The Craziest thing the Media has Said about your Club

[cardje]

Just thought it would be amusing to get everyone to mention the funniest, craziest or stupidest comment those "experts" in the media have said about your club. I've seen some rippers this year so go for it

Funniest recently Leigh Matthews comment that North haven't proven they can play at the MCG but crows have despite the fact we have won 3 finals there in the past 2 seasons.

 

[The 747]

David King before 2011 GF - "Geelong can't win"

And of course the immortal Tim Lane - "The era is over" (sic) against the Doggies.

I prefer to look at what the Dumb Captains had to say

TO MAKE FINALS

Fremantle (17)

Geelong (17)

Hawthorn (17)

West Coast (17)

Sydney Swans (14)

Port Adelaide (12)

Richmond (7)

North Melbourne (6)

GWS Giants (6)

Western Bulldogs (6)

Adelaide (4)

Collingwood (3)

Posted this on the Giants board, but the other week on the Offsiders programme Francis Leech said ANZ being made into a rectangular field was a "massive loss" for the AFL and GWS and we have "lost the battle for Western Sydney" as a result. What a load of bullcrap. We will continue to try and build a supporter base at Spotless, a stadium much better than ANZ for footy.

No team can withstand Fremantle's MANIC PRESSURE. Hawthorn beat them with their own version of manic pressure
Sydney are unstoppable and will win the grand final against Hawthorn............. Hawthorn pull Sydney's pants down and beat them by 63

I remember when Robert Walls called the west coast eagles Evil. Best thing ever

Greg Denham said at the start of last year Bob Murphy was a terrible choice as captain, by the end of the year he was the All Australian captain and voted best captain by the players.

 

[theyellowsash]

the ox said we would be top 2 this year.

 

[JUBJUB]

Tim Lane in 2010 - Geelong v Bulldogs "The days of domination are over"
Geelong kicked the next 14 goals.

david king - losing Patrick Dangerfield will cost the crows 3-4 win this year

"WEST COAST DODGE DRUG BULLET"

Front page of the West last week

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

David king saying we wouldnt win a game is up there.

 

[SizeMatters]

"But for mine, Rockliff is not an A grader and could face battles getting a game down the track as the side improves."

For a bloke that is meant to report anything Lions or Suns up here in the local rag, he sure doesn't know a lot about footy. Has always had it against Rockliff for as long as I can remember... Hamilton is such a s**t reporter.

Duck saying Mitchell wouldn't get a game in any other side probably the most far fetched.

 

[Tyler Hodges]

Also King saying Sydney will beat Hawks by 10 goals in 14 GF.

 

[GPW1]

any club that has been declared "worse than fitzroy" after losing the first few games of the year.

Robert Walls is the king of making dumb arse comments

Kidding right?

It's Essendon.

 

[jamaican_eagle]

for essendon fans...

"Essendon are NOT cheats". - That would be the craziest / most incorrect thing anyone has ever said about Essendon.

There are a few of them:

• The rain will favour the Swans, they love the wet - Despite us losing 80% of wet weather games over the past few years. Yesterday's performance against the Lions shows just how much Sydney love the wet.
• "Buddy loves to burn a team mate and have a ping himself" - Dermott during yesterday's telecast, in the same season that Buddy has been criticised for not being selfish enough in front of goal.
• The Swans love the SCG because it's a tiny ground - It's 1m shorter than the Gabba, 5m shorter than the MCG. It literally has 98.7% of the ground area of Subiaco which is considered a huge ground.
• The GWS vs Swans broadcast themed "Old Experienced Swans vs Courageous Baby Giants" despite teams having equal average age.

david king - losing Patrick Dangerfield will cost the crows 3-4 win this year

He might be right though? Danger could be the difference between 18-4 and 22-0?

This one is funny. Remember all those memes around how the MCG is "so massive" at the time of the world cup cricket final last year?

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

Anything that falls out of Dermie's mouth makes me laugh.

I will never forget watching game day on 7 a few years back. It was around round 6 or 7 and the ox said the demons would play finals and that geelong would come out of the 8 in their place. I almost fell off my seat. Melbourne finished 2nd bottom and the cats won the flag!
