I think I'll just sit over here in the corner.

No need for that, you're a good man, life would be pretty boring if we all always agreed on every single topic.

Are you standing in the corner or peeing in the corner?

HAHAHAHA... hadn't even thought of that when I saw that pic! Uh... I'd like to say "standing" but it's not factually accurate. And peeing on the wall is a bit Fev-like.

Re: Club Song Circle

AP6 - Are you suggesting it was staged, as a presentation for the media?

I don't buy the round 17 argument, it was because we performed so well after a week in which one of our players was sacked, otherwise we may have belted out the song having re-entered the top 4 but not with all and sundry in the circle.

If it were simply a natural and spur of the moment celebration, I have no issue with it, the players and club officials are entitled to express their elation and unity after such a stressful week. However, if this was pre-meditated, then maybe you have a point in us continuing to make everything about Aker, and turning an on-field result into just another weapon in our anti-Aker media campaign arsenal

Not really, just that it was a bit over-the-top. But, as is obvious, that's just me I don't know if it was a 'dig' at Aker, just hope it wasn't - I'd hope we're above,past and over that.

Re: Club Song Circle

Anybody see Aker in there

Who? Never heard of him! Sure we'll get some comment tomorrow on that station that has about 5 listeners.

Reading some of the other comments in this thread, I think you are far from alone in suspecting that this was about sticking it to Aker. And, reading between the lines, I think that is why you have an issue with it. You have been one of the posters to stand behind our 2 controversial recruits in BBBH & Aker, and with good reason as the club knew what they were getting into and all we have seen from them is a provoked headlock and some verbal diarrhoea.

It would be interesting to hear from BornInDroopSt or RawToast on the group psychology involved in the Aker sacking, including the reaction today in putting in a performance that Eade described as not something we would be able to produce every week, followed by the song with everyone in the club involved

Re: Club Song Circle

I think it was good. Doesn't do any harm and the boys would've been pretty pumped after that performance. I think it's a good way of saying that everyone had a part to play in this victory, and everyone has a part to play in the next few weeks hopefully getting us to top 4, and then deep into the finals.

Of course it was probably done now because of the Aker element - but I think it was important internally. While Smorgan said the vote to out Aker was unanimous, he would've had some friends who probably felt a little out in the cold this week - this was a great way of saying "we're all in this together" and sharing in the glory of our best performance this year, as a team.

Wouldn't expect to see that again until the last Saturday in September though, with a nice piece of silverwear in the middle!

Heh. That's a coincidents. Aker was doing the sane thing during the game.

Re: Club Song Circle

We have never been in the top 4 on the back of such an emphatic win. Celebrate it!
It's gooooood to be top four. Anyone still suffering from bitten nails after the Hawthorn loss? Well, now you can do a little dance. Reason enough to get all the masseurs and boot strappers and orange boys together to sing the song IMO.

All the commentators, Gleeson etc dancing on Akers' grave are a bit tiresome IMO.

Re: Club Song Circle

Interesting that is what I wanted to see after all that has happened this week with Aker. Yes I did say for them to do it as they were coming off.
And to think DFA4PM thought it was so corny it was vomit material.
I was not that far off the mark buddy!

At least get the quote right mate. I said I thought "coming off the ground arm in arm" was cringe worthy. Never let the truth get in the way of a backstab I guess.

Re: Club Song Circle

I think the team answered this week's events on the field emphatically and I was so pleased and proud to be there. The "big" circle I also saw before leaving the ground, and I thought it was just another show of unity after a pretty trying week for all concerned with the dogs! Well done Dogs, you did us proud yesterday..........now let's keep the momentum going as we play ourselves into even better form for the finals.

Re: Club Song Circle

After the week they've had I think they're entitled to celebrate such an emphatic win. FFS give them a break.

Re: Club Song Circle

I thought it was the whole club giving the finger to aker and saying stick that up your arse.

Some of our more vocal supporters, heard to be telling Aker something similar yesterday

Re: Club Song Circle

I loved it after such a great win it was wonderful to watch and to sing along as I was really pumped myself had to laugh when i was told later that Rohan Smith even got in there.
