Not good for anybody.First time I have seen my kids speechless for 3 entire hours was the 140 point loss to Hawthorn, don't want any of us to go through that sort of public massacre again.Back to prime time when we have something to show case. spot on Quote Selected
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #16 – October 26, 2015, 04:42:38 pm Listened to SEN ( I dont know why I bother) and Slobbo said CARLTON didnt deserve to be in th e opening game of the the SEASON against Tiggers.When the Tiggers were down and out I never heard him say they didnt deserve to be the opening game or worse never ever heard him say lets take away ANZAC day match or the DREAMTIME game from The Druglords. What an absolute flog,dickhead Quote Selected
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #17 – October 26, 2015, 04:52:51 pm I turned it off it made so angry... Robbo wanted to give every single showcase game to "more deserving" clubs like the pies and cheats FC. Quote Selected
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #18 – October 26, 2015, 04:56:35 pm Professor he wanted to give the opener to the Dogs v Tiggers ,lucky to be 60000 at the game and 50000 will be Tigger supporters anyway Quote Selected
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #19 – October 26, 2015, 04:59:03 pm We had 83k this year then going backwards 80k, 78k, 61k, 72k, 86k, 72k, 60k when we had the tigers in R1 (not sure if they've all been season openers).Why don't we deserve it? Quote Selected
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #20 – October 26, 2015, 06:23:02 pm We have close to the largest fan base of any club, albeit much of that is currently latent support. It staggers me that people like Robbo dismiss this so readily.When we get back on our feet you watch them all come crawling back to jump on the bandwagon... Hawks v coasters, meh, we'd pull 90 000 at our next final vs just about anybody.And we'd win the bloody thing too. Quote Selected
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #21 – October 26, 2015, 08:11:25 pm I would have been ecstatic if we didn't open the season. No more prime time for us until we have something to offer/show. Quote Selected
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #22 – October 27, 2015, 08:34:34 am HTF does cheats FC establish yet another marquee game and call it the "country game". Last I saw Essendon was a suburb of Melbourne!The heading "bush master... Sheedy launches Farmer's clash" is on the back page of the small paper - had to read it twice, initially thought it read "bullcrap master... Sheedy launches Farmer's clash".The arrogance of that mob is deadest unbelieveable. Quote Selected

How much good would of the come from behind win in Adelaide have done that squad in 00's? AFL would still realize that we can draw a crowd when the time is right, a few early Melbourne games when the optimism is still around then travelling to WA and QLD mid season. Get to warmer places for a few days to recharge. Quote Selected

Re: 2016 Draw Reply #28 – October 27, 2015, 10:00:58 am No Friday night footy......AFL (and moreso the Hun) think it's a slap in the face, as far as I'm concerned they're doing us a favour!!! Rushing home from work, end-of-week tiredness, Friday night traffic, staying for just 3 quarters (if that) watching us get flogged, weekend ruined before it's begun.......no more of that = win-win!!! Thanks AFL!!! Quote Selected

The only thing they didn't give them was sheep dip. Quote Selected
