Title: 2008 Non-Richmond games
Post by: mightytiges on February 10, 2008, 12:10:38 AM
LOL the Pies getting flogged by 80 points  :rollin. Welcome to commentating Bucks  :lol.

I still reckon the Crows will struggle when the real stuff gets going but sheesh they are flying for early February.

Adelaide I thought were very impressive considering what many including myself perceive that they will slide down the table.
As for the Pies again all talk and nothing to show for it. Safaris in South Africa cleaning up at black jack tables at casinos all off field stuff. On field one big fat zero. One thing I love was a mate of mine who is a pie fan still feels that if the Pies had beaten the Caats in the prelim last year they would have won the flag :lol

enjoyed the game immensely.

Because now if we lose no-one will be talking about us, it will all be about the pies and how slow they looked etc.

Was also delightesd that young Thomas didn't disappoint me pulling out of another contest, coupled with his brain fade in the 3rd - a wonderful effort that  ;D

The perfect start to the NAB cup IMHO  :thumbsup

It'd be nice if we had such clean skills as the Crows did last night.

You're right Magic but anytime the Pies get thrashed is good for a laugh  ;D.

How about Malthouse whinging about Collingwood travelling too much. Welcome to the real world Mick. Now you have some idea on how the other 15 sides feel when they have to fit around the Pies' soft draw every year. Still you only have to travel twice during the preseason and don't have back to back interstate trips during the real stuff  ::).

Pussies up by 33 points against a 3-4 goal breeze and doing as they please against the poor Dees. Doesn't look like any premiership hangover.

The Cats went to sleep in the 3rd then turned the afterburners on in the last to win by 12 goals. 

The Blues are up and running although Port don't have their star mids both Burgoynes and Cornes playing. They're still average but we've got miles of work to do to match their effort, intensity and pressure before round 1.

The Hawks were lucky to get through against a Sydney ressies side. If it was normal scoring the Swans would've won.

Rotten luck for Malceski. Done his ACL apparently.

Title: Re: 2008 Non-Richmond games
Post by: mightytiges on February 23, 2008, 01:32:16 AM
Well Bomber fans are taking the NAB Cup results seriously. They've been calling up SEN tonight saying they are going to finish in the top 6 lol.

Knighter has them ready to go now but it's only February. Let's see how they are travelling by June when the opposition clubs aren't underdone as clearly the doggies were tonight and analyse the Bombers properly. As you said Julz, Carlton over the last 5 years have played like millionaries during preseason yet have still finished bottom 2.

You have to admit, the way they played and there game style/plan was pretty good, way better than us.
At least they showed something.
They look pretty exciting to me.
Might also add that 11 out of the 26 who played had played less than 5 games.

Its not about who wins or loses, its the way you play.
The best form of defense is attack, as you all saw last night.
With the Tigers game plan, we defend by kicking wide,short,around corners, backwards, there lies the difference
Not one person on this forum could say the didnt like what they seen last night, it was exciting to watch.
Better than the rubbish the tiges continually dish up

I can becuase i didn't watch it.  Not high on my list of things I'd like to do watching the Bombers.
Why don't you go and support them Jack - is nauseating the luv you have for this club.
I don't share it and I hope all their supporters like you get a nice reality check come season proper  :thumbsup
Anyone who gets carried away with a club this time of year is just silly.
Yuo cannot gauge how much real pressure the opposition was putting on them.
Just ridiculous when you consider how good Carlton were the last couple of years and where that got them when the real comp started.
And I'm surprised you of all people get sucked in by it.

