The AFL Thread

That was a sensational loss!

Gotta love it.

won footy tips for the second week now. thats another $20 in my pocket 

yay for carlton

co sign!!!!!!

Had a chat to Bryce Gibbs through work. I'll never wash these boxer shorts again

Would any of your boxer shorts need washing given the amount of "airing out" they get?

good point but they'll dry stiff

The words 'stiff' and 'your boxer shorts' are way to close to eachother for my liking.

GO U FKN BLUES!! Our best win in years, and my god we're in the 8!!!

great game gotta feel sorry for collingwood blockbuster fatigue and all

ah yes BFS, "Blockbuster Fatigue Syndrome"


BFS indeed

Did you guys hear how they found Elisabeth Fritzl's diary last week?
Was an interesting read indeed.

Monday: Stayed in. Dad came down and fucked me.
Tuesday: Stayed in. Dad fucked me.
Wednesday: Stayed in. Dad fucked me and the kids.
Thursday: Stayed in. Dad fucked me.
Friday: Stayed in. Dad made me swallow his load. Then fucked me.
Saturday: Went and watched Port Power play. Should have stayed in.

fuck yeah

 I hate myself for laughing at that

I hate myself more for posting it. But fuck me it's funny.

lmfao

That was on holy shit levels of wrong/awesomness.

wow del santo dropped

your spelling's getting worse on a weekly basis lately.

i'm shattered. pretty much screwed now up against woz this week. he's named as an emergency though, so i'm hoping it's all an elaborate scam to shake things up a bit.

the rapist hasn't got a chance of coming back this year i reckon, if ever...


traded koschitzke for fev though.

Not looking that good this week. Doubt I'll be backing up last weeks 2000.

Negatives:
Cloke suspended for a week & Bradshaw not back in. Means I have to keep the incredibly shit Tippet in my starting line-up which blows.
Griffen out with a sore hip and complete lack of talent.

Positives:
Hill has been named for the Bulldogs so if he plays thats keeps my forward line full.
Griffen has struggled to get 20 most weeks anyway so a zero ain't much different.

lol what's wrong with "wow del santo dropped" besides the lack of capitals?

A comma after the word wow wouldn't have hurt either.

not really. Say it out loud. "Wow Del Santo out"  Works fine without one

i'll tell ya saturday.

maybe


he's been named in the 25 for the last 3 weeks though. hasn't played for a while...

When I say it out loud it just ends up sounding like the first part of a story that ends with "the police found him passed out in a strangers car?"

whick cloke? travis?

 

Yep

[video: www.youtube.com]


Just in case some of the Port fans missed it

St Kilda v Fremantle tonight. What a fkn shit game

richard pratt resign's i hear. ouch..

he's "stepped down for now" as president. As long as he's free, will still work heavily behind the scene's.


Fair replacement lined up though. Fahrour or something ie CEO of NAB

another blockbuster crowd for the Power i see

the power sure proved them right for stayin home though.

Big Up the dons can never go by the ladder or the performance of recent games when it comes to a essendon and blues game
same deal with the pies also

You bastard I was still watching that! 

  so was i till i went on afl.com not thinking lol doh

weird week for injury's

kerr stung by a sting ray and Polak for richmond in a coma from gettin by a tram

great win for us without Judd


and the Jonathon Brown to Carlton rumor keeps gaining momentum

I dare say its nothing more than a rumour. Could Carlton afford him though in terms of the salary cap? I doubt they would have room to have both him and Fevola - it would be one or the other. Brown would be close to a million a year and you would think they're already paying similar for Judd. And word is Fevola thinks he is worth not much less.

One thing I really have to have a cry about is the fucking free to air football coverage. What the fuck was going on this weekend. No Saturday arvo game then no Sunday arvo game. Both matches yesterday were won pretty much on the final siren and instead we have the fucking 1998 grand final replay. Split round or not we should be able to watch more than 2 games of footy a weekend, especially when one of thos games was the pitiful Hawks v WC match and the other was Port getting thumped. I refuse to believe that fucking Cocoon 2 is gonna rate higher than an AFL match.

