Hirdy debate

[eastaugh36]

I am not denying that Koutoufides had a great year this year but I am talking about the past 6 years, he needs to be consistent which Hirdy is and whenever Hirdy is playing he is always brilliant, when kouta is consistent like him I will acknowledge he is as good as hird but until then , give me Hirdy anyday !

 

[Arch]

youve now invited everyone to bag him about the stress fractures Easty.

here we go

 

[Derek]

Come on Pooboy you can't miss this oppurtunity.

 

[Rooboy 96]

Derek... just for you...

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Make you happy w***er????

Hird has been so consistent... over the past 6 years...

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

You can call me... MR DEPENDABLE... Not like James...

 

[The Dutchman!]

I'd give you four good reasons you're wrong:

93 Premiership medal
96 Brownlow
00 Premiership medal
00 Norm Smith

And the best thing? He's only 27 AND we (ironically thanks to his now healed long term foot problems) have learnt to win without him... Just heard Carey is 30 this year (and lets face it has a body over 35 from the way he plays)... can you win without him???????

 

[Derek]

Good one Pooboy I knew a moron like you wouldn't dissapoint. Unlike Carey in the semi


hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

 

[Rooboy 96]

Dutchie... if you can win without him... what happened in the years were your guys have been crap and he has been injuried... JUST COINCIDENTAL... I suppose you will say...

Dutchie... don't be so touchie... I was dared to come on... aand you know I can't help myself...

 

[eastaugh36]

the roos are history next year,with capuano gone leaving burton to ruck and with their best player gone in peter bell, they are finished. carey has seen his best days and is always carrying some sort of injury, he has 2 years maximum left, hird has 5 or 6 left and will win more premierships and even a bronwlow before he retires. also, i meant when hird is playing he is good all the time,i know he has had injury problems but now he is over them

 

[Rooboy 96]

Like you I hope Hird is over his injury problems...

Because as you know if he isn't... Essendon will slip again... and none of us would enjoy that...

 

[RICE80SF]

Yeah Roomiester, have to agree we are shit without him, that's why we only beat you guys by 26 points late last year

. Unlike the 40+ margins we're now spanking you by

.

Couldn't resist, you understand Rooboy

.

Cheers.

RED & BLACK BACK to BACK 2001!

 

[eastaugh36]

we were only minor premiers last year without him ! we can win without him

 

[Rooboy 96]

Guys... this eastaugh36 just keeps on leaving the gate open... you think he would know better... But then he does barrack for Essendon... Is his name Peter (I almost stole Lloydys Ball)???

MINOR PREMIERS... WHO GIVES A ****??? HEY DAN...

1999 YEAR OF THE KANGAROO...

[eastaugh36]

I was just giving you an example to prove how we can win without hird ! its a fact, you must be starting to go bald like carey !

 

[Rooboy 96]

Give me a few more facts I can have a laugh at....

Essendon were MINOR PREMIERS in 1990...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

You Bomber twits can't even gloat without getting shot down.
It's like watching 'The Battle of Britain' on video!

[Rooboy 96]

Come on Easty... Don't give up now... It's just starting to get interesting...

 

[Dan26]

Rooboy,

North missed the finals in 1990

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The McClelleand and Ansett Cup trophys in 1990 were 2 of the "big" three. We won 2 out of the three "team trophys that are up for grabs in any given year.

Anyway, it was two more than North got 10 years ago. They got nothing.

 

[Dan26]

Rooboy,

Thanks for giving me another excuse to :

* state that our 21 win H&A season was much harder to achieve than our 3 finals wins. It's true, it's true.

* state that our top spot achieved this year (and in 1990) was the best indicator, as to who the best team was in those years. The finals series just proved who was the best team over 4 weeks. We proved who was the best over 22.

It's true, it's true

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to bring that up again. Really, thanks.

During 2000, North was the reigning premiers. Essendon was the reigning "best team". The fact that we were not called premiers after being "the best" in 1999 (which is what premiers means), is a criticism of the system, not of you.

 

[eastaugh36]

man your dumb ! the fact is that - LAST YEAR WITHOUT HIRD ESSENDON WON THE MINOR PREMIERSHIP !!!!!!!!!! that is fact which therefore proves we can win games without him playing !

 

[The Dutchman!]

Rooboy, no worries mate - I'd certainly be following the same niggle line if I was in your shoes.

That said, I think winning the Minor Premiership four times in the last 11 years (90,93,99,00) for 2 flags is at least breaking even as long as we turn that into one or two more flags. Conversely I think 2 flags (and the last one the equivalent of the door prize) from 7 PFs is a very poor return (I would be v.unhappy with that).

As for the 'No JH No Dons theory':

I think everyone knows how good Essendon are with or without Hird - 44 out of the last 49 and a night flag with Hird playing in less than half of those gamesspeaks for itself ...
I think North fans are (and should be) all eternally grateful for Essendon's inaccuracy in the 99PF (and good luck to them)...
I know the Roos are dead set terrified of playing us now - with or without Hird - have been for the past two years - what is it now? A collective margin of around 300+ in the last 5 games (not including the Night GF)? Reason? Essendon respect North enough to really turn it on against them... unlike Carlscum for whom they seldom get of first gear...

All the best
Dutch

Ps. Keep that left guard up Easty

 

[walshy1993]

the real point is nth supporters are narrow minded, rooboy laugh all you want now but we all know the realistic future post-wayne carey
two games in canberra next year
as if canberra wasnt boring enough, the people are going to have to watch the kangaroos, predictable and boring style of football

 

[Eagle_Fan]

Is Carey still standing by his decision to quit at 31? I'd heard it was back to Wagga pretty much as soon as he had that birthday. Still true, or will he hang on? (Or drag it out longer, depending on how you see it

)

Very Good and you also let a Premiership go again... and we know what really matters... don't we Dan...

C'mon Rooboy

Pick on someone your own size... I notice you gave my post a very wide berth...

[Rooboy 96]

Easty... we are past that arguement boy... come on... catch up... let me explain... we are now comparing the success of the best team in Victoria and Essendon...

Now that you know where we are going with this debate... get on board... hop to it... as the Kangaroo boys say...
