round 22

 My interest is whether freo can play 4 quarters?

Can Geelong take four points away from Sydney?

Even in free fall, essendoping will play finals, unless the afl commission say otherwise.

Are the big improvers, port power secure in the eight?

I thought the Power were set

Mon, 2013-08-19 16:37

I thought the Power were set but just checked the ladder and the Blues can still pip them, provided their percentage is better. Carlton are too hot and cold for that to happen I reckon.

Cats should get up at Skilled. Would make the Dockers job for top two a tad harder.

At least I can count on a crows win this weekend - we've got Melbourne......

Reckon the blues are in with a chance if they play good but my money's on the power at home. (EDIT Opps just realised Power are playing Freo in Perth this week - Freo should win but will be a good match)

Essendon might but better handing over their points this year - they are not going to get far in the finals anyway. Doesn't look like its going to be settled before the finals though.

Cats and Swans looks like it may be the game of the round.

Thu, 2013-08-22 08:14

 tim-o he was advised in a meeting last year against using peptides and enhacers but still went ahead with the programme. There  was always no clear cut opinion on whether they were legal. Hence the charges of bringing the game into disrepute. He should have stood down months ago along with the rest of the board while the investigation went on. The whole comp is fucked up because of it. But I do agree the AFL has handled this verrry poorly along with the media hounds, but that's what you get for being in the public spotlight. He get's paid for it.

On a side note I hear the AFL is toying with a wild card entry for 8th spot next year. 8th,9th and 10th will battle it out for a spot.

still very early days in the essondon saga, i think when you target individuals instead of club you'll always see a more determined accused.

My money says Hirdy will fight this with every last breath in his body, but ultimately he'll be banished from AFL in every sense, aaand probably make a dick of himself along the way..haha

AFL should have acted very early

Thu, 2013-08-22 12:52

I dont understand why the AFL waited so long and dragged this out. The ARL dont stuff around like this. If you breach one of their codes like the Storm did, bang no point for a year. Serve the sentence and then we can all get on with it.

Now the players, fans etc off essendon have no idea what is going to happen. But then I dont believe ignorance is an excuse for the players. If you took a banned substance you are guilty. End of story.

Why would you ever get injected with a substance without knowing exactly what it is baffles me. Anyone in their right mind would refuse.

"Ill just give you a nice injection of Hammer, youll be cool!!!!!"???

Thu, 2013-08-22 19:54

 If they were given advice it wasn't banned (as has been claimed) then there is a grey area that needs to be sorted. Imagine if your boss told you it was ok to do something so you did it then his boss comes along and fires you for it. Would you appeal it or say oh well I should have known better ? 

 

As an essendon member I hope this gets resolved sooner rather than later. I think they should take a hit this year then start fresh next year. It seems its gone way beyond that now though.

 Did any one read dr bruce reid's letter to hird and corcorane in todays west?  No wonder hird denies ever receiving it, because if he ever admitted reading that back then, he'd be gone! Long gone!  Damning stuff.  When your club doctor tells you what you're doing is wrong, is unethical, and the club should be trying to win flags drug free, I reckon only an idiot or a cheat wouldn't listen.  And I dont think hird is an idiot...

Sorry for the long post! Had this emailed to me today

Fri, 2013-08-23 19:56

Subject: FW: My Essendon Lie - By James Hird

My Essendon Lie – By James Hird
(To the tune of American Pie)
[Intro]

A long, long time ago

I can still remember how Shane Charters used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make my players dance

And maybe they'd be stronger for a while

But 2013 made me shiver

With every paper that was delivered

Barratt on my doorstep

I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried

When I read about how they proved I lied

But something touched me deep inside

The day my fiction, died

[Chorus]

So bye-bye, to my Essendon Lie

Took my Bombers to the top, and built up our pride

And my good old boys injectin’ another peptide

Singin' "No-one will ever know that we lied

No-one will ever know that we lied"

[Verse 1]

Did you write the book of push & shove

And do you have faith in Demetriou above

If the AFL tells you so?

Now do you believe in 9604,

And how drugs save your football soul

And can you teach me how to inject real slow?

