  1. a) nice attempt to blatently lie, but in 2015 the bombers crowds ave 41k vs our ave 30k. Factoring in our horrific shceduling, that's pretty much a wash. It certainly isn't double as you say, double being half of 4x, which is your argument. b) memberships ess 61k vs mel 36k. Have you got your calculator out? Here's a hint, 4 times 36 is 144. c) that chart might be the dumbest thing i've seen this year. SYDNEY is by far the most supported club eh? They have 6 times the supporters as us but only 49k members. Right. You've shown us a chart of who has the most fickle, non-attending, non-paying mebers, and guess what they won't be at the MCG this weekend. how about we just wait for the game and afterwards we'll run a poll asking if people thought we were outnumbered 4:1 as you predict
  2. did they know though? I thought there would be 2-3 more minutes in the quarter which is too early to shut up shop
  3. the best way to avoid being a whipping boy is to produce the footy everyone knows that you are capable of funny coincidence nobody is potting Watts at the moment huh
  4. BS. He's passionate and competitive. It's part of what makes him so good. Deal with it.
  5. it's been nearly 12 years since we won a game by 100 points+
  6. as I said, Oliver and Tyson were tied up with their opponents so they had to be positioned wherever they were. Viney went loose and it was his man that got the tap
  7. It was Viney's fault also. He was on Shiel at that moment and for some reason gave him his own space right in Maxy's strike zone. He should have been right on his hammer and just blanketed him as soon as he hawked the tap, secondary ball up, game over. Oliver and Tyson were both wearing their opponent which was the right thing to do in that situation.
  8. replay is here, no subscription required http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay
  9. I feel good too, despite the fact that I drank like Hemingway last night
  10. precisely. One of the reasons Hawthorn cut everyone to shreds is because when they do that link up play they actually hand the ball to their teamates' advantage, not to their toes (funny that!). We did this about 20 times today and it is unforgivable for a junior suburban player, let alone an AFL professional.
  11. i rate Tyson but to be fair this is much more than 'one off game'
  12. horse5hit his first year with us he regularly put on some dazzling displays of skill and was a very valuable player he has it in him, but he's lost it for the moment
  13. not to mention the umpires were CONSTANTLY working against but we didn't let them break us. Big Max missed a regulation set shot after the 3QT siren, my head was literally hanging very low in my hands. It wasn't the same story for the 22 demons out there, they said EFF THIS, this is our match, and they took it
  14. he went way out of his way to go to every player within 65 of the goal to rev them up, he did a little tour, when traditionally it is players going to the goalkicker, not the other way around. Absolutely made a statement that he wanted to drag us over the line
  15. i find it representative of how rubbish some of the stats we use today are. For viney in particular, almost every possession he gets is under extreme pressure, often hacking it out of a glut of 10 players or more OF COURSE he is going to have a higher rate than most in terms of it going the opposition's way, but the overall net gain of his influence massively outweighs this. It is the Vineys of the world that are the most important players on the ground. That's why any serious 'analyst' who looks at stats like those should be beheaded
  16. mate this is garbage. Up until 3QT every inside 50 we had was Jesse in the middle of 20 blokes. In the last we somehow gave him some space and from that he clunked one, got a free from two others, and set up a fourth.
  17. something's wrong, for sure. He was given the golden ticket for the entirety of 2015 but there's no excuse now. wtf would such a gifted youngster become the clanger machine that he has?
  18. had to be said shades of montagna at etihad and us throwing away the game that couldnt be lost have to be better than that
  19. really? I missed it. I was at the ground screaming my lungs out like a real supporter
  20. and a best and fairest finish that was vastly higher than anybody who watched the season would have thought Roosy wasn't born yesterday
  21. don't talk 5hite A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Someone who wins a Pyrrhic victory has been victorious in some way. However, the heavy toll negates any sense of achievement or profit. Another term for this would be "hollow victory".
  22. how can you say that after witnessing the final quarter demolition job we put on
