Big percentage booster for the Clowns over the next couple weeks. The only thing that stands in their way of a top 4 finish is us.

You mean if we lose, we win

What is it with the coaches for the Womens' league. Crows saying they will search the same way they did for Walsh and Pyke, (close and) far and wide. The women only play for 8 weeks over the off season so how would that work? Also hope they keep their thieving hands off ours.

Lol. Unless there is an unjustifiably large salary attached (which there might be), I'm not sure anybody would seriously bother with this.

So, is there a Chinese cat B rookie possibility sitting in our zone?

If they don't employ female head coaches (male assistants are fine) then it's a ****ing sham.

A Yao Ming type would be handy

Heard him on SEN today he actually spoke quite well but they seem to have a funny idea of what a quality player is over there or do you just get away with it at Richmond? I mean he was serviceable at best & diabolical at his worst for the vast majority of his career, I can't imagine him even on a VFL/AFL list in the old days with fewer clubs.

Charlie Chokelin, the campaigner's campaigner!

Hahaha so now it's the fault of the 23-29 year olds Troy?! Arbitrary age bracket is arbitrary.

Don't say we didn't warn you Tiger's fans.

Careful fiddy.... "Muddy Waters" will hunt you down

Do saints have a chance Saturday?

Do saints have a chance Saturday?

I reckon they've got a huge chance but unfortunately it probably doesn't matter anymore as far as we're concerned.

 

[LFC2010]

Do saints have a chance Saturday?

yep, Norf are only thinking about themselves as it's all about that campaigner Harvey this week.

Saints to spoil the party for me just cause the Saints are a little more likeable cause of the Richo factor.

Pretty frustrating to think they have overtaken us

Not quite, unfortunately due to the structure of the competition the table DOES lie.

I there was a bottom 8 comp, we would be favourites (thankfully there isn't).

 

[Coobk001]

Yeah I think we've clearly shown we're the number 9 team in the comp. Not quite good enough for top 8, but better than the rest.

Would think that the Kangas will beat the Saints and then they'll take care of the wounded Dogs and lock away their finals spot. If they do lose this week it'll make things interesting but I just can't see it happening.

err.. you mean number 10 team in the comp?

As per above, we're talking about if there was a bottom 10 competition formed right now we think we'd be the favs. The draw can throw up some anomalies, and we're saying we believe we're the best out of the 8.

I think we are too but we deserve to be doubted as being top 8 material. Our top tier players are up there with the best in the competition but our second tier are substandard to me, atleast in performance.

Will be an interesting off season.

 

[Full Credit]

With the result not really mattering either way for us all i can say is I really hope the Saints absolutely smash the Kangas this weekend and rain all over that arrogant little ballhog Harvey's parade. Worst most selfish 427 game player in the history of the comp.

See this is a clear case of a cognitive dissonance between where we are at. If there was a bottom 10 comp right now we are not favourites, we are a very average team.
