Hall/Thompson

[trooroo4life]

The thing is he did back down - he barely came near Hall in the 2nd half. Which just further shows how piss weak he is.

Did you watch the game ? ... he played on him in stages in the second half , last qtr thompson went down with cramp came back on towards the end but Josh Smith was playing on hall and doing a good job. Hall was off and on the ground at times in the second half and its probably smart by Brad Scott to keep him away from Hall to stop anything happening again. Dont think he is pissweak mate coz a pissweak he aint!!

Not a fan of pretend tough guy tactics. Its quite humiliating to watch a guy like Thompson behave like a tool.

It's actually quite hilarious thats theres so many Footscray supporters crying about wittle bawwy getting bullied. Actualy quite enjoyed the show, love the way Scotty goes about his buisness.

No one is worried about Bazza getting bullied, the only thing we are p!ssed off about is the report and possible suspension when he didn't instigate anything and got sick of that idiot you call a fullback constantly elbowing him in the back for the entire first half. The AFL said these tactics would not be tolerated and it seems they are if Hall is playing.

I'm in the Western Suburbs mate , your clubs heartland and you have **** all support and that will never change ! I know as many North supporters as Dogs supporters , maybe more North . So please , never get on your high horse about growing your club , a fall back down the ladder will have Footscray in serious trouble . I hope that never happens by the way !

Yes and we have nearly 34000 members and have sold out gold reserved seating and social club, north have 28000 and have a record membership of 33000 in a year greatly influenced by pity memberships and have been going down ever since...

I did - yes, he may have played on him, but he barely touched him after the incident. In fact it appeared that he tried to avoid him most of the time. Weak.

 

[trooroo4life]

You do realise we are in the 4 despite johnson not playing, hall is in the top 3 in the coleman and gia is in career best form right? Aker hasnt been great but we are still top 4, and he has a proven track record in big games. Hahn is mainly the team for his defensive output, and toughness and that is definitely still there, 10 contested possession yesterday which was 3rd most on the ground behind only cooney and boyd

yeah i realise that and i realise you are a great team i was just pointing out those blokes are'nt gonna be there much longer and there probably a few more and when there times up its back "rebuilding" phase for the dogs maybe not a huge phase but there will be one. So if you arent gonna win it this year which you wont you only got a few years left after that before you guys are back down struggling to make the 8 , my opinion this is what this boards for mate

Well being reported twice to that point probably a smart thing dont you think , and did Hall touch him after the incident or did you overlook that ?

Hurts coming from a hawk supporter mate , i may never recover. Thompson is skilled mate and has had raps put on him by alot of fowards including Fevola who could actually handle the niggling unlike Barry

he didnt need to, the contest where hall started behind thompson, ducked in front of him and ended up taking an uncontested mark is good indicator.
hall went on to kick two more goals, get another goal assist and hit the post...

 

[trooroo4life]

One of those goals from the goalsquare from an interchange infringment. The other running into goal uncontested. And Thommo didnt need to touch him as Josh Smith/Michael Firrito shared the duties on him for most the second hallf Thommo did play on him but not for long

We had Johnson, Murphy, Higgins, Everitt, Ward, Moles, out yesterday. Except for Johnson and Murphy, the other guys are all young. We have some more young guns chomping at the bit to play as well eg Roughhead is a good prospect as will be Ayce Cordy, Liam Jones, and Jarrad Boumann and I haven't even mentioned any draftees from 2009. List management under Eade has been fantastic.

 

[trooroo4life]

As NorthBhoy said our zone alows opposition fowards to get free and run in and kick cheapies , i hate it but its what our club is doing and beleive it will help in the long run so i support it. So to answer your question the North defenders were in the middle of the ground

Our use of the early draft picks for being crap under Eade has been fantastic for us onfield this year.

Corrected.

Mate i dont doubt the young talent you have i love watching higgins play he is a gun , roughead also looks the goods , and to be honest dont know about the others but will those blokes besides Higgins , be as good as the more experience players you are going to lose in the next few years ?

 

[shintemaster]

I'm still trying to work out how that doesn't make you blatantly wrong. Find the erase button buddy, then go and have a cup of tea, calm down, and get set working on your next piece of fiction.

Happily concede I was wrong in the stats, which is obvious by the fact that I mentioned the 18 disposal difference. None of it changes the fact that Eade - and plenty of dogs supporters - are claiming that North went after the man when that simply isn't the case.

But I'm sure trite comments about cups of tea will console you as you head towards a sixth decade of failure.

We are blooding Stack and Grant in the forward line, Moles to take over from Eagleton, Everitt is still 21 and can play back or forward, Ward at 20 years old has already shopwn he can play.

As for Cordy, Jones and Boumann, time will tell. They are all 200cm and athletic.

Crap under Eade? Are you kidding, Two prelims, a Qualfying final and just miss the 8?

You mean Crap under Rhode.

 

[incubi]

Corrected.

Fool, in eades first year we missed the finals by a goal, 2nd season made the finals and got knocked out in the 2nd week by the eagles, 3rd year was a disappointment but then we made the finals the next two years...our earliest draft pick in eades time was pick 5, who we got jarred grant with who kicked two yesterday. eade has gone 9th, 6th, 13th, 3rd and 3rd.

 

[TheBloods]

The bloke who breaks jaws isnt a dick?

Has no bearing on whether Thompson is a dick or not.

 

[TheBloods]

No.

If Hall can't control himself, and the end result of some niggling is him losing his shit, he shouldnt be on the football field.

That was hardly "losing his shit".

None of it changes the fact that Eade - and plenty of dogs supporters - are claiming that North went after the man when that simply isn't the case. .

Why is it that only Norf posters are defending Thompson and every other supporter group agree who the cheap shots were being fired by.

BTW, headbutting a man while he is lying on his back, another cheap shot.

Add to that McMahon's cheap knee in the head while Picken on the ground, plus McMahon's knee in the head while Cooney flat on his back. I can go on and on if you want. These are not tough acts, they are gutless.
