5 things you don't want to see in 2015

[valleys07]

1. James Hird. GTFO.
2. Brian Taylor.
3. An AFC or SFC premiership
4. Season ending injuries to players, especially the competitions stars.
5. Umpires becoming more of a presence in the AFL than they already are.

[Pag]

1. That stupid Crow noise at Adelaide Oval.
2. Essendon players get off light. Need a proper sentence so Hird gets the axe.
3. All GWS' kids re-sign.
4. Mark Thompson not in the media.
5. Richmond to not win a final, again.

[kneedeepinthehoopla]

1. Lindsay Thomas and his diving rubbish. Can play when he goes at the ball, but struth
2. Dangerfield limping or wincing in pain or something of similar ilk. Over it.
3. Dermie
4. The Advertiser
5. J Bootsma

[Spargo]

1. The constant hype around Jared Polec
2. MRP inconsistencies
3. Essendon, Adelaide or Port playing finals
4. Piss weak suspensions costing ANY player a final
5. Adam Goodes

[Booney]

Constant hype?

[Spargo]

Take off the blinkers Boon

[Booney]

I've just been updating my understanding of "constant" and "hype". I was right, nothing has changed.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Crows in finals
Port in finals
rule interpretations changing on a week by week basis

[Baron Greenback]

1. Jack Crisp turning into a gun at Collingwood
2. Another knee injury to Daniel Rich
3. Mitch Robinson suspended every second week
4. Mark Ricciuto's boofhead
5. Patrick Dangerfield limping like a little girl all the time

[Q.]

^^^ I don't think you're at risk of #1 happening, will be delisted in two years

[Baron Greenback]

I hope so. Probably should've had pick 5 being a gun instead.

[PatowalongaPirate]

1. Crows supporters bleating about umpires.
2. Port supporters bleating about umpires.
3. Carlton in the top 8.
4. Ed and Derm on TV.
5. Hawthorn on Grand Final day.

[Q.]

I hope so. Probably should've had pick 5 being a gun instead.

Fingers crossed. Guess we won't know for at least a couple of years though.

[Bandit]

1. Good tackles urewarded (think hill on malceski in gf)
2. Over the head backwards handballs which used to be a throw (think dangerfield)
3. Diving/acting/staging (think lindsay thomas)
4. Melbourne applying for priority pick.... again
5. Sam Lane on TV

[Dutchy]

1. A Crows win in Round one...please
2. No co-captains in the AFL, seriously the most stupid thing ever
3. Tim Ginever commentating
4. Port blaming someone/something else for their mistakes
5. A GF without the Roos

[carey]

Almost 100% chance all 5 will happen.

[the milky bar kid]

1. The player first to the ball penalized
2. North Melbourne in the top 4 (they showed how far away they are last year, biggest pretenders around)
3. People whinging about Malthouse treating journalists like idiots when they ask ridiculous questions
4. Collingwood & Richmond not wearing legit clash jumpers
5. Patrick Dangerfield signing before year's end

[Spargo]

North Melbourne in the top 4 (they showed how far away they are last year, biggest pretenders around)

Alright champ, I'll bite.
Came from 6 goals down & won 1st elimination final.
The following week won a cut throat final against Geelong, arguably the most hardened finals team the last decade (only the third time a team goes out in straight sets since final 8 started IIRC).
Sure they were outclassed by Sydney, but so would everyone else have been - bar Hawthorn.
North took a few more steps forward last year, beating all top 4 sides at some stage. They're not in the same category as the two grand finalists, but they are next in line.
If this makes them pretenders, then apart from probably Port, the rest of the comp has no hope at all.
Nice troll though.

Absolutely. It worked...

But it's not up to Mick to decide if the question is shit or not, it's up to him to answer it and he has seriously lacked professionalism in the last season or so when it comes to his pressers.

I'd imagine he'd have been told to pull his head in and get on with it. Carlton are on the slide, fast, he better get used to answering questions after a loss.