Swan came out a month ago and said we have room for one more big name player. Was also reported around that same time, Pratt held a lunch with Stevens, Judd and Fev and talked about who they were going for


As much as I'd LOVE Brown- I'd rather hear that we've locked in Murph and Gibbs

Absolutely. Those guys are the future of the club and you just know there will be interest from all over the place when their contracts are up next. The last thing you need is to lose them because 3 or 4 players are collecting half the salary cap and there is nothing left to pay what they will be worth. Especially when there will be a couple of new teams in the comp with good money to spend on players just like them.

Pretty sure Murph is out of contract end of this year. Fk he's a gun. Gibbs will be out at the end of next year. As long as the $'s are right, can't see em leaving Carlton when the future is bright

You would assume though that the Crows would have a fair crack at Gibbs though. That would have to appeal to him a little you would think.

I reckon maybe later in his career they might. He's already said, and so has his dad, he wants to be a one club player. Also helps we drafted his best mate the same year(Austin) and the Kernahan connection plays a big part too

fk he's gonna be a special player. Having an amazing year for 19 year old

Still really hoping Gibbs has a severe case of home sickness.

as i said maybe later down the track. Can't see it happening in the near future. By all accounts loves the club and how he's been treated

will be a premiership player;)

Didn't you just say he wants to be a one club player though?

Looks like the poor lad will have to choose which is more important to him.

*yawn*


more chance of us winning one in the next 5 years than your rable

you'll be lucky to get five years out of judd/stevens/fevola/spalding

they could just ignore the salary cap right? that worked out well for them last time didn't it?



 

Well when Dick Pratt has Judd on the books for half a mil a year with one of his companies for the role of "ambassador", you don't really have to worry about the salary cap anyway.

youngest list in the AFL still.Not a player over 27

I think we'll be fine

how old is nick stevens?

Exactly. Have you seen him? He has to be over 27 stone.

just checked. he is 27.

yup- not a player OVER 27 and Stevo BOG on the weekend



we've sure got the Power to win:)

got my tickets for the round 17 hawthorn geelong game today, cant fkn wait, should be about 80k there i reckon...


hopefully we play better than we did last friday night tho!!!

Yep, nice to see all those "diehard" supporters who come out of the woodwork when they're winning.

yeah subbo u fkn bandwaggoner

 

I had the news on last night, and I wasn't really watching as I was cooking but they said the crows coach was going to be on, which is unusual for victorian TV.

I thought they fucked up and played the wrong video, as there was a jockey talking!

Seriously, that dude is in the wrong sport. 

mate your an idiot who obviously knows nothing about me so shut ya fucking mouth....

bahahahahaha

 

again....

ahhh fuck it ... who cares

ive sat thru 14 years of pain at football park against the crows, 100 plus point floggings against port the last few years, thrown my money at the club every year while we;re down the bottom. if this donkey wants to call me a bandwagoner then so be it, im gonna enjoy our time at the top!!

you're alright subbo. you're alright.

plus, this donkey is a fkn crows supporter mate!

Post wasn't even aimed at you mate... You think there would have been 80,000 people at a Geelong - Hawks game 3 years ago?

fair point

possibly shouldn't have quoted the biggest hawks supporter on the board with it then.

haha yer prolly not

Good advice. 

bigups geelong for an entertaing game of football most possesions ever by 2 sides combined

wonder how many of the crows were clangers though jeez they played like shit, Their all mighty half season slide has begun as predicted

Gibbs has signed on until 2010:)

sell out

this makes absolutely no sense PLUS it wasn't even funny


the internet just took a loss

He's sold out south australia... we've got no chance of winning anything any time soon I wouldn't look into it too much, I'm just jealous.

I don't look into anything you say too greatly

The Barry Hall situation is an interesting one. Has been deemed unfit to play by the team shrink. There's rumours swirling round it could be the end of his career

He should just go with it and turn to boxing or MMA or something. Some people just like punching the crap out of others.

lol I'd love to see him get destroyed in MMA

Same. Although if he got decent training he could be pretty decent. He's quite quick and agile for his size.

tru, and he was a boxer for most his teenage life. Still, I reckon Jonothan Brown would give him a run

On the other hand Sydney loves playing games and foxing with both the media and opposition. Wouldn't surprise me if Barry was back playing in a week or two.

see the back page of the tiser? Looks like he's losing it!

