Round 17: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Bermi]

I love Billings. So reliable. First picked next year.

Billings verses Richmond, next week Thursday, will be interesting to see how he goes against tough opposition.

 

[dicksilverman]

lived in BH for 45 years , absolute awesome place

where do you live now Herbie? i was last there a couple of years back. done St Pats a couple times, ripping day!

 

[Bermi]

Of all the pain this game inflicts I suppose not having the V on either of Danger or Cripps is the easiest kind to take.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gawn beats their scores, so still hope on those who missed them.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Is that the sound of a razor slapping against leather I hear above the groans of all ex Billings owners?

Had him... dumped him... 2nd week back in my team as F7

 

[Drew]

Jesus Drew be careful , you might get yourself locked up

used to be about 30 pubs in the 2 main streets , so just enough for a Pub Crawl

Haha I’m going there for work, so I’m sure I’ll be on my best behaviour!

Will be sure to check some of the pubs out of course, gotta eat somewhere!

been in Adelaide the last 3-4 years

St Pats is awesome (too old for it now) + Silverton on the Sunday for "recovery" day

 

[Drew]

Don’t ask me why (the football's finished?) but I’m watching Trump and Teresa May's joint press conference, I think Donald is what we call in Australia a D!ckhead. Jesus....

Not sure how there VFL side is going but if you can't make the seniors geez Louise.

Proper rebuilds take time and while they are terrible at the minute I reckon the time to judge the Blues is the end of 2020, with some high draft picks in the 2018 and 2019 drafts, another 30-40 games into the youngsters and Docherty hopefully back and fully firing. Kreuzer, Simmo and Daisy will most likely all be finished and getting some decent recruits to replace them will be important.

Boak v JJK - it has been bugging me all week!

Current history says toss a coin but JjJK greater chance to spike so he gets my vote

Spot on, IDIG.
What's all this talk about "you have to understand, they are going through a rebuild, and that takes a number of years".
The rebuild didn't start this year, or last year, so just how do they explain that they've actually gone backwards so much, in the last 2 years?!

2011 - played finals
2012 - finished 10th with 11 wins
2013 - 9th with 11 wins
2014 - 13th with 7 wins
2015 - 18th with 4 wins
2016 - 14th with 7 wins
2017 - 16th with 6 wins
2018 - up to round 17 - 18th with 1 win

The rebuild started 4 seasons ago, and they should be showing signs of improvement by now, instead it looks like they are starting again from 1 step behind scratch!

Maybe it's time for Carlton to get a new recruiting officer?

Whoever he is, he may not want to put his last job on his resume.

Bermi ,

Why would you want Carlton to improve from their current ladder position and have them get a ( new recruiting manager ) , i might be old fashioned here but leave Carlton exactly were they are with no help , it's far more enjoyable than them winning and have them eat and choke on lots of humble pie for a while longer

Was recently able to attend a sportsman night with guests Sticks Kernahan , Greg Williams , Craig Bradley who all agreed that Carlton won't be on the bottom much longer anyway , lots of forward thinking plans already are in place which will ensure improvement in a lot of areas and add the support from past players with this ......success will come , they were certainly great footballers in there day no denying that but now there better comedians thou

( Collingwood supporter disclaimer clause..............now in effect )
