In 2001, don’t expect to see ...

... Alastair Lynch receive a “get-well-soon” card from the Western Bulldogs.

... Four & Twenty Pies new advertising slogan – “Now with 20% less Rat!”

... Damn24 post anything that doesn’t mention “Essendon” at least twice.

... Gary Ayres still coaching the Crows in July.

... your car parked where you left it after a Port Adelaide home game.

... anyone in Victoria giving a flying f@ck about the "eagerly-awaited" Fremantle versus West Coast clash.

... Hawthorn merchandise which is actually brown and yellow in colour (since when do Hawthorn wear blue???).

... Richmond supporters complaining about long queues for finals tickets.

... Eddie McGuire start a sentence which doesn’t begin with the word ‘I’.

... Mick Malthouse smile.

... a Sydney Swans fan who knows what the hell they’re talking about.

... a Melbourne Storm fan who isn’t a Maori.

... an Essendon supporter emerge from puberty.

... a Kangaroos fan, period.

... Craig Bradley lay a tackle.

... Lance Whitnall’s eyebrows

... Michael Long anywhere near a contest next time Essendon play the Demons.

... James Hird anywhere near a contest at all.

... a Geelong tall forward move.

... a Bulldogs fan with all his teeth.

There is a much better chance of that happening than the following ...

Matty Richardson take an uncontested mark and convert the goal 20m out, directly in front, to win a Round 22 game to get Richmond into the finals ...

If Richo marks 20 metres out, directly in front, he would be well advised to march 30 metres back to the 50 metre arc, and take the kick from the boundary line, because they're the only ones he seems to bloody well kick!!

Know exactly what you mean there TT - LOL !

still, he ain't alone - last year alone there were some absoilutely unbelievable misses at goal.

Still remembr Round 9 of 2000 Sydney v Port and Port was killing us on the ground but the shooting for goal was laughable. Primus especially, he had one set shot and it would have been no more than 15m out directly in front - he missed it by so much it barely snuck in for a behind.

shocking - just shocking.

cheers
 
You are right BSA, but I stand by my view that Richo is the worst "goal-choke" in the league.

Having said that, if Richardson plays 22 games this year, Richmond will make the finals.

John Elliott to keep his opinions to himself.

Leigh Colbert to be forgiven by Geelong fans.

David Mensch not slagged by cat fans.

The price of food at the footy drop

Richmond make the finals

An overseas horse win the melbourne cup.

nathan buckley to give off to a team mate.

Sam Newman not in the news

Carlton give aaron hamill a standing ovation, unless he is carried off on a stretcher!!
 
Rex Hunt to use the actual name of the player during commentary rather than the nickname he's given him.

Mike Sheahan to write an article titled, "I was wrong".

Patrick Smith to write an article without any sarcasm.

Caroline Wilson to write an article that doesn't make you want to throw up.

Essendon fans wishing they could have David Calthorpe back.

Actually, Essendon fans even admitting that an opposition player could even get a place in their starting 18.

Shane Clayton and/or Adam Simpson passing the ball into the chest of Wayne Carey.

Shannon Grant gets a hard ball get.

So does Matthew Lloyd.

And the entire Richmond midfield.

Speaking of Richmond, Tiger fans admitting that even with Richo, they wouldn't make the finals.

Garry Hocking appears with a non-mullet haircut.

Darren Jarman plays a full four quarters. With Ayres's blessing.

Ken Judge accepts the blame for a loss.

Michael Voss, James Hird, and Chris Grant all drop the magic F word during a TV interview.

Nathan Buckley admits on TV, "I was wrong to leave Brisbane".

Fremantle admit, "Forget youth and potential, we're just incompetent".

Don't expect to see:

... Wayne Campbell get an invite to Matthew Knight's birthday party.

... Frazer Gehrig get an invite to anyone's birthday party.

... Buddha Hocking get any prettier.

... Wayne Carey's bald spot get any smaller.

... a hot dog at Colonial that is actually 'hot'.

... a cold drink at Colonial that is actually 'cold'.

... Voice of the 'G' (Yes!)

... the Richmond 'Roar-o-meter' in any way reflect the amount of noise Richmond supporters are actually making at any given time.

... a runner that doesn't look utterly ridiculous in his fluorescent T-shirt.

... a Crows fan if they lose 4 in a row.

... a Carlton fan who isn't driving a VL Commodore with fluffy dice, mags and a cheap plastic rear spoiler.

... anyone keep a straight face the next time a Carlton supporter bleats about "chequebook recruiting".

Further more, don't expect to see:

Denis Pagan to give a straight answer to a question.

Wayne Carey saying, "Yeah, my 12 goals today won the match, my teammates were f****** useless".

Libba being quiet for the entire match.


And what we'd like to see.....

Malcolm Blight calling "Tim Elliot the most pathetic ruckman that he's ever seen".
 
other things to NOT happen in 2001:

North supporters filling the top deck of the Ponsford stand

Opposition supporters not booing Wayne Carey

Essendon supporters expanding their player recognition beyond "Lloydy" or "Hirdy"

Craig Bradley to get mud on his shorts

Silvagni to get pinged for holding

Brisbane to not get "robbed by the umpires" in a close game

Cheers