Unless Jonothan Brown has had some form of training I think Barry would make a real big mess of him/anybody else in the AFL. He should go to England and become a professional soccer hooligan, he already looks the part.

browns technically the strongest person the AFL has seen. Broke Tony Lockets long standing bench press record a while ago

That would at least keep Barry honest

(oh and i actually reckon Riccuito's 2nd dan black belt alone would tear poor barry apart)

i was just about to type something along those lines. add the fact that roo's about 100x tougher in general than hall too and i think Barry would re-think how tough he really is.

Who knows what's going on. I still reckon there is more to all this than just Hall's mental state.

It wouldn't hurt Sydney having to let Hall go at the end of the season. Especially considering the fact there are 2 big name forwards out of contract who could slot right in to Barry's spot. I dare say a certain Carlton players agent would definitely be watching this all with a fair bit of interest.

interesting- i was under the impression fraser gherig used to hold the record.. there ya go.

maybe he was the highest after lockett and before brown?

Had to laugh at how excited mum is at the moment as she gets to see her beloved Roo & Modra play on the weekend.

there will be a a 6 page booklet in tomorrows advertiser about it. 

There is a fucking bus going from the Barossa and staying the night down there.

More interest in this than in the pope coming to Oz.

Fair enough too. How many Brownlows has the Pope won?

huge game for us tonight-Havent beaten the Saints since 2001. Judd's a very handy in but i was really hoping Andrew Walker would be in for his first game of the year. number 2 pick (after Cooney) who's been injured all year but he's been BOG the last 2 weeks in the 2's. Really looking forward to seeing how he performs in a much improved side

Fuckin hell, not another one...

yup:)

People have forgotten about him, but he's a very good player. And will be even better in an improved side.

Aint it grand?!

Pfft.... it wasn't even a real Brownlow. It was shared with a darkie and a dude with a mullet.

Has about as much credibility as a SA Dance Music award.

  gold

Sparkling Dennis Commetti last night

"Geelong, effective in traffic-they're like Suge Knight...."


 

  so awesome

holy shit what a win!! 10 goal turn around to smash the dogs!!

Go Blues!!!

can't believe i had to endure the port game instead of that one. bullshit!

Best win of the year for us without doubt. Judd dominant

love this story from Aker(and then confirmed by Brian lake)

A young water boy came out just after 3 quarter time to hand Lake a drink. Down by 5 goals still, Fev says to the kid "Stick around here champ you're about to see a show"


lol awesome

that's awesome!

so glad i have him in my team. he was on 35 i think going into 3 quarter time. ended up with 114. not a bad quarter!

fev will come to port next year.

nah-he wont

(why would anyone want to?)

Exactly.

If he came to either of the teams in SA it would most probably be Adelaide, simply because they will offer him a lot more cash than Port will be able too.

strong rumor that he signed last night and it will be announced tonight on the footy show

for the record he has signed-just got a text from the club

great news for us imo-now we can finally put it behind us and move forwad:)

you guys will be top 4 next year i reckon.

my prediction was top 8 next year, top 4 the year after that

but yer, tbh, we're a little further ahead than i thought we'd be at this point

Hopefully Rutten smashes him this Saturday 

Should be a good game actually. You goin Steve?

fuck, we were supposed to go steve!



worst memory ever

lol yer we were-prolly stay home and watch it on fox

can't stand going to crows games

Probs be havin a bbq, few drinks and doin the same at mine if ya get bored.

well the weather's not exactly drawing me to the game, that's for sure.

come round mine if you want mate. will be on live free to air as well i daresay. being saturday and all...

isn't it delayed if its not a sell out though?

House I'll be at has Foxtel


Edit: Just been announced as a sellout anyway. Fkn lol at Port not being able to sell out a show down last week and now this.

thats cos the adelaide fans wanna see Juddy

i reckon fev is the bigger drawcard.

"Judd, handballs off to gibbs, gibbs, oh wow lace out pass to Fev. He marks strongly as quaz whips it out....."

i can actually picture you watching the game tomorrow with a tub of lube and an old sock.

first time I've gone into a game against adelaide in years, with some hope

why? you guys always do pretty well against us.

lol when was this?

i seem to recall fev kicking 7 against us not that long ago in a come from behind win.

i'm just going from my memory though, so it could have been while earl spalding was still playing tbh.

