James Strauss

The club drafts skinny, fragile type players who break down, they are real culture builders.

Strauss is a prime example, 16 games since being drafted in 2008.

Take your MFC culture babble elsewhere you fool.

This always amuses me - with few exceptions draftees are skinny - especially if you are talking talls. The Jono Pattons and Tapscotts are exceptions to how draftees look - not the rule.

First aside is that I dont Strauss was all that skinny - needed some growing but certainly wasnt as skinny as some draftee's

Second aside - Strauss's major injuries have been a sickening leg break and shoulder reconstruction - these hardly qualify as fragile body that keeps breaking down. Both injuries were collision injuries. you can point to continual soft tissue injuries but it is unfair to classify these injuries as a fragile body.

I remember checking out some early footage of Strauss ,Blease ,Watts and the guy from Bankstown carving it up for Vic Metro .

They dominated then and in time they will dominate again.

Have a look at you tube Vic Metro GF 2008 or 2009?

The kick Tom Mc tried acoss half back that cost us a goal would have hit the target if Straussy kicked it and would be a 12 point difference in result.

When I say the simple words "can play" or "can't play" it really means the basics skills of football.

He has them in spades.

It's actually YDKSFA which is You don't know sweet f all. But Dingaling has made his own acronym up. That seems to be a trend with this particular poster who's found an incredible way to post ridiculous comments with no credibility at all.

Never fear fail troll is fail.

I've just assumed it's You Don't Know S*** About Footy.

Which is kinda ironic, since he's the one saying it...

Anyone who can kick the ball as well as Strauss is welcome to get a game.

Too many players on the list can't kick.

Needs to get a kick first
