The Thread About Nothing - PART 2 OPEN

[Punt_Road_Roar]

Our big 3 rivals are all a joke,

Collingwood has been bent over by Cloke and will now have cap issues for years to come
Carlton, think the answer to all their problems lies with the coach .... (sounds familiar?)
Essendon what can you say, sacked Knights and tried to justify it all by hiring Hird and 2 years later are no better off and are getting desperate for success so they hire Goddard as the answer to all their problems.

It is clear all these clubs are looking for short term answers and no patience.

Will be interesting to see if there is any fallout at the Bummers after squeezing BG into their cap. If it has no effect, then good luck to them. Although four years for a seemingly in decline 28yo is surely overs. If they'd finished top four the past two years, he'd be a perfect fit, but probably more so for 2-3 years I'd have thought.

 

[Livonski]

The desperation that Hird has shown is immense.

Got a touch of the Crazy Vossy about him. Bottomless pit of cash thrown at short term solutions (Bomba, Weapon, assistant coaches, now Goddard...).

It will be fun watching them sack a club legend.

More like a gentle ease into a very abrupt early retirement.

Don't wish it for BJ but imagine if he did a hammy early on?? The place would explode.
Actually bugger it...wouldn't it be great.

See my Essendon Collingwood Carlton thread in the pub .

It just keeps getting better

 

[_RT_]

Cotchin has reportedly asked Brooke to marry him. Looks like all of you with man crushes are going to have to make do with pictures.

Sounds like Richmond fans making excuses

Gotta love Varuker Fans:

Lol what? Now I know not to take any of your posts seriously, Crameri would walk into any teams forward line. I wouldn't trade Crameri for Caddy and I doubt many Essendon supporters would.

Which is why those arrogant overrating flogs are generally regarded as the worst club to deal with. LMAO @ "Untouchable" Craperi! Here's to hasbeen Brendan "2 good seasons out of 10" Goddard leading the Bummers to a glorious third staight May Premiership before he does his hammy. Will the Essenscum loving media let Golden Boy & his The Puppet Master off the hook so easily next year like they did this year? "It was all "The Weapon"'s fault!!" LMAO!!! What a ****ing entitled tosser club they are.

Man crush? We're soul mates. He just doesn't know it.

Lids is marrying Katie very soon too. Fingers crossed that in 20 years time we have 3 Deledios and 3 Cotchins running around for us, toes crossed that they're even better than their fathers

I think Brooke went out with Clint Bartram for a few years.

Also is it just me or do all our players have good looking partners? I haven't seen them all obviously but the ones I have seen have been swish.

I also noticed that the girl that was going out with Dave Gourdis for a while up until recently is now with marc murphy

I feel like a women's gossip magazine right now

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Anyone know what happened with that investigation into Melbourne's tanking of games?

 

[Rustof]

Why would they show footage of Goddard punching the Saints jumper? Seems kinda odd...

Pretty much every AFL player has a stunner for a partner with a few exceptions.
Watching the brownlow just makes me angry that I have zero sporting ability.

Jack is a fairish call, could be higher, but Ivan is very stiff.

49 : Harry Taylor - Geelong
48 : Eddie Betts - Carlton
47 : Lewis Jetta - Sydney
46 : Ryan Griffen - Western Bulldogs
45 : Travis Cloke - Collingwood

I wonder if Cotch is a chance to be number 1

 

[Bazzar]

I reckon around 5 this time. He will need to have a little buffer to put him up a place or two going into his 2013 list. And i wonder if lids will finally get some credit from Mike and will Tucky and Grigg get a gig.

Number 1 will be some controversial selection I'm guessing..

He loves to do it

Buddy by a mile. Mike loves him. Ablett 2, Watson 3, Pendles 4, Swan 5 and Cotch 6 is my tip