Excuses Excuses.
I try watch every game , every week if I can , if you havent realised ::)
You should go and watch other teams play, you might get an idea how football should be played.
Not the rubbish that Richmond dish up.
Oh yeah thats right, we are a run and carry team ::) That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard that we are a run and carry team
All I said that essendon played and exciting brand of footballl last night, nothing more , nothing less
They actually played like Matty Knights played the game, taking the opponent on at all costs, it was great to watch actually.
Thats right, you and most supporters like to see Raines kick it to Bowden then Back to Raines, then back to Bowden'. :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

Middle of the road, anywhere from 7th to 11th.
Will surprise a few teams due to there pace and there attacking style.
The coach might be all right as well, you will find. People on this forum have judged Knighta by his efforts at the Bendigo Bombers, ::) he is a alot  better than that, the coach will surprise a lot of people here, I can tell you.

If you don't think the Bombers will finish bottom 4 then you are seriously overrating preseason form. You can't expect kids to last 22 rounds of AFL footy especially at a club with such a poor middle core. As for Knighter most people here have said he'll be a scapegoat while the Bombers rebuild. Their list will get worse (through retirements down their spine) before it gets better.   
Title: Re: 2008 Non-Richmond games
Post by: Little Jackie on February 23, 2008, 03:10:18 PM
Would think the bottom 4 teams would be Richmond, Kangaroos, Melbourne. Western Bulldogs. Maybe Carlton ??
Then you would have a group of teams ""middle of the road"",which include. Carlton,? Essendon,Sydney,Adelaide and Collingwood.
You geniuses have a much better idea than I have, you can work it out, lol
As I have said many times, the results on the scoreboard dont matter, it how you play!
The scoreboard will take care of itself.

Competition is too even to make that divide. A few injuries to players you can't replace and a middle of the road side becomes crap. LOL @ North are a worse side than Essendon. Essendon won only 2 games in the second half of last year and one of those was to a Carlton side that took their 3 best players off in the last quarter to tank but the Bombers are lower-half top 8 material.

Barrack for an error-riddled game  ;). As much as I hate the Hawks it's probably in our round 1 interests that the Blues lose. Winning the NAB Cup last year meant Carlton were up and about and had momentem going into round 1.

Btw good win by the Saints over the Pussies but losing Gehrig, Kosi and Hudghton is a blow for them just 4 weeks out from the start of the year. Kosi is a gun but sheesh he's injury prone.

Well isn't a week a long time in footy

Another week of glorified practice matches and what have we learnt .... first and foremost you cannot take much out of praccy form.

Last week it was all about the new look Carlton the big 2008 improver, this week they showed that not much has changed at all - they are still an average team. Their skills under pressure loooked like dare I say it gone backwards ;D

Bomber supporters are the funniest of the lot - talking top 5 finishes. Are they are better team without LLoyd in the team - I think they are  :rollin. Let's see how they go when the real pressure is on....

That oges for every tem in the comp as I said last week..... NAB cup results mean nothing. But heck if you want to base a teams H&A fortunes on Practice match form ...good luck to ya  :thumbsup

You've got to feel for Muston. We talk about Cogs doing his knee twice. This is likely this kid's 3rd ACL. The Hawks took the risk drafting him relatively early in the 2005 draft but it looks like his footy career is finished before it has even started.

Both North and the Bummers were crap today. If we can keep the skills ok and maintain the intensity we showed in the second half against Carlton neither of these teams should cause us much of a problem. Of course if we go back to playing like the first half against Carlton then we will be beaten and deserve to be 16th.

Bummers crap ::) ::) ::) You are kidding. You would have to more intoxicated than Kane Johnson if you think that :cheers

What amazes me on this forum that a lot of people(experts) think that the other 15 teams are crap. Hate to tell you this, we are crap, you dont win wooden spoons for the sake of it.
Todays game at the dome was the one of  quickest game you would  see.
If you experts know anything about football, Carlton dropped away badly in the second half against us.

North fell away as badly as Carlton if you're going to make excuses. The funny is both games were similar where the team that won was down by 4 goals early on before kicking 90% of the remaining goals. Yet we are crap yet Essendon are brilliant  ::).

