The Thread About Nothing - PART 2 OPEN

[tugga]

Adelaide Show? **** me.
Good to see they have their priorities right over there.
Wouldn't want to forgo a slab of West End would we?

 

[pan_]

It was their second-lowest crowd at AAMI this year behind only the GWS game.

 

[Harmichael]

Jeez Zac Clarke is a hack, can't believe some people want him.

Don't see Silvagni adding to his family's honours at this level either.

 

[DrMike]

Thought Freo got the rough end by the umps in that

 

[Blaz]

No wonder our season went down the pooper when these two got injured.

and i reckon a fit vickery would be up there

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Daisy goes bang bang bang to start the third.

I'm getting deja vu.

 

[tugga]

Nicnat is the most overrated footballer in the comp. Don't me wrong. Kid can play and has unlimted potential, but is constantly overrated by the media to the point where it is sickening now.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Am watching the Filth v West Coke and have to switch off the sound because of the moronic filth fans booing EVERY bloody THING...freakin cretins they are

 

[tugga]

Looks like the whining west has been silenced. Both teams over and out for 2012. Good riddance.

You seriously happy with the filth winning? WTF!

Never said I was happy did I? Two filthbags playing each other.

You just seem content with the result should WC lose..As much as I dont like WC, would always prefer a loss to the filth...anyways, I hope they both smash each other

For all the dislike I have of Collingwood, I at least have some semblence of respect for them. I have zero respect for Essendon (irrelevant pissant of a club with no soul) and I outright hate the club that Carlton is (cheats, think they can buy their way out of everything). Collingwood, for all its 'Collingwoodness' at least plays by the rules and is relevant.

 

[IDGAF]

How many times was Daniel Kerr mauled or taken out or tackled without the ball tonight .. stood out like dogs balls

 

[Richo is God]

that was bloody painful to watch knowing collingwood were going to win with 10 mins to go

Just a reminder that even though this thread is a bit more liberal than all others, I will not waste my time cleaning up posts from people who actively avoid the swear filter. Your posts will (and have been) be deleted.

I agree totally.

Just back from the game and admired the way they came back into this game. I have respect for this team.

Still think they will lose next week.

Re nic nat ( or no stat) as I am starting to think of him. What an overrated player he is. Mr No Impact. Give him a number three haircut and take away his Fijian ancestory and he will be struggling to hold his spot.

Wow what a big call...

I just think he's still a young player learning the game against big bodied players in pressure cooker finals campaigns...

Still suprised he has'nt been poached by some big basketball club from the states...

Would be a big impact in the game over there with his enormous leap...

(still why would you recruit nic nat when you can pick up jack watts)

Not saying he won't make it but the fact that he is always a walk up start is a bit of a mystery to me, his form away from subi is well poor really.

He has amazing basketball skills so I understand your comment .

Away from Perth he drops off big time been saying it for a while, still gets the numbers hit out's ect, but his influence is almost nothing. He has a few mates at that club though.

And WTF is it with the umpiring changing come finals time. How many throws and holding the ball were let go tonight?

 

[Tigerbob]

Went to the game tonight. Terrific match, lot's of pressure which forced a lot of errors.

Thought the Pies deserved their win. Tackling in the second half and their want to take the game on was better than the Eagles. Thought Ben Reid and Pendlebury were best on ground, Beams special particularly early, but my word is Daniel Kerr a warrior. Just have to respect him. Actually thought both backlines held up well. McKenzie was brilliant on Cloke, Glass was his always great self, the other end, Ben Reid as I said was BOG with Nathan Brown holding his own.

Three players I want to have a go at for WCE.

Andrew Embley. I think this bloke has sh!t for brains. Honestly some of the dumbest things I have seen straight out of the Daniel Jackson notebook. My word, when the heat is put on this bloke, he becomes a mental midget.

Luke Shuey, is he the most overrated player going around. Wanted to see him up close and set the game alight. Or even at least contribute. He just didn't fire a shot, tumbled throughout the whole game and did not do anything. The Eagles played a man down.

Nic Nat. The kid is twenty and going to be a dead set freak. But he hates the MCG. He becomes useless on it. How a guy can go from dominating and jumping and running around like the best athlete in the world one week, to looking like an average player the next on the home of football is amazing. He is a Subi specialist. Mentally they need to work on him. As I said, very young and has time, just a trait I see developing.

In the end, Collingwood deserved winners, if West Coast don't have a nightmare injury season next year, they will go close to winning the whole thing.

Agreed

Tonight was further proof that the decision review is an absolute farce. The right call was made in the end but who called for it to be reviewed? It had to be someone from upstairs surely, they were about to restart the game from the middle.

It absolutely infuriates me that the AFL implement new rules after a 4 week trial in the NAB cup when clearly it clearly needs to be more refined and clear cut. When was the last time a season had no rule changes from the previous year?

.

He will be 23 at around round 4 next year and has played 76 games. In those games he has a game high of 6 marks which he has only done once?

Just not good enough for all the hype.

He is a ruckman so usually you give them till 24 and they peak after that. Look he is a special talent, needs refining and a lot of development but I have no doubt it will come. The kid was raw. His game last week was special. Unstoppable.

Needs to do it on the G, against the best. Jolly ate him tonight.
