Don't go trolling.

How do you guys like it when they do it here?

It's a time-honoured tradition mate. Why can't we have a bit of fun? Sure, we'll get banned, but I don't want to see the scum board coming up anyway

The thing is, they are allowed to troll here and don't get carded, yet I (and many others I am sure) have been permabanned from their board for saying bugger all compared to what was said to me... Let em troll here as they seem to get away with and let them stop being so ****en sensitive on their board...But we know it will never happen, so let's just beat em where it counts...Bring on our bitches.

No trolls get past us here.

We show lenience to the honest posters, just as they do.

If you think a post from an opposition supporter is inappropriate, please report it.

Carton are a team full of head duckers and players who dont go when its there turn, they will get found out in the finals.

I think we will make a mess of these pretenders. Feeling pretty confident right about now even though we are missing a couple.

If we make it through today with no injuries (please God) we aren't really missing a lot of important players in the context of the 2011 season.

Demps
Licha
Longergan
Crameri

The first two have been out since round 5, Lonergan since round 13ish. Crameri will be a big loss as we have not had a chance to adjust without him.

Apart from that, we're all systems go pending no further injuries/complications. Definitely not limping into the finals series.

I think people are getting a bit carried away. There is a reason why Essendon are 8th and Carlton are 5th. Chris Judd

Damn you and your reasonable thinking.

Really good point and one I completely agree with. They are fragile when under intense pressure.

The regular season and finals are completely different. NLM to run through and smash the Carlton midfield. Squibbs will be crying by the end of night.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

The regular season and finals are completely different.

So I guess if we win against Carlton we can pencil in a win against West Coast @ Subi as well?

'cause we completely lost our ****ing brains during the middle of the season and lost 5 games we should have won? And Chris Judd

 

[dave_27]

Fremantle in 2003 finished 5th.

Melbourne in 2004 finished 5th.

No, but it should not be seen the same as a regular season game. I think the Eagles will hold up under pressure better than the Blues.

[The Dustbin]

I am ****ing pumped to play Carlton. To have the chance to play them again, on an even playing field is a bonus, thought I'd have to wait until 2012.

Game on moles!

Re: Had to do it (Ladder Predictor)

Being realistic. I had us with wins over Carlton by 12-30, Sydney 30-60, Western Bulldogs 12-30 and Port Adelaide 30-60 and losses to Collingwood 30-60 and West Coast 30-60.

1. Collingwood 21 1 0 175.8 84
2. Geelong 19 3 0 147.6 76
3. Hawthorn 17 5 0 134.3 68
4. West Coast 16 6 0 127.9 64
5. Carlton 13 8 1 124.9 54
6. Essendon 12 9 1 110.1 50
7. St.Kilda 11 10 1 104.1 46
8. Sydney 11 10 1 103.1 46

9. W.Bulldogs 11 11 0 99.1 44
10. Fremantle 11 11 0 92.6 44
11. Kangaroos 10 12 0 99.9 40
12. Melbourne 9 12 1 92.8 38
13. Adelaide 6 16 0 78.6 24
14. Richmond 5 16 1 77.9 22
15. Gold Coast 5 17 0 57.7 20
16. Brisbane 4 18 0 76.4 16
17. Port 3 19 0 70 12

Am I being realistic? At our best I think we can win these games that I pointed out...Would you be happy taking on St.Kilda in an Elimination Final?

Well I wasn't far off...

 

[boncer34]

Let's have a look. My predictions for the games that matter...

Round 20
St Kilda to beat Freo by 60ish
Carlton to beat Melbourne by 30ish
We defeat Sydney by 5 points (yes, being optimistic, but I think we can do it)
Hawks defeat North by 45ish
WCE defeat Richmond by 80-100

Round 21
Pies over Saints by 15
Carlton over Freo by 30
Dons over the Dogs by 15
WCE over Melbourne by 30
Sydney over Richmond by 20

Round 22
Hawks over Carlton by 20
WCE to defeat us by 30ish unfortunately
North over Freo by 60 (Freo cannot and will not win in Melbourne)
Saints over Sydney by 12
Dogs over Port by 30
Melbourne over Richmond by 60

Round 23
Pies over Freo by 45ish
Hawks over the Dogs by 60ish
Cats over the Swans by 45ish
Saints over North by 30ish
Dees over the Suns by 60ish
Dons over Port by 75ish (yes, I know we've won 1 of our last 13 against them, but they are so bad, surely we couldn't lose to them again?)

Round 24
Dogs over Freo by 30
Swans over Lions by 75ish
Carlton over St Kilda by 15ish
Port to beat Melbourne by a couple goals (they play AAMI even worse than we do...think I saw recently that they haven't won there since 2001)
And finally, North over Richmond by 45ish.

I've used the ladder predictor, very handy tool..

Anyway, that gives a ladder of:
1. Collingwood
2. Geelong
3. Hawthorn
4. West Coast
5. Carlton
6. St Kilda
7. Sydney
8. Essendon
9. North Melbourne
10. Melbourne
11. Bulldogs
12. Fremantle

With the rest completely irrelevant.

Week 1: Collingwood v West Coast, Geelong v Hawthorn, Carlton v Essendon, St Kilda v Sydney

Could be interesting..

We should frame this post
