Dave - don't dare mention the good old fashioned mid season slump. All A OK, according to Joffa.
Ultimately, we should have made top 4. But theres not much else we can do now. I cant really see another way the finals series could be structured |
Is there a FAIRER system Joffa? Stop sooking like a little school girl.

Not much different to say here. We are in the position we are due to the fact we royally screwed up games we should have won. End of story.
And Subiaco is not the impregnable bastion some think. Interstate teams have won there against both Freo and The Eagles. You just have to be good enough to do it.
The answer for 2007 is simple. Be a more determined, more skilled and generally improved football side and win more games!

| As a matter of interest Joffa, tell me this, how do you reconcile your support for Eddie with your hatred of the corporatisation of football. I would have thought Eddie has played a pretty central role in the direction of the game as a whole as well as the club over the past decade. This isn't a crack at him as I think he's been great for the club (or a crack at you for that matter), but I would have thought, given your views expressed in this thread that you would be at polar opposites to where Eddie's coming from. |

My support for eddie and why i've always supported eddie is well documented in the Michael Roberts latest book ' The barrackers are Shouting '

Might aswell start with the excuses now even before we have played our first final! Why not, it will make us all feel better for the next 5 months in the off season blaming everything else! |

I like these two statements.
Joffa, I disagree with the point you have made. You do have a right to complain about it though. We understood the rules at the start of the season and our fate was in our own hands.
You have no right to complain about the rules now. If you were unhappy with the situation and the rules, then you should have complained about it before the first game of the season. Bring it up at the AGM, and try to get the club to do something about it.
Complaining about it now makes you (and Collingwood supporters) sound like a petulant child.
Joffa, I love and appreciate your work for the Club and the community, but you are doing yourself no favours acting in this way. |
It is grossly unfair that a winning side during a finals series only gets to play at the MCG once with the exception of a Grand Final.
If the bottom four of the eight are going to be treated like shit scrap the whole bloody thing and just have a top four finals series
The final eight was never designed to realistically give team number seven and eight a chance of winning a flag it is designed to attract as many dollars as possible.
Its all false hope it's all bullshit, the heartland of AFL football is now very much the poor cousin whilst the evil empire the AFL will continue to do all it can to favour interstate clubs it has to because the national competiton has to work and it is working but at the expense of all Melbourne based football clubs...it has created a monster have a look at where the cup has gone over the last ten years...i got some news for you all the next years will be no different!!

I must admit i do believe victorian clubs will never be a formidable power again unless the number of sides in victoria is cut to perhaps eight or even six sides.

Would it be fairer if Collingwood finished 2nd, lost the first final, and then had to play at Subiaco or Adleaide the following week because West Coast finished 8th and won their elimination final?

Teams finishing 7th and 8th do have a realistic chance, they just have to win every game they play in the finals. Probably unlikely, but it is still a better chance than finishing 9th.

I agree with what someone else wrote, that there are too many Victorian Clubs for Victorian Clubs to be a true force (ie 8 Vic Clubs in the finals.)
Joffa, you are still not making any constructive argument with your comments above.
If you don't like it, use a forum available to you to bring up constructive solutions to the problems as you see it. Bring to gether like minded people, and work on a plan of action to change what you can. Have a real crack at it, otherwise you'll just be unhappy with it for the rest of your life. |

Joffa, if you are going to use the ignore facility, you can't afford to make comment about what you think may have been said - or you'll make a fool of yourself.
In this instance, Tess said nothing.
For that, and your continued provocative habit of calling her 'it', I believe that you owe her an apology. |
