Agreed on both accounts, just because they've won Brownlow's in the past doesn't make them elite players of today, Diesel could still be on the payroll then.
just because they aren't elite at the moment doesn't mean they are duds...
the fact daisy put Shoenmakers and goodes in the same sentence is a disgrace... but i've come to expect that with him

Roosterman, meet Daisy.

I am sure he's a good bloke but he has terrible taste in footy teams.
This was a tough night if the two things you hate most are racism and dancing. It made it very hard to pick a side.
Of course, a complex issue such as race in Australian society can’t be addressed in a short overview of Sydney v Carlton but surely we can agree that we are all thoroughly enjoying the Blues’ season?
I guess it would be too nuanced a view to suggest not everyone booing Adam Goodes is a racist but there are also a fair few people whose motives aren’t as pure as they pretend.
Perhaps the best thing to do is to save our booing for umpires and the AFL’s Grand Final ‘entertainment.’
Personally, I had no problem with Adam Goodes representing his culture. I’ve been known to represent my own culture from time to time, that being the culture of a middle aged pasty white guy who mainly watches TV alone while eating Pringles. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate that?
Is it possible we’re all making too big a deal over a dance? I hope so. Making too big a deal over minor things is the whole purpose of sport.
New interim coach John Barker said ‘tonight was never going to be about talent,’ which could pretty much be Friday Night Footy’s slogan this year.
A lot was made of the Carlton players’ work rate being up in this game, I guess it was if you consider it was up from zero and you were referring to them at least feigned interest this week.
Sydney’s only take away from this was the disappointment they didn’t win by several thousand points. A poor effort really.
Seven goals from Lance Franklin was probably a pass mark while Sydney’s midfield just did what they needed to do.
Hey Wub's, what do you think of Wayne Careys' call, trade Tippett while you can and get rid of the $800k from the salary cap for a bloke who gets 5 touches a week?

I created the thread a couple of weeks ago and requested it to be deleted, it was going round and round in circles and I thought it had run it's course.
