What’s with the fake looking pockets on the back of the Blues shorts? Looks like they have eyes on their butts lol .

Torn out. Cartoon's fade to grey.
 
Of all clubs and supporters, thought we would be the least into arrogance. Firstly, JLT results, ours' and theirs', mean nothing. Secondly, expect Cartoon to be better this year. It's pretty obvious; they must get better, surely. Plus, Bolton will be releasing the handbrake after concentrating on teaching them defence, straight out of the coaching handbook for this century or decade at least.

So we should win and win well, the loss of Docherty hurts them. But it might be more of a contest than you think.

BTW, checked out that outfit they wore tonight. Look like an Eastern European volleyball team from behind the Iron Curtain circa 1983 on a tightly restricted budget.

:rofl

I thought they were Chinese Buddhist outfits.

What do your argumentive pills taste like Leon?
Try playing the ball rather than the man for a while. You might enjoy yourself.
Like you I have an opinion.
On your attempts to break down my opinions.
1. Rioli doesn't need to debunk George as he's already starting 22 if you hadn't heard.
2. I've known Higgins since he was U/9s at East Malvern Knights and will personally garauntee he is smarter player than Butler ( which isn't hard ) Higgins is a first year player so will need another pre season but you can watch this space.
3. As I said WHEN Bolton developes a tank he won't be limited to being a small forward. Too good to be locked into a corner. Only needs time.
Hope that helps.

Firstly the post you chose to respond to was in the context of a dialogue with Kid123 but you jumped in. OK. But claiming that Higgins is indisputably smarter than Butler, repeated above. With no more evidence or grounds than ... because you know him ... so that's a guarantee!! :rofl

So you get antsy because I dared to question this bulldust and dare to challenge your authority. You get upset and personal.
1. Bolton is the threat to Castagna's (or Butler's) spot over most likely 2018, or into 2019. He brings the speed, tackling threat with pressure, and an even better leap, who IMO, is more chance to hold his marks. Kicking, both not highly reliable, but overall rate Bolton as far more skilled with better game-sense and skills. But hasn't the tank yet. So 3 into two spots won't go when Drioli's back. But did you read all of my earlier reply to the Kid before you jumped in where I referred to CMoore etc?
2. Along with the factual evidence mentioned already, as distinct from spurious nonsense claims, Butler finished way ahead of JC in the B & F. Strange, when he is so 'less smart'?
Higgins looks promising but claiming he will overleap the likes of Butler in his first year, because you know him, is pretty fanciful at this point.

Not on any pills BTW, just nibbling on some M & Ms and they taste pretty good. Have a nice evening. (Only sour taste in my mouth is coming from the cricket score in SA!!)

Gee could we have done it any better? A 70 point flogging and we rested most of our key players in the second half. Gee I can't remember being in this good a nick heading into a season...

2002 we were in great pre-season form until the night series GF.
 
Menzel has kicked two goals in the first quarter against the Bombers, if Scott the master coach hadn't dropped him he might have been handy in the qualifying final :D
 
Dangerfield has just done a hammy!

Didn't look too bad - but he pulled his kick hence it seems to be something he was wary/aware of.

Might not play Rd1.

Injuries to Danger/Henderson/Ablett and a shortened preseason for Selwood. A few teams would be happy to have Geelong early.

Rabblebourne have the Pussie Cats first up dont they?
Here's hoping Smelbourne decide to make a statement. Disappointed about missing finals n go in full scale crash n bash footy, put the Moggies on the back foot from round one.

Yep. I was gobsmacked when I heard Robert Walls spruiking Silvagnis talent spotting ability by saying “just look at the list he put together at GWS”.

Walls had the couple of years off in France and has come back as a shadow of his former analytical self.

Reckon Terry Wallace would have picked a couple of winners as well.
