I Confess I Was Wrong Thread

[Heaps of fun]

I thought people overrated Nic Nat and he was more flash than substance.

Amazing how so many posters love to continue to be wrong about this.

2002 - After winning the VFL grand final with a bunch of new kids looking okay (and David Mensch kicking a crucial late goal) I made the bold call that these guys were truly special, and given time, the perennially mediocre Geelong side would finally win the AFL flag in 2008.

Despite coming from nowhere to win either side of that year, as well as being truly dominant in 2008, my friends never fail to remind me that technically, I was wrong.

He makes a massive difference to the team, I don't know how you can still deny that.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

For some reason I thought Belle Gibson was Mel's daughter

 

[Iva Bigun]

I thought Harley Bennell was on the wrong path

Am I doing this right?

I don't think people argue that. Maybe people see him as inconsistent?

Unstoppable monster?? Roughhead was BOG last week v Hurley. Will be interesting if he goes to are Riewoldt after what he did to him last year.

Hurley played on the ball?

Hurley beat Roughead when Roughead played forward, however, Roughead primarily spent his time in the midfield.

I thought Patrick Karnezis would be a 20-25 disposal, 1 goal a game average on baller for us, and could be our Steve Johnson.

I was wrong, Jack Crisp however is producing what I hoped Karnezis would.

I thought John Butcher was going to be a 200 game 500 goal player.

Without me doing research on him. He he still chance to be good......even if he went to a lower club like Brisbane?

If a club could fix his confidence and kicking he would be one of the best forwards in the comp.

He just reminds me so much of Ben Griffiths at Richmond. Yes, Griffiths has flaws but seems to have played an acceptable role this year.

 

[PaddleFoot]

I thought Goodes was cooked.

Nah Butcher is pretty much cooked at this point. He's bein played in defence in the ressies. Shows how much faith the coaches have in him

 

[WCE_phil]

Butcher is shot which is a shame. He certainly had the talent. Continued complications with his back and a complete lack of confidence in his kicking and it's all gone downhill.

Will be gone at seasons end. He is so mentally shot it aint funny, quite sad to see him moping around in the SANFL getting towelled up most weeks. Maybe a change of scenery will spark him into action

I was wrong. So wrong. Port Adelaide won't make the grand final and lose to Fremantle.

*my pre-season prediction/hunch*

 

[Son_Of_God29]

As a Cats man it hurts to say it but I thought that Geelong would just turn up in 2008 and win the flag......boy was i wrong and Big Footy never lets me forget it

I thought Essendon was guilty of doping, but would get off. Then I thought they were innocent and would get heavily punished. Then I thought they were guilty and would be found guilty. Then I thought they were innocent and would be found innocent.

Then my head hurt.

Story of my life really.

 

[The full package]

Thought port would be top 4 in 2015
Thought essendon wouldn't be coached by hird in 2015

 

[ioppolo]

I thought we'd be bottom 4 candidates. Especially after round 1.

 

[QS]

I'm female, therefore I'm never wrong

Except for this post?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I thought when clawed back a huge deficit to beat Essendon in Round 1 and clinically took apart Port in Round 2 it meant we were really good.

 

[SacTown15]

I thought Jack Watts was going to justify his no.1 pick title and that it just took tall forwards a while to develop

 

[OldMateMuff]

I broke the dam