If we play with the same gussto and attitude to the ball as we did againt Carltank we should have a fairer than better chance of beating Norf. But we will still need all their big name players to be out of the game like they were today. But I still will say we will win, just like Arnie would say.  :gotigers

It still doesn't change my point. Despite similar style wins - Richmond won because Carlton faded badly yet Essendon won because they were good. Spot the contradiction  ::). You do realise when the bombers finished 15th in 2006 they pumped the reigning premiers in round 1 and Lloyd kicked 9. Someone's getting carried away after one game :rollin. I have always said we'd finish bottom 4 this year. I know where we are at unlike those at Windy Hill who are talking finals/top 4.

I respect other teams who have actually done something to earn that respect. I think the current Geelong side is one of the best sides ever. Barring a lot of injuries they'll go back-to-back. So to say I don't rate other clubs is crap. I just judge on substance not hype. Top 4 wasn't it last year for the bombers and the year before that :sleep.

Anyway this thread is about Richmond playing North next week. Who gives a stuff about Essendon  :sleep.

I watched the whole game today and apart from the first quarter I thought the bombers played pretty well. There were passengers in their side but I was very impressed with McVeigh and Lovett-Murray who had a real fire in his belly and his tackling was inspirational. You can tell that some players are responding to Knights style of coaching especially players like Hille.
North looked a little thin on the ground. If we can shut down the likes of Harvey, Simpson and Grant, we could come close to beating them. Without these 3 they appear to have no other inspirational players.

gee the Bulldogs were down & out at 1/4 time were 37pts down at one stage & then after the 2nd quarter started it was a pure awesome display of fast football & Bulldogs smashed the Saints all over the ground it was all one sided

teams better beware of the Western Bulldogs they are unpredictable
l picked them tonight to win by 4 points tonight but the won by about 6 goals
some great young players in that side & Johnson never scored 1 goal & they kicked a big score
there 3-0 & play us in 2 weeks at the dome l think there way to fast & back each other up & are real hard
what everyone think of that performance from them tonight

They looked awesome tonight. The last 3 quarters were are total opposite to the way the first panned out, but yes they looked quick and very skillfull. Have Essendon Us and the Eagles at the Dome next 3 weeks so they may be 6-0 and really flying, although I can't see anyone heading the Cats at this early stage of the year.

Murphy is an absolute gun. The game changed when he was moved to basically a mobile CHF in the second quarter. That allowed the dogs to straighten up with the resting ruckman closer to goal alongside leading midsized forwards Johnson and Welsh. Their midfielders fitness to keep up that hard running and fierce tackling and attack on the 50/50 ball for the whole game was incredible. Just to goes to show how the massive number of interchanges occurring now is impacting on modern footy. I thought Aker had his best game in dogs colours and it was Minson's best game in a couple of years. Cooney and Griffen (after halftime) were too classy for the Saints. Lyon was crazy not paying young Josh Hill any respect and allowing him to just run around by himself for most of the night.

It was just a good game of footy to watch. Only downside is the rules and the way they are interpruted nowdays, some of that is just mind blowing.

The Doggies will be as they can adjust to different opponents. They'll be happy to play unaccountable footy like tonight knowing they have way too much class and they won't make as many mistakes either as they did tonight. Even Eade said afterwards it was the most basic mistakes the dogs have made in ages. They only played 2 quarters and still won by 5 goals. They've now got a 9 day break to freshen up while we'll be coming back from Perth  :-\.

Round 9 is too far away yet especially as Bombers are going down every week.

Geelong hardly have to get out of first gear these days. The Saints threw everything at them early and should have been further in front but then Geelong goes bang bang bang and it's another easy win for them. The only thing they have to worry about is the match review committee.

If the RFC thinks the media is gunning for them then it would be 10 times worse if not for Melbourne being crap.

