Re: Official Grand Final discussion thread
Here is how one scribe rated Tippet out of 10 today..
Kurt Tippett - 3
Was used as a stepladder in the third quarter by Brian Lake, who managed to take a terrific mark on his shoulders. Was caught out by Rioli who twice stole the ball off him and delivered to Roughead for a pair of goals. Struggled against Lake and went into the ruck to find the ball. While he won plenty of contested possessions, it wasn't his best game.
Weak effort for a dude so highly paid, his skills if he doesn't mark the ball are woeful....

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Official Grand Final discussion thread
Well that's the ELEVENTH Hawthorn premiership I have had the "pleasure" of watching.
But at least those PARASITES were put back in their box.
Stuff you PARASITES!
Despite all your handouts.
The Buddy salary cap fiasco.
The Tippet salary cap fiasco.
The untouchable whinger "Token" of the Year.
You still got SMASHED!
CHOKE ON YOUR OWN VOMIT YOU PARASITES!

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Ok, as with my assessment of Big Ben's game (as pointed out by Pluggs )...Dave McNamara wrote:Oh, whilst still agreeing with SP and Dragstar re the whole 'null' thing re any Swine's $900K-induced flags, I actually reckon their current team is overrated.
The Skidmarks had the much tougher opponent last week, whereas Nuff Nuff made the Swines look artificially (pun intended) better. Also, Buddy the Ego actually has a fairly ordinary GF record. And Tippet is simply... overrated and under-performed IMHO.
I'm tipping the Skidmarks by around five goals.
I got this call half-right.
It's Dave, man. Will you open up? I got the stuff with me! -------Who?

Big Robot but slightly unco. Does everything in a mechanical way. Like he was produced in a factory - but they couldnt really get all the human movements and traits right. Not a patch on Roughead as a footballer.

Re: Official Grand Final discussion thread
Perhaps if they had brought Dangerfield, Beams and Frawley on at half time (under a special emergency AFL rule) they might have worked their way back in to the game.

Cant possibly agree. Presented himself very well and was in the best 5 or 6 for them. .Stats very good for a tall forward. Negative 3 means that person is making a mockery of the assessment.

Your COLA buddies were collectively CRAP plugger.
Didn't you see the glum looks on Gilligan and Mike FitzSydney's faces at the end of the game?
Poor buggers need a bigger cap.

I know you are joking, however, the thought of who will they steal next, was in my head. Look for the new signings.Enrico_Misso wrote:Perhaps if they had brought Dangerfield, Beams and Frawley on at half time (under a special emergency AFL rule) they might have worked their way back in to the game.
Mitch Clarke may decide that Bondi is good for his mind
Beams may decide that Sydney is closer to queensland so will do too
Dangerfield, prob not this year but next
Frawley, likes to surf I believe, nice beaches in sydney

COLA buddies. SP you are really struggling. Franklin was the Swans best player and IMO I thought Tippett played well. By the way strange one I was barracking for the Hawks. And to that BJ wont leave dude, I mentioned Tippett before others disagreed with me but that would go over your head looking at some of things you post. It would be a bit hard to comprehend.
