The official footy thread for 2011!!

I had a look to see if someone had started a similar thread but couldnt find anything... so here it is!!

I have really missed footy this off season and I cant wait for it to start. In my opinion its Collingwoods to lose, but there will be alot of interesting things to unfold this yr as per usual. As a Bombers supporter im pretty excited to see how we'll go, cant see us winning to many in the first five though.

My top 8

 

Collingwood (Premiers)

Hawthorn

St kilda

Bulldogs

Geelong

Fremantle

Carlton

Adelaide

 

Goddard is a star and my favourite player in the afl, I can see him winning the brownlow this yr.

 

Love to talk footy and here some of my fellow fishwrecked members views on the upcoming season

 

NOT LONG TO GO!!

 

GO DONS!

didn't watch it. Hawks site says that it was a cork in his calf and was just precautionary. From what i can tell he wasn't needed anyway.

Also.. What are everyone's

Also.. What are everyone's thoughts on Michael Hurley. As a bomber supporter I dont think I''ve been as excited about any one player in my 20yrs of following the club. He hs the potential to be the next Brown, Riewolt or Cloke in my opinion.. thoughts?? He's a Western Australian boy I do believe as well!!

I hope Shaw plays.  He'll be

Tue, 2011-08-30 19:02

I hope Shaw plays.  He'll be so far behind after not playing for 8 weeks.  He'll be buggered.  Bring it on!

Tarrant - He's so crap he keeps getting traded out!

Ball - Same!

Wellingham - Seagull!

Can't wait till next Friday night.  It's a pity Fairy Thomas isn't playing.  The pies supporters will probably use that as an excuse as to why they lost!

I tipped 37 I think?  Might be more like 50+ though I'm thinking now.  Don't really know why though?  Just think Geelong might be struggling a bit now???

I was a bit out!  That was

Sat, 2011-09-03 06:28

I was a bit out!  That was one of the best games of footy I've watched all year.  Geelong were just awesome in the second quater.  Not sure if that's going to help the Eagles or not?  Think it might make it harder for them.  Either way, it was good to see collingwood lose by so much!  Let's hope it's season over for them.

Geelong were like poetry in motion, I think I shed a tear for Micky

Let's see how it goes when the whips are cracking next week.

Hopefully the Pies players who picked up a few injuries bounce back ok.

Be a few more weird results before this round finishes. Always is in the last round.

Where is uncle now???

Sat, 2011-09-03 08:32

 Hiding in the corner with the rest of the colli-wobble supporters? Eddie and Mick were openly embarrassed. Seeing an exodous of fans so early is something that hardly any of us are used to. Last night was a hiding of some magnitude and I don't care what anyone says, thats not a good way to go into a finals series. Anyway, it's game on now. Go Eagles! Show us what your made of.

Dominant

Sat, 2011-09-03 09:32

Been the dominant team team this season, hard to be up all year though. Rather put in a shocker before the real deal, will pump the Eagles by plenty next week Vince.
