The Non-Essendon Thread II

suck balls carlton.

did not beat a team above you in the 8, got what you deserved.

 

[Quinz]

Hope we gave you guys an enjoyable night? Was incredible at the ground.

 

[LB#16]

You sure did. Was sitting with my cheeks in my palms being all dramatic on the couch during the last quarter hoping you guys would get up

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Good stuff Eagles. Did the responsible thing for football. Ashamed that the EFC couldn't get the job done, but more than happy to see heartbreak dished out.

Immensely disappointed that Ten didn't cut back to Prattsville at the final siren.

Thank you I was watching on TV, but bloody hell you guys are loud.

 

[Rocky_Star_Pro]

That's karma for you, you cheating, tanking, criminal scumbags. Your delusional supporters carried on last week as if you had won the flag, all week last week I heard how Carlton are coming and how your a premiership threat, and how good you were after beating us.

Goodbye and **** off Carltank, one finals win in 10 years

 

[Smokin]

gotta hand it to ratten, carlton have proven extremely deadly against the press.

It was our biggest downfall last week I feel (on review) apart from skills, pushing too far up gives their ordinary forward line the room it needs.

I think teams will flood back on them next year to strangle them. They have no talls as "outs", so they run it and a press collapses if they get it past that first line.

 

[Kong]

I could've told them that.

 

[stay true]

Just on that Murphy stuff - had he not fumbled everything that went near him in that last quarter, especially in the last 5-10 minutes when they came back, Carlton would have won. Obviously quite amusing to watch for me but he's a much better player than that.

Wonder what's happening to Judd, is he choking in the big games or is it that teams have figured out how to play him ?

 

[Phone]

probably just paying for playing every game

 

[Lord Nicholson]

According to Damien Barrett, it's Oscar's fault.

Really, this guy is untouchable. I still think he's injured - it's more than just teams working him over, he's not even moving the same way when he's free.

 

[yaco55]

Judd has enjoyed a wonderful year - Probably blip on the radar - Eceryone has three or four bad games during a patch of the year.

i kinda like geelongs chances of knocking off collingwood in the gf (should they both get there)

if geelong were to win the flag would that mean alot of last years failure for them could be attributed to bomber thompson and his apparent lack of care/motivation?

did he cost them a flag or the shot at a flag?

They'll try.

did he cost them a flag or the shot at a flag?

99% of the time it all comes down to players.

And in this situation, the people who thought they knew better than to follow what were, apparently, only suggestions for the gameplan should cop the blame; after the gameplan they were happy with was well & truly destroyed.

Predictably enough the media will jump on him. Again.

 

[Howard Moon]

they will show the file footage of him eating a salad roll in the box and say he lacked motivation while talking to Essedon behind then scenes

 

[Kong]

I don't think so.

Bomber and the players are on record as saying he (Bomber) wanted to tweak their game plan to involve "the press", but they weren't interested in doing anything drastic mid season.

I think the players cost themselves.

That and Collingwood were just the right side at the right time.

Geelong winning this year would be fantastic. I'm envious somehow of hearing about Hawthorn's dynasty during the 80s. It defied belief that a side could constantly be winning grand finals, even after mini rebuilds.

Only I actually like Geelong, which would make this better.

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

What are the Hawks chances this week ?

 

[Walesy]

I don't think so.

Bomber and the players are on record as saying he (Bomber) wanted to tweak their game plan to involve "the press", but they weren't interested in doing anything drastic mid season.

I think the players cost themselves.

So they are gunna pin it on Ablett then.

 

[Slattery_20]

I don't think so.

Come on, they tried to insinuate he made Ablett leave - Ablett who was probably signed up from the previous October.

Of course they will. Politics 101, pin everything on someone else.

 

[Kong]

"did he cost them a flag or the shot at a flag?"
"I don't think so"

But yeah, Ralphy and his merry men will pin it on Bomber.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Only I actually like Geelong, which would make this better.

They're comfortably the least offensive successful side in the competition. I hope they get it too.

 

[Kong]

Their supporters are another matter though, especially in Geelong.

I think that's why they don't offend me. They're somewhere else.

 

[Burzum]

Bomber wasn't responsible for their flags but he was responsible for their losses.
