The "I Was Wrong" Thread

[davywap]

Those of you who said we had no chance of beating Adelaide and/or we were going to get thumped, post your "I was wrong" message here.

Those who've written off Jolly and called for Buckley's head after round 3 may also post their rebuttals here if desired.

 

[Nicco_jj]

There's been a few ppl who said we had no chance in this game. I also think the people who called Beams soft need to just eat humble pie.

 

[Temploar]

Pfft i backed us all the way. Even tipped us.

 

[Pie eyed]

I had the margin wrong and for that I am truly sorry.

 

[Wooljay]

My bad!

 

[Scodog10]

Yeah missed the margin by 14 points which was rather disappointing.

As it is there's an old saying. Form is fleeting but class is permanent! We had them covered tonight so I couldn't really understand the lack of faith from some....

 

[biggiemediums]

The $2000 odd I won tonight says "I was right"

 

[sirene]

I thought we were going to be beaten, but hopefully not thumped. 10 minutes in, I believed we could win it; never expected such a convincing win against Adelaide this year.

BUT....I have never written of Jolly, Beams, Goldsack, etc............

 

[Paranoid]

Wrong here. Thought Adelaide would hammer us. Stoked with the win.

Good to see he has hardened up

 

[TradeDraft]

I said we where a Good Chance but it was going to be Hard.

That what it was

 

[Raymond Rougeau]

Tuff match - new we could do it but that's no given - wait for robbo articles about pies depth lol

 

[Jelly Bean]

Week by week I think I am being proven a little bit more wrong about Sinclair.I didn't think he would ever get up to his current level of output.

 

[Matt_TY]

Wasn't confident and would have taken a fighting loss at the start of the week.
By quarter time I had re-assessed and would have accepted nothing but a win.

I said we'd get thumped. But never once overreacted after round 3.

I won't concede on jolly. No way no how. 5 possessions vs 11 to Jacobs. Would love to know the hitouts to advantage stat too, the stat that matters more than just hitouts.

Jacobs also set up a crucial goal for Adelaide too, jolly missed a sitter from 35. You guys are in complete denial about jolly. It's ridiculous at this point.

 

[Big Bryza]

After 1 game I wanted Sinclair gone. Since then he has become close to my favorite player. I just love how hard he goes at the footy, splitting packs and giving everything he's got. He's now a vital cog in our side. Benny boy, I was wrong. For that I'm very sorry.

You really need to get a clue. Jolly was far better than Jacobs and if you can't see that, then you're obviously related to Cameron Wood.

Get a clue cameron

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

We should start the "I was right" thread. As I posted during the week, I was so confident we'd win it wasn't funny . Tipped it and had $2000 at 2.60 on Betfair . Thank your mother for the rabbits. I should add, the 9's I took for the flag 5 weeks ago also seem to have disappeared

Was 4-1 in Jollys advantage after the first quarter. His tapping down to our mids was very good.

You are becoming a parody of yourself, it's getting laughable.

Jolly has had one bad game tis year. Against essendon he came up against the combination that was supposed to expose him, and he smashed them. Then tonighit, he comes up against flavour of the month Jacobs and gives him a bath too.

Just admit it, you have some pathological distaste for jolly and can't get past it. You've even said yourself you didn't rate his 2010 form which is so wrong it's funny.

Next you'll tell us malthouse was a shit coach! Oh wait...

 

[davywap]

^^^^Some of us just don't seem to be happy unless whinging about something.

No pathological distaste. I clearly don't see what you guys do in this instance.

I thought Toovey was good if that helps.

 

[Daniels]

Was loving the $2 on offer for the +12.5 Pies line. Cheers TAB!

I'll give you a hint. We haven't had a ruckman since Monky left.

We were thereabouts in premiership contention for 5 out of about 9 years but always struggled in the ruck.

Then in 2010, Jolly arrived and we won the Premiership. Then he got injured in 2011 and our unbeatable side became beatable. ( granted a few other injuries occurred too)
