See here’s the problem BV.

You and your glass half full, Bolton loving mates are constantly gilding the lily and just making shit up.

How the @#$%&! can anyone take any of you and your mob’s pronouncements seriously when you can make such glaring factual errors?

Not only do you class Charlie Curnow as a key position player despite the fact that he’s actually a back pocket who’s taller than Jonathan Brown but then in this post you go on to say that we lost to Port by 14 points!

IT WAS 16 @#$%&! POINTS!

16!

NOT 14!

NOT EVEN CLOSE!

CLOSE WOULD BE 15!

ARE YOU INTENTIONALLY @#$%&! WITH US?

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!

When Malthouse or Bolton do the recruiting, get back to us. Until then, those posts are toilet paper in this thread.

Its not the same as what uncle zed posted. Your quote has nothing to do with what I queried. Anyway, How many wins and losses have other teams nominated this season? None no one has. Why should they "bother playing games" then?

Thats not what you said at all. Re-read the bolded part of your quote I was addressing. So again where is your proof that is fact?

Unless you pencilled us to win one or both of our first two games before the season started, what the f$$% has changed?

So when it suits your argument, you like to have it validated by the 'scribes' but when it doesn't, you dismiss it

Hypocrite!!!

Midway through the 2nd qtr of round 1, the score was Richmond 40 Carlton 1.

I didn't expect that.

What's your point?
Last time I checked, the game is decided by the scores after 4 quarters

'Intimated' is pretty broad in its concept. It's in the eye of the beholder.
How many other teams have said they won't be measured by wins and losses? None.
That matters not.
Like it or not, the teams are measured by wins and losses. Check the ladder. It's how the finals are decided, how the draft is decided and how the fixture is decided. Wins and losses. Nothing else matters.

Not even worth responding because you are deliberately evading my point. How highly do you rate GCs list? Would your bullish views on the rate of our development change if we lost to them?

In saying all this, Bolton can shut me and I suspect others up by winning some games. 3 wins in close to 2 years is incredibly grim, and it is a credit to the club and its supporters that the dam wall has seemingly stayed upright despite our on field ineptitude. I often look to the Dogs of 16 this year and wonder why our expectations are so low, and the fact some on here are bracing themselves for losses to clear dwellers like the Gold Coast indicates to me that we rally need to aim higher.

If you watched some of their 1st two games (suns), you would know they are in excellent form with a LOT of talent..and even more to come in to the team later this year. I reckon Brisbane can make the 8 and Suns..who knows. Should be a ripper game between us and them. Hopefully we can beat them. The standard they are at means if they win it is not because we are so poor..but because they are really a good team now. That's AFL...not much between teams anymore..and think how much help and talent that team has! Stewie Dew has galvanised them and has obvious coaching talent. So perhaps they were always further ahead but were poorly run and coached. Not the same situation as us..as we are being well run as a club
And have only just got the list together after massive turn overs. ( in expectation of your replies cabal of naysayers. )

Yeah fair point, but my point is that we came out after a 7 month break and couldn't even find a goal in the first 45 minutes of footy.

It's not like we'd just been on a long road trip, or off a 5 day break. We finished last in 2018 and should've come out breathing fire. We came out like pussies and ran in circles.

Over the next 2 years we're most likely to lose Simmo, Murphy, Thomas and Kreuzer - that's nearly 1000 games of experience gone. That will make us a very young and inexperienced team that will get flogged week in week out.

Welcome to Groundhog Day.
