It's just that we aren't very well positioned to absorb them

we are in a world of pain

 

[Haso]

Yeah, agreed. People just have a tendency to remember the situations that affect us and discount the ones that happen at other clubs.

I believe Haso calls it Confirmation Bias.

It's literally everywhere.

The only thing that might not be standard is having it happen to one of your top 5 players. Would say only Adelaide is in that boat from memory (walker).

Patton at GWS and LeCras at WCE arguably top 5 too.

 

[Elixuh]

I don't like Caro that much either - but surely that's a bit extreme?

Unsure if sarcasm. And I was referring to Lloyd.

Yeah you're right

Last year's grand finalists had seven between them in the one year, granted none were top-5 players - Bradley, Griffin, Morabito, Suckling, Schoenmakers, Woodward and Whitecross.

EDIT: actually thinking about it, I think Whitecross did his the year before in the prelim, and Morabito was late 2012 as well.

I rekon we are averaging an ACL a year. Beams has had 1 or 2. Staker has had 2. Rich now has had 1. Has to be worse than most clubs.

I think we feel it worse because we rely on too few players.

Should be in the positives thread, but I bet Rich is thinking thank god he doesn't have to wear the paddlepop again!

He now has the whole year to help plan for his wedding and start breeding.

They should combine sperm with Hanley, Rich and Rocky and make a super baby. #notingaywayyaknow

So when are we getting back our old Fitzroy lions jumper

 

[Dylan12]

It shits me that in the lead up to this week's game that the Lions are being portrayed as the bad guys in regards to Polec's departure. As much as the media are Vic-centric, if there is one non-Victorian side that are the darlings of the Vic media, even more so than the typical ugly duckling Vic clubs, except the Bulldogs, its Port.

And people wonder why I hate them so much.

polec never ever wanted to play for us , not from when his name was called and he stood next to voss , blind freddy could see it in his face. kid stuffed around in brisbane going at 30% at best till he could nick off , it was plain as day

time to move on yep in reflection due diligence wasn't preformed on him , that's our fault not his , still think the wild child thing will come out at port , give it time

irish from hobart might be sending out mixed messages, I will have to ask Billy Field. Although... iirc i think he also had some bad habits.
