I Confess I Was Wrong Thread

#vonnwaswrong

Isn't that a minor paradox.

 

[JackOutback]

I confess that, despite the end of last year, I was pretty confident Gold Coast would at least be challenging for the finals. I also thought GWS were still way off the mark.

Different sport, but I've never been more wrong about someone than Steven Smith. Didn't think he was a cricketer's arseh*le. I've been owning up to that one for the past 12 months (and hopefully the next three).

 

[Hardhat11]

I wrong about my mob .....I said bottom 4

I said Fyfe was a gun but not the best player in the game .?WRONG

I said Buckley couldn't coach ....wrong

I said Hird was a fool ......I was wrong ....he's a really really big fool

 

[justbetter]

i thought i could open up this tube of pringles and just have a few, and leave the rest for another time.... I was WRONG

 

[Percel]

My mum told me it would fall off, she was wrong.

 

[askdotcom]

I was wrong that i thought this year had some hope.

 

[Richo83]

I thought Footscray and West Coast would miss the finals. I thought that Essendon players would be hit by the ASADA punishments.

 

[BPikkers]

I thought I'd get some action tonight.....totally WRONG!!!

 

[The Speaker]

I was certain Fremantle would win the premiership in 2013 and then 2014.

 

[Headless]

I had an inkling that Melbourne would win more than eight games at least once in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015.

Oh boy.

-Thought John Anthony was the second coming of Phil Carmen halfway through 2009.

-This was going to be Josh Thomas' break out year, and he was going to be a Priddis type midfielder

-Michael Hurley would never come good and was on the Courtney Johns express.

-Thought James Kelly was no good until about 2009.

-Barry Hall would be no good at Western Bulldogs.

-Elliot Yeo would be no good. He's proving me wrong now!! (So did the above two)

 

[Magma]

i didnt think i'd want anything in the bad merch thread

i was wrong

 

[Bobblefighter]

I was wrong about Priddis. I can see how he won the Brownlow last year. Amazing clearance machine.

 

[Reservoir tiger]

Midway through 2011 I couldnt believe Alex rance was on an afl list let alone getting a regular senior game.

 

[coniglio_number1]

I thought Mumford was too short to have a meaningful impact in the ruck.

I deserve to be shirtfronted by him

 

[RightYouAreThen]

Andrew Mackie being a clean upstanding role model...

 

[Off The Couch]

I thought schoenmaker was going to be a good foil for rough when buddy left

I thought west coast were crap watching them in round 1

I thought the essendon saga would be done and dusted and players would have started serving their suspensions

I WAS WRONG

I'm not going back further than this season, I will be here all night

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I thought west coast were crap watching them in round 1

I have no issues with people writing us off at the start of the season - hell I was on that bandwagon too

However the Rd 1 match against the bullies was a belter of a game - surprised you thought we were crap then

Our next 3 or 4 were bog ordinary, including a couple of big wins and the Freo loss

 

[Illinois Nazi]

I haven't been wrong about anything.

Wrong.

 

[xxxWillxxx]

I thought in this sensitive modern feelings era nobodywould ever beat the blunt honesty of the sledge given to stephen milne by mick malthouse on an afl ground.

Sam Mitchell proved me wrong

 

[WALDENPOND]

I guess watching Jack Anthony's early games where he played well, and then watching him kick a winning goal in a final didn't help but for quite some time I would say he could still be a forward weapon. Although I still check out his stats at the Southport Sharks...I was wrong about that in the end.

 

[Whats a Battle]

I thought that when the Scray pushed out Brendan McCartney due to 'player power' that they would be finishing near the bottom for the next few years. Glad to say I was wrong on that one.

 

[Off The Couch]

I have no issues with people writing us off at the start of the season - hell I was on that bandwagon too

However the Rd 1 match against the bullies was a belter of a game - surprised you thought we were crap then

Our next 3 or 4 were bog ordinary, including a couple of big wins and the Freo loss

I was at that game and the skill level was appalling - I actually messaged my nephew and told him that it was going to be a long year for eagle supporters - suffice to say, he has been messaging me weekly

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

The older I get, the more I realise that often the right thing to say is "I'm sorry, I was wrong".

 

[Handsome_Jack]

I genuinely, 100% convinced myself that Butcher would be a reliable 50+ goals a season forward for us by now. Would be more of a surprise if he WASN'T delisted at the end of the year at the moment.
