Collingwood, you got nothing to play for

C'mon Swanny, be that bad influence we know you can be.

Hahaha I should have mentioned a crocodile.

I sort of took care of it for our board in post #1530

 

[powermacs]

Not really. He hasn't torn games up with the Magpies so as with many players it's a leap of faith to put them in the AFL team. We can't have been desperate to see him in action as he's contracted for another year. So it's probably based on attitude, training, meeting KPIs and the like; rather than spectacular play.

Na, he's played some very good football for the maggies. Hardly a leap of faith or a token selection.

Hate saying this, but go the Hawks tomorrow. If it means the AFC lose the double chance I'd go for anyone

Yeah I said nothing about a token selection. Bonner's OK with the Maggies but his selection absolutely was a leap of faith. Might just as easily have been Houston. Palmer, Austin and Snelling were much more clearly due a chance.
But then when the time comes who knows who succeeds at AFL level and who doesn't? Players like Kane Mitchell and Sam Colquhoun look really good in the SANFL but not in the AFL. And so on.

The weekend hasn't been a total disaster, has it. Sarge sent off with a win and 3 goals and then other things happened too to put a smile on the dial.

Crows lost, Derby lost, Port won, hopefully Forest make up the Quaddy

If there's any justice in this world the hawks will win tomorrow. People like David Penberthy don't deserve any joy in their lives, none at all.

 

[Greasyrhys]

I'll definitely be praying for a Howks win to ensure the cows will host Dad's Army in a knockout final.

Speaking of #lolnorf, Petrie would wanna play a helluva lot better than his dismal 4 touch, no score game tonight.

 

[philreich]

Darren Jarman is fair dinkum obese. Not just fat he is a blob on legs. What a disgrace.

I believe the Crows run laps around Jarman at training. I've heard the record is 5 laps......

Has Kate changed her name?

Saving himself for next week against the Cows ya hope. I'll barrack for anyone else playing #lolnorf but never for the West Lakes Whingers.

Port Forum until next year....

Port barracking for the Hawks!
Human sacrifice!
Dogs and cats living together!
MASS HYSTERIA!!!

I dunno, Colquhoun doesn't look much different in the SANFL to what he does in the AFL. Just a slow, one paced accumulator with no penetration in his kick. Bonner has looked a likely type who could take his game onto the bigger stage all year.

The Crows could be playing the Taliban in a knock out final, and I'd still be hesitant about who to barrack for.

 

[Kickpuncher]

I actually don't mind the off season on here a lot of the "kick us while we're down" posters disappear for the summer.

Bombers aren't playing finals this year

Replaced with "Jimmy will surprise a lot of people and be a valuable part of our 22" and "Dixon for coleman. Bet on it!" people during trade week.

Heaps of optimism and lots of room for off topic stuff. Also I generally learn a heap because I don't keep up with the draft.

At least the "Welcome Back Paddy & Gus" thread will be a good one.

This is true.

Oh s**t, crows will probably play Norf. s**t s**t s**t
