Vintage Bay Mofra's Bottom 50 - 2015 Edition

[royals1922]

Now for the T shirt.

vjknight , you have the franchise.....

 

[4thebloods]

Surprisingly he averaged 1.5 goals per game

Mofra brilliant as always. But the highlight of the off season is now over and there's a shed load of downtime until something happens in the footy world apart from somebody getting way to excited about player x training the house down or Harley Bennell getting arrested and adding to Freo's legacy of dud trades.

In the mean time please regale us with Mofra's Redemption list paying homage to those who have seen bottom 50 inclusion as a wake up call, lifted their game, despudified themselves and been removed from the list.

Potential, the Stefan Martin experience and Jesse White a few that spring to mind. If nothing else it would provide an easy excuse to revisit great prior inclusions.

Bay if you are with me please join the chorus to pressure Mofra into it.

Anyone got an early market on the top 10 in next year's bottom 50?
- Who got paid this off season?
- Which free agent left Melbourne and went elsewhere?
- Who did Carlton pick up?

 

[gutsroy]

A journey that started with the Skinflute and took us on an all stops journey via 'Gorringe County' and even included a quick Snapchat Bootsma cameo fittingly ends with a man who as a professional footballer failed to complete a 3km time trial. Mofra, however, has finished like a champion greyhound.

At the end of the day, Mofra's trying to put Tiger Balm on this jungle's nuts, those questioning the Bottom 50 are sitting around making sweaters.

Credit where it's due, that right there is pure rolled gold.

But seriously. Boyd was worse than Sylvia. Look at this:



Col cost $300k and did at least two pressers – one where he arrived and one where he got sacked.

Check out all that sweet sweet branding back there…. it's even being reproduced in pieces deriding him.... somebody say MAKE MONEY MONEY MAKE MONEY MONEY MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Boyd cost $8 million and did what? **** all.

COL = VALUE

No wonder the Dogs are broker than a Greek banker.

I agree. Colin actually had a better 2015 than 2014 for Freo. He got himself off the books without the club having to pay out his full salary. That is quality, much better than these other spuds like "Butcher" who are not only liabilities on the field, they are still stealing a list spot off a potential superstar.

It's a bit like everyone voting butterfingers Darling the Leon over J0.0sh Kennedy. Stuffing up is considered worse than not being there, that is why there were much bigger spuds to take out the number 1 spot this year.

On the bright side, another consolation prize for the cabinet. No more empty cabinet jpegs from now on please.

 

[Allikat]

To be fair, I'd move to a town for a good vanilla slice too

Colin even got that wrong! The vanilla slices near Freo are amazing, just ask our training watchers.

 

[see see]

Anyway Col's WAFL form tells the tale of his 2015 beset by more low points than Nick Maxwell standing on a ladder.

Nice

 

[blackshadow]

Great finish Mofra and a top notch bottom 50!

Some pure gold in the Col Sylvia post .

 

[JoseMourinho]

Colon finally is number 1 in something.

 

[maxmustard]

Great thread, deserving winner.

Hey you done the cost analysis on Hirdy yet?

 

[Ant_]

Lol Bunker is such kill joy, probably a Little fan as well.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Fremantle should have known what they were getting. A bloke who actually had to be told by a magistrate to not kick his girlfriend - fortunately, those days are behind her as she now cunningly disguises herself as a football whenever she's in Col's presence.

Tremendous.

Was hoping for Hird though. Like Bootsma last year, his unparalleled services to spuddery deserved a bending of the rules to give him the #1 spot.

Stella effort Mofra

 

[September Action]

Another Bottom 50 over.

Now all I've got to look forward to is Xmas and 2 weeks camping on a beach .

Thanks Mofra

P.S. Do you text your write ups while you're flying?
P.P.S. Is that legal??

 

[leobarryustar]

Thanks Mofra you're a champ.

Now the season is truly over.

I guess i'll have to watch the cricket.

F***.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Hey you done the cost analysis on Hirdy yet?

I’ve actually thought of doing a full comparison of crises: ASAGA vs Boyd

Tom Boyd comfortably a more costly and damaging exercise.

Lol Bunker is such kill joy, probably a Little fan as well.

You say that like there’s people who aren’t fans of Little….

???

 

[bontshow]

Happy to be proven wrong by dog's fans but he actually had a semi OK year. I was a bit surprised when he got delisted.

Yeah he was alright, played 18 games in an unfamiliar role. I thought we could have kept him on for Prudden or moved Clay Smith (3 ACL's) to the rookie list, and given him another year to work on his tank and playing up the ground instead of in the forward line

 

[SydCrow]

you had me at #1 Luke Hodge

beautiful climax Mofra and TOTY for mine

When is Clay Smith due back? 2017?

 

[bontshow]

He did his 3rd one in May this year, I think the club is planning a conservative approach this time so we shouldn't expect to see him pull the boots on at any level until at least May 2016. I think we are planning to put him on the LTI to elevate Adcock from the rookie list

 

[bontshow]

Mofra I'm definitely one of the 5% who appreciate your efforts. I have been checking this thread every day and it will be a big letdown when I do the same tomorrow out of habit only to realise it's all over

A great choice of #1, I'm not sure we will see such a dramatic slide from a 150 game player in his prime ever again

Thought I'd read an article saying the club were going down the traditional path and were happy to do it the right way however long it takes. Cheers.


Also agree RE: Mof's effort. Cheers for all the work that's gone into this Fred. Hoping for moaaarr Steve Morris next year tho

Quality thread as always Moffy!
