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

[Axver]

See the Bombers fly down! down!
To fall out of the top eight!



Up until yesterday, I thought the recent losses were just a bad spell in the season and that we'd recover some momentum and probably at least make it to the first week of the finals. Now? I think it's pretty clear the wheels have fallen off after such a damn good start to the season. We're going to get slaughtered by Hawthorn next week! Doesn't help that North Melbourne are on the ascendancy; ninth as of last night?!

And that St Kilda vs Geelong game last night actually proved to be fairly decent. If the Saints hadn't had such a wretched second quarter, that could've gone down to the wire. I'm just glad they didn't get blown totally off the park.

Down five 20 minutes in? Fuck us. Fuck the whole damned sport and everything it represents. I don't need this shit. I don't need our coach's shit. Fuck the world. Fuck. /Vlad

 

[Vlad n U 2]

If only I had used more profanity than I usually do.

 

[LemonMelon]

I've got to make it my own too.

3 unanswered goals since I started watching.

 

[LemonMelon]

Carlton shouldn't be up by this much, but Sydney is just hideously inaccurate.

Holy shit, Freo.

 

[LemonMelon]

Taking the foot off the gas up by 40 now, but the point is made: great win, and now that we're only 2 points away from catching Collingwood, next week's challenging home match against West Coast is of utmost importance. I'm far more afraid of the Eagles than the Swans: Sydney just can't score right now. I certainly like the Magpies over the Swans by a large amount next week, even on the road.

I'd be 150 fucking bucks richer if essendon had got up. Cunts.

You don't have $150 and I don't have my footy pride. Bad weekend!

lulz Freo, though.

 

[Axver]

Oh and ...

Zing!

Hurn must be just about the most underrated player in the league.

Hurn must be just about the most underrated player in the league.

I agree with this so much.

Those two bombs he kicked. And the way he throws himself over EVERYTHING.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Travis, looking forward to playing your side in a week. Keep in mind that I hate Carlton with the power of a thousand suns, but I'll probably tip them anyway.

 

[bono_man2002]

7 winners for mine this week. Missed out on Melbourne, fucking bastards.

West Coast has let down a few times this year at key moments, but otherwise, I think they're a pretty damn strong team, the best one we've faced since Geelong, most assuredly. I like our odds with Kreuzer playing his best footy right after surgery for whatever reason, but it should be a very good one.

Turns out Ned Kelly played for Willi!

omg juys whos hotest wag!!!!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I hope you voted for NicNat as the hottest player.

 

[cobl04]

"Who is the best bloke?" really?

Fair to say Vlad did not select Neil Craig for best coach.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I seriously don't know who I'd pick.

 

[cobl04]

Chris Scott is the only answer, as is picking Geelong or Geelong players for every single question, because we are just ridiculously good.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Yeah, either him or Malthouse.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Scott Stevens retired today. Good servant for the club.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I hope you voted for NicNat as the hottest player.

Oh necessarily.

Picked Bartel for all the others though (Daisy for the bloke that annoys me).

Of course, here I am completely unashamed about taking a silly quiz on a crappy news site.

 

[Axver]

Hawthorn will be without Roughead and Franklin this week. Essendon may actually get within 25 rather than 50!

 

[cobl04]

Scott Stevens retired today. Good servant for the club.

Concussion symptoms 24/7... very worrying.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Yeah, indeed. Seemed to happen everytime he played against Freo, he got concussed.

 

[Axver]

Thought I'd do my picks now.

Hawthorn vs Essendon
Gold Coast vs Dogs (really hard to pick)
Richmond please vs Melbourne
Sydney vs Collingwood
Freo vs Lions
Geelong vs Sorry, Vlad
Carlton vs Weagles
Port vs North Melbourne

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hawthorn vs Essendon
Gold Coast vs Dogs
Richmond vs Melbourne
Sydney vs Collingwood
Freo vs Lions
Geelong vs Vladelaide
Carlton vs Eagles
Port vs North Melbourne

Is it bad that I think Port could still be a fairly decent side if they just got their confidence up? They had a pretty brilliant stretch in the third quarter against us.

[Vlad n U 2]

Hawthorn vs Essendon
Gold Coast vs Dogs
Richmond vs Melbourne
Sydney vs Collingwood
Freo vs Lions
Geelong vs Vladelaide
Carlton vs Eagles
Port vs North Melbourne

Is it bad that I think Port could still be a fairly decent side if they just got their confidence up? They had a pretty brilliant stretch in the third quarter against us.

Eh, maybe but very unlikely. They've a pretty weak list but are capable of putting a strong quarter in every match or so. I think your third quarter had more to do with you since that was the second week running you let a team come back in the third quarter. So I think it's more about your guys than the opponent. Still a fantastic team to watch when up and running, attractive game style.
