The Official footy finals thread 2011

So the other thread is getting too big to navigate through so here is one for the finals...
 

This is how i see it going down,

 

Geelong to beat Hawks, Coll to beat West, Saints to beat Swans, Ess to beat Carlton

 

West to beat Ess, Hawks to beat Saints

 

Geelong to beat West, Hawks to beat Coll

 

Geelong to beat Hawks in the granny, it will be a cracker though!!

 Is that so that people don't see the bias crap you have posted over this season? LOL Still a bit shakey after the weekend? The yellow and blue are not done yet mister. We have a couple of chances and it's been done before (by the Yellow and the Blue). Go the mighty Eagles. Good luck guys

Sun, 2011-09-04 22:01

Your the one with the masters is shite dribbling Vince. When you can't handle it, you come out with the wankers, fuckwits etc personal attacks.

As for bias, lol, how's the shite you dribble about land rovers. Go Pies.

 Considering you know fuck all about me. My post above was hardly a perosnal atack at all. Just some banter following an earlier exchange where I was attacked. If my football opinion is considered shite dribbling John then stiff shit mate. As for driving a Land Rover mate I do because I can. That has fuck all to do with you and again, my posts are mainly friendly banter between mates. If you take exception to me driving a Land Rover  then I feel sad for you mate.

Personal attacks

Mon, 2011-09-05 10:22

Vince, I've just read the whole thread again, and as far as i can tell the only one personally attacking the "wankers/sad sad fucks" (your words) is yourself.

http://fishwrecked.com/forum/official-footy-thread-2011

It was only from your 'passionate' input that things degenerated somewhat.

Cheers John

Selective interpretations John

Mon, 2011-09-05 10:33

 Sure I did say that following a barrage of very poor input by some people who I don't consider really have anything of substance to offer. I do acknowledge some degree of annoyance and I will be a little more selective in how I respond. This has been (or the season thread) a long one with plenty of rubbishing from many. Why target me? Becaause I drive a Land Rover????

Horse

Mon, 2011-09-05 10:44

Just something about high horse riders I guess. No problem with banter, just not interested in the narky stuff, maybe it comes from listening to it all day while I'm teaching high school kids.

We'll agree to disagree, but I'm pretty comfortable sitting with the cultured people in the Pies members with Uncle.

Back to the real stuff, Pies by 10 goals this week, the rest are speed bumps on the way to October glory.

High Horse Riders

Mon, 2011-09-05 12:10

 WTF.

And cultured people?? Get off your horse now Pancho. The intimation is also there that you are sick of listening to school kids. If that's the case give up your job mate. Your name signifies bigness and a desire to dictate. I must retreat.

Eagles will give their all. If we don't get over the line I am not sure the team we play after that will be too happy travelling to Perth

Eagles will win the second week quite easily I reckon, and they will go alright in the prelim but fall short.

It's the first week when they will find all about what finals footy is really like.

Did disappointed you didn't swear at me though Vince, you do drink chardonnay though dont you?

Finals footy - feeling about what it's about

Mon, 2011-09-05 13:47

 Funny as.. It's only been the last few years we haven't been there and we have a number of good contributing verterans and managers etc who know all too well what it's about. The Eagles will be and are ready. No excuses from me mate. We are either good enough or we are not.

Sorry for being cooth John (or however you spell it in cultureville). I don't drink chardonnay actually. It's crap and gives me gastric reflux. Chenin is my drop but mainly a good Shiraz will get things underway.

I think he was talking about Dale, who is known as a dire hard Docker supp (I was going to edit that, but in the Dockers probably needed Dale on the bench).

Vince belong to the other tide (side), whether its high or low who gives a rats but poles apart. Passionate about their team. Vince has a very short fuse about issues but thats fair, and this one I dont read directed at you.

Im clearly Eagles, but Dockers second favourite by miles. So happy as hell with a little loss felt.

Hard to predict so far I think. All depends on who wins Pies vs Eagles. If and I say if the Eagles can get over the Pies, Then I see them in the GF, second to Geelong. If not I think they will win the home final, but this year go out in the second last week of the season.

In my dreams Premiership, but even the craziest Eagles supporter would think that is very unrealistic. In rebuilding I would have been happy with middle of the field, delighted with in the 8, and amazed at their position at the start of the year.

On a forum like this it is a little fun to bag each other (Mmmm wonder what a Vic based fishing forum footy thread would read like???) and I am sure if the Eagles loose then there will be a few calling them weegirls, losers etc, but that is one thing you cant call any team that climbed from woodies to 4th in a season. Well done boys and good luck. Dockers -- find some secret and I will be chearing for you in the finals soon but shit man I am getting old and times running out!!!!!

Sun, 2011-09-04 23:00

aha, cheers for clearing that up crasny. I was just wondering what I said, all good either way :) 

Victorians are giving the eagles a huge chance, especially after last friday night!! I think that any Victorian who isnt a pies supporter will be barracking hard for them on saturday (Im one, haha). If they can get over the pies i would think they'll make the GF, no team will be wanting to go over to perth for a prelim thats for sure.

Cant wait for this finals series, there are 3 teams that have a huge chance (coll, cats, hawks) and two roughies (west coast, saints) that can win it i reckon.

