I just watched an incredible game from Subiaco in which Collingw&%$ gave away any possibility of making the double chance by losing to Fremantle which probably gave Nick Naitanui to Port Adelaide (almost as bad a faux pas as our win over Carlton last year?).

Carlton and Richmond have every reason to complain about being robbed of their chances to make the finals by virtue of the AFL handing out such an easy fixture for Collingw&%$ who might now have to travel interstate for the second week in a row to play their first final.

Hope they do. Will lose. Trash. FILTH! ;)

I'm glad they both missed out. Neither side has made the 8 since 2001. I'd like to see them both pass our 23 years in the finals wilderness suffered from 1964 to 1987. :)

On that performance, the AFL must reconsider its policy of giving the Pies a Friday night game virtually every second or third week during the season.

Gold Coast Magpies.

How's the whinging that comes from this football club. Far out, worse than the Poms. They kick everyone else when they're down, had one bad incident and then had a whinge, now this comes from their insipid performance;

“Quite frankly I think, given our vulnerability of where we’re going to sit on the ladder, we were extremely tired after a very, very solid, emotional, gut-busting month.

“I’ve no doubt that there is a psychological let-down after (big) games, particularly if you’ve got a lot of young players.

“No question about that because they’re human, they’re going to have the frailty of human nature.”

Straight from the coach. Too funny. The filth are a joke, if it wasn't for Eddie and their deluded fan base, they'd be nowhere. If i were the Pies i'd seriously look at what Malthouse is doing with them

Geez..its not like the FILTH might have been foxing ..( As Roosie's Swannies are expected to ) in order to not meet Geelong any more than they have to ?? :rolleyes:

He's taken an extremely average list which, on personnel, is probably in the bottom half dozen in the league, to a Prelim final last year and then to finals again this year. imo got he's been the best coach as far as getting the most out of his list goes

Not when they have "mentally fatiguing months" Eastie.

They've got the best facilities, and through their drafting have largely dug their own hole. Pendlebury is a gun, Thomas is a good player, Heath Shaw is a gun, but aside from that i don't think there is much in their team. After 2 years out of finals and then an elimination final in '06, i was hardly surprised that a team with such a good draw was able to make the finals.

They were lucky to beat W.C. in the Semi last year. How long do you give a coach who hasn't won you a Premiership? This has N.D. written all over it

I think Collingw&%$ will bring back Didak and Shaw for the first final as additional punishment.

Fast Eddie could argue this is in keeping with recent announcements regarding honesty.

Malthouse can continue to whinge about big game blues.

Everyone with any involvement in footballs wider community is happy. Unless you be toothless.

Wasn't that what I was saying? Their playing list hasn't got much going for it yet they were a kick away from beating a team deemed to be on the verge of untouchable and playing in last years granny

But i would say Malthouse has generated their list, and isn't doing much with the player's he's getting

And the thing with Mick Malthouse is that he's not even a nice guy. At least Neale Daniher had that going for him.

Well Port are upholding their end of the bargain, giving the gold Coast Kangaroos a right royal flogging, just kicked 8 consecutive goals in that last quarter!

Posted

Kangaroos = Melbourne 2004

Collingwood = Melbourne 2005

Bulldogs = Melbourne 2006

And for good measure,

Carlton 2008 = Carlton 2004

I'll be offering a full analysis of why I think that last point (other than I HATE Carlton) once I have the round 22 stats, and can make some pretty charts of youth and injuries over the season etc...

I hope the Saints get up today by 15 goals and go ahead of Adelaide on percentage. That would give the filth an away game v Adelaide to start the finals series with.

Thats rather ironic.

Playing the Devils' Advocate. Now can you also "hope" : -

1/ That Collingwood never win another premiership.

2/ That the Dees win a Premiership by 2012. Please.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
