The Yarraville Nets

[jazzadogs]

Overly negative? Yes.

A bit mean? Absolutely.

Necessary? I wouldn't have thought so.

Here's my list of 10 AFL-adjacent-in-2022 flogs who I just don't like, and to whom I would like to cordially extend an invite to the Yarraville Nets:

1. De Goey. Clearly the worst person on this list. Wish he'd gone to the Saints, would have fitted right in. NETS!

2. Bailey Fritsch. A face only a mother could love, and a footballing philosophy that not even his teammates could love. Selfish, arrogant, unlikeable. NETS!

3. Gary Rohan. Only place he scores is in the physio room. Bad bloke, and all time worst grand final player. NETS!

4. Toby Greene. Even I can't believe he's only made it to fourth. Grub. NETS!

5. Kevin Sheedy/James Hird. The hubris of these two. Incredible that they're still relevant on a flog list in 2022. NETS (Sheeds, bring the wine)!

6. Tom Lynch. Private school boy "I'm better than all of you" smug prick. Can't even kick a goal from a metre out. HA! NETS!

7. Wayne Carey. Is he finally fading into footballing obscurity? Maybe for a year or two, until the boys club welcomes him back. Despicable human with no morals, and most likely ulcerative colitis from all those anti-inflammatories he's been snorting. NETS!

8. Tex Walker. He's such a big racist goofball, captain of the year, ya gotta love him!! But I don't. NETS!

9. Luke Hodge. Speaking of good blokes and captains of the century, this guy can do no wrong!!! Unless you're talking about DUIs. Or trying to decapitate opponents on point posts. Or acknowledging the systemic racism that is rampant in his football club and wider Australia. NETS!

10. Melbourne FC. "It doesn't count until we win one at the G in front of the fans". That's all they want. All the flogs - Lever, May, Spargo, Melksham, Oliver, Harmes, Goodwin, Pickett and the rest. That's all they want. A flag at the G. Hope you're waiting a loooong time to be freed from that desire. In the mean time, see you at the Nets (Melksham not invited).

[Grantysghost]

Haha gold!

It's like BOOM. ROASTED!

I'll add in a coach for that list.

John Longmire - Face like a bucket full of armpits and the most ungracious GF loser in history having a sook to the AFL after losing the GF by 4 goals. Call the Wambulance! NETS!

(hey that felt good)

[jeemak]

None of them deserve the honour of the Yarraville Nets, in my view it's where - as GVGjnr's signature stated - real people go to work.

Those nets are ours, whatever's left can take the dead area of the oval.

Great list otherwise.

[josie]

Love your work Jazzadogs.

So what do you plan to do with your 10 flogs at the Yarraville Nets; Kiss and make up? Catch butterflies together with the nets? Tie them up and whip them with the nets (a bit of male bonding)? Catch all of them together in the netting like those jungle movies, then hang the bounty from a tree and let them slog it out? Grab a big stick and the netting and have it out with them one at a time - gladiator style?

[Swoop]

Disappointed you couldn't squeeze Jeremy Finlayson into your list. Well done.

[bornadog]

I will add Hardwick the biggest sook in AFL coaching. Forget Longmire's sook of 2016 GF, Hardwick sooks every week when they lose

" Oh I hate playing Marvel"

" Oh it should have been a goal" - forgetting 2 minutes to go they were still 3 points in front and lost. Must have whinged for over a week on that one and probably will for ever

Also running off with a junior staffer says it all about his character

[jazzadogs]

Happy Days isn't gonna be able to get any work done with all these guys filing through his office.

Finlayson is definitely on the list - shushing a 'home' crowd in a final then backing it up with 1 disposal in a grand final. Might pit him against Gary Rohan and tell them it's grand final day. The fight could last days with neither landing a punch.

More nominations welcome -

[EasternWest]

Jazza this is your finest work.

But I have to agree with jeemak: the Yarraville Nets are where we pull our own into line, dish out WOOF discipline.

But hot damn your enthusiasm for the subject matter cannot be ignored.

[Rocco Jones]

Outstanding.

[soupman]

Dayne Zorko surely qualifies. Small man syndrome, a real grub on field and his Petty comments this year were really no surprise to anyone.

Also he's just retired after fading into AFL list obscurity but Devon Smith was basically the same thing as Zorko.

