Swans bashing '08

[quinnstar]

So again.. another season.. another year of Swans bashing...lol..

This time it's even before the season started..hmmm if it's like shades of '05 then i'm more than happy for it to keep going.. as we all know how that season ended..

ps.. just having some fun here.. Roosy style... lol..

I like it when we're the underdogs. It just removes all the unnecessary baggage, burden and high expectations from everyone.

Feel like 2005 to me as well. Hope I don't jinx anything, touch wood.

Please tell me its true

Were Rancid and Bedford bagging McVeigh in 2005?

Could be a great omen if it was true

 

[ssfc0203]

I think they've been bagging them since he was drafted.

I'm getting the shivers. Just 18 days to go.

18!

no no no
i keep saying i was a mcveigh fan, in 05 i think i remember trying to make a case for him to play in the finals series
but he lost me in 06 and 07
i still hope, but i no longer believe

Remember kids, don't take ANY shit from Hawthorn fans on the subject of flooding.

always brush your teeth TWICE a day and always give up your train seat to the elderly and the infirm
and if an essendon supporter says something nice about the swans, it's a trick...a trick, i tell you!

Rancid - You were a McVeigh fan in 2005 and we won the flag
Since 2006 when you became a non believer in him and started to criticize him, we have not won a flag.

Therefore in some mystical insane world of superstition, it means that for the swans to have any chance of winning this years flag, that you must stop bagging him and start publically supporting him

Rancid - Can you do this for the benefit of the Swans?

not only will i now only praise mcveigh's newfound judd-like qualities, i'll also stand up and say, loud and proud, that young jarrad is also possibly the most virile and attractive footballer in the league .... "possibly"??? nay, absolutely!!!

I remember when he used to have an uncanny knack for kicking goals off the ground in the 2005 season his the cristinaldo rienaldo of the afl.

And rancid you must mention mc veighs new size and strengh of brown and he has managed to find delideos speed as well.

Now we have a footballer with judd like qualities who has the same speed of delideo and has browns size and strengh opisition better put there best taggers on him and leave goodes, hall, and kennely free if they want to stay in the match

Your love of the Swans should not be questioned.

But can Bedford do the same?

For the good of the Swans he needs to do the same and public endorse him perhaps even campaign for him to become the 4th captain

Give him more credit than full captancy strip ir off kirk barry bolton in fact if mc viegh is capton we won't even need a leadership group such is the effort he puts out there on the field

no i cannot do the same until he starts to play good footy and if he dosen't he should be dropped to the ACT.
this is my main reason for bagging him,as he tends to still get picked even after numerous bad games,when young blokes are left in the magoos when they deserve a run in the seniors every other club does it.
so if mcveigh ever plays good tough consistent footy i will praise him.

my love of the swans goes back to the lake oval and running out as a mascot with skilts,so don't question me about my love for the swans.

good enough HA ?

 

[Hopelesslyaddicted]

I certainly don't question where your heart lies.

It is a bit sad that you could'nt of played along with the "mystical insane world of superstition concept", but hey each to their own.

I guess if we don't win the flag this year then you will become the scapegoat (please recognise the sarcasm and don't be offended by it)

Yes it is true that he didn't play on that day in 05 but the point is that no one bagged him and we won a flag.

Cheer cheer the red and the white

Go swans

Just don't go offering him the sacred number 14,

(let him continue to immotalize the number 3)

 

[NUMBER14]

the banter about mcveigh is hilarious

but could you imagine if he read the posts

the bloke would be suffering serious depression!!

but then again we could send him the posts so he can motivate himself to get a feel of the sherrin

 

[ssfc0203]

suicidal depression, but then again he has his hearse to help himself to after he passes away...

seriously though, gun this year, mcveigh, GUN IT!
i'm getting sick of me and everyone ruthlessly bagging you out

yes, send him the posts
those really tall white ones, not the shorter ones, and an instructions manual explaining what they are, what they're for and what he's meant to do with them

I got a confession Rancid.

I am totally ambivalent about whether McVeigh plays in the ones or in Canberra.

Truth be known I was bored with every one bagging him.

Having said what I just did, just remember all that superstitious stuff about us winning a flag when no one bagged him.

In a previous post http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=409699 I rated us a 2% chance of winning a flag.

IMO all this recent swan bashing stuff will galvanise the team and with the inclusion of a bit of youth (Bird, Jack, Barlow and possibly a few others) and also a fitter Barry Hall, it has made me reassess things.

Perhaps I am getting caught up in the hype of a new season but I now give us a 4% chance of winning the flag.

Demetriou would love to see Roosy up on the stage again

all right, well, i'm going to argue on a mathematical standpoint here, lad
4% chance is less than 5%, and 5% is one in 20
but there's only 16 teams in the competition, and i KNOW we're a better chance of the 08 flag than at least 6 of those teams (melb, rich, ess, carl, crows, dogs ... and probly roos too)
so mathematically (and i am useless at maths) we're a 1 in 10 chance, which is 10 per cent
so, y'see, i've already boosted your 4% by 2 and a half times
aren't you glad i bothered?

 

[ssfc0203]

We'll know when it comes around to it.

Just hope we smash Schneider in Rd 1 and the other one.. (11 sleeps to go!). Little rat that he is.
