The off topic thread

I happen to think Bomber's as good a coach, just a shame he doesn't wanna do it long term

But Clarkson's created a general style of play that relies on accurate kicking that has lasted for years and years in a game where tactics are constantly evolving, sure he makes lots of little tweaks and tinker to the system but the general principle's still the same. It's like the Barca of the AFL

 

[Shoei]

Hopefully Simpson bring the same plan to the Eagles.

Its always a bit of a lottery with new coaches, Neeld was highly rated but look how he turned out.

 

[Cooldude]

It's harder to find young super coaches nowadays

For every Chris Scott you get ten Brad Scotts

 

[Shoei]

Eagles have only really had one average coach in Ken Judge and even then it wasn't entirely his fault we were poor for the years he was in charge.

 

[Cruyff14]

I always liked Woosha

 

[Cooldude]

Matty Knights, enough said

Dogs are going to blow it

 

[chef]

No they're not

 

[Cooldude]

Weren't they 40 odd points ahead? Wtf happened

Finally watched desolation of smaug, good stuff, but talk about leaving you hanginng

We stopped doing what we had been doing for some reason and it gave Richmond some momentum which we struggled to wrestle back. Thank god for Gia.

Im loving the Hobbit trilogy. ......what an epic ending of the second movie.

 

[Cooldude]

Gia is still going? Wtf? Thought he was certain to retire last season, watching that immensely good looking man turning grey in front of our eyes really makes me feel old

2nd one was epic, but Legolas really shit me throughout for some reason, not quite the same one as in the LoTR

Gia was going to retire but we convinced him to stay for one more year.

I did one of these earlier with Lenny Hayes. He is still playing!?

Good win though.

 

[Cooldude]

Lenny could go on forever if he wants to, what a champ, one of the few decent blokes on that playing list

This might be unpopular but I'm also a big fan of Saint Nick. Just think he's always given 100% whether his side was on top or at the bottom of the ladder. Wouldn't have minded if he'd won a premiership during the good years.

Although that would have meant Milne did as well... na stuff Nick, I'm glad they lost

 

[Cruyff14]

Richmond are shit, can't show up to a whole game. Don't think they're gonna do that well.

Considering they really should have lost last week as well.

Truly shows how bad Carlton are. Not looking forward to the flogging we will cop tonight

 

[Cruyff14]

Essendon can **** right off, they will probably smash you though.

 

[Jatz]

Essendon can **** right off, they will probably smash you though.

Oh I agree. Can't stand that bunch even more after what's happened recently. Up there with Collingwood for me now.

 

[Cooldude]

You were right and I was wrong, Jatz

Good team this

 

[Cruyff14]

Carlton are ****ing shit.

 

[Latro]

Matthews is a massive campaigner.

 

[Jatz]

Just appalling from us

It's a good thing Leicester are doing well.

Next year might be tough for you though, you could be hit with a Carlton rebuild and a potential relegation battle.
