Curry & Beer

where did I say 'don't bother' I said it is nowhere near as important as it used to be the internet was created in 1992 you're using it now

So you had to wait a little bit at training and proceeded to bash the club with post after post. Now that YOU have had your little butt kissed you are happy now.

I wouldn't mind betting that 90%+ of memberships are purchased online/via phone If it was the 1980s or beforehand, the importance of a physical tent would be relevant

I suppose #31 is the same as #1 then is it genius

I notice North Melbourne is not mentioned They are obviously anything but a power club, nonetheless they were right amongst it last year I also haven't been seeing Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon or Richmond making any serious waves in the AFL for some time now If it's all about 'power' why are these clubs continuing to be non-contenders?

what a thighslapper have you considered a career in comedy?

yeah but there was this guy called barlow once upon a time therefore vandenburg is a superstar just like how this bloke named Hird was drafted at a low pick once upon a time so all of our low picks are superstars too don't you know the draft is a lottery, having pick 1 is EXACTLY the same as having pick 100, no difference whatsoever unless of course you are talking about pick 2 and 3 in the recent draft then of course petracca and brayshaw are superstars because you don't get drafted at 2/3 if you are not a superstar it's not like the draft is some sort of lottery unless you are talking about the drafts that Morton, Watts and Toumpas were in those ones were lotteries :|

just quoting this so it doesn't get lost in all the crud

I can't believe it still hasn't been explained what the actual delay was caused by in the first place Did they have a weights session (or something) beforehand that went crazy over the expected timeframe? What could cause the entire group of about 70 people inc staff to be delayed over an hour? What could possibly justify a decision to postpone when they KNOW there are thousands of people waiting for them? There may be a reasonable explanation but I'm staggered it has not even been offered to us The fact the club seems to be doing ZERO to address what is obviously a lot of supporter outrage is now annoying me as much as the incident itself Very, very, very ordinary MFC

Yeah 'agreed'. Solid argument on the issue being discussed which is preseason injuries. Is somebody making a pointless snide comment? Yes I agree with that. Pathetic WTF is a sunken chest

Oh yeah I just made the whole thing up. There has never been a player get completely excused for having an interrupted preseason. I must have imagined it. Do you think I GAF what you 'take a liking to' ? If you are offended because I regularly make you look like the goose that you are, just suck it up and try to make more sense occasionally.

Me and several others who pointed out the idiocy of your stance. You can see for yourself of course by navigating the pages of this thread.

Did it occur to you that perhaps Stretch is on some sort of program dictated by the qualified professionals working at the club? Or it might just be the fact that the kid is light as a feather and not ready for AFL yet.

If a player misses any part of the preseason, and then fails to perform in the season, he gets a 'golden ticket' from some of the weaker minds around here who excuse his lack of quality with an 'interrupted preseason' comment. Watch it happen. Thankfully there were no new recipients from tonights game.

Oh look who's chiming in with another snide remark. You've proven your analytical depth with your sterling '2 comes before 3' argument. Run that by us again Mr.Football, it was so well considered and articulated change 'band 1 compensation' to 'anything decent in trade from another club' then. Same deal

Gawn did a couple of truly pathetic kicks tonight, and as usual he seems incapable of taking a grab despite being a foot taller than his opponent. Frustrating.

You were pumping up Garland in another thread. I reckon you have blinkers on. His reputation far exceeds what he generally delivers on gameday. He is in his 9th season now, and he still gives away many silly unnecessary frees that cost us goals

He did make a bunch of mistakes though - the type of mistakes that Jordie, Grimes, Terlich etc get crucified for on this site. Obviously Tyson does a lot of great things also but he has a way to go to be considered a-grade

we won the inside 50s 43 - 37

That's correct - you don't understand. The coaching staff does.

imagine if Hogan got hurt

already gone we might miss out on band 1 compensation because he won't do squat this year due to his golden ticket status

Jesus we get it You were put in your place several pages ago

its not a joke

I must be too mentally scarred because I feel a sick, nervous sense of overwhelming dread
