I knew this would be your reply. Standard md practice to cry foul and totally disregard the point being made when it doesn't suit your agenda.

How am I crying foul?

That is exactly what you did and somehow I'm disregard something?

Lol well done I think it's you that made a moronic analogy and is now trying to make it about me again.

I've made my opinion of Griff known since the day he left I've never changed it and won't just to suit others hurt feelings.

If people cannot look at both sides of the story and realise exactly why Griff left then they have the issue not me.

PAthetic blind bias from some. Lol but it's my agenda.

Clap clap

Ps funny how people still can't mention the f$$$$$ng hole that coach left us in and somehow make Griff the evil one. Hmmmm I wonder why?

Sarcasm is not really gonna cut it so leave off with the claps etc. it's beneath both of us I would like to think. My analogy was blunt but served its purpose pretty clearly in a tongue in cheek way.

Good on you for holding your position on Griff. I have no issue at all with that.

But too extrapolate that out to him being a contributor to our flag is an insult to all those that did actually make it happen. Poor form.

I said without him leaving we wouldn't have a flag.

That is an unarguable FACT no one can debate mate.

Now regardless what side of the fence you sit on with Griff his leaving made our flag possible.

It's not an in arguable fact. Unless you can know the future or predict different timelines. You can say it's unlikely but it's certainly not a fact.
I don't think you understand the meaning of fact.

I think Griffen,Cooney and Higgins all leaving helped us win the flag. All our cards fell into place in so many ways.
Good footballers but not premiership material and selfish attitudes,a bit of a clean out really sparked the club and gave the chance for genuine team men to shine.

I dont believe anyone here was claiming that McCartney was going to win us a flag, lets not turn one discussion into something completely off track.

At the time with McCartney's mantra not residing well with the playing group, several players decided at that time their future would be better elsewhere. Higgins, Jones, Cooney, and some other bloke that also went to Carlton. Other players loyal to the club made a stand and approached management. McCartney had to go. McCartney's deficiencies were well known in that he was limited as a development coach.

Griffen chose well before that point to head elsewhere.

Why do we have to keep going over irrelevant sit.. Its water under the bridge now, we won another AFL AND VFL premiership 2 seasons later.

Mate I made a comment and then others responded

I haven't mentioned the worst coach in history for months sorry I thought this was a forum we could discuss things on.

My apologies

Just to change the subject.
I will say up front the woman's comp has never held any interest for me and never really watched any of it until the other night . whoever was able to get that onto prime time telly is a genius !
After 15 minutes I was in danger of poking my own eyes out , no other way to describe it but shocking !

I expect now to be called sexist , so there it is , I'm ready for you !

Yeah I'm sexist also it's utter garbage to watch in my opinion but as I've said before I wish them all the best. I struggle to watch sub par sport men's or womans.

I've also noticed the people jumping up and down about it at the start of the year are now very quiet on it the dogs team aren't winning.

There wasn't even a thread for the game in the weekend versus the pies.

I didn't know what to expect , and was a little shocked how bad it is.
I have no doubt it will improve over the longer term and I also wish them all well , but I can see the interest dropping off very quickly.
By the way the result the other night had nothing to do with my current opinion.
And on in prime time slots is a measure of how low TV has sunk to these days.

I've seen a fair bit of women's footy in my time and there is no disputing their effort and love for the game. It's simply something that I don't think is good to watch.

I'm very interested to find out where it's water level of interest is because it will not continue prime time on major channels it will not have the audience once the novelty wears off. In time i think it will end up on one of the major channels extra channels.

I also wonder how many people will go once an admission is charged? Personally I think it should remain free and the AFL carry the cost.

I wasn't referring to you when I said interest has dropped mate. I've always thought that once teams fall away the interest will plummet and even our own forum is backing that up.

Ps AWFUL injury to Sheahan. First game in the Comp after all the hard work and for that to happen is no good. Hope she gives it another crack.

Is there a point of relevance which hasnt been discussed before? What we don't need is shit fights between posters over topics that are history. Discussing a subject is one thing, rhetoric for the sake of arguing is another.

I made a comment that's it but again it's apparently me.

Lol keep going

We all can't be 100% right like you are all the time lately.

And people call me arrogant
I'm not always right but I at least don't try to pull shit out of my arse, present it as true and call things facts that clearly aren't.


I didn't call you names or play the man. I disputed your argument and your response was to directly make things up that I know aren't true and then whinge that I'm trying to be 100% right and arrogant. It's painful and you used to be better than this.

Sorry Mike. Will stop for my part. Just wanted to stop the revisionist version of history being presented. I have done that. Carry on.

And the things that you know are true I believe to be crap also. I have a totally different story from the club than you so who is right?

By this its ou and anyone that fisputes you is wrong. Wowee pot kettle maybe.

Chris Grant was not even in the meeting in referring to so how could he comment on it? So perhaps check YOUR info before your sprout garbage and then accuse others of the exact same thing.

And I've never changed but on the other hand you have become an arrogant argumentative know all lately and anyone that argues against you is wrong and uninformed.

I stand by my comments in what I've been told happened and your entitled to do the same but don't accuse me of making cr&p up simply Coz you think your right. Oh and by the way the club does lie and if you believe everything that comes out of any club then that's your error

Cunnington just got one of the worst MRP decisions that will happen this year. Has to challenge that, there was nothing he could do there. Very stiff
