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.
regards,
REB

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.

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.

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.!

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...
