2013 - The Year of Neeld

[Demonsterative 3,020]

Early last year WYL stated he was a Drug and Alcohol worker at some stage of his life too. A news room and the AOD field dont seem to have a common link, but like many, ppl change careers.

Sorry Stuie, off topic again

Dean Bailey's forward spread and running patterns were outstanding - when they were on! It was the almost total absence of defensive structures around the ground that stuffed us around. Even really good defensive footballers like Chip found it tough to be defensive with no structure for support.

2013 will be a pleasure/pain year for mine.

PLEASURE

I don't reckon we will get beaten once by 10 goals. We will slowly become that team who is hard to beat. Most of our losses will be within 20 points.

We will surprise lazy teams like Bombers, Tigers, St. Kilda and probably beat them

Our skill level will finally rise. Blease, Toumpas, Watts, Clark, - these players are skillful and will be delivering into our forward 50.

We get to see a spine of Frawley, McDonald, Jones, Dawes, Clark and a midfield including Trengove, McKenzie, Sylvia, Grimes, Viney, Toumpas etc...

Our body size means we match it at the contest with Pies, Eagles, Hawks, Swans.

PAIN

Through inexperience and some brain-fades we will lose to teams we should beat - Brisbane, North Melbourne etc...

Our skill level will hurt us when we think we are past the worst

Our interstate record is appalling and I can't see this changing too much yet. GWS and Suns aside.

10 wins maximum for me this year.

In all honesty Maldon boy I would take that if it came with a view of us heading in the right direction and 2014 with increased belief.

I suppose the last 6 years we have endured makes me somewhat like that but I really want to be able to hold my head high and be proud of follwing a team that is hated for being hard bastards

That's correct...You have never volunteered for anything have you

Next.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,249]

Yes, that's true and it's after 17,000+ posts.

Mind boggling isn't it.

I think it's rather clever of WYL.

I agree. To be so vacuous in that many posts must be a skill in itself.

[Sir Why You Little 37,134]

The adjective "Balanced' is being used as an affirmation of being a "Gemini" and also as a description of Andrew Bolt.

It would give me something to think about if I wasnt working.

Haha! Nobody ever stated tha Andrew Bolt held balanced views.

The program he was on is quite balanced but you can never please all the masses.

So, I joined this thread in page 5. I'm lazy and can't be bothered reading pages 1-4: did it ever have anything worthwhile in it, or should I just close the thread now?

Don't ask me, I'm apparently the topic nazi because I don't want to read about mudbaths, Elwood lesbians, and WYL's political leanings.... Would rather talk MFC.

Interesting. Your constant attacks on WYL demonstrate biases which you have previously claimed either not to have or are able to ignore.

[Biffen 12,947]

I thought you guys liked this thread? Why are you talking so much about me and so little about the topic, or mudbaths, or lesbians, or all the other BS you post here that's not footy related.

We need to keep you happy Stuie.

I know you're not interested in subjects that are not cut and dry .

Neeld should have a good year in 2013 ,What?

Unless he has a bad year-which would be .....bad.

God I need a drink-I'm off to Liquorland.

[stuie 7,374]

I'm off to Liquorland.

There's those lesbian stories coming up again...

No way-it's really cool .WYL and Ben hur have made it slightly more political than intended ,but Ben and Stuie are whipping us into shape-keeping us focused ,and not letting us get away with digressions .

There were a few jokes awhile ago that Stuie got miffed with but it's OK now .

Stuie keeps repeating the joke that others used in an attempt to get a laugh now but we've cancelled jokes for 2013 because of Neeld and the new look .

If we keep it serious here-the boys willdo the job on the ground .

That seems to be the prevailing wisdom .

Let it go Stuie-it's become obsessive.

Which joke???

"Interesting"isn't the word mate.

Not in this case.

[Biffen 12,947]

Maybe they were in the other threads that got flooded with your tears and locked for everyones safety .

Sheesh mate you're cycle around again already...

That is a gem Stuie. You have a sense of humour?

[stuie 7,374]

No.

YES!

[Sir Why You Little 37,134]

After i mentioned i work at The ABC and that i had been through a full department cleanout and upgrade very similar to what the MFC has done this thread went completely feral.

I should have lied and said no!

Edited January 4, 2013 by why you little

[Bitter but optimistic 22,249]

No.

YES!

Lord be praised. Hellelujah!Hellelujah! Hellelujah! Stuie has had his Paulian moment. I'm down on my knees Stuie (and I'm sure Biffen is too) . B efore you know it we will exchanging messages and private jokes!

[Biffen 12,947]

No.

YES!

You're a real card Stuie.

I see what you did there.

Ricky Gervais is sh!tting himself and may at this moment be looking for work as a serious AFL pundit.

You can floor them all on the comedy circuit.

What a day.

That's it, give in to your hate, strike me down....

[Biffen 12,947]

I've got nothing left to give.

and you're down enough.

That's a bit biblical Stuie. You're not really taking this seriously .....are you?
