He said we were the biggest disappointment in the competition.

Brisbane, Saints, Dogs, Dees and Giants all below us on the ladder, but more interestingly, Adelaide, North and West Coast, all finalists last year are only above us by percentage. I would suggest that these teams might be a bit more of a disappointment.

Damian Barrett is just a nerd. No one listens to him. Any idiot can break news.

*Hutchi sorry, Barrett is a tool too though.

 

[UP AND RUNNING]

Yeah

Oh mate, not at all questioning your word. Never would. Just reckon it may be an expectation, not a KPI

I suppose KPI is a strong a word - expectations does sound better......Lets go with that and we are both happy.

 

[UP AND RUNNING]

If it pisses you off you can imagine how I feel!!

He is a has been and just says idiotic things to get attention. GC will be around a hell of a lot longer than that mug... I never listen to anything he says as he is not highly regarded in the industry by anyone.

Can't stand either.

Can we please play swallow in the midfield?? I know he's doing well in the backline but he's all class and we need his kicking/handball skills through the midfield. Also shaw is still my favourite whipping boy. Hunt starting to really annoy me, is more likely to point were people should run then run himself and 2 disposals at half time?? Get out of the way and let one of our gun mids have a go please.

Agree on Hunt but Swallow butchers the ball to often, needs to not just get it but USE IT, I don't care what number draft pick you are EARN YOUR SPOT

A few of his kicks don't hit the mark but he's still desent by foot, he is proberly in the top 3 for handball effiency in the club. Shaw butchers the ball more than Swallow lol. Still gets gifted 4 quarters of footy.

Yeah I agree with this. Swallows kicking isn't really that bad he's just not good for a number 1 draft pick as it stands.

Whitfield, Patton, Scully, Watts. He's better or has done more than all of those guys. Fair to say he's the best number 1 pick of the last 5 years.

Sorry I meant his kicking, not him in general. Would take him before any of those blokes.

Would love to hear what everyone bitching about our performance last weekend has to say about the free vs pies game.

 

[Big Red Machine]

One of the spud commentators on Seven just referred to us as one of the bottom 3 teams, lumping us in with the Giants and the dees.

Words to the effect of "check the ladder" "[expletive deleted]" and "spud" may have been used.

 

[Dammit]

Haha I don't blame you!

 

[kreglze]

After the first game today, no one should be lumping us with GWS, I don't think we even looked that pathetic ever.

 

[gotassieboys]

Just reported on FOX: Frawley said Dixon was playing and if I heard correctly (Healey) Melbourne and GCS had 1 win each!!!!!!!!!

Heard that too, Was hoping one of you guys picked it up.

He using it better now he's playing from HB. Think not having the constant pressure of being in the packs is helping him hit targets.

 

[gotassieboys]

This is a general complaint. If zac smith is penalised for contact for a throw in then the rules commission need to be sacked for the good of the game.

If and when they do, it is a huge insult to our club, players and its fans

If they do then it will reflect on their lack of understanding of football in general.

picked up on that too. also, karmichael hunt was a late withdrawal! guess we have another k hunt who was listed out as injured on thursday

they (in particular healey) really have no idea what theyre talking about

 

[TheSunGod]

Now I know Gerard Healy used to play for Melbourne and that he doesn't have anything particularly nice to say about our club unless he has to, but this following piece of work shows downright disrespect...



(Love Huddo's reaction...priceless )

 

[Thermo]

I just want to reiterate how little Gerard knows about football. Doesn't even know how many wins we've had.

 

[Dammit]

I want to vent somewhere about the utter crap Melbourne started today. Don't know if I was caught on tv, but there were so so many late and cheap hits from those dogs today. Sylvia's one looked deplorable bu I haven seen the replay? Looked like a 4-5 weeker?

It's like they thought at some point: if we can't beat em, lets hurt em.

Disgusting filth of a club hat I never will have any time or respect for.
