Random thoughts not worthy of a thread (Part I)

Gibson

Thanks.

 

[koshari]

anyway lets just enjoy the week being above WCE on the ladder because they play the Dees next week.

Apologies if this has already been brought up but it doesn't seem fair on you guys to get such a tough draw to start with. Especially when the reigning premiers get the two expansion teams first up

i got no probs with the draw, the only way to learn how to beat the better teams is to play them, 3 years ago we got smashed by your mob, last year we got one back and this year it was a good tussle untill half time ( bit like today).

Had a go at the Ladder predictor at http://www.afl.com.au/ladder/ladder-predictor today.. I'd recommend it makes our season look a lot more salvageable

The top 6 seems settled with Freo, Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong, Collingwood and Essendon

After that West Coast, North, Richmond, Port, Adelaide and Carlton could realistically have a go at those other two spots

I had us 9th on percentage after losing four of the last five games... imagine that heart break and to have that collapse let Richmond in of all teams

Our one win this season was by a greater margin than the four losses combined.

We're ranked 8th in the comp for I50's and 16th for marks I50.

Yeah that's just ****en shit. The mids kicking the ball on top of the forwards head coupled with the inability of our forwards to create seperation on their opponents is largely to blame. It's like the mids have been listening to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers "Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now". :stern look

Too early to say anything is settled. Would back Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn. A lot of injuries could derail Freo and even Collingwood, and who knows about *Essendon.

Love the use of the asterisk for Essendon.

My random thought when 2013 is finished will it be
* Essendon or
Essendon *

I hope the great minds at the AFL are already on to this. I don't want Adrian Anderson brought back to unravel this mess.

$101 for us to win the flag is ridiculously good value

(Was on Sportsbet until about 10 mins ago, now at $67)

Random observation : We don't seem to have World Vision on our advertising boards behind the coach anymore .
Was it a one year thing?
Was it a Euge thing and died when he left?
Are we considering gambling revenue and therefor had to get rid of it?
Did it take up valuable advertising space for people that would actually pay us?

Thanks
Their signs were prominent on our boards behind BS last year.
Looks like they have been dropped from that particular space.

 

[Daz]

Heppell looks a bit like Luka Modric.

Modric is tougher, though.

It's getting a little louder each week.
I'm enjoying the DROOOOOOO (Drew) call

Anyone know if Matt Garlett (fighting on the Will Tomlinson undercard) is related to Cruize and Jeff ??

A certain poster on here would think so.

Sam Gibson has 65 I50s from 20 career games. He has 4 goal assists.

I'm a full time uni student and work part-time as a swim teacher. Was asking one of my classes this afternoon which footy team they supported; 2 Hawks, 1 *Essendon, 1 St Kilda (I live in the South Eastern suburbs). After my looks of disgust one of the Hawk supporters returned the question, upon my answer of North Melbourne the Dons boy instantly blurts out: "my whole family hates you".

Had a good silent chuckle to myself.

He then did butterfly laps for the rest of the session :stern look:

This is a massive disappointment. He is at his best operating from the back pocket to half way - the options he provides (that others don't) are invaluable.

For future reference, next time.

I don't think he'll be commentating tonight Gaso.

The Schnoz will take his place.
