A.F.L. Thread II

[BoyBrumby]

**** me, how long has Jeremy from The Levellers been playing for Essendon? White men with dreads: that's a custodial sentence IMHO.

Meanwhile Spikey pissing the DT this week. I'm having a ****ing mare.

 

[Jono]

He doesn't play anymore. Sheedy loved him though.

Saw him having a kick at Windy Hill when he shaved his dreadlocks off one day.

 

[Spikey]

that Courtney Johns played a game of football, let alone kick 3 goals in a low scoring win against collingwood, is pretty amazing. His hip was ****ing ruined . What a hero

 

[Spikey]

Really like the changes to Port's team

 

[Jono]

If Port had Robbie Gray I'd have them favourites tbh. Odds were crazy having Saints around 1.4.

Saints should still come back but this was a 50/50 or at worst 55-45 match.

I don't know any of these people, is that a good or a bad thing?

Quality posting.

Jono to have a field day with this.

Was really tempted by Port.

fmd I was tempted.

And hence I tipped them, since I have balls.

You just never get a chance to use them.

ftr i don't mcintosh + goldstein combo working out for awhile. it could. but it'll take some time

 

[Jono]

I know who I'd get rid of.

I'm sorry but as a Richmond fan, after what your team dished up on Thursday night you have no right to say anything on football.

 

[Jono]

Oh wow we had a poor last quarter against a top 4-5 team. So what.

Have a cry Benchy. You give it you take it.

You should be a good sport like David King

It won't and shouldn't.

We were so good around the middle last year because Goldy was such a beast, now we play him in a backline position for great parts of the game while a ruckman not as good (but still good) takes our taps.

Goldstein and McIntosh shouldn't play in the same team. Cam Pederson needed to play as soon as we lost Grima or Hansen, let alone both. We had Drew Petrie playing in the ruck in parts on Saturday ffs. I love Hamish, played at my local club back home, but we should have traded him when he was still valuable on the market, then drafted a mature rookie ruck as back up.

He'll play some really top class games this year, but for the make up of our team, he shouldn't be in there.

Such pretenders. So much overhype. Horrible football team. Horrible culture.

 

[Spikey]

hey you had a pretty poor first half too

It won't and shouldn't.
(and so forth)

Good post. I really don't get why clubs are so hesitant to trade surplus talent. I mean obviously I do a bit, but McIntosh (& Clark) were pretty simply people to put on the trading block, and neither was and it's just poor list management. Stephenson played for your VFL team too didn't he? Oh well. Not my problem. Just weird.

Good on ya Benchy, I know my club is poor. But that doesn't mean I can't have a crack at North when they do something poor. Especially considering you give me **** for Richmond coming 9th all the time and your team has done it in the last two seasons.

You dish it out plenty, you have to be able to cop it too.

On that note:

 

[Jono]

Winning at quarter time, down by 3 goals at half time against a team some picked to be a premiership contender, most picked to end up top 4.

Hardly that bad.

Richmond lost the plot in the last 12 minutes of the match. Considering Melbourne lost to Brisbane and St Kilda to Port, it hardly was that bad a performance.

 

[benchmark00]

Have a go at North, I clearly don't care ****. Just giving it back.

It just boggles my mind how a team can be so poor for so long, and still be so poor. Stevie Wonder assembling the Tigers list??

Just mediocrity personified.
