do lose, I might need somewhere further than I am from Melbourne for a few weeks

Yeah, agree with all that. Hawks should win, but some of the bombast I've seen and heard has been amusing.

 

[The Dustbin]

Interesting nickname seeing as your captain leads the league in clangers and averages more per game than Shoey has had all year.

Haha you idiot. Comparing a wannabe KPB with an onballer who averages 29 disposals per game. Carry on...

* Andrew Swallow and Jobe have 115 clangers each this year.

 

[Jaeger]

Love how scared the Bummer flogs are.

Dustbin, Schoenmakers would be your best defender.

Clangermakers wouldn't even get a game with Bendigo. You and your deluded (Hawks) mates keep on believing though.

And Lonergan would be Hawthorn's best midfielder.

See, two can play at being a complete idiot.

 

[Rushed_Behind]

LOL... you have less idea than the Richmond Jade who also is totally clueless..

That is the worst thing i have ever read on BF. EVER.

 

[Jaeger]

Clangermakers wouldn't even get a game with Bendigo. You and your deluded (Hawks) mates keep on believing though.

Lol Rick Ladson is Bendigo's best defender.

Speaking of your reserves, it's a massive concern for Essendon that no one playing there is currently AFL standard, considering changes must be made after Geelong slaughtered you with an inexperienced side missing Bartel.

Before we look at who could possibly come in to play the best team in the country, let's look at who should go out.

Del'Ol'LlOilo (sp?) Surely this selfish dud doesn't keep his spot.

Fumbleton. Can you really afford to play this hack against our elite backline Friday?

Melksham. Has he done anything this year?

Footsteps Heppell. He'll be found out more than ever against the Hawks.

Baguley's hopeless.

David Hille would be dropped if you had a decent ruck at Bendigo, which you don't.

But who could even come in to replace these spuds?

Ariel Steinberg? LOL. Will never make it.

Winderlich? So far off it atm it's sad.

Spike? Finished.

Kavanagh? Do you really want this kid's first game to be an absolute drubbing? He'll have nightmares for the rest of his career.

Hocking may come back in, but he's always been found out against Hawthorn to be the overrated thug he truly is.

 

[Jaeger]

And Lonergan would be Hawthorn's best midfielder.

See, two can play at being a complete idiot.

Schoey really would be your best defender though. I'm not trolling here.

He's better than Hooker, Pairs, Hardingham and Carlisle.

Sammy Lonergan wouldn't get a game at Hawthorn.

 

[Furn]

Haha you idiot. Comparing a wannabe KPB with an onballer who averages 29 disposals per game. Carry on...

* Andrew Swallow and Jobe have 115 clangers each this year.

Watson 29 disposals and 7.2 clangers per game. That's 1 in 4 disposals

Shoey 16 disposals and 0.4 Clangers per game. That's 1 in 40 disposals.

So again how is the name Clangermakers in anyway apt ?

 

[Doss]

Shepp- there's a difference between banter and potting players on our list indiscriminantly, and in the process demonstrating that you have precisely three fifths of ****all knowledge about our players, especially our reserves players.

Talking of reserves, our absolute dud of a reserves team gave your champion reserves team a drubbing this year. On their home ground.

How do Steinberg, Winderlich, and Spike go out of the seniors when they didn't even play?

You might want to read the post again. Start at the sentence above the one on Ariel Slowberg.

 

[The Dustbin]

Watson 29 disposals and 7.2 clangers per game. That's 1 in 4 disposals

Shoey 16 disposals and 0.4 Clangers per game. That's 1 in 40 disposals.

Keep comparing apples and pears.

It is apt because I and Bay 13 say so. Carry on...

 

[The Dustbin]

You might want to read the post again.

Can't be bothered - way too long, and full of shit.

 

[MinerBoy]

?? So a behind is worth 2 points nowdays is it?

Comprehension fail.

I said we kicked 11 of those points. Thus add 11 to us and subtract 11 from them. 11 + 11 = ?

 

[MinerBoy]

So apparently, Hawthorn really kicked 18.18 and Geelong 11.12? Hawthorn really won the 2008 Grand Final by 48 points.

Yeah, okey mete. There are so many flaws in that logic, I could go on for quite some time.

Hawthorn won the 2008 Grand Final for four reasons.

1. Geelong wasted countless opportunities in front of goal.
2. Geelong threw way too many numbers forward when in possession (and sometimes when not even in possession), and were thus killed on the rebound.
3. Geelong were poorly coached on the day. See above. And what the hell was Stokes doing on Hodge?
4. Hawthorn took their opportunities. The relative lack of defensive pressure (because of the excessive numbers thrown forward) is reflected in Hawthorn's accurate goal kicking.

In summary, Geelong choked. They f****d up. They were by some margin the best side in 2008, and chose a really bad game to have an off day. 2008 was a classic Bradbury premiership.

That's just hilarious. Ignoring the fact that for the past 6-8 weeks of that season, Hawthorn were clearly the best team and that Round 1-18 doesn't matter all that much ( a bit like this season - plenty to go). Hawthorn had the form going into the GF to be expected to win but everyone's eyes were still glazed over by Geelong. Aside from the 20 minute patch in the 2nd when Geelong did attack relentlessly, and to no avail, the Hawks comprehensively outplayed them for the rest of the match.

As for the flawed logic - just relax dude. Seems your humour metre needs adjusting if you missed the point of that post.

 

[MinerBoy]

And Lonergan would be Hawthorn's best midfielder.

See, two can play at being a complete idiot.

Yeah, but you're winning.

 

[Vtorians]

Our season kicks off again fri night, only been beaten by 2 real contenders all yr (Coll & Syd in close ones)
This games got massive upset written all over it.

Hey Roby, I'd love to see your Power Wanking, sorry Rankings applied to key defenders. Let me help you out with the template:

1. Clangermakers
2. Gibson
3. Stratton
4. Gilham
5. Boumann
6-39. <draw names out of a hat, but try to leave out a good team or two>
40. <elite defender like Reid or Richards>
41+ <draw names out of a hat>

Next you wank on about how you need an advanced level of calculus to come up with that. Then you use your aliases to make it seem like people agree with you.

(incidentally, I do have an advanced understanding of calculus, so I'd love to see your working)

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Shoey 16 disposals and 0.4 Clangers per game. That's 1 in 40 disposals.

It's apt because drafting him just 5 picks before Zaharakis is probably the biggest clanger in AFL history.

 

[tazhawk]

Here I was thinking trading for a broken Mark Williams was the biggest clanger.

On the game Friday night I think any honest Essendon supporter will consider it a magnificent effort if they get within 5 goals of the Hawks.

Buddy must be so pissed that he does not get to rag doll you guys (like he has done every time)

 

[Slattery_20]

Yeah, but you're winning.

That's actually quite good, Dos23

 

[Slattery_20]

Why would you add 11 to your score?
Did the guys who rushed the behinds have the option of kicking a point at your end instead?

We got a win against Carlton out of Williams, and we picked the guy we would have picked at 16 with pick 24 anyway. Speaking of pick 24 and clangers, you would have been better off keeping pick 24, drafting an actual A grade tall defender (watch closely on Friday night and you'll see what a good defender looks like. He'll be wearing #22 and it sure as hell isn't the front runner in the piss and poo 22 I'm referring to) and leaving Shaun "I've done nothing since 2004" Burgoyne to rot.

Lol, don't make me break down a tongue in cheek comment for you too. I expect better.

Anyway, if a serious point has to be made -> Geelong didn't kick 23 points. Their inaccuracy was over stated due to our devious tactics of getting the ball back into a set play situation.
