Nice to have different opinions on TC without getting personal like some.

I stupidly had a look at the ladder predictor for this round and it just blew me away.
If the teams win the games they should and the Roos somehow beat the Tigers we are actually in the top 8 for this week only.

Cats def GWS
We def Suns
Kangas def Tigers
Port def Crows
Swans def Saints
Collingwood def Hawks
Dogs def cheats*
Lions def Dockers
Melb def Eagles

I just went through the last 2 rounds and "taking the foot off the pedal" last week could well and truly bite us in the butt.
We now must win the last 3 so % is not an issue and at the least, smash the Suns this week.

Touch wood, fingers crossed and all that.

Also on a positive note, if the Tigers do win their next 3 and the Eagles only win 1 of the next 3. The cheats* can win all of their last 3 and still miss out.

Would be great if North got up but would they be tanking at this point?

Yeah, how is it that no one on TC ever talks about Plowman’s performance ?

You should raise it in the players thread…

For our sake I hope not, they should've done that 2 weeks ago. :lol:

Plowman is a good stopper.

Strong and brave AF - his disposal efficiency is consistently in the 85%+

You continue to make disparaging comments about Newnes, even when Newnes has played well and better than a few others selected who make more mistakes than Newnes.

Those other players must be your favourites, and naming Newnes as the weakest link is probably deflecting attention from ... well have a look at our bench, and our emergencies; they're right before your eyes.



Bondi, normally I do ignore a fair bit and have no problem with difference of opinion. I actually like the banter most of the time. My issue is with both of these sentences from you!

My last line wasn’t directed at you but more to the general posters who are taking pot shots at some of our players who have given their all. For instance, 12 months ago, the same posters where singing Casboult as the best utility in the game and now they want him shot. Of course they completely ignore that he has been playing on one leg and only played because of need!! As for Murphy, I respect anyone that has played this game, let alone someone who has captained our club and played over 250 games. I’m not saying his perfect, no one is but he has done it bloody hard within this club. I haven’t heard anything negative with Hawthorn getting Buryone to 400. If you have seen any of their games, I think ha was lucky to be able to walk these days but the fact is, they honor their players. Something we need to learn.

Newnes, Cottrell, Gibbons shouldn’t be in our 22 and IMO will be luckily to survive this year. That’s my opinion and I bet they all survive but it’s my opinion from what I have seen. I have also been vocal on Ed’s role but I have not been disrespectful to him or any other poster because they don’t agree with me.

I’ve said my part and yep, you are definitely someone I would not have a problem catching up with. Your positive attitude is something I had many a years ago until this club decided to rebuild 3 times in 20 years and flowered every one of them up because they just don’t get it.

Apparently the coach is under pressure?
