The Official 2007 AFL Season Thread!!!

[cobl04]

Well he's officially quit West Coast. They say he'll go to Carlton, just because of Dick Pratt, who could pay him for the next 30 seasons if he wanted to. Geelong and the Bulldogs are the only clubs to have said they aren't interested apparently. I think the Hawks would be the best fit, especially with Crawford nearing the end and Hodge not being the fastest runner in the world. According to him, he wants to go to a club which has a high chance of success so.. it's all very confusing. The deal's going to be quite complex.

It's strange, had this come up last year, I would have offered half our side for him, but now, I don't see who you could trade.. and we don't have a high enough draft pick to give to him. Not that I'm upset though. Personally I don't want him all that much

And yes I'd heard Cousins is going back.

It's going to be an interesting off season.

All-Australian team named tonight.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Bloody biased team.

 

[cobl04]

All nine? That's almost half the bloody team!

It was pretty average though. McLeod captain?

 

[mysterious_jen]

it was complete bollocks !

 

[cobl04]

i thought buckley deserved a spot.

 

[intedomine]

All Australian Team?

No Kirk, no credibility.

Well I have my ticket for the Pies V Cats game on Friday. I have a 100% Winning Ratio at all preliminary finals I've been too...(ok...so it was only one)...but we need all the help we need!

 

[cobl04]

Because we had all nine players selected, apparently we now have to pay them bonuses!! Plus they're all going to get more money!

Fark...

 

[cobl04]

I'm stressing bad....

 

[mysterious_jen]

you should be its a bloody close game, but poor kicking is a real problem tonite.

 

[cobl04]

ohhhhhh fuck...

 

[mysterious_jen]

ohh fuckity fuck fuck fuck .... we have to pull something out of the bag fast.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Oh God, I completely forgot it's friday.

My heart and head both say the Cats should win, but there would really be a sense of happiness in seeing Geelong kicked out, even if it's the Pies doing the damage.

I'm glad the game's close, at least.

 

[mysterious_jen]

damm i think wer'e fucked

 

[mysterious_jen]

5 fucking points. poor kicking ,




fuck



well done to geelong i suppose .

 

[The Sad Punk]

Bad luck Jen - congrats on getting so close, though.

Go Cats/Kangas GF.

 

[mysterious_jen]

[mysterious_jen]

[The Sad Punk]

I think you've successfully fought back in some way by using the emoticon that Daniel hates.

 

[cobl04]

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE NO HAIR LEFT!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



fuck fuck fuck fuck

can a beanpole 17 y.o. have a heart attack??

 

[intedomine]

Fucking Geelong, I would never have forgiven them if they let Scum make the Grand Final.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Shocking, North!

Cats for '07.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah North were terrible.

 

[intedomine]

Well what would you except with such an ugly and uninspiring list of players. That they were preliminary finalists, let alone non-wooden spooners is a massive surprise.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Right, I'm sure everybody's not feeling so bad about tipping them bottom 8 at the start of the season.

The Eagles or Hawks should have gotten through to the prelims instead, I mean really, North were just ... pitiful.

 

[cobl04]

It's exactly why I'm sick of this "shinboner spirit" bullshit. It doesn't exist. They heralded it in all the papers after they beat the Hawks. "In seven days the Kangas have turned it all around with the help of the shinboner spirit." They even put it on the front of the sport yesterday.

Shut up!

 

[mysterious_jen]

north were awful im fucking dissapointed in them . glen archer would be pissed . hawthorn would have done a better job.

 

[cobl04]

Geelong just flogged Coburg for the VFL premiership, and with Selwood winning the Rising Star there's just two to go... please...

 

[intedomine]

VFL has been shit ever since it was no longer the VFA and the AFL took over what was a cool league.

Shinboner Spirit is piss weak and a media-made myth, as was Archer's skill. Just a handy player he was. If Shinboner Spirit was real, how come the club is always on the brink of re-location ,merger or extinction.

 

[cobl04]

Spot on again. The VFL used to be just that, cool, now it's this insignifcant "oh one of our players got dropped to there" thing.
