Around the League Round Five

[DemonWheels 1,014]

Port came with a bit of heat and fight at the very start of the game which I think actually sparked Geelong even more at quarter time - it's backfired big time as the Cats have stepped up and closed them down while creating run and overlap themselves.

Take note MFC - hit em hard and they crumble.

What the hell happened to Port? Losing Richo and Walsh? Gaining Voss? Has Hinkley been found out?

Oh Ok so maybe Deestroy all, you should refrain from posting coz many on this site might get tired of you constantly taking me to task!??

Ad Nauseam! Eh?

If you didn't blast people for discussing Toumpas, like the annoying hypocrite that you are, I wouldn't have responded to you at all. 

But I agree it must be tiresome for some and I can't help myself sometimes.

Nothin wrong with a bit of spirited discussion! You do make your piont!

I don't personally consider calling other posters soft for having sympathy for a former player struggling at his new club a " Spirited discussion "

the word i'd use is  " Weak"  

[chook fowler 19,304]

Makes you think Walsh may have been the main man in Ports' early success.

I felt for him the night we selected him.

Weak? Interesting! "Sympathy" , such awasted emotion, "Empathy" is much more appropriate! 

Weak Hnmm I wonder how many players would feel Sympathy for an opponent who is not up to it??

How many Hawthorn players would feel it??

Interesting, Sympathy ! Hnmm

Richardson then Walsh were strong 2ic's 'chook', the spotlight certainly now come on to Hinkley and to a lesser extent Voss.

I'd suggest most people wouldn't have ill feelings for Toump for no reason, and most would wish him well.

but don't let that stop your pointless personal vendetta picket.

Kochy has apologised for his premature 'disgrace' tweet.

Might retract the apology tonight.

To move on from the above waste of space...

I love seeing North and the Dogs in first and second on the ladder (not a huge North fan but it's a different face at the top, which is a positive IMO).

But it's Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn at 3, 4 and 5.

The AFL needs those three clubs to fall apart. Hawthorn has already had to play the Dogs, Geelong, West Coast and Adelaide, hasn't had Roughead all year, hasn't even played that well, and has a 4-1 record. That sickens me.

Personal Vendetta?? Thats a bit strong! I have no vendetta, just pointing out the facts!

I have no personal Ill feelings towards Toumpas! 

But thats Ok Pete, the world is such a Utopia of all encompasing and accepting place full of roses!

Wish we could get some of it!

Please, you have not said a nice thing about the kid, even before he was drafted it had already started and now you're calling posters soft for saying they feel for him when he's having a bad game. 

Not sure what facts you think you're pointing out..

Saw him play for Norwood with Jace Bode on a Friday night a few years ago, where is he playing now?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

If we beat the Tigers tomorrow, who is under the most pressure?  Hardwick, Buckley or Hinkley?

[picket fence 16,818]

Well Pete lets leave it at that. 

A singular Bad game eh!? Ok as I said lets leave it at that, no longer an MFC Player so I will finally say..

1 We should never have drafted him.

I can guarantee he won't be as well, but he's not under any pressure either.

Although Collingwood haven't played yet I still think Buckley. If Collingwood lose, Buckley will be the first coach to be sacked this season.
