2012 AFL Thread III - Why Do We Even Bother With Our Stupid Teams? - Page 3

Oh dear, rarely has a player blown a certain goal opportunity in a bigger way than Karmichael Hunt did just then.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-08-2012, 02:42 AM

He got way too excited. You could see it. It was one of those 'OMG OMG I'MMA KICK A GOAL' moments.

They've salvaged their average now, at least.

Yeah, that run of goals at the end sort of invalidates my post. They did pretty well really. In fact, they scored MORE points in the second half than in the first - it's just they had too many lapses in the fourth quarter when it mattered, and gave away a fuckload of points in the third quarter.

I know it was a depleted Geelong squad, but seriously, that was a shithouse performance by the Cats.

Suns have Richmond next week in Cairns, a repeat of one of their few victorious fixtures last year. Play this well again and maybe they could finally record their first win of 2012.

Hawthorn just as dominant when Bloody Franklin is off the ground. Could the media please wake up and realise that Hawthorn is not the one-man team that they make them out to be?

Pavlich is a legend. It would be a real shame to see him retire without a Premiership.

Yay I got my tip?

That's maybe half a fuck, at least...

In more exciting news, the sky is blue.

Summary for the weekend:

Collingwood is shit
Did the Bombers play? I don't think they did. If they did, I forgot.
GWS = Auskick
Geelong = nothing without Lingy
Lingy = much better looking in a blue checked shirt than a pink one
Gold Coast = surprisingly good and respectable
My tips = fucked up forever
Two sparkling wine bottles for $5 = extremely wasted.

Not cool. I think grand finalists will come from Collingwood, Hawthorn and whichever interstate team gets a home qualifying final, if that happens.

Axver · 07-09-2012, 03:07 AM

Just so I can come back in a couple of months to see how wrong I was, I'd like to predict right now that the preliminary finalists will be Sydney, Hawthorn, West Coast, and either Collingwood or Essendon. Probably Collingwood, but I expect Essendon to finish the season strongly after the mid-season jitters (will probably be fucked by finishing outside the top four though). West Coast likely premiers. Adelaide to make top four but not the prelims.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-09-2012, 03:17 AM

Wellingham gets only 3 weeks? Bullshit.

cobl04 · 07-09-2012, 03:25 AM

He was going for the ball. He was extremely late, and it was high-impact, but it wasn't deliberate. And it was four weeks, three with a guilty plea and good record.

I can remember a game not so long ago in which Carlton was ripped to bloody shreds. While Travis was asleep.

I hated having to wake him with that news that day.

In fact, as I recall, whoever it was they lost to, the lost was so astoundingly ludicrous, he didn't believe me at first.

Port Adelaide match?
