Yes, it is.

Why would we give the slightest toss?

Yes, it is.

It's a good thing Richmond have won 3 of the last 4 flags.

It has allowed us to have a group of supporters that are as insufferable as West Coke supporters.

 

[Purple Jesus]

You were talking about Oscar Judd and Carlton. Whether you give a toss or not is your problem.

No I meant for your little stories and anecdotes. Why would you think to yourself 'oh i'll pop over to teh freo board while a neutral game is on and wax lyrical about some shitful clubs lucky flag' How does judd's kid (judd who clearly doesn't give an ounce of a s**t about your club) loop back around to some fanciful flag tale? on freo's board, during a neutral game? mind boggles.

In a thread talking about teams other than Freo?

Why take it personally? It was a dig at Carlton after all.

Not sure why I need to explain something so obvious.

Still not sure why you're here. Probably can't expect much some someone with sexualised kids tv show characters as an avatar though.

Feel free to ask the mods to slap a 'No opposition supporters' tag on the thread if you wish. Until then, I'm free to comment provided I abide by the rules, which I have.

Dev Robertson exhibit A against overhyped Vic Metro ‘ superstars ‘

Give the WA kids a couple of years to catch up on the professionalism and the pick 20’s from WA and SA end up just as good if not better

Robertson , Starcevich , Rivers , Allen , Bailey the list goes on

Geelong are playing like they’ve just missed out on the best young ruckman in the comp & look very old & slow.

 

[Scham]

Good win by Brisbane. Geelong just didn’t travel and will be back firing when next in Vic.

 

[showemhowtorock]

The dumbest thing about the Suns isn't the draft concessions or the subsidies. It's the thought process that high draft picks and extra cash will make a successful club

the extra cash isn't to make them it's a successful club, it's literally just to keep them a club at all given they don't make any of their own money.

That's the thing with Freo really, we are the most successful of the irrelevant clubs. Where they need handouts and priority picks we make do without so they don't do anything to help us

Good to see Geelong lose.

Huge NicNat fan apparently. He was sitting with Bec in the crowd behind Sheed when he kicked the winning goal in 2018. Judd used to joke that he'd wear WCE socks under Carlton gear at games.

Can't imagine Carlton would be much of an appealing club to follow growing up in Melbourne right now, even if your dad is on the board.

The Judd children are going to suffer from the Jack Silvagni effect—genetic regression due to having a very attractive yet athletically poor mother.

Yeah, fairly likely. Honestly, I wouldn't at all be surprised if the kids shunned a footy career and went into the business world. Footy always seemed like a means to an end for Judd to set himself up later in life.

Would I be right in saying that the Carlton result is a perfect example of how AFL fixturing can help a club’s revenue?

 

[Taylor]

Some of those clubs have significant income from pokie machines if I recall correctly, I don't believe it's considered when equalizing measures are taken either.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Say the AFL fold GC and there’s a reverse ladder draft on their list, who do you take at our pick?

Who’s the young West Aussie kid that bolted up the draft a few years ago?
