  1. I'd rather sit it out than have a collect against the boys. I couldn't enjoy a $115 collect knowing it had come at the cost of a Demon loss.

    if only Frawley was as passionate as you... I would be more than happy to collect knowing the boys lost, I'm just not into gambling...
  2. I bet against us all the time but usually as part of a multi bet - considering our performances over the last decade you'd be an [censored] if you put money on us.T

    The only time this has hurt me is Queens Bday 2012, I needed Collingwood to win by over 45 points or something and I would pocket over $600 for a $5 bet. Sammy Blease kicks a great goal from the boundary with under a minute to go to bring the margin to 41 points and I lose out. Was cursing that goal for weeks.

    $5 sound reasonable, most could forget about five bucks... $100 though, thats a tank of petrol and a good lunch... I guess i just don't get gambling...
  3. Last I checked there is no 'what is their first pick' clause for FA compo. Then again, the AFL have historically been quite happy to invent / override process as they go.

    lol... If we finish last again and Frawley leaves, then really we should be looking at picks 1(PP), 2 and 3(Frawley compensation)... Would the AFL do it? And if they don't.. How will they justify giving one to GWS?
  4. I must say when I started this poll I didn't expect "I don't care" to be the top of the poll.

    Why would you be surprised? We have been finishing last or there abouts for years, its dull the effect... Kind of like the Australian Cricket team winning all the time a few years back, It becomes normal and uninteresting... Its hard to care if we achieve similar result each year... I wont be reflecting on last year with pride as a better year to this one, because we finish last this year and third last the year before... Its all the same to me...
  5. Fair enough comment! However I'll stick to my opinion and you will stick to yours!

    I'd be surprised if you didn't...lol... This was fun... You should open a thread about how great you were and ill post my opinions of how much i care...lol..
  6. And what is your opinion?

    we shouldn't be happy about her result today because she didn't finish first and it was only the commonwealth games?

    lol... Do you really need the answer?

    Looks like superman went to bed...lol... I could make up an answer for you if you like, but I'm pretty sure you know how it would read...lol..

    Oops... I was wrong... There he is...

  7. Ok I'll answer my own Rhetoric

    I would much rather a First in the Commonwealth games Marathon than Third in an Olympic games event!

    You amateur shrinks can work out my rationale for that one.

    Oh and to Dazzle Davey

    I was never the last one picked in Primary School, around the middle, but In secondary moved up the ladder considerably!

    By the time I was of Adult years I was always one of the first picked in any sport!

    And I'll tell you why

    I hated losing, I gutsed out tough situations, I had plenty of skill, and finally, I was a master Sledger!

    "Cesspool" league it might have been but Nothing NOTHING makes up for being FIRST!

    Jess Trengove as I have said Good effort! No trolling with that comment!

    Well clearly your basing your statements about you, and how great you were...lol... smh.. In a thread about Jess Trengove's latest achievement...

    Even if you played at the highest levels of aussie rules, the cesspool...lol... your achievements are a pittance to a bronze medal in the commonwealth games...mate, no one cares about anything you have done or how you did it... Pffft... Attention grabbing has been sad sack...lol

  8. Exactly my point! This is not a "World stage" This a poor man's "World Stage"

    I won my awards in the equivalent then of a "Cesspool" Standard stage.

    Lets be quite clear on this, Its ok to finish Second, Third, Whatever!

    BUT the Ultimate in any sport is to finish first! FIRST

    Who really remembers third?

    Very Good Achievement no doubt BUT it isn't first!

    FIRST is everything! In any standard in any sport!

    Got It?

    If first was everything... Then why do they hand out silver and bronze medals?

    Thats a really shallow view on sport in general and its kind of sad... Surely giving your all is enough... Who really cares where you finish? I'd be rapped just to be able to compete...

    Can you remember the marathon gold medallist from the London Olympics? I can't... But i know I'll remember Jess's third, because of Jack...

  9. Well its like this, you can be always happy with whatever level of achievement you like! I never finished third I don't think, in any awards in my career. Finished first in plenty of Footy and Cricket awards, so its all relative. There are standards and standards! So Third in a Commonwealth games event is pretty good! The equivalent on the world stage would be?? and let me finally ask this, would we be talking about this if it wasn't Jack Trengoves sister??

    I think not!

    So, Third in Commonwealth games, well done!

    Ah anything else I need lecturing on??

    And by the way "I LOVE INSIDE MIDS"!

    ummm... So what would first in a footy award be equivalent to on the world stage... Pfft..

    Of course we are only talking about her here because she is Jack's sister... I can't see any other threads on here about any other commonwealth games medallist... Whether you like it or not, there is a connection here... SMH...

  10. Can we claim jess's victory as our own, because of Jack? Its weird how I have feelings of pride, like we won something...lol... Congrats to the Trengove's!!

    There's already been cheap shots at Jack here about his running...smh... Jeez... I'm sure there will be more, but really give it a rest... Jack has been playing with stress fractures in his foot for almost two years... The club should have this picked up earlier, they are at fault here... Not Jack... Its half arsed development and half arsed rehab, down at our club... Lol..

  11. I've seen enough improvement to know, this team wont be down here for much longer... The direction has been set...

    If we aren't in the hunt for finals, then i don't care where we finish... 18, 12, 9... May as well finish last... After 7 years going on 8, its nothing new really... Its hard to feel upset if it happens all the time... Regardless of our position at the end of the year, I'll still be a demon and I'll still hope that next year is the year... Because dreams are all i have...

  12. I'd hate to suggest it but surely if we finish bottom 3 again an application for a priority pick will be made, we're sitting on 37 wins in 8 seasons

    we should have got one last year... I'd be disappointed if we didn't ask... We have been butchered in the media over draft picks, but if any club needs one its us... 8 years in the bottom 4, I'm surprised we still have supporters...
  13. On mmm tonight at the end of the coverage from the melbourne studio they said they will talk about Frawley tomorrow and which clubs have spoken to him and Garry mentioned that some coaches may have contacted him mentioned Chris scott. Garry basically said melbourne should offer motlop 3 years and 700,000. I think his point was how would Scott feel if roosy spoke to one of his players.

    I thought there was some rule about approaching FA players and you have to wait until the end of the season.

    lol... I'd be surprised if he hasn't already agreed to something... The rule is just a token gesture for fans losing players... the AFL don't mind the shady back room deals, they'd just say to clubs "don't get caught"...
  14. Taylor Adams disposal is atrocoious

    makes Jack Grimes look like Cyril RIoli

    most Pies fans see Adams as a huge disappointment

    Collingwood wont rush Adams... He will develop there at a steady rate, like most young players... We place way to much pressure on our second and third year players, because we rely on them... Unlike other clubs.... If Adams was playing for us, most here would have him half way out the door... I doubt Collingwood are disappointed by his progress...
  15. Collingwood seems like a strange choice

    Thats one team we could go past in 2015. They are losing good players to retirement soon or already have, and Swan is burned out

    I reckon he will sign with Gold Coast

    they might still be coming down from from high altitude...
  16. If it were a choice between Treloar and Shiel, then I'd go for Treloar... Shiel looks a solid player, but Treloar is in the top ten midfielders in the comp this year... Easy choice really...

    Seems to be a massive group crush thing happening here with Shiel... I'd say Cameron and Treloar are way better players than Shiel...
