On The Couch lacks integrity, relevance

I think Monoccular reckons it was all AFL orchestrated, which is fanciful.

I think Apocalypse XXXI summed it up quite well earlier in this thread.

 

Its so funny that at the time McLean wanted to leave he stated the same views.

Mike Sheahan, an active reporter at the time, didn't bother to pursue it then, Why Now?

The fact that Brock was also offered $150,000 more, by Carlton was also convieniently ommitted from the questions.

Mike Sheahan, supporters like you we can do without!

Paul Roos, people in glass houses should throw stones!

G. Healy, you shouldn't have left training on your last night at Melbourne with your shorts at half mast, I was there, saw it, and based my opinion of you that night, nothing has changed with you!

Double SS what did Baldilocs sorry Healy do as he left his last training session at MFC? Have always disliked him, he had left the Dees before I knew who he was as I was too young but can't stand him.

Bump.

The luminaries tonight said we wouldn't win a flag before 2030. Also said if we don't recruit well this off season, we might as well 'shut the doors'.

I would like the AFL to investigate what is driving the constant anti-MFC comment that these bozos pump out week in, week out.

It's actually just boring.

In 2030 Jack Viney will be 36 years of age.

That tells me that if they said we wouldn't win a flag before 2030 then it's a reflection of the ignorance of these so-called "experts".

Why does Gerard contnue with such unabashed vitriol towards the club where his bro is gainfully employed?

S-T-range :ph34r:


Gerard's obsession with nik-nat is painful. Listening to him commentate eagles games is worse than Roos commentating the swans with Joey and goodsey and mummy...

Clearly natanui is a gun but talking up a 14 possession average is pathetic

Actually I thought the knowledgable ones idea of playing Dawes in the 2's this week to freshen up was a good one considering the VFL season is over for Collingwood and they don't play again until 2013.

Then again a week is a long time in football.

Takes that long for thier neurones to synapse

Its bad coz they are stating the obvious?

I like the fact on the couch has lost the plot. With so many footy shows out there I had to cut one of them from my Foxtel IQ.


Tanking to win finals is accepted.

For example

Fremantle in Round 21 (2010) sent a second grade team to Tassie to play the Hawks (they lost by 116 points) to allow some players to freshen up for rd 22 and finals. Most blatant example of tanking...

First elimination final vs Hawks they win by 30 points. Big reward.

I am not saying it isn't. I am saying it shouldn't be. Doesn't matter what the 'reward' for losing is if you deliberately lose. The AFL need to get consistent on this (and about 400 other topics while they're at it)

Hell will freeze over before you see this. The deeper you look the more comprimised and contrived the game and its running are.

Do not think you need to look too hard either.

The luminaries tonight said we wouldn't win a flag before 2030.

To be fair, the tone of the discussion was light-hearted and Mike bundled us with Port and the Bulldogs when he said: "I'm confident they won't win flags before 2030".

Chill, son. He's not a prophet.

Maybe the team on OTC get their jollies by saying these things about the MFC and then coming onto D'land to watch the ensuing sh!tstorm.

Maybe they are contributors to the site???

my sources say america de celi is Gerard Healy and Mike Shehan is Tontatopia, i believe my source and I'm 98% sure my source is correct,

Well that doesn't make sense. Either you believe him, or you're 98% sure. You can't be both.

I don't want them to STFU until our players and the Club in general give them a reason to.

Until then, it's play on for me.

Nice one!

And as an aside - we've got to get our own standalone 2nds team so we can't play our fringe players either.

Dean Laidley had a shot at Roosey on the weekend over a comment he made about the Saints. He said I have a lot of respect for Roosey but he didn't do a lot of research when he criticised the Saints not taking in to account the change in personnel and the injuries they have had.

I think this is the case in most instances they don't do a drop of research and just shoot their mouths off.

Why ruin an opinion with facts to back it up, or at least base it on?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
