The Big 4 - 2015

[Gavin Excell]

Collingwood; Carlton; Richmond; Essendon

The biggest clubs in the competition or light of other days?

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Looks like Richmond will be the only one making finals next year. Weird.

It's still Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, with honorable mentions to Exodus and Testament.

One team from outside the big 8 makes the big 4 each year, don't they?

How can you be so sure? You only just made the finals this year and the Suns will be pressing hard for a finals berth next year.

The Suns will take Essendon's spot. An old side like Geelong or Freo might fade too.

Lol both Geelong and Freo will be up again next year, key injuries at the wrong end of the season for both sides. Richmond had a great second half of the year. But can't help but think winning so many games in a row will ensure that really average players like Petterd, Grigg, Houli, Chaplin are all still entrenched in your best 22, when you should have good young players taking there spots.

Thread needs moar Pantera

 

[Jarlcorbz]

This is now a thread about metal.

Megadeth is awesome.

Thread needs moar Pantera

Pantera weren't a thrash band, thus they are excluded from this conversation, unfortunately.

I always considered them thrash... Criminally underrated though

Kneel before our pokies revenue, you impoverished dogs!!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

I watched that Through the never movie on foxtell the other night... Some kinda metallica movie with zombie creatures and stuff, trippy but kinda kool.

 

[The GOAT]

Real big 4

Collingwood; West Coast; Hawthorn; Sydney

Geelong, WC, Hawthorn, Sydney

Collingwood will be bottom 4-6 next year. Depends how much emphasis you put on membership/crowd size v performance.

Is it any good? Have thought about watching it many times but often assumed it was going to be cheesy.

With Thrash, speed had everything to with it. I was all about speed, speed was the name of the game. Thrash bands were mostly small and slender, like Anthrax. Now Pantera, I have never been quite sure what they were, but they were too muscular to be a thrash band, too hairy to be stoner metal as well. They were smooth, not that they couldn't be either thrash or stoner at different times, I'm sure there was a lot of switching back and forth, but I think more often, Pantera were classified as groove metal except for the early period when they were a glam band.

It is cheesy nothing special, i didn't even understand the side plot something about a bag, but hey you could watch worse things. It's got some kool music

There's no modern big anything. But there are 4 Victorian clubs with a long, rich tradition between supporter groups and culturally there still is a 'big 4' in Victoria due to the fact we all know "a Carlton friend" who we love to rip into, we all know "an Essendon friend" and "a Collingwood friend" (or family member) and so much of our lives inevitably include memories of football discussions with these people. That is the cultural heritage of 4 well-supported Vic clubs with long tradition. Only in that sense does any kind of 'Big 4' live on.

 

[shotgun_blues]

Suicidal Tendencies = Hawthorn

It's always been the Big 5!

 

[Power Raid]

and the wheel turns...........

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Not one mention of Iron Maiden.

God.