Bombers are too young, carlton dont have a strong enough forward line and are too short down back, and although they give 100% everytime they play I dont think sydney can go all the way (unless goodes gets 45 touches 4 weeks in a row)

Sorry if you misconstrued anything Patty

Mon, 2011-09-05 10:10

 Thanks for your clarification Cransy. My crack above was banter aimed at uncle following a barrage of pies rantnig and much ridiculing of the Eagles. Why wouldn't I give a bit back after a 90 odd point flogging on the weakend? One thing that is for sure is that I wil never deliberately personally attack anyone on here. I think my friends will vouch for that. I will however give back where people openly attack me. I have some very strong opinions on some matters as I should have at my age. I have a passion for my football team as well and will continue to support them here.

Cheers, and again, sorry about the confusion here.

 I never saw it as an attack. I did however warn you that I would remember your comments and give you shit back if and when the pies stumbled LOL. I am still not that old that I don't remember and please, I have already had a heart attack and understand the need to remain calm. Look out for incoming if the pies fall in a heap. I expect the same from you if we can't progress LOL

Interesting the Vics give them a chance

Sun, 2011-09-04 23:31

Must be because you are either a Pies supporter, or hate them. I would think a prelim in Perth would scare the shiite out of any team including the top 3. I just cant bring myself to ever wish either the Pies or Hawthorn ( I was and still have a favourite Vic Team -- Bombers, and memories of the late 80s, early nineties when they beat up on the fledgling Eagles and Bombers, and every Hawks fan going berko was enough for me, ie Pies on bottom, Hawks very very close) a flag. The thought of them playing in a GF will have me in Depression. Damn I havent looked to see if that is a possibility?? Someone enlighten me as I am sitting here with a nasty back pain, being shocked by a TENS machine and waiting for some painkillers to kick in.

So I go Cats.

That comment sums up a collingwood supporter - Not all there! 

"every following game" ???

If the pies had won every following game after losing in the last round wouldn't they have won the last four premierships???

$1.15 for pies?  That is cheap.  Last time I paid over $4.00.

Those egirls you guys keep going on about are hot!  I was at the footy Sat night and those pom poms getting shaken around were awesome!  Definately recommend going to an Eagles home game no matter who you barrack for!

Should be close!

Tue, 2011-09-06 15:15

Cox should have 8/9 from first 3 rounds. And Priddis will get the 1s and 2s.

I'm doing a spreadsheet (like I do every year) and go game by game and check who I think may get the votes etc. I am about half way through compiling it and it is pretty neck and neck between the 2.

If I remember correctly I think Priddis polled 13 votes in a team that got the spoon last year so the umpires look to him when throwing around votes so he should be going ok come round 24.

I would much rather put in Fyfe to get the dockers (at this point of my calcs) but not sure what value you may get.

 

Cheers

I have tickets to Carlton v Essendon on Sunday - should be a cracker.  I have a bad feeling about it but I certainly hope and think we can beat the bombers.  Then it would be good if we could play the Eagles next but I doubt they will topple the pies.  They have something to prove after last week.

Dyspn Heppell a very deserving winner of the rising star, kid is going to be a gun!! Shuey would have been a fitting winner as well, maybe Essendon can offer the eagles a trade for Gumbleton haha.

Wed, 2011-09-07 20:40

I think Heppell will be a good player but I think Shuey should have won.  I'm not saying this because I am an Eagles fan.  I think he had more influence on the games he played in than Heppell.  Shuey plays in the midfield where he gets a lot of his own ball and he kicks goals as well.  Heppell won a lot of the footy floating free in the back line.  At least that's what I thought in the games I saw him play.

I think there will always be a bias towards Eastern States players in a situation like this.  Whether that played a role in the decision, I guess we'll never know.  Either way, it will be good to see how they both go over the next few years???  It will also be interesting to see how well they perform in the finals?

If I wasn't so busy at work, I would have flown over for the Eagles game.  I've never been to a final.  Maybe next year?

That's no good Andy, hope it wasn't due to anything too serious.

I remember going to the final at the Waca when the Eagles beat us by two points. Lasting memory is resisting the urge to pound some drunk Eagles fans who were gleefully shouting how they had f...ing smashed us on the field. Gotta love footy!

Good omen here uncle. Put on death throw by a desperate minority after a poor performance, only to swoop again and again. Go Pies!

pity about the injuries, maybe hawks should have played their stars last week? some of their players without finals exp were found wanting,as was Ceril, story of todays game I hope, I'll stick with the favourites.

pretty good win by the cats

Sat, 2011-09-10 10:36

pretty good win by the cats last night. I think they must be leading the way as the team to beat now.

No buddy not a good sign for the hawks. you could say if roughhead  was playing then maybe they can scrape through, but i think by the end of next weekend  they be enjoyin a few beers. season over out in straight sets. Sorry Matt.

 

Anyway gotta get preped to watch the big game.

COME ON WEST COAST.............

After seeing shuey play in

Sat, 2011-09-10 13:59

After seeing shuey play in the first half I think I would take Heppell for rising star everyday of the week. NO awareness at all, bad body language... does he realise he's playing in a final?? Not to mention he's 3 years older than Heppell...

In anycase.. CMON EAGLES!!

You've gotta admit they took it up to you today Carnarvonite. There were some worried faces for a while through the game and they could have stolen it. Top effort today. They won't win the flag but lookout next year as they are a young side on the march.

The rising star hasn't played yet- wait n see. Shuey had a 'Barry Crocker' but the eagles didn't get pumped. We have Kerr, Rosa to comeback plus Nico and Shuey had their worst games of the season combined with cox injured.

 

All points to the Pies not being that good- I think there are going to be some very moist pussy's on GF night!
