I'm glad I don't support anyone then. You can support a team without being a ridiculously biased moron who does nothing but whinge about the refereeing all game and refuse to see that your team played like crap. I can't imagine someone like Speirz making a string of posts like that when watching a game, for example. Ritchie is just a shit cunt.
Anyway, those saying that this performance is a pointer to Melbourne being out of form are fucking idiots. They did enough to win and now enjoy a week off.
Like I said, they've been ordinary for like a month now. Newcastle played like shit, but still could have won if some ref calls went the other way. Not the best form to be taking into the prelims with a week off.
I can see perfectly fine how shit we played. It's what builds up the frustration so when you do get a shit call it makes you fucking hate the ref, which sets up the string of shit posts.
You can be, but you're just being a halfassed fan most likely. Tyson bitched about refs, but he also bitched about his team being shit too. They were just watching them team be knocked out of the comp playing like shit cunts, they're pissed that 27 weeks had come to such a thing, and who can blame them for getting pissed about 50/50 calls (sometimes worse)? You just hate people bitching about ref decisions, as you always have.
Haha yeh they had the minor premiership wrapped up ages ago, their main goal for a while now has been just to get through to the semi's as unscathed as possible. Certainly didn't see any other teams 'stepping it up a level'.
Must be because you support the Roosters that you don't know how the finals work. You are supposed to be peaking on going in with momentum. Otherwise, you just get knocked out like the Dragons.
Really? As a Roosters supporter I watched us go into the finals series last year with the worst momentum out of every team yet win 3 straight to make it to the Grand Final despite everyone saying how unimpressive we were against the Tigers in the first final and the Cowboys the week before. That kind of back fired...
True just 4th, 3rd & 2nd. Couldn't have got an easier run. Happily debate what's more important momentum or health leading into a finals series but quit with the funnies, obviously not your thing.
They are definitely still a chance, but I just personally think they'll get knocked out next time they'll play. Prolly against the Tigers.
Don't know why everyone is biting Alec's head off. All he was saying is Melbourne hasn't been on their game for the last month and that now isn't that time to be slacking off. Which is true.
Well my comment was directed just at Alec, a lot of people have been telling me Melbourne will fail easily in the finals, I can't understand them, it's not like they're the Dragons.
Pretty average game. Just flicked between this, the AFL final and the cricket. Anyone know what the attendance was?
