The 2014 AFL Thread with Wankard and Big Mummy

[Axver]

I was just coming to post "3, 2, 1, to Vlad complaining about the umpires" but I see I was too slow!

 

[Axver]

Now there's a goal not tainted at all. Hell yes Colyer!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Best case scenario Sanderson walks on Monday, all the field umpires involved get sent to the VFL. And Essendon players get their 2 year bans.

Pretty obvious they're giving you a ride this quarter.

 

[Axver]

A couple of dodgy calls, yes. But like I always say, a good team wins no matter what the calls are.

And can't believe we let Jenkins go a couple of years back.

If Howlett wasn't paid that farcical 'goal' I have no doubt the match would still be in the balance.

 

[Alisaura]

Glad I picked the Bombers now, hope they can keep the lead! (Dodgy goal or not)

I don't think the footage was conclusive. Take it as what-goes-around-comes-around for Eddie last week, whatever your frames say.

And heaps of time left yet...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Ugggh.

 

[Axver]

There you go Vlad, the umpires are all over our every error now. I fear we're coughing this up. Oh god Essendon, please don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.

 

[Axver]

Hurley! More like that!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

We're easily the disappointing and frustrating team in the competition. Easily.

 

[Axver]

Goddard seems absolutely buggered.

And damnit Eddie damnit!

North Melbourne rang.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

North Melbourne rang.

At least they're in the fucking 8.

 

[Alisaura]

Don't worry Vlad, you're still going to win this game. Just look at the Bombles' track record after quarter time!

(Seriously, our defence didn't look brilliant and you guys would be a hell of a lot closer with some accurate kicking. Once our offence tires - or gets shut down - things will get very close.)

I was reading back and just saw this... o ye of little faith!

I so badly want the Bombers to win this, just as a F U to ASADA/the AFL and all the shit the players have been put through.

 

[LemonMelon]

Brisbane's total has to be one of the lowest in years, right?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

lol

They deserve to cop every bit of it.

 

[Axver]

OH. THANK. FUCK.

clf

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Lucky you.

 

[Axver]

Given how we just about nearly blew it, and last week when we actually did, I don't think you can blame me!

God we needed that. I'm actually kind of shaking.

 

[Axver]

Can't believe we managed to do that without Jobe too. Good work lads.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Can't wait to hear about how 'brave' the Bombers were.

 

[Alisaura]

So I was right to tip Essendon, Ax was right to tip the Suns... I really must stop under-rating them, especially at Metricon. Or over-rating the Cats away? Either way.

 

[LemonMelon]

So many classic matchups tomorrow, I don't even know where to start...

 

[Alisaura]

And to complete my catch-up on the day's scores... holy shit poor Brisbane.

 

[Alisaura]

Are you at least cautiously optimistic about the Blues' game, Travis?

 

[Axver]

Now let's see tomorrow if I was onto something in tipping GWS or if that was just a daft gamble like the last time I put any faith in them.

 

[Axver]

Brisbane's total has to be one of the lowest in years, right?

Just had a poke around and Freo lost 1.7 13 to Adelaide 19.16 130 in 2009. Can't seem to find anything worse more recently but that's not to say my search was comprehensive, because it certainly wasn't. Both Gold Coast and GWS have always managed to crack at least the 30s.

 

[LemonMelon]

Sure. It's not as if we've been less than competitive in the past month. Every match has gone down to the final quarter and, honestly, outside of a handful of matches (Port, Essendon, Collingwood), we've had a shot near the end every week. I'm sure this match will, at the very least, provide some entertainment. I just hope we can close this one strong like we did against the Crows and Eagles.
