2012 AFL Thread III - Why Do We Even Bother With Our Stupid Teams? - Page 15

Axver · 07-23-2012, 01:26 AM

Every time I wake up after drinking heavily with an extremely and uneventfully poor hangover, I'm pretty pleased with myself.

bono_man2002 · 07-23-2012, 05:53 AM

But it's usually forgotten by now!

bono_man2002 · 07-24-2012, 01:50 AM

So where's Travis going to be earning his millions next season? I hope he goes to Freo and never Plays finals again.

cobl04 · 07-24-2012, 01:55 AM

What a farce.

intedomine · 07-24-2012, 02:57 AM

But how dramatically he has turned from being one of the better forwards in the league into a spud! And Dawes has had a poor season as well.

It shows how exemplary the Carringbush midfield is, Pendlebury, Beams, Sidebottom... And Swan is just a machine of efficiency and effectiveness that churns out 40-odd touches a game, and does it do effortlessly and nonchalantly! What a star

Vlad n U 2 · 07-24-2012, 04:14 AM

I'm not sure one ordinary season is enough to spud make ...

bono_man2002 · 07-24-2012, 04:50 AM

He's far from being a spud, I'll give him that. He's a douche, a daddy's boy who probably would be still living on their couch if not for the money he's mad through footy. I'm not bagging the guy because I'm a Collingwood fan, I want the guy to succeed (I suppose my earlier post was not showing that) I'm bagging the guy because he and his "management" have made this whole fucking thing about him. The old saying is a no one player is bigger than the club could not be truer. Pendles signed a one year extension last year because he knew about he CBA then signed for another 2 after this year. Swannie could care less about money as long as he can eat a few extra cheeseburgers every weekend. Beams took a pay cut, he's been superb this year. Could have got a lot more money elsewhere. Daisy, Sidey et all have probably taken less for a better chance at success.

Trav is the exception and has had a shocking year, but no way is he worth as much even If he is a former AA. He and Dawes barely deserve a spot in the squad at the moment. (this isn't coming from the loss on the weekend either) I can't recall the last game we won of Clokes boot. He was pretty good in a losing squad in the GF last year.

I'm just so glad the club has put its foot down and the clokes will either realise how stupid they are or he goes to another club.

Calling for a minor upset: Adelaide, with their impressive 6-2 road record, will beat the Cats. I think.

In spite of missing those three tips earlier in the season, I'm only two games back.

Is Dawes out of contract? Because I wouldn't be hurrying to re-sign him if he is.

bono_man2002 · 07-24-2012, 06:20 PM

I think they re-signed Dawes last year. He just hasn't be able to recapture his 2010 form.

cobl04 · 07-24-2012, 06:31 PM

Back then it was Dawes plus, no fuss.

Axver · 07-24-2012, 06:31 PM

I'm surprised he's still in the team on the basis of his current form! I guess you've got nobody right now who can fill that spot?

I'm glad I'm not the only person who's made this joke.

Zing!

Some dochebag of a member that sat a few rows behind me always used to yell out "OPEN THE DAWES!" when he took a mark or kicked a goal.

Anyone know a good (free) Android app for getting live AFL scores?

Reggo · 07-25-2012, 12:03 AM

I am ready to announce the AFL team I barrack for. After careful consideration and viewing several matches this year, with much apologies to Essendon, Geelong, and...whatever third team I mentioned (carlton? hawthorn? I forget & CBF to go look), I am proud to say that I support the Richmond Tigers Football Club.

You can all stop teasing me about barracking for too many teams now.

You may continue teasing me for being a Tiges supporter.

LemonMelon · 07-25-2012, 12:14 AM

This is good.

The stars will align and the Blues will beat the Tigers so badly that you reconsider.

Minor upset? Not that I'm convinced we're certainties to win against Geelong but it would hardly be an upset. We should be favourites.

Nope. I don't even care that they're having a losing season right now. I love my Tiges and that's it.
