The Non-Essendon Thread V

[eth-dog]

Most of them took off about an hour before the news broke actually... Dell'Olio uploaded a picture of his seat on his Instagram.

...shit

...shit

The weird thing is that statistically, you're more likely to die in a fall than you are in a plane crash...

Regardless, this would put a big dark cloud over the whole trip.

That doesn't make me feel any better.

Remind me never to get drunk on a balcony, or ever go near one when I'm drunk

Being 23 I find it mind boggling that someone younger than me could pass away. Earlier this week a guy I went to school with died of a heart problem in a shopping centre.

Good people dropping at young ages and bad people outliving us all. The world can really suck

 

[Jobe Watson]

Horrible news. Feel for his family and the PAFC.

Has it been confirmed how he died? I thought most Vegas hotels didn't have opening windows let alone balconies? In any event, this is very sad news.

they usually don't. A couple of mates went this year and their windows were sealed (they stupidly tried to pry them open) But they have confirmed he fell from a balcony

 

[VelvetSledge]

Most of the hotels on the strip don't have balconies, but ones on the outskirts do, just for the view of the strip at night.

 

[emblurr]

Horrible thing to happen, thought it might have been Jobe at first because he said he was going to Vegas in the off season.

Essendon has cancelled their end of season trip to Vegas out of respect to McCarthy.

 

[Loonerty]

20 next week. having the standard mortality freak I do when anyone my age or that I know to dies.
Shocking news, the Essendon boys should cancel their trip. Don't see how they could enjoy it now

Same here, 20 on Saturday.

Absolutely tragic. Heart goes out to those close to McCarthy and PAFC

 

[Doss]

The poor kid was younger than me

People use the word 'tragedy' in a footballing context far too easily, but this really is a genuine case of one.

R.I.P.

On a lighter note, my favourite new thing on BF is Carlton supporters lionising Ratten and rooting for him to get the Port job.

His record is honestly no better than Harvey's. I'm not saying that he won't get the gig, but it would have been great for Ratts if he had received this kind of support from the Carlton fans... when he was in the job.

 

[Mercurial89]

As much as I dislike them I'm interested to see how they go under mick. I don't believe they are as bad as many people say.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Would be hilarious to see them drop to 14th or something.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I don't believe they are as bad as many people say.

Of course they're not. Ratten's pre-season goals were achievable, and even with those injuries they would have angled for 5th or thereabouts if they were a really well-coached side. He was inadequate, and at a club like that, it's only natural that he gets the flick.

 

[Tassieboy]

I'd be surprised if they weren't there abouts next year, unfortunately.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I worry that if they get Cloke, they'll be a force. Their midfield is very solid, but Waite isn't exactly young, or that good.

 

[Childish Gambino]

Saw this on Facebook.

Just doesn't look right...

 

[Doss]

To be fair, I remember thinking exactly the same thing when Collingwood signed him. Seeing him coaching anyone other than West Coast was weird at first.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

What does look "right" on Mick?

Red, black, and white?
Yellow and black?
Red, white, and blue?
Yellow and blue?
Black and white?

Who's to say. There have been some mixes that would have been a shock in their day.

Urgh...

I have to admit part of me wants Carlton to do well, well not well, maybe just enough to make Eddie mad. I guess just better than collingwood next year should be enough for that as long as it not a premiership hehe.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I have to admit part of me wants Carlton to do well,

GTFO.

Let it be known that whosoever says "I have to admit part of me wants Carlton to do well" on this board will be banned from this day until the ending of the world with no warning, no last goodbye.

Wash your mouth out with soap young man. We will not tolerate that language around here!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I hope Carlton do well, at winning wooden spoons.

 

[vast]

Apologies gentleman I have been spending too much time in the bay and have lost sight of whats important.

I hope the scum finished last and lose to GC under Malthouse, LOL actually that would be even funnier than Eddie getting pissed.
Make it happen footy gods.

P.S Am I forgiven?
