AFL debacle!! RIGGED!

**Charliewool** · 28-08-2005, 09:46 PM

Ok, whilst suppressing a huge degree of anger, (being a doggies man) and trying to be as unbiased as possible. This Essendon v Melbourne fiasco, that has ended ALL chance of the Doggies being there (and giving it to em) in September.
May I just put forward what was told to me in a pretty hallowed establishment in the Western suburbs of Melbourne last night?....
And that being, that MFC (Melb football club) are paying for Essendon's end of season trip... ALL receipts are to be kept and forwarded to MFC!!..
Do you believe this????

(Apparently FFC offered Essendon a slab to do their best)

MO · 28-08-2005, 09:49 PM

So which did they take the trip or the slab???

Which do you reckon John??..... Essendon & Melbourne are both "silvertails".....
AFL & the powers that be despise anything to do with Footscray Football Club!... But we'll show em!.. Scott West for Brownlow and Doggies roar in 2006!
(sorry if I'm a little parochial here but GOD it's SO heartbreaking.... AGAIN!)

I was expecting Manchester United to win!

**Charliewool** · 28-08-2005, 10:34 PM

Well NOT life... Cos he's NOT too bad a player

**Charliewool** · 28-08-2005, 10:34 PM

Typical hey???....... (there's an H in winging BTW)
Tell me Mr Walkinshaw... Who you'd rather be playing in a G/ Final.. US or the other "easybeats" that are left in the hunt?...
The AFL do NOT want the Doggies there... Never have and never will.....
Good Luck anyhow... I now think You guys v Sydney for the flag

I don't think it's entirely up to them. Although once the doggies start drawing crowds and making money for the AFL I'm sure FFC/WBFC will be granted friday night games, slabs of beer etc.
With the "litter" of younger exciting players they have they will be a force to be reckoned with in the next 2 years. (I just can't leave out that Adam Cooney & Ryan Griffen were stolen from S.A and considered to be the future for the bulldogs)
They must play their cards right though as the departure or West, Johnson & Grant to old age after that will leave a "lead by example" void in the side.

See below. The Round 21 loss to Melbourne who were in poor form shouldn’t have happened. All you needed was 1 game. Not the AFL's fault, nor that of Essendons inferior season or Melbournes ability to bribe. (not that i believe that)
Round 21
Melbourne 16. 13. (109) def. Western Bulldogs 16. 9. (105)
The answer for now….
Take solace in Werribe (the bulldogs VFL reserves side)
They finished top of the ladder so that shows some depth. Numerous senior players are running around for them (rawlings, 8 goals in the 16 goal thrashing of coburg on the weekend) You can even drink beer at the local footy ;)

Walkinshaw · 28-08-2005, 11:07 PM

have a winge (sp)

oh have I at anystage alluded to my team allegence?

MightyXR6Turbo · 28-08-2005, 11:10 PM

Nah, its because WB always have crap players and can't make the cut, maybe one day the WB might field a side that is a bit better than a Reserve VFL grade squad ;)

Jumping to a few conclusions there. Similar to the conclusion that WB are good enough for the 8.

JC · 28-08-2005, 11:22 PM

Melbourne have always paid for Essendon's end of year trips, except the years when Essendon won the premiership. It's a part of the AFL's whole "keep a Victorian team in the final series" strategy, and has been operational since Brisbane entered the competition. (This is a joke, BTW).

Maybe the Western Bulldogs should be renamed to the Footscray Poodles! LOL.

MightyXR6Turbo · 28-08-2005, 11:23 PM

Hahaha. No, you're wrong, I don't support a South Australian side, however, in a Showdown, I'll never go for Port. hahaha.

I'm sure that will occur as soon as the AFL people dont bag the Rugby people in their threads. :P
