Another 2011 AFL thread - still pretending GWS is all just a bad dream

[The Sad Punk]

Eagles were insipid today.

Eh, we had them playing their best footy at their home ground that we hadn't played on all year, I'm pretty happy to "only" lose by 50. Last year, we'd have lost by over 100 without them even trying. Never thought we'd get within a sniff anyway, shows what the media gets for hyping us and the Tiges over the week.

Eagles haven't beaten Collingwood at the G since 95!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Mick was our coach, Woosha our captain.

Jeez, doesn't feel like long ago...

I fell asleep during the third quarter, but I definitely was enjoying the hell out of the Brisbane game. Was the first one I had the opportunity to follow live, and it was quite the nail biter during the time I was awake.

Fucking Hawthorne. I'm more irritated than I assumed I would be that they passed us up. Truly believe that Carlton is the 3rd best team in the league, having lost to Collingwood and Geelong (barely; hell of a game) and tied Essendon, who I believe we play again at home later in the year. Oh well, we've got Hawthorne at home to close the season, so we'll have our chance. Not that it will likely matter a great deal at that point. Pretty obvious who the top 5 or so teams are right now, though the top 8 has hardly formed itself.

Hawthorne...................................................................................... Hawthorne

Hawthorn.

I think Richmond wins if last night 's game is in Melbourne.

That's the only reason I didn't tip them.

Bahaha you picked North.

Bahaha. You barrick for Adelaide

Zing!

I'm still trying to understand what 'barrick' means.

Context clues, Vladders.

bar·rack 2 (brk)
v. bar·racked, bar·rack·ing, bar·racks
v.intr.
1. Chiefly British To jeer or shout at a player, speaker, or team.
2. Australian To shout support for a team.
v.tr. Chiefly British
To shout against; jeer at.

I like how the British and Australian uses of the phrase are exact opposites.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Anyone here giving a Saints a chance this weekend? I can only see them being beaten comfortably.

Will it count as a win if they lose by less than 30?

 

[bono_man2002]

Depends which Collingwood turns up really. I haven't seen any of the West Coast game, so can't really say. But they have been ordinary since whoever we played before Geelong....frick who was it?

Not that there's anything wrong with that ... well, maybe in the past two years.

I'd kill for 2009 form again.

A typo of 'barrack'!

Seriously, what the hell happened? You guys were awesome going into the 2009 finals. Even I was cheering for the Crows then.

Khunt suspended for something you wouldn't bat an eyelid at in the NRL

I don't know. Last year it was a shit preseason, this season is a mix of sorts such as injuries/game plan/effort.

 

[bono_man2002]

Ben Rutton was holding Jack Anthony, that's what happened

 

[Vlad n U 2]

*Rutten

Still one of the very best full backs in the competition though.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Port...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I hate them but they must not die.

 

[The Sad Punk]

That's the spirit!

What the hell is going on with football in this state.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I don't think I've ever felt this worried about my team before. My usual optimism is not re-emerging mid-week anymore, and if it, it's barely surfacing.

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh I get it.
