The Non-Essendon Thread

[Kong]

Wonder if he'll blame it on the laptop.

Sorry, Dimma.

you know the first time i heard that story i thought "that's gotta be a lie" but the way he reacted after carlton made it make sense a bit more. although he supposedly got angry & sulked that time and really he only sulked after carlton.

Didn't get to see this game, as ESPN3 only had Collingwood and Carlton... but after looking at the Richmond board, I'm wishing they'd shown GC/Richmond instead.

I just get the feeling it's the club, not the coaches or players.

I've seen some very talented players go through, and yet none of them seem to reach full potential. Richardson had the ability of Buddy, and probably more than Lloyd, but probably only dominated two seasons, one of which was in his 2nd last season on the wing.

Whether that's the board or what, I don't know, but it can't just be a coincidence that they've continually failed for the last 30 years.

The negative consequences of a toxic culture can't be understated.

I think we suffered from it ove recent years, to a point. When a couple of teams are ruthlessly striving for success, and others aren't, it can get pretty embarassing.

Richmond are a team of potential stars and complete duds. It is a cosmic impossibility that Luke McGuane is on an AFL list. It makes even less sense that he plays in the same team as Trent Cotchin.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of tin rattling nuffies.

I hope they lose every single game for the rest of the year, preferably by big margins.

And yes, I'm an arseh*le.

 

[Kong]

Who do you hate more: Norf or Shitmond?

 

[Macca18]

Norf. No contest.

But when they imminently fold, Richmond will take the mantle.

I was a little concerned a month or so back at the thought of both of these two finishing higher than our mob, but that looks a very long way away at the moment.

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Bloody hell its important the Eagles beat the Saints tonight.

 

[Macca18]

They won't. Saints will win this (unfortunately).

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

I tipped the Saints, just had that feeling that they'll win all week.

 

[Kong]

Come on, Eagles!

 

[Macca18]

Complete jinx on this board of late.

Go Eagles!

 

[Quinz]

Kozi and Clarke were the two BOG at quarter time. I mean.. That just can't happen for a full game, the universe won't allow it.

 

[Kong]

Glass! What a leap!

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Bloody hell and the Saints win by 21 points.

 

[Kong]

The Eagles of 2010 returned for that last quarter.

Atrocious disposal.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

WCE got dominated by the umps, tbh.

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Who saw the Mackenzie kick in the last 5 min of the game ? If you can call it a kick.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Lol at Richmond losing.

 

[Frothies Mcveigh]

Here come Port Adelaide, lead cut back to 14.

 

[yaco55]

McKenzie got back to his form of 2010 in being the worst kick in the AFL.

 

[eth-dog]

Freo winning is good for us IMO. We can pass them next week

 

[Kong]

How?

Sydney won't drop out of the 8 anyway, whereas Freo can.

Freo are playing West Coast, Sydney are playing the Bulldogs. The way I see it, Sydney should beat the Bulldogs, and Freo should lose to West Coast. Plus, that means we win and knock Carlton out of the 4. And I like Freo better.
