Jaded No More

How the hell do the Eagles have salary cap issues when they are so bad? No Judd, no Cousins, Cox is surely eligible for Vets list, Kerr is on half a leg, and the rest are kids. WTF? Also, no.

I love this place in the off season. Shame about all the stoners.

Well now that we no longer have arguments about the relative greatness of players who are 192cm, we have so much more time on our hands to scrutinise other posters.

A bogan with a tie is still a bogan

You lost me at Red Rooster then won me again at outer. You haven't lived if you haven't experienced footy at the bogan level

I'm also pretty sure we had a Josh Fraser thread?

The possible drafting of the recently delisted, and previous knighted, Jordan McMahon.

But he does cause you to do something else in your pants sometimes

James Frawley was awesome in the first half, and then Green dominated in the second. Fingers crossed LJ gets a run next year when the game is played in Australia. It would be some sort of spectacle! Btw, Malthouse is a brilliant coach. He completely managed to shut down Ireland. We dominated 6 of the 8 quarters played over the two games, by just not allowing them to move the ball beyond the half way mark.

When I start calling Michael Newton a selfish, self-centered egomaniac, then feel free to pull me up on it. Until then, enjoy continuing to beat your own chest like the big man that you think you are around here.

I know they will be televised, I just hope they are LIVE!

HA! That is so rich coming from the biggest egotistical, self righteous jerk on this site B)

I hate FTA footy actually, because there is so little analysis, they generally cut straight to the news and in most cases games are delayed significantly. If given the choice, I would selfishly want all of our interstate games to be live on Foxtel, but from a club perspective FTA exposure is so much more important. I just hope that our away games this year are televised live. I think the night games (round 6 and round 17) will be, but I worry about the game against Gold Coast on Sunday and the floating round 24 game which may well end up on pay TV.

Valid criticism of players is always acceptable if it is related to their football and done in a nice manner. But nobody here has a right to personally insult players, be it current or past. You don't know the players personally, so don't comment on their personality, especially when it has no baring on their football ability. Robbo was a great player for us, who gave his absolute best for the team and the club. What he does now, is none of our business and I find it pretty distasteful that anonymous people behind a screen are passing judgment.

Just canceled our Foxtel subscription for next year. Don't need it when all of our interstate games are on FTA and I go to all Victorian based matches.

Come on, very few nice things have been said about Robbo on this site since retirement, and even during the twilight of his career. He has done absolutely nothing wrong to anyone on here, or to the club, so it surprises me to see the negative reactions, even if they aren't in the majority.

For some reason though whenever Robbo is mentioned around here, you always have a few clowns who feels the need to stick the boot in, or complain about him. Say what you like, but he was an important part of our club for over a decade and always gave his very best to the team. He never did anything but represent our club with pride. I don't see why people now have to make throwaway nasty comments about him. It's as pointless and pathetic as idiots who abuse Brock McLean over Twitter. FFS!

Absolutely. If given a choice, I'm sure the club would rather have a draw that helps us get into the finals, than a draw that will net us a bigger profit but gives us a small chance of making finals. Sustained success is what will bring us the biggest long term financial windfall. I'm VERY happy with this draw, with the exception of having to travel in Round 24, and also having to play a home game at that craphole Etihad.

A sad end to the career of someone who could have been a superstar. His final against Adelaide was the best individual game I've ever witnessed live.

Melbourne Football Club Supporter Syndrome: an irrational fear of the worst; aka "we are all going to die and it's panic time"

Indeed. It'll save me plenty of time writing useless "I like this/I agree" replies.

Somebody just watched The Big Bang Theory B)

Was just about to post that. Garland is probably one full pre-season away from reaching Frawley-like attack-defense awesomeness.

I call [censored]. FFS, I hate the AFL!

I wonder who has decided to make themselves an alias. It's almost as intriguing as the mind numbing ramblings about the merits of this thread, which started out with a very interesting question and ended in poo.