Well, you know that I was in love with Dank

Since I saw him injectin’ out the back

We both beefed up our tans

To show off to all our fans

I was a lonely rookie coachin' buck

With a Brownlow medal and a million bucks

But I knew I was out of luck

The day they found I lied

[Chorus]

I started singin' bye-bye, to my Essendon Lie

Took my Bombers to the top, but then our hamstrings died

And my good old boys injectin’ another peptide

Singin' "Hope they never find out we lied

Hope they never find out we lied"

[Verse 2]

Now for ten games we've been out on our own

With hidden texts on my mobile phone

But that's not how it used to be

When the rumours came that we weren’t clean

When in truth we were as high as James Dean

“But the drugs came from Dank, not me”

And while me, the king, was counting cash

ASADA found my hidden stash

The courtroom was adjourned

Until the ASADA verdict was returned

And while Sam Newman read a book from FARC

The media stakeout in the park

And we injected in the dark

The day our dreams died

[Chorus]

We were singin' bye-bye, to my Essendon Lie

Took my Bombers to the top, but no-one knew why

And my good old boys injectin’ another peptide

Singin' "Do you think that the media has spied?

Do you think that the media has spied?"

[Verse 3]

Helter skelter in a winter swelter

The wheels fell off in another belter

Eighth place now and falling fast

Another player lying on the grass

A hamstring sprung trying a short pass

Another player on the sidelines in a cast

Now the premiership air is sweet perfume

While Meatloaf sings an awful tune

We’d all love the September dance

Oh, but we’ll never get the chance

'Cause if the players try to take the field

Will ASADA refuse to yield?

Will we ever really know what was revealed

The day my dream died?

[Chorus]

We were singin' bye-bye, to my Essendon Lie

Took my Bombers to the top, but then David Evans cried

And my good old boys injectin’ another peptide

Singin' "ASADA’s looking and I’d better go hide

ASADA’s looking and I’d better go hide."

Oh, and there we were all in one place

An entire season lost in space

With no chance left to start again

So come on, Jobe be nimble, Jobe be quick

Watson sat “On the Couch” real quick

('Cause Roosy is the Demon’s only friend)

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in Hell

Could break that Roosy spell

And as the ratings climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Roosy laughing with delight

That’s when, they knew, I lied

He was singin' bye-bye, to my Essendon Lie

Took my Bombers to the top, but our success was a lie

And my good old boys injectin’ another peptide

Singin' "Now our premiership dreams are fried

Now our premiership dreams are fried "

I asked my girl who hates the Blues

And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the AFL store

Where they all loved me years before

But the man there said that finals, we wouldn't play

And in Bay 13, the Bombers screamed

The Magpies cried and the Hawks all dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The servers all were broken

And the three men I admire most

The Demetriou, The Dank and the Charters Ghost

They caught the last train for the coast

The day they’d found I’d lied

And they were singin' bye-bye, to my Essendon Lie

Took my Bombers to the top, but then our hamstrings died

And my good old boys injectin’ another peptide

Singin' "I can’t believe they found out we lied

About ever having seen a peptide”

[Chorus]

They were singin' bye-bye, to my Essendon Lie

Took my Bombers to the top, but then our hamstrings died

And my good old boys injectin’ another peptide

Singin' "I can’t believe they found out we lied”

Answer: no, they just change to the history channel and bask in past glories!

Sat, 2013-08-24 22:59

 Neither wa team has an easy draw...  we both travel every second week...  unlike the melbourne clubs that play the majority of their games without getting in a plane.  The draw is the draw.  Its never going to be even until we play more home and away games, lesss preseason and less finals and play each other twice.  

 

Bottom line is the Freo gets slammed for being too defensive.  Well the proof is that they're not.

 I dont think your so called big boys will be treating the fremantle football club as easybeats.  Watch out if they do.  Great defense,  big strong athletic midfielders, speed on the outside, potent goal kickers.  Thats what we're bringing to the finals.  Abd most of all, we're bringing passion and hunger.

 Hey Randall it's reeeeeally borrrrrrring that you have to bring the Eagles into your arguments just to show that your side isn't as crap as it really is. And hey guess what I've had a few 101's  and can still type lol

 I apologize if I bore you.