I remember being at that game. Seem to recall most of the bloody goals he kicked were from like 60 out aswell. C**t!

rd 6 2008 - carlton won
rd 9 2007 - carlton won

there you go steve.

we didnt beat you this year! Was in melb and u won by 5 goals. Big article in the paper the other day-Nick Stevens saying we are a dif team now

dont know where u got that from

right o

who won the game?

GO THE BLUES

that was 3 years ago at least-where he kicked the game winner from left to right on the boundary, from about 60

forgive me. i read it backwards.

yeah, you're right. hope you get flogged now.

hahahah

man i'm pumped for tomorrow!

seriously cannot fkn believe Brown got 3-4 weeks for the Plorplyzia incident-thats a fkn joke

Did he?  Harsh!

wow.

worst decision since Greg Williams got 16 weeks

He deserves it, what he did was disgusting! 


Seriously though, what a crock of shit.

you've got Goodes taking peoples heads off weekly, then they cream a kid playing his what, 5th game?

Its fucked

Douglas can consider himself a little unlucky at being dropped after his performance against Essendon and Shirley being out of the game for a while.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow - found a pub in Athens that should be showing it.

it wasn't even eye gouging he was charged for.

Anyway moving on

If any overseas crew are looking to watch the Crows online there's a few links here: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=48615&part=sports.

The first one has loaded nicely and is looking ok so far, we'll see how it goes once the telecast starts. It's in 2 hours time so it must be a delayed telecast by 1 hour.

he might not have been charged for it but he still did it!



History shows Judd - then the West Coast captain - was cleared of eye gouging Hawthorn's Campbell Brown during their Launceston clash in May 2007.

Judd faced a one-match suspension after he was reported by the AFL match review panel for making contact with Brown's face.

But while the Hawks defender told the tribunal he felt a hand on his face, at no time did he believe Judd's fingers entered his eye.

Sensationally though, two months later, Brown told a TV show that he lied to the tribunal to get Judd off the hook.

Asked on the Fox Sports program On The Couch whether he had "fibbed" to assist Judd, Brown admitted: "Yeah, I did."

Got it live from p2p mate http://www.ustream.tv/channel-popup/rto-live-tv

Thought a pub in Athens was playing it, but now I'm watching it in the hostel lobby.

Oh my god! 

That was awesome!

haha you beauty! Was sick of hearing about the crows winning this years premiership 

Awesome game
Crows still have a lot of young players if they can keep em they'll have there chance again next season.
I've think they've done pretty well with a yound squad

no. He didn't. But really, arguing footy with someone who thinks Dom cassisi is better than Nick riewoldt is somewhat pointless

great game tonight. One of the best finals in years. Even more so with the premiership favourites goin down

Shattered the Crows lost, but it was a great game for the changing fortunes. The misses in the second quarter by the Crows were costly and kicking 1 goal in 50 odd minutes was pretty poor after such a good start, but credit to the Pies for fighting their way back into the game. Hope Geelong smashes them in the prelim though.

Not great to continue these finals losses to the Pies, but still, a great season by the Crows and things do look good for the future with the young players looking more settled than the senior players right from the start.

Wasn't it just.

After such a miserable year as a Port fan that just about made up for all of this seasons misery in the space of two quarters.

Was a truly beautiful thing to watch.

 

Are there any Adelaide sporting teams which don't choke??

Seriously, the place should be renamed to Chokelaide.

How can you say they choked seriously.
At the start of this season I thought maybe they'd get in the 8 just.
Turns out they played well throughout the season.
The hit their straps at the right time, really the only reason they were tipped to beat Collingwood.

But at the end of the day there were only the 5th best in the comp and last nights game showed that.

They never killed every side in the comp all season to finish top and then lost or didn't make the grand final.

Did they come out firing and then fail to win?

yes!

Therefore:

CHOKED!

I'm not having a go at purely your little team; Port Power, Adelaide United, and the Thunderbirds all do it as well.

It's ok, no need to cry (more)... here's a hug

They definitely choked, who cares that they exceeded their ultimate goals, they choked on the proximate ones.

