Chris McDermott Is A Fool!!!

[sax]

This dick has picked us to finish 13th and this is what he's got to say

"The team in danger of the biggest slump. The loss of old boy, Robert Harvey, has the midfield looking far less imposing. Ross Lyon's squad is thin on pace, thin on quality talls and thin on quality talent"

this is his ladder FYI

1. Hawthorn
2. Geelong
3. Collingwood
4. Bulldogs
5. Carlton
6. Port
7. Richmond
8. Adelaide
9. West Coast
10. North Melbourne
11. Brisbane
12. Sydney
13. St. Kilda
14. Essendon
15. Fremantle
16. Melbourne

6th: Port

[saintbrat]

who is Chris mc dermott?

how many wickets has Chris taken?

bit like the bookies having the Aussies favourite for both the melb and Syd tests after being soundly beaten by Sth Africa in Perth.

[Pilgram]

i know.
i asked myself the same question saintbrat. who is he?

9th: West Coast

LMFAO.
The only thing West Coast would finish ninth in is a game of naughts and crosses

Ex-Adelaide Crow, aweful commentator (for unlucky SA viewers) and dodgey nightclub owner. Was responsible for the wonderful comment 'the sooner they get rid of you bastards the better' to Fitzroy player's as they left the ground following their final match together. Great sportsman, lousy footy tipper.

or after round two.

Lets not get too excited about this bloke's opinion:

OPINIONS ARE LIKE A***HOLES. EVERYONE'S GOT ONE !!

[EB]

Exactly ^

It's pretty hard at this time of year to predict where everyone will finish.
I mean, Port made a grand final in 07 then barely won a game last year.
Similar deal with the Eagles

So is it fair to say he's an A***hole with an opinion?

[Pilgram]

mcdermott on mcleod:
"okay, so moving him forward against st. kilda didnt work last time but he is a genuine goalsneak"...

[rodgerfox]

I don't think he's far off the mark to be honest.

[saint66au]

I don't think he's far off the mark to be honest.

....but you'd prolly have us 15th-ish, you ray of shining light

[Pilgram]

I don't think he's far off the mark to be honest.

the rationale being that if you lose someone great, you lose the plot.

robert harvey's retirement has been the best thing that has happened to the club in twenty-one years.

wake up and smell the beans rogerfox.

If I read the rules for the 2009 main draft correctly picks 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 will be the first round picks for the 16 existing clubs.
This after Gold Coast has taken the cream from Queensland.
Gold Coast also gets the other 9 first round picks.

Finishing 4th again would be "rewarded" with a lousy pick 22
Finishing 13th would get a so-so pick 10.

If the club isn't going to have a realistic tilt at the flag then it would be adviseable to start tanking early.
A wooden spoon would score a pretty decent pick 4 and probably a priority pick 26, and then the second 2nd round pick at pick 28 after Gold Coast.

[Pilgram]

we've done really well to get some quality in lynch and heyne.

the tilt is 2010 and beyond.

I cannot believe he even gets to have an opininon unless of course he picked us to finish top 4. What would he know anyway.

Well, you've got to admit his reasoning is a little thin...hasn't he heard of recruiting?

I wouldnt expect any of our first year recruits to have any impact this season and only minimal impact from Ray and maybe Begley. Our second and third year players are the ones that need to improve for us to hold our position.

That's very true...I guess he predicting that out of the retreads, second, third and debut players, they're gonna be short, slow and not much chop. This, of course, is quite possible.

To his credit, he has Crows with their old squad and lack of interesting recruits finishing in around about the same spot. However, thery look far more likely to slump to 13th than the Saints IMO.

I was lying (of course) when I said he was a good sportsman, but he is actually an ordinary tipper from memory...which works in our favour.
