Dean Laidley the sook

[boof1978]

Just wondering whether anyone else is frustrated with Dean Laidley being annoyed he has to travel to Adelaide 2 weeks in a row? Poor guy, his team only has to travel 5 weeks this year (other than Manuka) and he's complaining because his team has to do it two weeks straight. How has the Crows run been early on - Melbourne to play Coll'wood, then a Showdown, Sydney in Sydney then Bulldogs in Melbourne. Kangaroos have had 2 MCG games, 2 telstra dome games and a 'home game' at Manuka. And they're complaining?!?!?

Firstly welcome boof.

On to the topic at hand, I can't stand these Victorian teams that whinge about having to travel. Fair dinkum try being an interestate team that is forced to travel every second week. I hope the Crows smash the Roos to give Laidley more to whine about.

Thanks for the welcome, looks like a good sight.
I can understand the Vic's point of view at times though. THe interstate teams do get true home games 11 -12 times per year where the crowd is 95%-5%. Vic teams may get a 'home' game but if it's Collingwood 'home' and Essendon 'Away' at the MCG there is no home ground advantage. But in the same breath travel is a big factor so it does tend to balance out. Just couldn't believe he felt hard done by. I guess it's all a beat up to get the interest in this weeks game cos in Victoria no one cares about the Roos

Hadn't thought of it that way.

Well we now know why Laidley was upset about travelling to Adelaide 2 weeks in a row.

The Kangas bubble has burst.