Id say the whole, being up by 30 points and losing in a final, thing


trust me, i know the feeling

hahaha or someone who doesnt think judd is an eye gouger!

Because they obviously choked. 5 goals up at quarter time + 1 goal 2 for the next 2 quarters and losing = choked.

thats text book choking right there

 

Sad but true.

so doesnt anyone think the free wasnt there? I was half expecting crows fans to blame the ump. But neil craig copped it on the chin well saying it doesnt matter if it was there or not what about the 20 other stupid mistakes the crows made.

Haha at least he didnt do a alister clackson.

Neil Craig is always been like that though, he knows where it's at. The number of times the Crows get raped by the umpires and he doesn't say a word - but they get fined if they do anyway.

I'm not the best at separating my passion from my reasonableness during a game, but as soon as I saw the replay I knew the free kick was there and I wouldn't think any of the most passionate Crows supporters would think any different. If they do, then they've completely lost it. Stupid time to be giving away a free like that and you would expect better from Rutten.

Like Craig said though, there was plenty of other mistakes to focus on other than that one. I mean just look at McLeod and Porplyzia, I don't reckon I've seen them make that many errors ever.

no doubt the free kick was there. That's what pressure does to players. Well done to the umpire who not only spotted it, but had the balls to pay it

I'd say credit to Collingwood for slowing the game down getting there ship back on track then putting the pressure back on the crows, and with so many young players that finals pressure was to much.


Anyway on the Saints wagon now!!

didn't deserve it.

played like we started the year.

bring on the cricket.

The first quarter, IMO, showed that the Crows have the potential to be a far better side than Collingwood. The use of the hands especially was on another level to Collingwoods. They just need to figure out how to consistantly string it together for 4 quarters. Neil Craig also needs to become far more reactive. As far as getting a team drilled and prepared for a game, arguably he's one of the best, but his match day 'on the fly tactics' still aren't quite up to par. It was like the start of the season again, once a team had figured us out, there was no plan B.

As for the free kick, it was pretty soft, but it was definitely there. Rutten is the one to blame, there was no real advantage to be gained for him by doing it. I doubt Anthony would have got close to taking a mark had Rutten not interfered anyway.

The Crows need to dump Hentschell & Burten as well.

Neither have the boddies or fitness to play AFL these days and having them on the field Saturday night meant they were two players down from the start.

And I think they should get rid of Neil Craig too... who hires a jockey to coach a football team anyway?

Are you fucking serious??? if you don't have glasses i suggest you get some

Rutten had both his arms wrapped around anthony's forearm it's been a free kick all year,all last century and will continue to be for the rest of time i sugets you let the crows know this

Get your shit together Josh, you are starting to spell like a Port supporter. You are a man of Prussian stock right? How do you get Hentschel wrong?

So you missed the part where he said it was definitely a free kick? In fact have you missed the part where all Crows supporters on this thread have deemed it free kick worthy? Confirmation bias much?

Go fuck yourself!!!

Definitely talking like a Port supporter now. 

No i didn't i just highlighted the stupid part of his post

A "soft" free kick it definetly was not it was probably the most blatant of the game

Burgoyne's officially requested a trade to a Victorian team


Judd, Murphy, Gibbs, Burgoyne......



yes thanks

A great midfield won't help you until you get a defence though.

Never going to win a flag conceding 20 goals every game.

Please watch more football before you post


Take out the starting CHB(Jarrod Waite-handy player, no?) and FB to any team. How you think they're gonna go? Even then, we ranked in the top 10 defensively this year.


next

You can have Burgoyne. He's used to a losing culture in recent times so he'll fit right in at Carlton.

As long as we keep Cassisi I'm happy. He's better than Nick Reiwoldt you know.

hahaha ahhhh

lol

He had one arm around his, and directly before that they were jostling with each other for position. I said the free kick was there, but it was most certainly soft.

2 arms around his. Pretty much an arm bar

 Torn with the Burgoyne thing.

Part of me hopes he ends up at Melbourne but we can't really afford to not get anything for him.

 Of course Burgoyne knows that too so he knows he should get a trade, which brings me back to hoping he ends up at Melbourne.

