Now that Brock has left the club, his critics are finally emerging from the shadows. As I wrote in my reply to the "Loss of Brock" thread, does this mean there are many other favourite sons at the club you're secretly not rating?

If so, who are they?

Come on, let it all out - they may be here a lot longer than Brock was... it'll be therapeutic, I promise...

(balls time)

I hope borrowing this thread from Demonology is ok. I think it's a good discussion to have during these lean times.

I dont think this is the case at all. If you go through the threads this year everybody had a shot at slagging off brock.

Sure but it certainly spread and intensified after he went to carlton. The main point of the thread being who else don't you rate who may have so far avoided the griller, or has at least not been completely burnt by it yet.

I'll give an example to help us get started.

Tapscott - one trick pony, albeit a big one. The side doesn't need 2 Brent Moloney's, barely enough room for 1. Recruited to keep Trengove happy and that's fine by me.

Easy there RI, Tapscott is my favourite. Pick someone else will you.

Big Statement there...

You need a Bex and a lie down Roost.

What makes you think pick 18 in a weak draft will be any better than Moloney. Chances are he won't be and if that's the case he won't last 3 years.

Awesome, a thread to have a go at current players of the MFC.

Far out, this place needs to close down over Summer methinks.

He will Last Longer than you Roost-This thread is a disgrace, and should be deleted.

Dissing a guy before he has played a game....Very Poor Form.

Pathetic statement. Why don't you have a go at someone that has actually played a game.

Tool

Roost it i think you may have had a few too many pre new-years drinks, (2west coast coolers)

this thread is....

Unwarranted

Unneeded

it's just [censored]....

Big Call.

He has better disposal than Moloney - although Billy is one of my favourites, I always thought his kicking was only average.

Beyond that, I don't think we've seen enough of Tapscott to compare their games, the speculation is based on them both having a similar build.

I do worry that his physique may have allowed Tapscott to manhandle the other kids in the juniors, but I'm happy to wait and be proved wrong.

I've never rated Bruce as highly as everyone else. I wouldn't care if he left. I definitely overrated Brock (see sig.).

I don't care if Tapscott's only as good as Moloney. I love Moloney. I wouldn't mind if we had 4 or 5 of him.

I'd agree. I don't think he offers the club all that much, but that's just me and I accept that the club probably sees a lot of things in him that I don't.

Either way, I think he is over-rated and he's been a source of frustration the past 3 seasons.

Maybe I expect too much of him.

Overrated by whom exactly? He gets bagged from arsehole to breakfast on here and Demonology. More than anyone else on the list I'd say.

I'd say the problem is that he was overrated early in his career and that has skewed many peoples' perceptions of him completely.

Refrain that everbody to "nearly everybody"

I'm still devestated he left.

I think he's criticized by people like myself, but that we are in the minority.

Some seem to think he can do no wrong, and in my eyes his flaws are glaringly obvious to the point where I sometimes think he's a liability.

Could someone send this quote in a message to jayceebee31? :D

Oh good, I can see this degenerating into yet another Bruce/Miller/Newton/Bell bagging threads. At least Sylvia has stepped up, Robertson has been retired and McLean is at Carlton, so there are three less names.

At least a few people will feel like heroes at the end before taking their hands out of their pants.

Don't worry Axis, there's a few rookies/new draftees to slag off in the name of "passing time"

Mine is Tom Scully, Oh wait its actually Jack Watts....

Johnson

Newton

Would think only contractual reasons are why they are still at the club

I would be very surprised these 3 are demons in 2011

Well built long goal kicking marking half forward flanker is good enough to get in my team thanks very much

I really dont think our FD plays politics with your Trengove analysis and " jobs for the boys"

I am realy looking forward to Tapscott,s development as i think he can be very important part of our forward line for years to come

I would like to throw Scully's hat into the ring for having an ugly sister.

the previous #1 pick Jack had two very attractive sisters

talking about bagging players.... i saw T. Scully swimming today. he should stick to footy.

but seriously, what happened to 'supporting' a team as 'supporters'. I don't think all the criticism of Brock was necessary, even if i wasn't personally a fan of his, but i definatly don't think we should be encorouged to bag and bring down even more players. Try looking on the bright side of life.
