The Thread About Nothing - PART 2 OPEN

[Rustof]

Ugh... I don't want to say they didn't deserve it, you can only beat who you play. I just don't see the Swans as the best team of 2012...

I dunno, maybe I'm just bitter about our missed opportunities...

I reckon they were personally, they knocked over Hawthorn, Collingwood and Adelaide to win it

Who do think were?

 

[Groupie_]

Yep. That's what today was all about for me. Swannies were Tigers by proxy.

The most glorious GF for me since my 80 year old grand mother did an irish jig on a table after our 1980 win

Hahaha

Is it too late to nominate for post of the year?

 

[Rustof]

Who do think were?

Honestly, I didn't see a clear best team of 2012. Only 2 wins separated 1st from 6th.

I just felt that what I saw from Hawthorn and Sydney in 2012 is something I'd expect from a side that would finish ~4-6, not 1st and 3rd. Also can't forget Adelaide who finished equal first, they seemed more like a fringe finals side IMO... - Let's not talk about North...

This year reminds me of Footscray a few years ago (2008-2010) when they would finish around 3rd and then make it to the prelim but lack that extra something to get them into the final. They were always good team, just not a dominant one.

The 2012 season feels like that, though in this scenario, the top 2 teams don't exist so you have a good team that ends up winning not a dominant team.

If that makes sense...

What it goes to show is there aint alot in it....top 4 sides need a bit of luck in the variable department, injuries, draw andwinning their share of closies. Is fair to say that both syd and hawthorn are ot that far ahead of the pack that they are both shoe ins for 2013 play off. Both of those sides will need plenty to go right likethis year if they are to be up there coz there is a tight bunch right up their respective clackers

Go Billy Slater! What a champion!

Totally agree...but the Storm are up against it...the bile of NSW, the establishment...will make this victory ever so sweet as the Storm ( oneill) scores a try GO STORM

 

[Bazzar]

Said it before, but if we could somehow get Cotch to marry Billies sister... Wow, what a Tiger cub that would be.

 

[tigs2010]

Smash these pricks.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Smash these pricks.

The pricks also bite

Little video about the 'don't argue', features the one and only.

Great weekend. Hawks lost and the Storm won.

Slater is an out and out superstar of Australian sport, whilst Ballamy has an amazing ability to not only identify talent but to also get the best out of individuals .

We'll never know how Bellamy would go as an AFL coach. Agreed that he is great at bringing out the best in his players. He would do well as a development coach.

GO STORMS!

IDGAF suggested a while back that Bellamy should be looked at as coach. Didn't say we should get him, but said we could do worse. Everyone scoffed at him, including me. Not so silly now. Bellamy is an absolute genius. True genius.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Slater, Cronk, Smith all stood up tonight, where as Cyril and Buddy's to a lesser extent came apart under pressure. Be really interesting if AFL had a rep level to it. A lot of top NRL players are never able to deliver at the higher levels as their game just doesn't scale.

 

[Bazzar]

And just a heads up for those with Fox footy.

Tuesday morning 4.30am (set the IQ) Round 1 Tiges v Tankers, and every day after they will play the next round, ie; Wednesday v Coll, Thursday v Melb etc. A great way to catch up on the year in the month of October.

Why because he's a good rugby coach?

Good rugby league coach. At least get the sport right.
Just saying. No biggy.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Nearly midday on the first day of free agency...exciting.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Ooop. Pearce to Freo. They kept that quiet.
