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

[bono_212]

...afl.com's got it at 0.00 4th quarter. wtf.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Yeah, it's frozen for me there... so I've been looking at Bigfooty for updates (I spy a Vlad! Creepy!).

I've been supporting the Crows as if they were my own team tonight, really thought they could take this. About the worst second half you could ask for from a side.

 

[bono_212]

Every where I look seems to be all fucked up. On the main page it says it's 71 up 0:00 4th Quarter. On the game's page, it says it's 71-59 Adelaide 13:00 in. On Fox Sport's site it says it's 71-78 Ess with 8 minutes to go.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

About the worst team in the history of the football club you could ask for.

Can't wait until Craig is gone.

Crows 73 - 84 Essendon

Thanks, Bonster. Appreciate ya.

If there's one thing I've learned this year, things can change really fast. So best of luck to you guys for the rest of the year, and hopefully you'll win a few more in the next.

Right back atcha, tiger!

I'd rather forfeit the rest of the year to be honest!

Rawr.

Enjoy the win Axver wherever you are!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Apparently Craig slammed the phone down and stormed out of the box after the game. Getting closer to his resignation.

 

[The Sad Punk]

The city wants blood.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They'll try and drive him out of town until they realise he's actually from town.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Which part of town? They could put a wall around it. I'm pretty sure something like that could work without fail.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I have had many a dream of putting a 10m high wall around Elizabeth, as cruel as it may seem.

 

[The Sad Punk]

That's not cruel, that's sensible.

 

[cobl04]

We switched it off midway thru the second and put a hip hop DVD instead. Crows were dominating.

Alwyn Davey will hopefully be out for at least a month after that tunnelling incident in the first term. Dog.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Johncock got injured. When he was dominating.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

That's not cruel, that's sensible.

Might need to evacuate the minorities of average intelligence first, though.

 

[Axver]

Enjoy the win Axver wherever you are!

Haha. I was asleep thanks to the wonder of timezones/being old and feeble. Judging by that miserable first half, I'm glad I didn't stay up to at least follow the beginning! I was terrified we'd somehow blow this after two good wins. Bit nervous about facing Carlton next week ... our crappy first quarters seem to have returned.

Alwyn Davey will hopefully be out for at least a month after that tunnelling incident in the first term. Dog.

What happened? Charlotte's quite fond of him!

 

[Axver]

Oh, and so much of lulz at the Heath Shaw, et al. betting thing.

 

[bono_man2002]

The afl want to make an example of him? Fucking suspend him for the finals as well you fuckwits. I don't understand this league, they cannot be consistent with anything.

That said I'll be putting $20 Maxwell to kick the first goal next week, he's a shaw thing!

 

[Alisaura]

Oh wow, I thought it was all over for Essendon when I checked the score in the third quarter, it was 62 - 23 or something.

From the phone-slamming incident, it sounds more like the Crows coach was getting ready to murder some of his crappy players...!

 

[Alisaura]

Also, I love this headline for an article on the AFL site:

"Injuries hurt us, concedes Craig"

I know what it means, but... No, really? Next thing he'll be saying that gravity keeps us on the ground...

I thought it was Collingwood who suspended him... guess I was wrong.

I can't understand why Maxwell was fined. From the sounds of it he was sitting around the dinner table with his family and said, "Mick's actually starting me in the forward line this week". $10k? Get fucked.

I was gonna put money Maxwell this week, but I'm not 100% shaw.

What happened? Charlotte's quite fond of him!

Matt Jaensch went up for a mark and Davey sort of ran into his lower body, which is called tunnelling, and he landed on the ground injuring his shoulder.

 

[cobl04]

You will all want to download the podcast of The Rub (mmm) today. Fucking hilarious.

 

[intedomine]

So Maxwell can't talk about his job with his family? Don't really understand why he was fined. If one of these family members decides to use this information to place a bet, that's just a fruit of their fortunate circumstance as a footballer's relative. There's more dubious activity going on in horse racing, and not just the animal exploitation.

Anyway, it's a boring issue. More interesting is the big St Kilda vs West Coast match tonight. Should be a cracker.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

"Injuries hurt us, concedes Craig"

They did to a degree, but for god's sakes, the man doesn't stop using excuses for his very poor football club.

 

[LemonMelon]

Carlton was within 4 until I started actively paying attention.

Gold Coast is looking good, but the other half of the game looms.
