Curry & Beer

yeah so now i'll just comment on something completely peripheral to the discussion in order to distract from the fact i have no rebuttal

WYL and stuie you have AGAIN blatently ignored the argument being put forward and simply re-quoted your original position without validating it further in any way whatsoever

to be fair, i'm not sure to what extent bad skills were our problem yesterday - i have certainly seen worse showings in the past.. as many have noted the huge problem seemed to be the gulf between the amount of space the team with the ball had

this is the only thing I am rallying against, this weird propensity for exaggeration we were also undermanned its been established that the age/games of the 2 sides was very close so that sentence does not need to be added to your comment your make your point normally when somebody is a supporter of something their bias leans IN FAVOUR of it, here at demonland it is the other way round and with the scoring shots i have already pointed out many times, again to almost zero rebuttal, that a)of the 20 behinds only a small number were actually 'easy' shots on goal. Why should all the others, taken from tough angles/long distance/under pressure/rushed etc be counted against us? b)what about the Terlich free, the Byrnes turnover gifts that were given, don't these balance it out a bit? c)how many 'easy' goals did we also cough up d)wasn't brissy's kicking in the second half actually really good? e)brissy's season average is 11-16 so these numbers are not even out of character from their regular performances at the end of the day goals are more important than behinds and we kicked three less without Clark or Dawes I know i seem to be labouring a point, but it is an important point. One thing we don't need at the club right now is own supporters going out of their way to exaggerate how bad we are.

or even slightly slow down! i'd settle for that at the moment

so do any of you jellyfish heroes want to go in and bat for junior? my complaint was that with his comment on average games* he represented a lot of posters who are blatantly twisting facts to present the situation is a worse light than it really is. this is the third time i have raised it and it has not been acknowledged *specifically that JBrown should be removed from the average games equation, despite 19 possessions and 3 goals, without any acknowledgement that 2 of our lowest contributors have over 340 games and are far better candidates to be removed from the equation than JBrown

is this the large contribution you are referring to? Massive. if some cretin wants to take brisbane's behinds, and amplify the margin we lost by, I will ask said cretin 'why stop there?' why not just count brisbane a goal with every time they went inside 50. If you are going to use dumb logic you might as well double down

except the two that I came up with that he completely ignored and what's your contribution django other than to comment on comments at least have the knackers to try and put something in, don't just stand behind the guy that is being all negative because you feel like being negative comment commentators, the ultimate jellyfish

yep draft day = this guy is going to carry our side for a decade round 3 = we should have picked ollie wines couple of years in = worst player ever to play the game, castrate and delist him, I hate my life about as much spine as a jellyfish most of the people on here

shhh nobody cares about stats unless they are ANTI melbourne. Pointing out that a player used the ball well is not going to appease the haters. You will get more bang for your buck by again mentioning that Brissy had a lot more disposals than we did yesterday

your assessment of anything is clearly irrational and clouded by your need to cry and whinge, you've just made a fool of yourself and proved this with your average games comment. 3 goals from JBrown is nothing huh and we lost by 3 goals. Numbers dont tell the story even though rodan and davey have played 341 games. You have ignored this rebuttal and you have ignored me pointing out that we have hardly moved an inch from 6 years ago in terms of the maturity of our players. When somebody completely ignores a solid response to their comment it is clear they have no friggin idea what they are talking about. Obviously you are not interested in facts but rather painting the club in the worst light possible because for some reason that makes you feel better, maybe you werent hugged enough as a child, maybe it is a response to repressed sexuality issues, i am not sure, this is not my field, you should take this up with your psychoanalyst, but I digress... I never said we were going well. Obviously we are not. However yesterday was better than 3 weeks ago. I have chosen this day to actually speak up to the plethora of SLBCs roaming the boards at the movement, making things up in attempt to make everyone feel worse than the situation warrants. I won't have a go at you if you don't post absolute garbage like the post I responded to. Simple.

Gibbs has been ruled out. This probably makes us favourites now.

he did kick an excellent goal, just sayin

i'm buggered as to what's happened to Tommy Mac, simply does not look like the same player.. looks like what you get with pick 53 unfortunately

That's true, but it's not a TOTAL fallacy, there is clearly some truth to it

I saw that also, and there was clearly some confusion calling him off and back again etc.. why in the name of god would you bring him off at that point, we were still in the game and desperately needed goalkickers, and a bloke who has been bashed by all and sundry had finally done something, JW must have been fuming inside

in a parallel universe somewhere, Magner played yesterday and was absolutely shyzen.. and smeone made a thread about how awful the MFC are for recruiting/promoting/selecting him

I'll let you know when it happens, with 10 players in yesterday's game having played under 50

another ripping example of SLBC (self-loathing club-basher) desperately twisting the facts to attack the club Brown had 19 disposals and 3 goals. If we had Clark at the end perform similarly we would have kicked 17 goals each and BTW Roan and Davey have a combined total of 341 games, you want to go ahead and just leave them out of the equation also? pathetic comment

so according to you x amount of disposals equal y amount of goals you should be able to know what the scoreline of a match is just by looking at the disposals yet this wasn't the case today, why is that, genius

no I'm saying that your claim that the scoreline flatters us is largely BS go ahead watch the replay, tell me all the simple goals brissy missed that should have made us lose by a heap more then tell me how many we missed ourselves then you can go ahead and do your little doomsday calculation and add about 12 points to the 28 we lost by

no games are won and lost on the scoreboard not the disposal count we kicked 3 less goals this is not rocket science

oh really? brisbane has kicked 56.78 this year, that's 11-16 a game so that shows you that their performance today was actually well above their average performance on goal and hence we weren't let off the hook in any way it has to do with a range of factors about how they play tell me how many of those 20 behinds were red-hot clangers, i'll give you 5 at most, and we had 3-4 ourselves see that's called thinking as opposed to just looking at a stat

can't wait for that, we'll lose comfortably next week, and in his first game back Dawes will get limited, poor quality service from the midfield watch all the selfloathing clubbashers get their teeth stuck into that one just like the mistake of recruiting Byrnes, who has probably been our best player in the last 3 weeks

why did we only lose by 28 then if having a huge number of disposals is so damn important why did we only lose by 28 why why why robbie
