Mike Sheahan's Article

[PieLebo87]

Do we have a new fan?

About time he admit his mistakes!

Also found it disrespectful when naming our star players this year, he mentions Shaw ...(Heath)

What? Hasnt Rhyce done good enough for ya?

 

[FadeAway]

who gives a shit what he writes, he is a tool anyway! Doesnt rate us...i prefer it how it is with everyone writing us off. When we do make finals this year it will show how much rubbish they all talk tipping us to finish bottom 4!!!

Mike Sheahan can go jump off the Westgate all i care. What a typical band wagoner

 

[FIGJAM]

Our season is now over. This bloke hasn't been right about anything ever!

AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

We don’t need Sheehan on our bandwagon. He is an averager of other people’s opinions. He would have had no idea why he thought we would be crap and wouldn’t know why we are exceeding expectations.

Shytey has been trying to throw Mick under a bus for years which helps explain his (along with other News limmited journalists) vendetta against our club. I like the above description, Mike's a 'converger of opinion' he offers no new insights into Collingwood or the game and merely regurgitates what other people have told him. I no longer find him interesting or relevant and give his "articles" a huge miss.

a person who rates sandilands ahead of kerr in his "top" 50 opinion counts for nothing

Good point Chip. Our football journos work together, hang around together, drink together and (surprise, surprise!) end up with much the same opinions on pretty-well everything. It's called 'groupthink' and it never ceases to amaze me just how out of touch with reality (and wider opinion) they are on so many issues. The other phenomenon relevant to our club is wishful thinking: they want us to fail and, consequently, have little difficulty in coming up with reasons (as a group) why that will happen. Reality and objective reasoning has stuff all to do with their deliberations. It's not just Sheahan - most of them are appalling.

 

[WakeUpPies]

agreed, he can go kill himself, no one will care

Aye...

The man (correct me if I'm wrong) is a nonce.

That is one of the most insightful posts I have read for a long time!

Next thing we know he'll put Tarkyn Lockyer in the top 50!! Sif!

Haha.

Lockyer >> Judd

 

[DWil6]

Haha.

Lockyer >> Judd

Judd who? Oh, you mean Ashley Judd? Well she's kinda cute but i'm confident Tarks has her covered in most areas of football. In fact i overheard her saying she wants to have Tark's baby!! Father/son rule... come on!

Rohan Connoley - had us last. Didn't realise Thomas was that good. He's hardly carried us Rohan. Some kids he'd never heard of. First of that's your job Rohan and secondly while they have impressed at times the 3 debutants haven't exactly carried the side either. He has no idea why we are going well and had no idea when he assessed the list pre season.

Good on him and he has also backed the roos and Hawthorn. Personally i think that they will have a similar season like we did in 2000. Look really good for the first few rounds and fall off the crowd and win few more. Hawthorn was in my eight. They are a very underrated team. Franklin at this time is a certainty for All-Australian selection.