 

 Some of the trades people are suggesting on the Port forum are just ridiculous. We won't get much for him at all unfortunately.

 There are obviously some huge problems at Port though. Fun times ahead.
 

he's picked Hawthorn apparently. Interesting

All Australian team last night was fair enough besides say, leon Davis. Good year yes, but beat Mark Lecras who kicked over 60 goals? No. Murphy was stiff, but he's young and his time will come

congrats to Eye Gougin' Juddy and Fev though

Had to do a double take when i saw Riewoldt named as All Australian Captain over Cassisi. Clearly a typo

Playing golf with Dom next week. By all reports he's a better golfer than Riewoldt.

i can't believe that goodwin got a guernsey.

I second that

Reckon Hentschel has shown he can be a solid contributor to the Crows. His ability to not just kick important goals in traffic (and from set shots), but his ability to chase down defenders and provide that forward pressure, is great - even more so, considering what he has been through. If you're talking about his form in the last finals game, he was off his best, but so was most of the forwards as the Crows had a whole two quarters of struggling to get it into the forward line. Like I said earlier, I haven't seen the Porps have so little impact on the game as he did in that game.

As for Burton, it's a tricky one. He was way off the boil in the final, but it was his 6th (?) game back after another recon. I remember when he came back from his last recon, he was so slow for the latter end of a season and it wasn't until he had a full pre-season under his belt that he got better. Whether it's worth investing another pre-season in him for one more year (can't see him playing on after next year) is up in the air - especially considering the GC concessions already in this years draft and Walker waiting in the wings. He certainly still has that x-factor (see the mark from a few weeks back), but whether he can continue to provide that on a regular basis and do more than the occasional speccy or snap is key. Likely that he is the one to go out of Goodwin, Edwards, McLeod and him.


On the All-Australian; Goodwin has had a great season, but maybe not up there with his other seasons where he's earned a cap. Edwards has probably had a better season for the Crows. Also, I think Vince could consider himself unlucky to not get a look in as he has played as an important role as say Selwood has for Geelong as for the Crows this year. Not saying Selwood isn't a deserving cap though, was awesome this year as he was last year (still has better stats than Judd at the same stage in his career, and much to Quazza's dismay maybe, he will be a better player than Judd). Find it strange that Bock wasn't even in the squad though too as he has as good a year as last, if not better - the only drawback being that he was injured for the last few games of the season. All this commentary from me though comes with a large asterix as I watched a very limited amount of football this year.


In other news, I met Cambell Brown in a bar tonight in Ios.

Porplyzia should be there ahead of Davis imo as well. Not sure how Goodwin managed to get a guernsey to be honest. Bernie Vince has been way better than him this year IMO. Hell, Edwards has been as well. Goodwin had an ok year, but definitely nothing special.

Goddard probably aslo a little stiff being named on the interchange. He'd certainly be starting in my side.

inbetween injury and beating up women, he probably hadn't played enough games

Yeah, missed way too many. Have no doubt in my mind though that when fully fit, there isn't really anyone in his postition better than him. Call me biased, but meh. Crows best by a mile.

Is there going to be an International Rules series this year? Or are we to "rough" for the frail Irish?

[video: www.youtube.com]

Ignore the shitty Darude track

Plus, FUCKING LOL @ Johnson towards the end. Remember that vividly, what a nutter.

That is great!

Okay explain this to me, how does Brown kick 12 more goals than riewoldt, nearly wins the coleman, but yet has to be put in foward pocket in a position he doesnt even play so they can put golden boy in?.  Are they pretty much saying in that it wouldnt have mattered even if he did win the coleman riewoldt he has had a better year at CHF????  last time i checked a CHF was supposed to kick and create goals, Brown led him in both categories.

Clearly the All Australian panel are blowing him too.


How the fuck are people like Porplyzia (who i believe should have been AA) ever gonna get in the AA when they put people in there that dont even play that position because they are too worried what the media will say if a star misses out. tough shit i reckon.

Of course Goodwin got in with Ricciuto on the selection panel.

But that was a mistake too. The Porps should have made it over Davis for sure, but I'm getting used to everything being so Victorian and Collingwood biased.