Sun, 2013-08-25 07:59

 I apologize if I bore you.  After 19 years of putting up with boring statements about how crap fremantle have been I am really ready to dish some back.  And you guys are just going to have to suck it up.  I am sure you know the old saying, "you're only as good as your last game"? Well guess what,  based on that, Freo are very very good, and West Coast aren't.  

 

The day is fast approaching that Fremantle will lead the derby count AND have more flags than West Coast, so your supporters will need to find some new material.

 

I'm loving the 2013 footy season, and am going to love September.

Just work on winning the first one Randall.

BTW, Ross 'Freo's greatest coach ever' Lyon has never coached a team to a flag, even with a good side based in Melbourne.

 Oooooh I'm hungover, did I really say that last night? Yep I obviosly did 

But you keep dreming Randall as it hasn't happened yet. This is the first year I'll actually admit Freo look like having any chance at all of anything. But I'll never support them as I've got a long memory of the unsupportive crap from the feral Dorker supporters when we won our last flag. Don't have to tell me how to suck it up we've had plenty of dissapointment too but with good success thrown in.

Sun, 2013-08-25 09:46

 Were they a good side? Or an average side well coached.  I think you should be more concerned for the hard years your team has ahead of it. No small forwards.  A small slow midfield.  A defence that almost completely relies upon an aging champion and after he goes there aint much.  Todays paper suggests the toasters are looking at trading for a player that can't even get a game in a bottom eight team!  Now thats progress!  I would suggest its time to rebuild and rethink for you guys, starting with the coach.

 

freo, we're in good shape.  Shown we can win without our superstars, our midfield has a few years together, fyfe is only 22.  Hill about the same.  Real quality coming thru in crozier, sutcliffe, sheridan. Quality smalls, a defence that can strangle offensive teams even without three of its best playing.

 

rather be in our position than yours.

 

;p

SK were a very good team and many say were unlucky

Sun, 2013-08-25 10:01

Fremantle are recognised by nearly everyone [ except probably you BJ and Andy and Unc ] as much better than Saint Kilda at the second year of Lyons coaching them.  Go Freo if they don't win the big one this year watch out 2014. Doves favs for 2014 spoon ? [sorry Andy]

Finals Footy

Sun, 2013-08-25 10:37

Finals footy is a lot about luck.

Are you fully fit, is your opposition fully fit, are you in form, is your opposition in form, has your opposition played above itself to get where it is OR are you playing a real quality finals hardened team, do you get a bad injury early in the final, does your opposition get a bad injury, which way does the ball bounce in a tight finish and so on.

Lots of things in your control but also lots out of it, that's why any team is a chance of beating the other on any given day.

Who are your preferred opponents Randall and OW?

 I rate geelong on present

Sun, 2013-08-25 12:13

 I rate geelong on present form. Looks like we will play them first up and over east.  After that game everyone will know exactly if freo are the goods or not.  If we can win that one well the world us our oyster.   Hawks are looking vulnerable.   Sydney questiobable.  Pies are coming good.   Tigers probably dobt remember what a final is.  Essendoping wont be there and port and carlton dont match up to us.  Geelong is the big danger.  Knock them over first up.

 Sea-kem you have a short memory. BooCoast Wee Girls supporters getting labled the worst in the country And he would not take his family to a game.....Freo are feral...Who booed Hawkins getting strechered off the ground and its the same idiots that boo Chris Judd too...WCE supporters get too wrapped in thinking they are all in the 'Chardonay Set' when the truth is very few in WA are.....

 Yeah they get labeled that but are they really?? Because we boo, so what suck it up. And really who are the chardonnay set? The knobs who can afford a corporate box?? plenty of that set in other clubs too mate. I personally don't boo when I get the opportunity of going to a game. And my ass is always planted till the end. I just like watching footy.

Exactly BJ its the personal thats available for you on the day

Sun, 2013-08-25 12:48

This is all important in the big games IMO and thats why unfortunately Freo will battle.

The teams above us have near on full lists available Fremantle have not. 5 or 6 A grade boys not there or under done for big games.

Don't tell tim-o but IMO the Hawks with stuff all injuries look the team you would not want to meet over there.

Geelong or Sydney yeah we are a fair chance.

Richmond seem to all but have our measure dunno why.

Your mob bring them em on, other teams no probs.