Stage 1 MT of the Essendon blueprint. (Heads In The Sand)
Love the way the real pain is disguised by the fact that commentators like Schwarz and scribes most notably Rohan and Robbo think the Bombers are playing great footy. 18 15 123 to 14 3 87. Double scoring shots. Saints could have won by 10 goals plus. People with (Heads In The Sand) won't see that though, and with Pies Power and Swannies coming up in their next 3 our dreamtime game could see them being injury riddled and 2-6 going into it with the Round 1 win over North a fluke a distant memory and an accidental smokescreen to their real on field problems. :lol

McVeigh and Lucas yes are in their top 3 but Lonergan is like saying Polo is out for us. Dempsey as a quality youngster is the only other one out. The rest are fringe/VFL players. In any case no one gave us sympathy last year with no Simmo, Browny, Cogs etc. This is not directed at you TM but people who last year said injuries aren't an excuse can't now use it to defend Essendon. Seriously the Dons were woeful last night apart from 15 minutes and that was only because Milne and co were being cocky idiots. Uncompetitive for 3 quarters isn't good football as we know all too well.

Still a serious doubt as to whether anyone can come close to the Cats though... Hawks looked decent oing forwards at times but Brisbane could always break and run right through them.

Its depressing watching Buddy - he seems to have a cracker every time I watch them. Hopefully one or two of our boys use it as a bit of motivation when they see the standard a fellow 2005 draftee is setting.
I feel consoled when I know that even the Hawks and Western Bulldogs overlooked him as well.

l know l would love to have a mongrel in our team like Jordon Lewis, his a tuff footballer.
clubs recruit what they need most important at the time & sometimes have to overlook such players as Buddy,  as did the Hawks on thier first choice cause Roughhead is also a fine footballer who will be dominate like the days of Dunstall.
l was hoping we would draft him but Richmond had to many forwards like Rewoldt, Hughes, Shultzs & so we took Deledio but thing that peees me off is we band-aid our players & not playing deledio solid in the midfield surprises me but anyway Tambling may cover that if he continue to develope into a fine player
But out of that draft 2004 the hawks got that extra bonus of grabbing Lewis, a type of player every club would like to own

We didn't have too many forwards (Hughes & Riewoldt came later  ;)). We didn't have too much of anything except recycled players. Made perfect sense to draft best available, which at that time was considered to be Deledio 1 and Tambling 2.

Lewis is a good player. Seems very undisciplined though.

Glad Robbo on SEN this arvo finally mention that the Dogs overlooked Buddy too. They had/have the mids that we didn't at the time of the 2004 draft so Buddy would've made a huge difference to them at CHF now. It would've freed up Murphy and Brad Johnson into the midfield or as third/fourth talls.

I thought the comic relief was Didak running into an open goal to win it for the Pies and missing. :lol
That too HT74  :lol. Although we can't laugh as much today as we choked too but at least we didn't lose.

Bombers were woeful again after quarter time. It's going to be a long year for them especially if Davey has done his ACL. The pressure will start to build on Knighter too.

There's also already talk that with the Dons struggling and rebuilding over the next few years whether it's time to give someone else a go on ANZAC Day. I hope the RFC is listening and ready to pounce if the opportunity arises.

Will never happen. Well not in the near future anyway. Fortunes of a clubs or clubs can change quickly. When Collingwood were struggling and rebuilding in 99-01 there was no talk off that and Eddie surely would have stuck his nose in to prevent a change. If it does happen then we need to be in a position to put our hand up.

The Pies were still competitive during that period and still won their fair share of ANZAC Day games. Plus the nuff-nuffs turn up to it even when they were crap lol. Essendon on the other hand won't keep their spot if they are on the end of another couple 12 goal hidings. Who wants to watch one-sided games. Plus the crowd dipped slightly this year. Still huge at 88k but lower than the 90+k they were getting and nothing a decent Carlton or Richmond side couldn't pull with the significance of the day. I'm not saying it'll happen next year or the one after but if Essendon struggle over the next few years then the MCC and AFL will act as public interest will wane.

Yep Freo threw everything at them but the Pussies are just too good. The handbags had been truly thrown away. Selwood is a gun. Scarily he's still only a teenager  :o.

A shattering loss for Freo given how well they played last night. Season basically over already.

