Autopsy Well beaten v swamsn

[An Ardenary Life]

1995 - a completely inept Sydney team beat our top 4 quality side at the MCG. The Sam Newman tutu bet game.

1996 - H&A Sydney beat us by 89 points at Princes Park. Thankfully we got them back that year when it mattered.

Ah that's right! Dang, we owe them haha.

I got gastro watching us...

On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I didn't watch it but still got gastro. Mild case, must be different on the replay.

Gastro, glandular fever, dick cheese whatever the **** it was the chances we had to break even on that Sydney shithole that every Victorian club hates except Collingwood is what sealed our fate.

Watching back the replay, we tried to possess, move and extract but Sydney with the home ground advantage absolutely fisted us.

That ground is like GMHBA in terms of advantage. It's broken.

But apparently only 5m shorter and 5m narrower than the MCG (apart from the flat spot on one flank). It's just an optical illusion that the centre square overlaps where the 50m arc should be and that two good kicks and a handball are all that's needed to go coast to coast (if the kicker can avoid the congestion caused by 35 other players and 4 umpires taking up almost the whole ground).





LOL... Regarding the oval supposedly only being 5m shorter and 5m narrower than the MCG, some brainwave posted on twitter that this makes it only 25 square metres smaller in area than the MCG.

I'm not watching the replay just in case.

Couldn't have been any uglier. They missed a heap of sitters and the scoreline flattered us in the end.

What coach was smoking joints during the game to give Blakey a vote? He played like ass.

I love the big souv but those two misses in the second seemed to kill the game as a contest. They missed a heap of easy goals.

Best voting system by a mile. There's active disincentive for coaches to vote up their own players after poor performances.

Logan McDonald a typo yeh? I'm assured he's an absolute dud on here.

I’m gonna go watch the replay and see if anything changes.
Souv never misses 4 in a row.

Horse rubbing it in I reckon.

Interesting.

If I'm Longmire, I'm giving Curtis Taylor votes.

Just to **** with my opposing number (and the player himself) heads.

Half way through Q1 I started to type a message for the GD thread along the lines of... Looks like we actually did get the good L. McDonald.

For some reason, I never got to hit the POST button. Not sure how I dodged that bullet.

Curtis might have actually believed it though.

Speaking of Ainsley, Richard Simmons shuffled off this mortal coil last week.