*but again, I suppose I didn't watch enough footy to make that call.

and Le Cras should have been over both of em. Kicked over 60 goals for the eagles

well there you go, he should have been one of the pockets then.

How so? He only kicked 1 goal more for the season and was beaten in every other category by Porplyzia, tackles especially.

the crows supply into the forward line > the eagles supply into the forward line.

Im not discounting Porp, he had a great year. I just think with the best defender on him every week, La Cras did it much tougher

Yeah fair enough, I guess the Eagles don't exactly have anyone else to kick too.

every club can have 1 (or maybe 2) "nominated rookies" that can play

And in the (likely at the Crows) event you have someone on the long term injury list, you can elevate them also.

wishing you all the best there. i reckon you'll win one in possibly 30 years.

In senior game played, we were the 2nd youngest team in the comp last year. Even younger than melb. Youngest team in the finals, comfortably
 
maybe watch more interstate footy

PS - Fuck I love that it's not even Jan yet and we're already arguing Crows/Carlton Football

 

your not very patronising are ya. what does watching interstate footy have to do with anything? maybe you need to have played the game a bit more yourself?

i'd say i watch more footy than you would i reckon. pretty much every game on tv, and have done since i was about 10. this year i won't be able too though. stupid lack of foxtel.

i was mucking around about 30 years, but you won't win one in 5 either imo.

you.xx

haha. same.

though the crows are close to rubbish though, so i'm not gonna bother arguing about them.

i'm a supporter, but i'm not stupid. about footy at least.

Patronising was the angle lol. And i watch every game, every week (tape them if I'm out-IQ is beautiful)

Have played a ton of football too. Played juniors for Woodville West Torrens til i got badly injured. Though my last game was the DJ and MCs charity match and I was on acid so that doesnt count lol

you're a cunt.

haha, yer. I am

Plenty of hype about the dude we rookied, Ed Curnow. Not often supporters from other teams come to our board and say we have a gem lol

Was a Crows rookie for a year, then went and played for box hill where he won their BnF despite playing only 13 games (broke his leg)
Big unit for a young mid though

hope he wins a brownlow just to shatter the crows

 

If he plays a game and doesn't rob any of his teammates, it'll be a win for Carlton compared to their previous ex-Crow recruits.

"Tambling not in best 22" - Neil Craig

 

and huge rumours that Tom Scully has already signed with GWS. Man that would be a fkn massive blow to melb

He's only been back training after hip surgery for what, 2-3 weeks now? Not surpirsed really.

Spin it how you like it. Lachie Henderson has had surgery and isn't training yet. Is he in our best 22? Yup no doubt

afl is back just quietly.......

so fkn good

nearly cried when I was flicking through fox tonight and saw AFL 360 was on

Spin? Seriously? Meh, just another comment taken out of context. If you'd actually heard the whole thing, Craig said if he were to pick the best 22 right now (on form), Tambling would not be in it. As I said, back 2-3 weeks from hip surgery, so it's no surprise he isn't.

Henderson has also actually played a game for you guys before and being in Carltons best 22 as a tall forward isn't exactly anything to brag about, when the rest of them are 4 foot nothing. It's not like you're blessed with a whole lot of options for KPP's, is it?

 And so it begins....

ahhhh, I've missed this:)

Henderson is clearly one of the elite KPP prospects in the game, Carlton or not. Was the number 8 pick, and the first KPP taken in the Kruezer draft

and we got him and a first round pick, for Fev

*swish*

Something just doesn't feel right when we're not arguing about football.

As for Henderson, wouldn't make our best 22.

lmao

He'd make a quality CHF in the SANFL.

we'll see

Fucking channel 7 not showing tonights games until after Better Homes & Gardens.... AND A FUCKING MOVE! 10:30? The fuck is this shit?

your fucking kidding. Fuck channel 7.


hope its on fox

probably delayed in adelaide as its the cows vs port isnt it?

tv guide says it only goes from 1040-1140 too.

It's usually delayed when being played in Adelaide, but not by that much. And 1 hour? The fuck?

As per usual, One HD has it live from 6:30pm-10:00pm tomorrow.

