Still giving us nothing...'cept Cups and Medals

To those idiot journos claiming we haven't played anyone yet (and I know you're reading this) ...

Read the ladder upwards ... yes we have played the bottom two sides.
But we haven't played ANY of the next four, and two of them we get to play twice.
That's just about six more guaranteed wins. 13 in all. Finals already.
We no longer aim for finals, only premierships.

Good times :cutelaugh

In previous seasons if round 9 came around with the top 2 teams clashing, both with only one loss, both two games clear of third, one being reigning premier, it would be pumped up as the match of the season, cancel all appointments, compulsive viewing.

Looking forward to reading and hearing all the media hype heading into our game on Sunday.
There will be some hype, but its over there in the west and its on the Sunday twilight slot. To be fair, not many had Wet Toast anywhere near the top 8 when they did the draw.
 
It never stops with Collingwood.
Again on sen1116, 'Rotten luck they have injuries'. When don't they have been injuries? Half of them get injured pulling up their socks
 
Andy Maher was saying today that Richmond wouldn’t hold a candle to the great Brisbane sides, Hawthorne sides or Geelong sides that won 3 in a row.

So *smile* what, don’t hear anyone claiming we’re the best side to ever win a granny. Why is this even being brought up by these *smile* wits. Why does it even matter.

They’re all just jealous as *smile* that we’re a power house again, and they’ll say anything to try and discredit us.

The *smile* wits can all go and suck on lemons for the rest of the year because this is happening

It’s an obvious statement and yes those sides on paper are at the moment define more credentialed, however I don’t think any of those great sides played any better as a team.

Andy Maher :hihi
 
Pfft... the Hawthorn sides were extremely lucky. Three preliminary finals all won by under a kick where they received the rub of the green on each occasion. And won during a time when other sides like us were hamstrung by the compromised drafts.

And they make it worse by signing a crock like Wells.

Here them mentioning how the previous premiers (outside of the hawks n cats) where no where near as good as those premiers?

No me neither.
 
Not sure we wouldn’t match up.

Rance - GOAT
Martin - Won every award there was to win last year.
Chimp - Already 1 Brownlow to his name and a Premiership Captain
Jack - Dual Colman medalist

Thats the cream.

As a defensive unit, what team can beat our current one (honest question, if anyone can think of a more complete defensive unit please shout)

Caddy, Prestia, Edwards all A Graders
Everyone else would be B to B+ with the exception of our small forward filling in for Rioli at the moment.

I reckon we’d match up fine.

Haters gonna hate.

Btw, what are the chances that the Tigers win more games than Carlton, Essendon and Collingwood combined this year?

It is 7-all after round 8!

Agree. Hawthorn were a great side but they had a charmed run. Brisbane are way ahead IMO, but we may yet be as good. The use of the expression 'hold a candle' is annoying. we'd hold a candle all day. Maher has become a king sized goose in my book.

Obviously has a bee in his bonnet. Will say something next time I see him.

How does the current Carlton side compare with Pagan’s post-paper-bags assortment of flotsam and jetsam?

Andrew Motormouth is sooking coz the 2 Cartoon teams are near wooden spoon position.
 
I used to get pissed about what these "journos" were saying about us, then i realised its people like Maher and Gobbo.
They got NFI in the first place. Not worth wasting the energy on
