The Non-Essendon Thread V

[Lord Nicholson]

Hinkley's got the senior gig at PAFC, according to the Sadvertiser/HUN.

 

[Kong]

The man I wanted after Knights (assuming Roos was unavailable).

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I'm going to start a segment revolving around funny things I find on Official Club Twitter feeds.

Starting with this pearler:


Either they're using the phrase in the Triple M sense wherein everyone is "the Great Man" or Chaplin's stocks have risen astoundingly in the last 24 hours. Actually, they have... 4 years! I like him as a footballer, sure, but we'll see.


That's code for "Nobody wants to play for Carlton."

This stance will, I assume, change when Gumby is being steered through the tutorial on how to assemble a cardboard Visy bin, which he is already familiar with having had similar procedures done to his own spine.

Nic Nat failed to make the Top 10 in the WC B and F - How was he the no 1 ruck in the AA team.

That's 2 players in the 2012 AA team who missed the Top 10 in their clubs B and F

Robbo actually bollocked him on air over it too. I don't think Gerard was too happy to be made to look like a silly schoolgirl by someone of Robbo's calibre but he was spot on in this instance.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Robbo made a fool of himself not knowing the difference between percentages and totals.

If he had known that, he could have completely perforated Healy's argument, as Pavlich had already been denied a spot based on having played in the midfield earlier in the year (I thought only Harvey was silly enough to do that?)

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Working at a function with a lot of North people here, and Drew Petrie keeps getting in my way. Has Scotty asked him to be a decoy guest?

Their B&F voting system heavily penalises players who miss games.

Are you hinting at the fact that you are Dustin Fletcher?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

The "no dickheads" policy is about to get one hell of an acid test.

 

[lamaros]

He's a natural!

 

[yaco55]

Their B&F voting system heavily penalises players who miss games.

Its a flawed system.

Still don't understand how Milne finished 12th in StKilda's B and F.

 

[yaco55]

Ryan Crowley wins Freo's B and F.
Mitchell wins at the Hawks.

Found a 3rd AA who missed his clubs top 10 in the B and F - Beau Waters.

If there were a lot of competent people there, then he most certainly was the decoy.

 

[lamaros]

Mitchell wins BnF, second in Brownlow. Can't make AA.

I'm not going to let this go.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

AA is no better than the Lou Richards Medal.

I'd struggle to argue that Healy, Bartlett, Demetriou, Darcy, and Spud are any more astute football minds than Lloyd, Brown, Crawford, and Brownless. The only difference is that one set know they're clowns.

 

[Kong]

Brownlow and AA are both "bleh".

AA = Healy, Barlett, Darcy, Demetriou, Frawley
Brownlow = Three little gimps that make dozens of stupid calls in every single game

 

[Beerfish]

Agree with the Brownlow sentiments.

Except for this year of course where it was clearly the benchmark award.

 

[yaco55]

You still can't beat a B and F in a Premiership year.

And they make good coaches - Tick the boxes - Step on down Josh Kennedy.

And they make good coaches

Don't know what the hell they've done to Gary O'Donnell up in Brisbane though...



Poor bastard.

 

[Kong]

Crazy Vossy.

 

[Doss]

I remember at the very end of the 2003 GF when Robert Walls predicted that O'Donnell would be sought after as a senior coach on the basis of being a triple premiership assistant coach.

Kinda never happened.

 

[Jab]

I remember at the very end of the 2003 GF when Robert Walls predicted that O'Donnell would be sought after as a senior coach on the basis of being a triple premiership assistant coach.

Kinda never happened.

That's because he openly said that he never wanted to be a senior coach. He wants to always remain as an assistant and is happy that way.

 

[Burzum]

Don't know what the hell they've done to Longy413 up in Brisbane though...

Poor bastard.
