WTF is a glass BBQ?
It’s the colloquial term for the glass pipe which is used to smoke one of the worst drugs in the world: Methamphetamine (aka “ice” here in Australia). As you may have heard, that stuff literally puts holes in people’s brains, hence why I used that metaphor for Iceman’s unpopular opinion.

Hey maybe we should make this a sticky thread and put all the unpopular opinions in one place?
I think that you are doing a fine job of making things sticky already.

Play on.
I thought it was a great suggestion, it would give those who are sensitive to unpopular opinions the option to protect themselves by avoiding the thread.

sought of like a mini animal enclosure for the main forum.
once again directing people on how to post. Mods ?
Not at all, it's my attempt at humour.

A very patient troll it would seem, like a sleeper cell just waiting for the signal to unleash mass trolling. One to watch GL, our anti trolling system is relying on your vigilance. :D

He’s had two bad games for the year.

This post has aged horribly. Explains why you had to wait 6 months for the bump to cherry pick a bad performance

A pretty miserable life you must lead if you wait six months to say "see, I was right, nahdy-nahdy-nah-nah".

The sound of crickets about his All-Australian selection, no doubt.

This is a piss take
There would be 16-18 worse players than him on the day

Even conceding that he was beaten on the day…
Has pbly been our best player this year along with Sinclair and Marshall.

All Australian too.

Shocking call. IMO worst of the year

He wasn’t beaten on the day
I think it was the right match up

Who else could play on toby?
NWM - nope
Battle - too loose and not agile/quick enough
Webster - cannot go with him aerially
Cordy - nope
Sinclair - nope

Toby was the one to negate
Unfortunately our mids got smashed and our pressure was not existent - so it didn’t matter anyway

Correct
Once again we miss the point
Toby didn’t do much
The ball coming in had zero pressure on it
Go check Steele Crouch etc tackle counts…..stuff all
They waltzed it out of our fed 50 as our smalls applied no pressure
Through the midfield with clean use/run and out plodding mids could t go with them or were brushed aside
Defence a sitting duck ffs
Why did Cordy look ok preceding weeks??? Cause our mids put pressure on the ball carrier ….he could defend
I was actually surprised, having watched us this year put ton’s pressure on sides, how un-switched in they looked ..and slow..

Dirty day for Cal but he still kept his direct opponent relatively quiet. Pre-game, the media was doing what they usually do and follow each other into an easy narrative. This time Toby was gonna beat us, when in reality the difference between us winning and losing was always gonna be the midfield.

Cal just didn't execute on a few moments where he left Greene to help out his mates. Says so much about him that he had one of his poorer games and kept Toby Greene quiet.

We're lucky to have the bloke.
