Liked by Suban. The wombat Palmer has been quite vocal, running his ugly mouth.

Some of the replies in there are brutal!

Yeah, I felt bad reading them...NOT!

David Penberthy's column in last Sunday's News Limited newspapers about sport and life is a good read.

Deflecto must have self combusted thinking his long held viewpoint had finally been substantiated by the AFL media department with this headline:

Sorry Richo, it's all our fault, says Ross

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-06-11/sorry-richo-its-our-fault-says-ross

Sorry mate, it was a quote from Seb Ross not Ross Lyon So close!

 

[Freo Quokkas]

Earlier this hour, Ross Lyon (dressed as a cobbler) was the second AFL coach to go down the slide into the pool for Big Freeze 4 at the MCG to end MND.
"Let cobblers do the cobbling." He said.

 

[YEOLO]

(The AFL twitter account has videos of all the coaches going down if anyone is interested in seeing them.)

 

[XXRL]

Looks so calm and composed when he surfaces.

Brad Hardies article on Perth Now about Fremantle and Lyon is hardly journalism, more just shot after shot at us and Ross. I stopped reading 1/4 way through, even though I agreed with some of his points, it was just a poor mans melt.

Hilarious that he mentions Colin Sylvia.

Unfortunately, I've got an auto recall of Hardie's voice interviewing Bond a week after the 2013 Grand Final loss.

"I reckon he's the one you gotta get Bondy"

 

[Thistle]

Watching Talking Footy and they had a whole segment about how we won the trade with Gold Coast because we got Cerra with pick 2

lol, such stupidity. Although at least they actually acknowledged Cerra.

Do you reckon we would ever get a positive article from Hardie, even this week he will probably bag the Crows for inaccuracy instead of prasing some of the efforts of our young brigade.

The classic was Campbell Brown's theory on why we'd taken a different team interstate to the two home games either side. Apparently it's all part of a cunning plan concocted by RTB to rest Ballas, Johnno and Matera.

Oh and according to Wayne Carey Freo are a bottom four side. I wonder how many times Wayne has actually watched us play this season. It's hard to decide who the biggest oxygen thief is on that show.

Carey talks a lot of **** in the media.

We probably would be bottom 4 some years but not this year with 3 teams on 1 win at the bye and another with 3 wins off consecutive 100pt thrashings.

He said that about the Eagles too after we belted them in the pre-season comp.

Really it depends what games he has seen this season. Based upon the Sydney, Richmond and Collingwood games it wouldn't be far off.

 

[LeftFootBanana]

As someone who makes his living as an expert on AFL, he should be watching every game - especially if he's going to pontificate on where teams belong on the ladder. The sad fact is that Carey, like most of his colleagues, doesn't seem to make any effort to genuinely educate himself about what's going on at clubs outside of Melbourne.

Unless of course there's a whiff of scandal then he'll pile on with the rest of the hyenas.

 

[dockshark]

I think you guys should chill, and try to be less defensive. Reality is that at best, we are marginally better than bottom 4.

Carey is a flog, but he is not exactly wrong in his assessment...

 

[Del183359]

Agreed..Carey is a flog

 

[go_the_dockers]

As did most of us.

 

[Allikat]

As did most of us.

Yeah but we have an excuse to be a little biased

 

[Yeti]

A woman bashing flog.

I think Lachie Neale is on Game Day today for those interested.

Worst footy show on TV but just turned it on and he is up after the current ad breaks.
