Banfield misquoted?

Submitted by Dolphin on
Surely Peter Banfield must have been misquoted in the VFL preview in the Herald Sun today. Whilst Pete appears to make a habit of making outlandish statements, based soley on his own dillusions, not even he could consider Casey fields the "Lexus Centre of the VFL". How can a state of the art indoor facilty the size of the Collingwood facility be compared to a still to be completed pavillion in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing but wind and rain? Surely he couldn't have said that!

:D Very good! Casey Fields - if you are going from Cranbourne turn right just past the paddock with the cows and horses in it and just before you cross the disused rail line. It's very easy to find!!!!

Dolphin and Footy man if you can look past your bias and your penchlant for your lack of knowledge and your capacity just to continue to bag the new Casey Scorps ground you might come to see that this facility that is the size of the MCG,AND THE SURFACE TO RIVAL THE G, will be a lot better than your rabbit burrow down at Frankston.Lights that you will be able to play night footy on and if you ever have the opportunity to go in behind the Scorps dinning room and see the view and the scorps training room where you will have a state of the art weights room.As well throw in also hot and cold Tubs that are controlled by thermosat and a meeting room that has stae of the art electronic equipment as well as seperate medical rooms as well as a locker room that has the same lockers built by the same people that are in the Lexas Centre.Maybe on a VFL level it will be. Perhaps his statement was so that he can let people know that if you are a good junior this is the place to play ,not like your club dolphin that has to pinch players and play over the odds just to win a flag.Bye the way when did you last win a flag in this comp.? SORRY WE CANNOT REMEMBER. sAM

When I stop laughing, I'll get back to you. But in the meantime, how the hell are you going to play football on the lights? So he really did say that? Gee, I though it was a misquote.

OK, I've settled down now and I can see the logic. You've explained the whole thing well there Sam. Obviously what he meant was that it has "a locker room that has the same lockers built by the same people that are in the Lexas Centre." As for Frankston paying (I assume you meant paying, not "playing") over the odds, learn a bit before you sling that garbage. I'm not sure about the "pinching players" bit, but if you care to enlighten us all, maybe I can let you have a bit of reality. At least this Scorpion mob are consintent with their persecution complex. Wake up, nobody was bagging the facility, I have said a million times that it will be good for the competition. Just don't get ahead of yourselves, thats all.

Depends on your age Sam. If you were old enough you might remember it (I say "might" because I'm old enough but I can't remember it). If you check the record books you can find they won one (yes, just one) in 1978.

Ah noobies, dontcha just love 'em when they come to a messageboard, puffin' out their chest, and have absolutely no idea of messageboard etiquette. Gotta be a primary school kid as high schoolers know to at least put a space between sentences. Sam, a word of advice, proofread your posts before submitting.[/quote] :lol: :lol: Thats pretty harsh. He was all excited about playing on the lights and you just cut him down.

Have it on very good authority the Casey mob tried to approach a Dolphins player.