On a side note this should give us some confidence even though you shouldn't compare results. Makes us a 10 goal better side  :lol.

The Saints also lost to Port in a low scoring game which is of interest to us next week. Hudghton gave his teammate Maguire an absolute spray on field. Not happy campers at Moorabbin lol.

Maybe if I took the time to take all the sand out of my eyes then I would not have obstructed vision and really know what my plight is and the path I am going down. Oh no we can't be that crap. I know Collingwood are and Carlton and Richmond have won spoons but not us. Hang on a sec what do we have here? Is that a real turd or just a polly waffle someone irresponsibly left behind? Oh no its a piece of poo. Why is it here and what does it mean? We are Essendon we don't have poo here. Our players are quality and of a high standard and if they had names from the Bible they would be Gods too. What is happening is Rome burning and is Nero playing his fiddle?

I know one player doesn't make up 80 points but Chapman is the player Geelong can least afford to lose. He provides that lift when they need it. He kept the pussies in it against us early when we were on top before blowing us away when they finally gained control of the game. The Cats were flat as a tack last night. You wonder how much playing in the wet conditions affected them. Hopefully it doesn't affect us tonight and we come to play.

As for the Pies, I hate to say it but that's the best they have ever played. Close to 100 tackles wasn't it?!  :o

Bombers giving the Crows a run for their money. Makes our comprehensive win last week look better.

Reckon Burton is in a bit of trouble for charging in and hitting Lonergan (I think it was) high. Tribunal is pretty hot on protecting the player with his head over the ball. Good for us if Burton cops a week.

The Crows just got home but they were pretty ordinary once again. That and the slippery conditions made the game close. Hard to believe they have won 7 games. Shutdown Burton and tag out Porplyzia and Macleod and their scoring dries up. If the tribunal are consistent then we shouldn't have to worry about him anyway.

Might be Carlton and North the way it is panning out. Port is starting to slip away and the fortress that is AAMI stadium is beginning to slowly crumble. Two shattering losses in the wet this year after they gave up a similar lead in the wet against Bris Vegas in Round 4. Expect some fireworks from Chocco post game perhaps something along the lines of Port being the best 4-7 side in the history of football. Fev has the last laugh kicking a goal after the siren to stretch the Cheats win to 12 points.

On the ladder now the Blues are right in it but I still think the gap between the current top 8 and the rest is huge. A bit like 2006? when we finished just below the 8th placed Doggies. The Blues also have 6 of the top 8 sides in the last 7 rounds. They may finish 9th - what a shame lol.

Geez the Cats were awesome tonight. The type of result that could steel them and make them invincible much in the same way it hapenned last year with the thrashing they dished out to us first up. Sure the opposition was awful but to win by 135 points interstate and against a side that had at least 12 or more premiership players from 2 years ago is just phenomenal. Either the Cats were that scary or the Eagles are on the Tank and want to get their percentage on par with the Dees for when they meet later in the year to stake a claim for last place. Nevertheless big big win for the Cats who are now 1 win and % clear of the Hawks who have gone off the boil slightly. Scary thing is the Cats can still improve based on this years evidence. Right now should be premiership favourites on their own.

Hopefully Essendon win tomorrow and we remain 1 game outside the eight and only 2%, as a Carlscumtankcheatstealandlie win leaves 1.5 games out and even a victory against the Filth next week leaves us out of that elusive 8th place.

We were really crap, but our older players won us a few games we finish with 7 wins when we really needed pick 1 and priority picks.

Love it. Remember 4 years ago and even to the present day arguing with Saints supporters at work who were sooooo smug, that they were never going to win the flag b/c as a club all they have done is implode and find ways to fail even when they have talent on the field hence they have heaps on Brownlow Medallists but 1 flag in 112 seasons. Now that premiership window is shut tight locked bolted and has even had a window shutter installed to not let any more light in either. Yet clubs like us may go through very lean times but once we start to get our act together success quickly follows. Yeah scrappy win against Freo much like us in the 2002-04 era topping up.

