The Bulldogs and Collingwood have requested the opening match of the 2016 season.
While it wouldn't be my preferred match, it's better than Carlton v Richmond or some shit.
At least the Doggies are entertaining.

And Collingwood are usually good for the first 6 weeks

Triggy and Craigy ..... Back to the glory days hey.

And Brendan Bolton seems like such a nice bloke, he deserves better.

Just watched the highlights from Swans x Kangaroos and was surprised to see the Roos go through. So now, who do we want to win the whole thing? I have watched too little of the Eagles to have an opinion about them and I wouldn't want Hawthorn to win it again (they did their job by kicking out the Crows and that's enough). I would be even more surprised if the Roos were capable of winning a Prem Final as well, so I'm more inclined to favour Fremantle to be honest. They were the first non-Port team I ever watched very early in the season and I was impressed with Fyfe even before I knew he was such a star, so for that silly reason, I quite like him

You're welcome.

For someone who professed to being a one club (the crows) person, Cwaigy suuuuure gets around.

He meant one club at a time.

 

[PJ Power]

He meant one club at a time.

I just can't fathom how he is still being sought after (admittedly by Carlton) after his abject failures at Melbourne and Essendon. Both clubs were terrible under his watch.

And the Crows weren't that much chop under him either.

Incredibly overrated by Victorian people

At some point you would think the Crows will have to face some REAL scrutiny for losing the amount of players they have over the last few years. The media and supporters love to demonize those that have left, but when does the club itself come under some real heat? Can you imagine the media s***storm if Port had lost that kind of talent? Two quick glances at this page and theirs, and the glaring difference is that they have hundreds of pages dedicated to players that want out, and we have hundreds dedicated to players that want in....

Lol Roo is such an idiot. They had walker on the triple m this morning and roo was all "it was an embarassing performance you must feel embarassed." and there was a big pause and walker goes "...well not embarassed but certainly disappointed."

As if you say that to your captain live on air. Gee you sucked tex, you should feel bad.

Roo is a complete buffoon. Anyone who thinks he is their messiah at boardroom level is kidding themselves. Not even going into business with the players will keep them in the state. I've heard a few stories from those that have dealt with him in close quarters and he's nothing but a disrespectful and self important bogan.

Roo's influence could be quite detrimental. It seems that anything he says goes

3 times in 5 years they would have lost their best player, or at least their most important player, and thats not even including the likes of Davis, Gunston, Mattner, pushing out Vince etc. If we had have lost that amount of talent people would be out of a job.

But don't worry, they are a destination club! #thelukelowdenmassive

 

[Grave Danger]

The occasional Eddie Betts or James Podsiadly coup is enough cake to keep the masses from revolting starving.

 

[ploppy]

the crows would worry me if they still had Gunston,Tippett,Davis,Dangerfield,Vince...hahaha

But they won out on every one of those deals in the end!!! Just ask them.

I love how old bum face Cwaigy was so mentally scarred and twisted of Port that he wouldn't drive any further then before the Cheltenham cemetery , even wrinkles Cornes isn't that disturbed

If you google AFL draft and the year, then all the trades & draft picks come up for that year.

Imagine if we lost those sort players, every 'pissant' media/reporter in this state would be questioning our culture once again.