I thought the whole point of 7Mate was to show bloke shit and give Channel 7 the chance to show live friday night football without pissing off the viewer base of Better Homes & Gardens (ie - the only people in the country old enough to bother complaining). Instead of the football, we get repeats of That 70's Show, I Shouldn't Be Alive and Rocky II. Fucking brilliant!

Oh it's Adelaide?

rather better homes and gardens then

You would fag.

watching it now


Go De...................


ah i dont want either of em to win



ps lulz at giving Petrenko Mclouds number

I didn't think it was possible, but apparently Lance Whitnall has managed to find a way to eat even more pies during his retirement.

Ha he's fkn huge. How was juddys interview? Lol


Some of our recruits played pretty well

I know it's on the nab cup but collingwood look scary

Yep...

We actually did better against them than I thought we would.

The Blues were looking a bit ordinary at the start, but came back well toward the end. Also, who is the guy with the prawn tattoo? Fkn pissed myself when he said it's an inside joke with mates back home. It takes up half his fkn forearm!


Here's hoping for a massive run of injuries for Collingwood

ha yer Rohan Kerr. Was pick 50 or so, couple of drafts ago. Not short on confidence lol

 2 x Power memberships bought

 Hope it's a good year!

 :prays that Robbie Gray and 2H stay fit:

Reckon im going to get one too mate.. Did you go Silver?

Gold Crows Membership here. Now that I don't get myself all sorts of fucked up every weekend, I'll actually use it this year too.

 yup!

Nice job boys. Memberships are vital

That said it could be a long year for port this year I think

 Won't be any worse than last year/s/s/s/s/s

 

as a Carlton and Warriors fan, trust me - it can always be worse

Yeh but that being said all signs from here seem to be positive. I know it may take a few years but you don't just support your team when you are kicking with the wind do ya! I am very happy with Ports list and the direction the club is taking.

lol I clearly endorse the statement

I'm expecting an inconsistent year with finals on the cards if we're very lucky (more likely 9-11th). Also expecting that I'll be pretty smashed at every game, so it wont really matter.

fev has been sacked. he is gonna get paid 1.5M to not play football for the next 2 years instead of hanging around and tarnishing the reputation of the lions. well played fev, well played indeed... 1.5M to do sweet FA!

Best

Trade

Ever

 That statement would ring true even if you traded him for a couple of old sherrins, a medicine ball and Brad Hardy

would be funny if he got his sht together, and came back to carlton

Trade Out - Fev

Trade in - Lachie Henderson, 1st Round Pick, Fev

 

 Oh and also, Ricky Nixon

 What an imbecile

Yes! This whole St. Kilda thing has been hilarious. They're all following their dicks and then trying to weasel out of it. Unfortunately for them, this girl has been smart enough to record evidence of everything.

How is lusting after moderately famous cock and then destroying lives a sign of intelligence? It isn't hard. It's just twisted. Neither side of this debacle comes off well. They're all fuck ups and the 17 year old is a sadistic whore who loves attention. Am I missing something here? I admit to only following parts of the story.

her vagina must be lined with with the golden silk spun by the once thought extinct, filthbag spider

 

 Nixon apparently has fled the country. NEVER flee the country. It eliminates deniability.

probably kicking back, shooting the breeze over a few bin tangs with Roman Polanski

lol agreed

 You saw our trainwreck of a season. At least Ebert has shown he can play AFL, although he is far from a star. Plus he is an Ebert he belongs at Port.

 Renouf well, we need a ruckmen desperately. Again, not a star but at least he is sort of up to AFL  standard and not a complete spud.

 Our last few years have been a disgrace at least its moderately positive news.

good to see we picked one of the Jonas Brothers

Gee, you'd wanna hope he bulks up a bit, he looks like a stick figure.

yer he's a bottom aged recruit, and we got him for free pretty much (father son rule)

has a ton of talent

and hair

Perhaps he can donate some if it to Juddy.

I think you'll find the Great Man to be the ying to Samson's yang

A little known fact about our first pick Sam Kerridge is that he's actually Dolph Lundgren.

he will fit right in with the rest of the hair gels.

To his credit, he is yet to be spotted wearing pink shorts, unlike a certain Port first round pick on draft day. 

 well, Judd's done his shoulder

in somewhat related news,  I'm on suicide watch, beds stripped.....
