Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[DapperDon]

Peter Gordon is weak as piss.

He's basically said Macca did nothing wrong, but old players are upset that he does things differently than kiss their arseholes.

I hope our club comes out and makes a statement on behalf of the other clubs, time to become the vindictive pricks we all want us to be.

 

[DapperDon]

well it seems like there's a chance BMac has more or less genuinely resigned so it could be a bit different...

Yep. Resigned.

He had 2 choices really, walk with a bit of dignity or be forced.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

What a disgraceful press conference.

 

[Kong]

So Sando, Macca and Bluey were all heavily heavily involved in that show on the coaches - The Chosen Few. Guess who else was a big part of the show... Bucks. Interesting.

That'll teach them to share company secrets.

Next we'll have them in recorded conferences, confessing to heinous crimes.

I mean, I don't think it's crazy to say that the Bulldogs didn't particularly want him to go, but BMac seems like the sort of guy that would react to his captain quitting the team by questioning his own tenability

And that's coaching. AFL coaches are not nearly afforded the opportunity to better themselves than they used to be. Disgraceful Bulldogs. Just a shit effort all round.

 

[CourtzMajora]

Honestly, if a club captain said he wants to walk, causes a shit storm and is one of the main reasons your senior coach got the flick I would not want him back at the club.

If I was a Footscray fan I'd be livid.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Says Gordon:

These events have traumatised our club in the past few weeks.

Diddums.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

hahahaha oh Purple, you just can't help yourself can you

Somehow by sacking their coach now the Bulldogs have fallen behind clubs such as Essendon, who haven't sacked their coach, in searching for a new coach.

What a classic

 

[Kong]

Yep. Resigned.

He had 2 choices really, walk with a bit of dignity or be forced.

or go to court amirite

 

[Jobe Watson]

I feel really sorry for Peter Gordon at the moment.

Chin(s) up champ.

 

[Eleven 38]

And I thought our president was stupid.

 

[Beerfish]

Guys I've moved all the Honk Kong talk to the politics thread in The Hangar. Please continue the discussion there if you wish to do so.

Thanks.

 

[DapperDon]

They have completely lost the plot.

"We will play finals for the next 10 years"

Holy Shit, just stop now and walk away

 

[Tassieboy]

Once upon a time players didn't run the club. Although I don't think anyone's ever run Footscray. Perhaps the AFL?

 

[Jesse Custer]

Bring Macca back?

 

[Mercurial89]

Bring Macca back?

Macca Bomber and Sando at GC would be pretty scary.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Macca Bomber and Sando at GC would be pretty scary.

Wep, Dank...

The gang's all here.

The question is, would everyone start caterwauling about how they're copying Geelong like when we did it? Shit, they'll even have Ablett.

Once upon a time players didn't run the club.

well they are the most important part.

 

[CakeButcher]

This code is the national sport of Australia; granted it is probably the only billion dollar industry where umpiring /admin rules are made up as we go along, but the least a club chairman can do when 'sacking' a coach publicly is call him by his ****ing name.

Senior players are almost Gen Y's now. Better get used to this sort of thing

Makes table arrangements easy for the 07 reunion.

 

[Pevers-Legend]

What?

Gen Y is anyone 1980 onwards i.e. 34 and down.

How many 34+ yr olds are playing?

 

[Phone]

oh my god if one more person talks about generation y

 

[rines]

I thought one individual wasn't bigger than the club??

I guess it was just shocking that we think a coach is more important than a gossip columnist??
