Re: The casual boast thread
I remember that flog making that comment and also when addressing Chris Grant: "Only Carlton people call me Jack." Chris would have been quite within his rights to reply, "There's a lot of names I could call you - arsehole, figjam, tosser - take your pick."[URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]

9. We best three recent Grand Finalists
10. We beat North by the highest margin ever
11. We have the highest score this season (167 points)
12. We have the lowest score conceded this season (39 points)
13. We have the full forward with the most goals in a game (Bruce with 10)
14. Our recent trades are transformational (Bookends Bruce & Keath, Martin ruck)
15. Treloar is a revelation (1/3 salary paid by Collingwood for 5 years - looks like Pick 30’s or 40’s this year as the cost)
16. Jamarra (Pick 1) & Schache (Pick 2) are kicking bags in the VFL
17. Our depth is the best of any club
18. We still have a first rounder and apparently some salary cap room
19. We are showing AFEL & Ch7 why they are right to give us TV games
20. We have good players out, returning soon: Richards, McLean, Williams, Hannan (Dunkley & English ?) etc.
21. We’ve debuted Treloar, Martin, Scott, McNeil, Sweet. Expect more too (Buku, Jamarra, Hannan etc.)
22. We’ve won on the fast track of Docklands, wind of Ballarat & cold of Canberra. We are no flat/fast track bullies.
23. We’ve moved players around (Dale back, English & Hunter more forward)
24. We have mids hitting the scoreboard regularly (Bonts, Treloar, Libba, Dunkley etc.)
25. ... We still have improvement in our game and in individual players
26. ... It’s fun to be us!Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: The casual boast thread
These are facts. Nothing more.
The media allege soft draws, not beaten anyone any good, question if we can win away from docklands, what are we really doing, ya da ya da ya da.
These facts seem to indicate that these questions have been answered.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment
