Oppo Camp Round 8 vs. Richmond - The Banter Thread

[MightyTiger]

I was going to try and post something witty, but after my attempt on the bay being such a failure, I think I'll just pop in to say hello.

 

[WATiger86]

Congrats to the Essendon Football Club and all their supporters on their sixteenth-and-a-halfth premiership - The 2012 AFL May premiership

Luckily it will be in the "post season", with the May preimership wrapped up, that the inevitable slide down the ladder occurs, along with the traditional straight sets departure from september footy

To keep things in perspective, the past 25 years (and counting) has seen Fitzroy play in more finals than Richmond.

Still want to discuss finals? I can think of 16 reasons though to discuss premierships.

 

[WATiger86]

I come on your board and congratulate you on your 16.5th premiership and you get your back up?! I had nothing but kind words for your 7 round season...

Well now you can leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I trust it was a joyous experiences, bro?

I think you mean “a joyous experience”, or “were joyous experiences”... But I guess grammar is something you shouldn't expect from a Tasmanian bombers supporter, even if they are a moderator

Good luck on the weekend flogs

Briliant.

Would read again.

Im curious, why was the kick he did after the don't argue omitted from this gif. Surely he drilled it onto a leading Richmond forwards chest?

After the 'dont argue' he balanced himself, lowered his eyes, chose the first and best option, and fired the ball into the forward line with bullet like precision.

Pity I didn't have more time this week to educate your board about the skill and prowess of our other marquee players. Never mind.

To those of you who have gone out of their way to be negative about the Richmond Football Club, I wish you suffering, desolation, indignities, profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, and the wretchedness of the vanquished.

I have no pity for you.

Oh and good luck on Saturday night you uppity bunch of deluded underachieving second rate private school blazer wearing try hard social climbers.

Join date April 2012.

Wasn't Saturday the 14th or Sunday the 15th of April by any chance was it?

Point of order: Fitzroy last played finals in 1986, which by my count was 26 years ago. Keep counting.

 

[Summer Nights]

He did say that past 25 years. That would exclude this one

 

[HeppellakaHirdy]

I'd rather have 16 premierships and a "May Premiership" than 10 premierships tbh.

Use your fingers if you need to Mumbo.

Mumbo Jalumbo is the kind of bloke who has to pull his pants down to count to 21.

 

[kleanr]

Sorry, Cotchin is by far a better player than Dustin. A good fend off doesn't compete with elite ball skills.

Is it just me or is Dustin 'neck tat bogan' Martin that good at fending off the opposition due to his lack of pace?

 

[Beerfish]

Whereas you'd just remove your beanie.

 

[kleanr]

Key Word there was 'Common'.

Classic! i had a good chuckle right now. Especially reading it like "duh, they all have in common..."

sums it up

"past" 25 years.

I think you'll find 2011 - 25 = 1986 fellas.

Use your tiger paws if you need to.

After the 'dont argue' he balanced himself, lowered his eyes, chose the first and best option, and fired the ball into the forward line with bullet like precision.

And by bullet like precision, you mean it went straight into the ground and dribbled into the 50? Unless the turf 10 meters ahead of him was considered the best option. Understandable when all you see is Brad Miller coming at you and Reiwoldt off having a tantrum.

 

[The Dustbin]

After the 'dont argue' he balanced himself, lowered his eyes, chose the first and best option, and fired the ball into the forward line with bullet like precision.

You sure about that. I recall him firing the ball 30m along the turf the whole way. You obviously have a different definition of precision.

Happy for you to prove me wrong though.

Well said MJ.

lol Brad Miller.

lol Brad Miller.

Anyone who can play ruck and forward shouldn't be laughed at.
