There are so many whining [censored] on this forum..

Yep........

Why are all of you thanking these guys for their reports?

It's an outdated concept known as common courtesy. It used to be a bedrock of modern civilisations.

Clearly you weren't there, therefor you can't take anything from these reports, why bother reading them, let alone thanking them.

And Watts bashing? Really? Compared to what idiots have said about this kid all I did was tickle his chin.

Fair dinkum some of you are so precious.

And in response to me disregarding or ignoring any positives about Watts, no.

I know he can take a grab, I know he has better skills than most on our list, I do not worry about these things. no less an historical figure as BenHur points out,

I worry about his drive to be the best he can possibly be, a comment in here made me voice that worry.

If that's a bashing, best arrest me for murdering Cameron Bruce and Nathan Jones.

As they said in the famous "Grim Reaper" Monty Python sketch: "What a strange man"??!!

Thanking someone for making an offering or giving, as no less an historical luminary as Ben Hur points out, is just a common courtesy.

Now one may argue against some points made in a report, especially were one fortunate enough to have been also able to observe, but at least be grateful that someone has made the effort to report.

I will add my many thanks to all who get there and have the time, ability and inclination to share their views.

These maybe not always in agreement with our own preconceived thoughts, or even with our observations, but an opinion none the less.

Thanks.

JW simply has a demeanor that makes it look like he's coasting. Other sportsman that spring to mind are Pete Sampras and Tracy McGrady. .........................

............ and Liam Jurrah!


I think what DA is getting at is that we are all thanking people for a training report through their biased eyes, not a training report by an expert.

Therefore conclusions on reality cannot be taken by Land training reports.

On that I agree.

But I am more than happy for people to post them, and I thank them for driving down and sharing their views, however biased.

what does it cost you to type out the words "appreciate the effort"?

even if you disagree at least you have something to disagree with.

the photos taken from past trainings seem to indicate that plenty of people rock up to training, up here 200 rocked up for the gold coast suns beach session, but only a handfull take the time to actually write up a report.

THANK YOU TO THOSE THE WRITE REPORTS

if your going to make negative comments make them about a specific view, don't make people not want to post otherwise you're ruining it for the rest of us

FFS, I made a comment, based on someone elses comment, and people seem to think that if I wasn't there, I shouldn't comment. I was having a crack at those people, not the people who write the reports. I'm very apreciative of the reports, and often post my thanks.

Didn't think I would need to explain the obvious to the oblivious, I'll be sure to tone down my sarcasm next time.

  • 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.
