Oppo Camp Essendon V Hawthorn banter thread (Round 18)

[Whowants2know]

Leigh Matthews, Peter Hudson, Lance Franklin & Jason Dunstall are better than any player in Essendon's history.

And not 1 of them is going to get a kick tonight, so who cares!!

 

[Necromancer Beth]

Is this game Essendon "line in the sand match"???

They don't have players with enough backbone to start smashing blokes. The only thing Monfries, Stanton and Jetta will be doing tonight is staging for free kicks and squealing to umpires in high pitched voices when they don't get them

 

[Slattery_20]

the last time hawthorn beat essendon in a game that really meant anything was...? anyone?

they have done well in mid-season matches against battered & bruised sides, you have to admit.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

The tackle that derailed Carlton season.

I heard that they were privately seething.

At the least Monfries wont have to worry about being slapped on the arm tonight.

In 2001, you wouldn't have won that prelim without Goldspink. In 2009, you wouldn't have won round 22 without that other twit. You know it, I know it, the whole football world knows it. You need umpire assistance to beat Hawthorn in big games.

 

[IriDiuM]

Well, looks like the Dorks have their excuse already for when their pants get pulled down tonight!

 

[Jade]

You mad?

Only when I'm not drunk, stoned or otherwise under the heavy influence of the mind altering substance of the day.

That's just laughable HAD.

 

[Necromancer Beth]

That's just laughable HAD.

It's true.

According to Mike Sheehan, Matthews & Dunstall are better than any other Essendon player to ever play. And Hudson would be the 2nd best player in Essendon's hstory.

Excuses excuses.

We ran over you in 2009, your soft team fell apart from one hit. Very mentally fragile are Hawks. NLM to run through Mitchell tonight and watch the Hawks fall apart. This is of course the club that had a bitch slapper as their "enforcer" for the best part of a decade.

 

[Drummer_19]

It's true.

Nine Coleman medals between them... impressive

Mike Sheehan rates Jobe above Hodge, Mitchell, Sewell, Lewis, Cyril, Roughead well your entire team except for Buddy.

Except that is isnt. Disregarding the fact that this is OPINION, there are 2 Essendon players ahead of Hudson. Go back and count again. You can count past 1, right?

Good lord... adopting The Richmond Excuse...

Stick with it, you’re on a winner.

This year yes. So do I. Career wise, obviously not.

Lol.

Nah he said career on the couch about a month ago, Hodge has done nothing for 3 years and Jobe has been superior to Mitchell for around 4 years now. Seeing as Hodges body is finished he wont be back and well, Sammy isn't even rated by your coach seeing as he got stripped of the captaincy so that sums up Jobe and himself right there.

It's lucky you got Buddy, even though his hammies are now falling apart he has been a fantastic player.

 

[IriDiuM]

Glad to see you find humour in your obvious learning disability. But in your list, Hutchison at 12 and Reynolds at 13 are ahead of Hudson at 16

Hodge was 2nd in the MVP and nearly every POTY award in 2010. He was also All Australian captain that year as well. Try again. Mitchell polled 30 Brownlow votes last year. Try again. Is that the response you were after?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Pfffffft....

Mike Sheehan is a sensationalist, senile, self-righteous ****. / thread.

You know it's true.

If Sheehan says it, it must be true then.

Sheehan is a flog whose opinion (I stress opinion- we all have them) on most things to do with football is seriously overrated.

Also, you said before that Matthews, Franklin, Dunstall and Hudson were better. Now you're saying only two of them are.

Not backtracking now, are we?

 

[Necromancer Beth]

Indeed.
