Round 4 Discussion

Re: Round 4 Discussion

Just makes the claims by some people that Bulldog supporters are the most disloyal in the league even more rediculous.

Did either club have 8000+ members not sign from last year, even though they are both worse than us?
Also bagging Henderson 2nd year at Carlton 50 game veteran compared to Gia 10+ year 200 game is very different.

Re: Round 4 Discussion

Henderson is more in the Stack class of supporters hatred.

Carlton supporters have miles to go before they get to the Gia/Eagle/Ben Harrison/Streeta/Rawlings level.

Essendon have 10,000 members this year that didn't sign up last year. 55 points suggests they're not worse than us.

10 year, 200 game veteran?? Did he only start copping it this year??

In 20 years I've never heard anything at a Bulldog game that resembled anything like yesterday, they're not even close to comparable.

You clearly weren't there yesterday, the abuse for Henderson makes anything Eagleton ever copped look like light hearted ribbing.

Fair enough. The abuse I heard from Rawlings was the worst I can ever imagine...disappointing to hear the Carlton fans are going down the same track.

I'll have to take your word for it.

The guys behind me in the Bulldogs members area awful, each week I have to put up with them and I wonder why they keep buying their memberships. Last game they cheered when Gia went off after he took a knock to the head. I've had a go at them once last year but have bit my tongue ever since. I think I'll just request to be moved somewhere else in 2012 or even this year if I can. I don't want to sit near the scum much longer.

Out of interest, what happened when you had a dig at them?

Every crowd has their flogs, some are just awful, the difference yesterday was it was 30,000 in unison. The only way I could describe it would be like the best player from an opposition team being dragged with 10 mins to go because he'd been awful and they were getting flogged at Football Park, except this was his own supporters.

Not much really. The day I did bite back was after they were bagging Gia in the first quarter of the Saints game and was was playing quite well. It helped he put through a goal about 40 out shortly after and I asked him if that was good enough. His reply was it was a "soft ball get" One quietened down for the rest of the season but after that he just started yelling stuff like Gia is my favourite player and other smart arse comments similar if he made a mistake. This season it's back to square one.

Gia cops the brunt of it but Williams, Hill, Stack and our team in general cop a fair spray each match from these idiots. Fortunately I have a few weeks at away games so I don't have to put up with them.

That sounds really bad. Unfortunately Henderson has a lot to live up to, you think they would back off a little though because of what Fev has turned into.

Re: Round 4 Discussion

Well, good on you G-mo77.

Look, I understand a hearty rally cry ( 'Get up Higgins!, for example ) ' to our own, but calles of / weak / wanker or worse always make me furious.

I wonder what would happen if Gia stepped over the fence and stood directly in front of any of these types. Am almost certain they would not utter a word. It's pretty weak to say something to someone from the protection of a boundary you wouldn't to their face IMO.

Re: Round 4 Discussion

Anyway getting back on topic
Freo smashing Norf right now (shame that) Freo well lead by the Pav and the angry ant (Ballantyne) Impressed with Fyfe (future star) Hill's useage is brilliant.The amount of poor ball use from North is a standout. Dogs on song should beat Freo .
Refused to watch the GC game,if Seven can't be arsed showing it live then why bother!
The Storm game was enjoyable. Shit form Seven

GC showed a bit early, but the Dees took hold and kicked the intestines out of them.

Re: Round 4 Discussion

Freo's Nick Suban broke his leg today vs Norf.

Re: Round 4 Discussion

I went along to the Carlton vs Essendon today, quite an entertaining game. The one thing that really stood out to me was the treatment of Lachlan Henderson by the Carlton fans, they gave him the Bronx cheer in just the second quarter when he took his first mark, then proceeded to boo him all day, then finally in the 3rd quarter when it was announced over the speaker that he had been subbed the Carlton supporters went up as one in celebration. It was disgraceful, even the Essendon fans were disgusted.

Just makes the claims by some people that Bulldog supporters are the most disloyal in the league even more rediculous.

Did they give it to Andrew Collins? he was clearly the worst player on the groud. I don't think I've seen anyone have a bigger mare than Collins?

Yeah he copped it from individuals in the crowd, the usual mindless stuff, no collective effort for him though.
