Gough Suppressant posted:Told my partner about Carltons maritime tragedy and she asked the most pertinent question of all: "Why does Carlton have a hovercraft?" Because our mascot isn't an animal so they had to make him do something more than handstands and somersaults. They bought him a hovercraft. Then it went away since we stopped playing at Princes Park.

The Freo Fuckwit had a hovercraft too, not sure if they even use him anymore.

Wasn't the Carlton mascot the one who actually did a backflip or something and landed on his own cape which basically choke/dragged him straight to the ground?

I don't think he ever had a cape. "My hovercraft is full of eels"

drunkill posted:I don't think he ever had a cape. I thought it was a reason why he got rid of the cape? Probably remembering it wrong but I remember some mascot as a superhero type did this. Freo's isn't a docker dude any more is he, its now an anchor with an eye or something. I used to think the idea of mascots was pretty outdated but I remember before the final against Norf last year there were swarms of kids who were getting around Skeeta. Skeeta is a bastard though because he scared the gently caress out of me at that match as I was lost in my own world texting my cousin to see where he was at before the game and got a massive hug from Skeeta totally unawares.

If Skeeta is the one eyed anchor thing he looks like he fell out of a particularly bad lovecraft story and he should terrify everyone

I couldn't remember why it was a mosquito so google tells me it was named after the Essendon mid field of 50s and 60s known as the mosquito fleet. Full name Moz Skeeta Reynolds. Although it seems the urban dictionary predictably offers some other definitions of the word.

Speaking of mascots, when trying to find the Carlton guy backflipping onto his cape (which I'm now positive I got wrong and was some other mascot) I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjFpIHMNY3Y

Funny the response from a lot of non Essendon fans already seems to be negative and are sick of it and just want it over, I agree, I was just getting to a point of remembering what it was like caring for footy again for the stuff that happened on the field. Really loving over this, over the process taking so long, over the club for bringing this on themselves, over the redundant stupid rear end views of people about it and feel so sorry for the players who must feel sick to their stomach waking up this morning to this. If I'm this over it surely there's some there who feel like giving the game away. On the plus side, maybe we'll start winning matches again?

Can WADA give the bans out to the Essendon bigfooty board instead of the players? I'm sure that's a solution we can all get behind

My interest in this season was already beginning to wain given how poorly Richmond is performing. If it's going to be another 12 months of this I might just pack it in and watch more baseball instead.

This season is interesting at the moment (it's not sustainable) if you can put your club aside because it really looks and feels like just about anyone can get the W any given week. Except for the GC, the Lions and the Blues. Having said that, I'm still watching the Hockey.

As it seems more and more unlikely we'll go three in a row I'm not minding so much that the table has been flipped. As much as the Ross Lyon gameplan annoys me it wouldn't kill me to see Freo win their first, since it may be their last gasp with Pavlich/Sandlilands etc. (If it's a Sandgroper 1-2 that might be a bit much...) Maybe by mid-season the expected pecking order may reassert itself, but for now I'm kind of digging it. Aside from the losing to GWS part.

I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about the Saints win over the Dogs, but I'm sure as hell not. With that in mind: At half time Alan Richardson didn't have much to say but instead just wrote on the whiteboard "what are you going to do?". The more I hear about Richo the more I like him.

It's an interesting season for sure, but I always like seeing one of the big Melbourne clubs not being total rat poo poo just for big crowds and big games. Currently the only one that isn't a total turd is Collingwood.

You are, of course, referring to the Collingwood who knocked over three cellar dwellars and just got schooled by Geelong, who are middling at best.
