We need a full-forward to kick 8

Featured Replies

Just when I think it's over...

You're like a monster from a bad horror movie ;)

You've proved that anyone can kick a bag of 8, but I quickly changed that to bags, which happened before you started naming names. I did this because I don't think the OP wanted a flash in the pan, I'm pretty sure they wanted someone who could do it more than once.

...and my argument is still that you don't need Jurrah-like 'X Factor' to kick bags.

That said, you've created a tautology in which 'X Factor' covers almost every player who could kick eight goals on a regular basis, so it's now a moot point.

I don't recall saying necessary to have X Factor, I'm pretty sure the word generally has been used in my posts right from the start. For my benefit, can you tell me what post number I said that?

Post #79 (emphasis added):

enough X factor to kick a bag like that...

There was no caveat in this post.

However - as I said in the post that you just quoted (!) - I entered the debate on the assumption that you meant that it was generally necessary, so it's a moot point anyway.

So, in order to fuel your disagreement, you misquoted me. Hope it made you feel superior.

I didn't misquote you.

In case you needed reminding, here's the post again:

Singular bag, no 'generally' caveat, no 'or class' caveat.

EDIT:

You did refer to bags, multiple, in your next post, although in that same post you mentioned Mark le Cras, Kennedy and Riewoldt - all who have only kicked eight or more once.

Furthermore, in later posts you reverted to referring to the ability to kick 'a bag' and 'an 8-goal bag'.

(Surely you could have just looked at your own posts before accusing me of mis-quoting you).

If you don't supply context we cannot know what you are going on about.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
