We've tried calling it out and have been told all decisions were correctly given. Then we get bent over even more.

Sadly that is true. Another reminder why I refuse to pay any money into the league’s coffers.

 

[Waspy79]

We should focus on the problems on our own side of the fence - the problems that have seen us not contest a GF for getting close to 20 years.

Agree. Dog’s breakfast. Part of that is the construct of the constitution. A litmus test for how serious the club is on the horizon. Must push for member control of the board.

You know Eagles are pathetic when even tissue paper Fantasia is getting touches..

Harley Reid is a fat plodder. Is there still the talent underneath?

 

[gbear]

lol West Coast!

 

[chachi11]

The amount of money and draft picks being spoken about to lure Reid is absurd.

 

[ElectricG]

I have a soft spot for orazio…

 

[Chachi]

What happened to Curnow?

 

[ElectricG]

Carlton look awful in this 2nd half

The amount of money and draft picks being spoken about to lure Reid is absurd.

He looks very comfy playing for West coast, the rest of the team is so shit he just does a half arsed effort to get by.
Would be a real shock if he had to earn his spot in a reasonable side.

Last week it was age and experience that dominated. Oldest team won 7 of 8 games and the most experienced team won 6 of 8 games. Home team only won 4 of 8 games. North might be the designated home team but in reality it was a lot more away than home for its game at Bunbury vs WCE.

The previous week I said there haven't been the usual mid season, winter condition upsets. Well the upsets and youth and inexperience came to the fore in Rd 14.

5 of the 7 games were won by the youngest team, and the same 5 games were won by the least experienced teams. Home teams only won 2 games given North's home game at Optus wasn't their true home game.

With respect to betting odds the following favourites and their odds listed lost;

Adelaide $1.90 v Hawks $1.94
Brisbane $1.20 v GWS $4.60

More mid season upsets to come in June and July, I reckon.

No we won’t - even if we continued to keep winning games our % won’t have us in the eight until round 20.

Its a disgrace that even a franchise like the tingles is going to have member control before we do.

It almost needs to get to the point of protest. The same incompetent boys club has held the club hostage for 13 years now with us almost powerless to make change.

It's enough that we live in their heads rent free.

How to say Nobody wants to watch St Kilda play without saying Nobody wants to watch St Kilda play.

Some crows supporters think we have the easiest fixture

They will flip-flop between whatever makes us look worse.

Losing games = Hard fixture, can't beat the good teams.

Winning games = Easy fixture, down-hill skiers.

Also they seemingly don't know that they also have 3 home games in a row later in the year.

They really embody the entitled whinger stereotype