After last night the Saints now look strong favourites for 8th spot. Their draw is fairly kind after the Hawks next week.

The Blues back to Earth with a thud after just one round lol. They got punished for kicking 2.8 in the first quarter when they should have been 3-4 goals up. Who says goalkicking doesn't matter to the end result or is that only when Richmond does it ::).   

I'm sure too Carlton fans would've been happy seeing Fev all happy, cuddling and putting his arm around Milne and most of the Saints after the Blues had just lost the game that cost them a finals spot and where Fev was one of those who had a shocker :wallywink.

What an idiot fev is.

Hey mt or anyone did you hear ratten today on SEN.
by the sounds of things he is not happy with Fev at all, saying if he wants to leave the CFC for money then basically get stuffed.

I get the feeling Rats wasn't happy with Fev groping those saints players after the game.

If anyone thinks its no big deal just watch newy when the siren went after the blues game.
Fev hugged him and newy didn't want a bar of him. Just shows what a tool fev is..

If Fev wants to hang on to the last minute to squeeze out every $$$ out of Carlton then he better perform. He's been ordinary the last 2 weeks. I hope he does get the big bucks and then Carlton pay for it later salary cap wise with Judd also on a fortune and as their kids start demanding the big bucks too.

Geez Adelaide are in strife. Lost 4 straight and now lost their best two players in one arvo. Burton's done an ACL and Porplyzia with a dislocated shoulder. I wonder if Malthouse will complain about the lack of interchange when the Pies benefited this time from the oppositon being 2 down just after half-time.

The Cats haven't come off unscathed either. Freo went with the "tough" stuff again and Ling and Ablett copped it.

No doubt North have left us for dead onfield over the past 26 years (who hasn't). But in recent years the AFL has been proping the Roos up and that has enabled them to pay their players at 100% of salary cap and remain ultra-competitive thanks to $1.5m CBF charity. Compare that to us who have had to dig ourselves out of a financial hole from the Casey years without any special assistance and in 2005 we were only paying the minimum 92.5% of the salary cap. Our resources haven't been crash hot. We've lacked modern ones too. That's the reason why Miller ended up with too many hats. One man doing the job of many to cut costs. We're only now restoring our finances to the point where we can invest in better resources the club - 21st century training facilities (Punt Rd and Craigieburn developments) plus more and better qualified people in the footy department.

As for North - they have a far more mature list and side yet they won't get anywhere near a flag. Last year they made the finals then got smashed by 15 goals twice in two of them. Very similar to us is 2001. They won't survive long again this year either.

Well good on you MOi, you have been out with footballers. Be Proud Sister. :clapping

Unfortunately Shane Whitnall doesn't count as a footballer
No, he doesn't, but two former Richmond captains do
Oh, and a few others  :thumbsup

Shinboner Spirit I agree. It's a mythical being. For example how can a team lose a final by 106 points win a final then lose a final by 87 yet in the 2nd week Shinboner spirit got them over the line and in week 1 and 3 where was it? If the Roos beat the Swans next week which they won't is that Shinboner spiit that gets them over the line. Roos are a disgrce and characterless footy club. Let the Swans put them out of their misery next week. Shinboner Spirit is about as real as Collingwood Premierships in the last 50 years. :lol

That goes without saying.

knowing that all those pies were glued to the tv set hoping the saints would win by less than 90 makes it all the more sweeter.

enjoy adelaide di.kheads.

that rivals fev getting stuck on 99 as my most memorable moment of the weekend.

agent 99 would have rivaled usain bolt for some of his quickest times in that last quarter all for personal glory. what an absolute loser.

for 21 rounds of the year he never tried as hard as that personal glory failed attempt

There's a fit bit of sooky sooky la la this week. There's Crows fans accusing Essendon of deliberately tanking so St Kilda could get into the top 4 in some Victorian collusion and now they want an AFL inquiry into it  :stupid  :rollin.