Both can get stuffed.

[jazzadogs]

Pretty sure Devon Smith hit Cooney off the ball in an early GWS game in Canberra? But might have been one of their other thugs at the time.

Jeremy Cameron was also lucky to miss. With his attempted murder on Harris Andrews a few years back which put him in hospital with brain bleeding, and his deliberate hit on JJ, I have disliked him for a long time. Though I feel he has matured somewhat, moving back to the farm has been good for him.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Harry Taylor.

He deserves multiple trips to the nets.

[GVGjr]

Harry Taylor.

He deserves multiple trips to the nets.

Yes please, I never really had it in for Geelong until some Harry Taylor remarks sealed it for me.

[Happy Days]

Like any of these guys even know where Yarraville is.

They can all absolutely get it though. I’ll add in Ben Brown, not that he’s a bad person or anything but his crimes against footy can’t continue to go unpunished and I’m pretty certain I could beat him up.

I dislike everything he does on-field, but a vegan feminist family-man off field - not sure the nets are for him.

Imagine how long his bowling run up would be!

Would love to see Bevo v Barrett or Tom Morris at the nets. In fact lets make it a cage match and he can take them both on at once.

[chef]

I would like to see Danny Southern with a choke hold on Alastair Lynch. Or is that going too far?

[EasternWest]

Jeremy Cameron is a weird one. I've traditionally found myself hating him and his stupid Beaker head but he actually seems like an alright bloke now. So conflicted.

I'd be happy to see Bevo v Barrett/Morris but not sullying up the holy grounds of the Yarraville Nets.

I'll give my counter argument in the form of a video presentation.

You wanna know how I know you glossed over what I said?

[josie]

It’s his side show Bob hair & funny run up that make him abbey normal. I heard him providing special comments on a recent AFLW dogs match and actually thought he was much better than most (not that the bar is high) and he seemed ok so I’ve swung around a bit on Brown. Does seem like a decent human being too. Then again he plays for Demons, so….

[Grantysghost]

You wanna know how I know you glossed over what I said?

I didn't I just don't agree he seems ok now.

Man that hit was as bad as any I've seen playing or watching.

As bad as Plugger on Caven.

Somehow it's not notorious like that was.

Probably because he didn't go on to kick 11 goals after it.

I was way too young to have seen Plugger's hit but my dad used to tell me about it in light of the goals that followed like it was a work of comedy.

Taylor Adams is who you're thinking of. Man that GWS team was f*cked.

Caven's headbutt on poor Plugger's elbow was a pretty vicious act.

[Happy Days]

Taylor Adams is the last guy I would want to fight in the world. I think with 3 months of training he could be the UFC Welterweight Champion.

[Mitcha]

I'm pretty sure the hit on Cooney was delivered by Tom Bugg another of their smug upstarts who tried to compensate for his lack of actual ability by trying to be an enforcer.

Nah, it was Adams.

[Mitcha]

Should have known not to doubt you. What time do you need me at the nets for my punishment?

[Twodogs]

Nah, it was Adams.


https://youtu.be/xui7mse1-B0

Tom Bugg was (is) still a *!*!*!*! though.

[Twodogs]

Sounds like there's going to be a fair queue. You might want to give it a couple of days maybe.

Their loss. Yarraville was measured as one of the coolest suburbs in the world not long ago.

Not telling me anything I don't already know. I'd actually hate it if I saw James Harmes or some other bozo rolling around the streets. That dickhead on Stephen St with the custom Melbourne banners is bad enough.

[Grantysghost]

My mum was born in Spotswood, so I'll meet you at those nets to decide which is the better nets.

Growing up in Yarravlle who would have thought.

Sometime Plugger wasn’t a ball player …

Hard to argue on anyone listed here.

Sheedy, I am dragging him to the nets. Glad his name has come up.

Kozzie Pickett I am adding, he seems like a real prick.

Surprised The King Wanking Wayne Carey didn't get a spot on your list Doc.

[Scraggers]

Why has no one (to this date) mentioned Patrick Dangerfield? Can’t stand the bloke … smarmy little sniper. I was very disappointed he and Jeremy Cameron (mentioned earlier) won a premiership.

[bornadog]

Pickering getting very close to the nets

[Eastdog]

I believe that is on the corner of Stephen and Castlemaine Streets in Yarraville.
