Curry & Beer

Can you elaborate on that

he didn't say that at all, he said we're in with a decent chance

It's not MY statement, it's yours. You've been talking about 'upsetting the balance'.. well the logical next step from that statement is that our forward line is perfect without Dawes and he might as well not be there unless somebody gets injured Our midfield was pretty good too, so why isn't it a case of Vince returning upsetting something

Can someone please explain to me why our game vs Geelong will be the 6th time in the last 7 meetings we have had to go down to that shithole? What is the justification for such a blatant imbalance and obvious disadvantage? It never gets mentioned, I actually do not know the reasoning for it.

think about how loud 27,000 of us were on Saturday MC is SO lucky he won't have to face that, instead we play them at SS where our supporters can hardly even get into the ground wtf do I mean 'lucky' , 90% of our games vs geelong are down there. What a disgrace

Well said He has probably 6-7 seasons to go, if that means another 130-odd games like he had this week, or better than that, he will have been a fine acquisition indeed

are the wins worth less than 4 premiership points or something

His first 2 goals were complete gimmes then he hardly touched it for a half of footy. His last goal was a lovely kick though

top 8 I dunno

mate what you are effectively saying is that bc we kicked a good score last week, Dawes' usefulness at the MFC is no longer applicable

how lucky was it, that seconds before that fumble, cross was paid a free kick against him for 'taking out the legs' because a GC player fell over him while he was extracting the ball. Right after that it was very lucky they got another garbage free kick, for which everybody stopped, and adavantage was unfairly paid. That's how it got from the wing to the goalsquare for Ablett to fumble it, and that was the main reason I was cheering so loudly when it happened. Go watch the replay, they got 'lucky' 3 times in 10 seconds courtesy of the umps right before that.

as if once we got 4 goals out we just held them back again and again, they never really looked like it

I can't believe how many people have said this All we hear is whinge whinge about our players not going hard and making the enemy earn it, Dawes gets rubbed out (bc the MRP is a softc-ck POS) and we are calling it a 'stupid act' for which he effectively deserves to be dropped Make up your minds In case people haven't noticed, there is a total of ONE KPF who has a 100+ games experience on our list. He is also a recognised leader and a physical presence, with his positioning alone likely to rise the value of Hogan and Watts and our structure in general. How many reasons do you need? Will be straight back in

really? tell me more

'absolutely nothing' is not quite right.. it means we performed better than 14 clubs in the first outing. Our opponent was not all that flash though if we're being honest Next week: A real chance to get back-to-back wins for the first time since r13/14, 2011

clark just got his first touch in about an hour and you could definitely hear booing. Think about that Mitchy boy

Rd 13/14, 2011 was our last back-to-back wins.. some 70 matches ago

I would say we had 21 good contributors on Saturday, without Vince and Dawes. We would need a few injuries to really feel the brunt of our questionable depth

The win up in Adelaide last year was pretty spesh too

look so good on the replay, all 4 players fell like bowling pins, Hoges was the first to bounce up, shouldn't be able to do that on debut

Fair call actually Watts was way more influential on the result though

blatant anti-watts discrimination! Ablett was underdone, and he had a fair impact anyway, having a hand in about 5 goals! None of Viney's possessions did much damage! Overrated performance!

Yep, played the best game he has played in quite a long time

problem is then he just gets another holiday

I never said anything like that and you damn well know it. I suggested that we would be better off picking a more experienced player in order to win the game. That's it. It's perfectly straightforward and reasonable. This type of pathetic baiting is what annoys folks who read this site and should be banworthy. I hate you.
