2012 AFL Thread III - Why Do We Even Bother With Our Stupid Teams? - Page 26

Alisaura · 08-05-2012, 01:17 AM

Dammit, why did I tip Gold Coast and not GWS? Sigh.

Go Swannies!!

Vlad n U 2 · 08-05-2012, 01:28 AM

Primus (unsurprisingly) told he won't be coaching in 2013. Rehn to be caretaker I believe.

Slopsy · 08-05-2012, 01:41 AM

Damn, I knew picking both GWS and the Suns was just a little too optimistic. I'm so glad Richmond finally got up after three weeks of my futile tipping!

Now I expect that later on this evening I'm going to want to get very, very drunk

Vlad, on the other hand, might be happy!

Vlad n U 2 · 08-05-2012, 01:53 AM

We seriously cannot play in the wet.

Slopsy · 08-05-2012, 02:15 AM

Good

We'll probably still blow it though, idk.

Good luck to whatever poor sap gets the permanent job after Primus.

Now it looks like you're catching up. Don't worry, we'll hand this to you on a platter soon enough.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-05-2012, 02:16 AM

Nice to claw our way back in the end. Essendon are going very well. Umpires have made some ridiculous decisions both ways, none more hurting than the silly Watson HTB right in front of goal.

Alisaura · 08-05-2012, 02:24 AM

The Crows had better get their wellies on, since I tipped them! (Sorry Bombers fans.)

Axver · 08-05-2012, 02:30 AM

I tipped Adelaide too, and had I been required to enter a margin, I'd have tipped the Crows by about 40 or 50.

I see Essendon's accuracy as usual isn't brilliant. Hope that doesn't fuck us up.

And ha, next week Gold Coast plays GWS at Carrara. That'll be tough to tip.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-05-2012, 02:36 AM

Losing to a depleted Essendon team. Fuck my life.

Alisaura · 08-05-2012, 02:39 AM

I'll probably tip GWS for next week's game, considering they've got two wins to Gold Coast's one... but it'll be one of the few chances Gold Coast have had to get a win. Although this week they had a pretty good chance too, and blew it.

bono_man2002 · 08-05-2012, 02:43 AM

Loads of time Vlad, loads of time!

See above re: we'll somehow blow it. You've got two and a half quarters yet!

I think I'll tip Gold Coast, since its their home game. They don't seem to travel well much of the time (unless it's to Cairns to play Richmond, apparently!), and the margin this week against Melbourne wasn't completely embarrassing to them. I think they'll pick up for a home game. Meanwhile GWS had a fair bit of occasion riding on it being Sheedy's 1,000th, and Port were just demoralised and dismal ... probably the loss began before the first bounce, when the Power merrily assembled to help form a guard of honour for Sheeds when he came out and tore through a ceremonial banner. I'm surprised they agreed to that. Yes, roll out the red carpet for the opposition coach, that's exactly the way to get into the right mindset for a must-win game.

The only thing that's giving me hope is that since we're not playing under Neil Craig there's a chance we'll make a comeback.

I thought that was a nice touch, but probably not the best for their pre-game mindset, no.

Fair points... I might just leave that game up to the coin.

Axver · 08-05-2012, 03:27 AM

And heeere's the comeback.

Time for me to head out to Mark Gardener's gig. Even if the Bombers blow this, nothing can stop tonight being awesome.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-05-2012, 04:19 AM

That was way too epic for me to handle. Way too epic. Essendon put in their best match in quite a while with so many outs. We weathered the storm. Wowee.

intedomine · 08-05-2012, 06:17 AM

Thank you, Adelaide.

They let the fans have a kick on the ground after the MCC vs Gold Coast match. Should be done more frequently.

I don't think they should ever have stopped doing that.

Axver · 08-05-2012, 09:38 AM

So you're telling me Essendon lo-

IIIII DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TRUUUUUTH

Thank you, Mark Gardener.
