The Thread About Nothing - PART 2 OPEN

[Harmichael]

LMAO @ Bummer fans over Goddard - two good seasons out of ten.

Mind you that kind of strike rate -even without finals- often sees players afforded god-like status by certain supporters at our club too.

Newman?

 

[Harmichael]

Newman?

Hey now - he's had at least 3 1/2 good seasons.

They overpayed badly for Goddard.

Probably on 900k for all we know.

This was another gem
"As for us, Goddard was the coup to end all coups. With Monfries, Slattery, Lonergan and McVeigh all gone I very much doubt that Goddard's presence in our salary cap is even that noticeable. He literally has cost us nothing."

?? that's like saying I've lost 10 kilos by amputating a limb

Cost us nothing? 800k minimum per season.

Seriously hope Knights outperforms him in 2013.

I'm not a religious man, but God, Jeebus, Buddah, Allah, the seven principles of Kwanzaa, Superman or Christian Bale... if you are out there, please make this true.

You forgot to mention Hirdy.

More proof the AFL's expansionist propaganda is a crock of shit:

I found this bit particularly interesting:

So much for "growing the game". Begs the question - what exactly are they spending it on then? Seems to me that not only are they plundering all our talent, they're sureptitiously using our tax dollars to do it.​

Last time is was up there they were using the money to pay local councils to convert facilities to AFL ovals and kick off the junior league clubs. Giants are definitely going about things the wrong way.

The AFL seemed to have cooked the books on their attendance figures as they are posting half capacity figures when you'd be lucky to see one in four seats filled.

You forgot to mention Hirdy.

No I didn't, he is a false idol

Jordan Russel to Collingwood

Jordan Russel to Collingwood

Saw that, interesting pick up

Crazy Bucks?

I liked this off the North board about our forward line:

King, Edwards, Knights and Nahas gone within 18 months. It's C grade.
Seriously, they'll get to a point where they realise they should have done it properly and built a forward line and North will front with Black, Tarrant, Hansen, Wright, Harper, Thomas and beat them by 1000.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

So Broughton to GCS for pick 37?

Is Wellingham a 20 pick better player than Broughton? Personally, I'd have put them about on par.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

I liked this off the North board about our forward line:

Convenient of Artaxx to exclude the likes of Vickery, Elton, O'Hanlon but include Harper and Black
Also, I don't know which Edwards he was referring to, but I'm guessing it was Aaron, not Shane.

 

[DrMike]

I liked this off the North board about our forward line:

Probably shouldn't leave the person posting in that quote, people should be able to say what they want on their own board

 

[RichoLedio]

Funny stuff

 

[Groupie_]

Melbourne fans think they've killed it this trade period

They get Dawes and Rodan and then question why we took Chaplin and Grimes

 

[3rdManUp]

For such a "dud" team, they sure do love to talk about us a lot

 

[Bojangles17]

I liked this off the North board about our forward line:

Lol...tarrant thomas and hanson, talk about spuds....nahas will possibly finish his career kicking more goals than all of them

 

[TiggerMan22]

Alright bro.

Sydney, Eagles, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Geelong, Dockers, Essendon, Brisbane top 8 in 2013.
Bookmark it, flog.
Have fun having yet another disappointing season for your average team.
We'll meet back this time next year to re-evaluate for 2014 yes?

One the Brisbane board.
When did Brisbane supporters become so delusional?

Lol we murdered them up there missing 3-4 key players.

Flog indeed

Don't see them making the 8 for 2 years minimum.

By the way is Tambling getting delisted at the crows?

By the way is Tambling getting delisted at the crows?

I don't think that decision has been made yet. If they recieve a 2 for 1 deal re: Tippett, they will have to cull one and Tambling will be the one, one would think.
