Arrogant Tossers (REB's sour grapes thread)

Warning...sour grapes ahead :)

Leigh Matthews once berated his squad after some arrogant comments apres the 2003 Grand Final. So WTF is this 'haunted house' shit that he came up with prior to the game...Geelong stopped running scared of the Brisbane Bullies some time ago and we've proven that in the last two clashes against them. Catter Thompson said the comments were 'crap'...well said.

Is it just me or is everyone throughly sick of seeing Michael Voss' smug countenance and saying the same shit every September? I have had to buy two new TV's after I lost it and threw something at the screen when he launched into his 'this time of year' crap yet again. Enough already!

A strange thing is happening to me...I never thought I'd say this but I hope the Power win the grand final. A 38 year old bloke that barracks for a team that gets no draft picks, no recruits and no blockbusters that has never won a flag in his lifetime just can't stand the friggin arrogance displayed by this AFL sponsored juggernaught.

Jase...I'm officially jumping on that Power bandwagon. The main reason I hate Port is because of the arrogance that comes with sustained success....now Brisbane are starting to emulate the Port Magpies crap of old and it fair dinkum makes me ill. Go the Power.

They remind me of the Gowans boys in the SNAFL. You aren't allowed to tackle them either or they try and rough you up. Macca wannabees the pair of em.

...thought you'd be happy about that. You've got to hand it to a coach that loses TWICE to the current Norwood outfit LOL.

Excuse Me. Anybody else allowed on this Sour Grapes Thread??

REB, you talk about Brisbane's arrogance but never see the arrogance displayed by Port, esp C Cornes.

If Port learnt a bit of humility occasionally instead of trying to forever rub everyone's nose in it, they may gain a bit of respect.

Maybe, just maybe, you two are talking Tall Poppy.

The best team wins - if it's Brissy - they've created a bit of history. If it's Port - good on them. After three years being the best H&A side, they deserve it.

Of course it is TPS. That's why it's on the sour grapes thread. What exactly did Chad do to raise your ire Westy?

ps- not feeling quite so sour today :)

Speaking for myself, being called Chad wouldn't have set him off to the best of starts.

He's so arrogant he thinks they named an African country after him.

Bloody hell REB!

What would you rather the tripe all players are meant to dish out when asked a question by the media, they all say the same thing - OR - a player who answers the question with his opinion e.g. Akermanis. You're not satisfied with either!

As for the Matthews statement - pre game hype as were Bomber Thompsons.

Mind you I hope Bomber was just feeling a touched miffed when he said his players should not shake hands at the end of the game. Down right unsportsman like. One of the great things of this game is at the end of every game, no matter what's happened before the siren ends it. Once that siren has gone players shake hands and leave it on the field.

I happen to think (as do most that I've spoken to)Geelong played really well, that fact we won was good from out pov, but does not take away from how well Geelong played.

'He's so arrogant he thinks they named an African country after him.'

And he's so thick it took him a dozen shots to guess which one.

Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 04:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry Lucy but I DID warn you about the sour grapes LOL.

REB if Geelong bounce back as fast as you have (good on you!) then I'm sure they will be the force next year along with St Kilda.

I wonder if all this vitriol would be as loud and persistent if it was say Essendon or Richmond going for an attempt to win their fourth consecutive GF - or am I getting totally paranoid again.!

Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Lucy, you're kidding yourself. If Essendon were getting $800K more than everyone else the roar would be deafening, and you know it.

chrisso (chrisso), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

All I want is one Geelong premiership in a row. Surely that's not too much to ask? You should see King William Street...bloody teal flags flying everywhere!

General! The Bogans now hold the city of Adelaide!!

REB

School yard bullies the Scott brothers. I wish it was one of them rather than that nice lad Shaun hart who had their head re-arranged. Unfortunately, that would never happen as they are too busy scragging to get a kick of make a brave attempt at a contest...

For the Kray brothers, its cheap hits off the ball, mouthing off at anyone in a top another colour to theirs and easy kicks running out of the back pockets...

Bennö (Bennö), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Jase is the one who was talking about the Scotts. It's Scott fugg all to do with me :)
