Round 4 Discussion

Re: Round 4 Discussion

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

Yes we were better than Essendon in 2000 and Geelong in 2007 as well cos we beat them those years too. Most memebership are sold pre-season before the round 1 game anyway. Essendon have a membership record this season. If they are missing members from last year it got more to do the clubs treatment of Knights and the dishonesty of the club/Hird and Thompson than disloyal fans.

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

He started copping it when fans like yourself need a scapegoat. The 10 years and 200 games tells you he isn't as bad as many think.

Incoherent.

You mentioned Gia, not me? Seriously have a look at yourself.

So you are now denying you are one of his boo boys?

I suppose its easier for you to claim ignorance than say you might be wrong.

Re: Round 4 Discussion

Perhaps Carlton fans might still be pining for that fat bloke with the gambling problem who is struggling to get a kick with his mates in the outer eastern suburbs.

From memory there was quite a lengthy queue lining up to pot the Dogs for not selecting Henderson at pick 5 in the 2007 ND. Queue not so long now.

Gia's neither my favourite nor my least liked.

You saying that, that's funny.

Now have the last word and we'll move on.

No doubt that's the crux of the issue. When he was thrown in as the steak knives in the Fevola deal the Carlton supporters looked at his height, weight, the number he was drafted at, and decided he was a like for like replacement. When reality set in their resent toward him has overflowed.

To see Essendon supporters defending a Carlton player was a strange sight, they even took a breath from their umpire bashing to do it.

I don't.

Well like Chops, what gets tedious is people bagging Gia.

Re: Round 4 Discussion

For anyone who watched the Freo game on the weekend, how did they go clearance-wise?

Only ask as we've been terrible this year and is an area we need to focus on. If Freo were on fire we could be in some trouble.

I havent seen the stats but North were really good in the clearances for majority of the game. Swallow and co seemed to be reading it off Sandilands really well.

However when Pavlich went into the guts he just dominated the centre clearances. Especially in the 3rd quarter. We really need a strong body to be with him at the stoppages when his in the middle.

North had the better of play in general IMO, just seemed to really fall down around half forward. Whereas Freo's forward line was contantly open and looking dangerous.

We'll bring in Big Will as a tagger, that will sort Pav out.
