My 3 word player analysis v Gold Coast

[Pennant St Dee 13,173]

Viney: Is a God

Jones: A demi God

Watts: A super human

Kent: Is a human

Nicho: Is a parasite

Really poor form when talking about one of our players, he may not have the best disposal and bad decision making, but you can never question his effort for the club. Warrants a bit more than being referred to as a parasite.

Have a good look at yourself

I think Nicho could be a really good player if he were to improve his skills and decision making.

I agree PSD

We have a number of below standard players but the MFC picked them not the other way round.

I cannot fault Nicholson's effort, just disappointing he is not good enough.

Doubt that will happen Df26

Too far into his career for that IMO ,

If he has not changed by this age he won't .

23 Df26

Won't change much from here IMO.

I think he is giving it his best shot but the decision making is really hard for him to improve on, what we see is what we get with Nicho and he's done a lot more than most if not all of us on here have done. He has played AFL football.

Can't knock him for that.

[Coup Cooper 610]

Brynes - cost the game

(ie bad kicking 1 goal 5.. From a 'sharp shooter' who drops it like an Aus kicker..)

Nicho would be a good player if he could play football. He cannot Pass!!!

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,755]

yeah under rated for mine. Miss Carroll.

Didn't know Nathan Carroll had a sister. Why is she under rated?

[dee-luded 2,959]

One of the greatest footy moments of all time, was Carroll tackling and injuring Gehrig in that final. Absolute gold.

Sadly, his fall from grace since then mirrors that of our club.

The good old days of us being actually mediocre, and our biggest worry being Ben Holland's goal kicking.

Have t=you ever worked in a place & worked your butt off when others were taking the easy way about.

I wonder sometimes when the culture was so soft & lazy with one way runners just how much was frustration against those "Soft" types.

environment can create behaviours.

[Slartibartfast 17,279]

Nathan Carroll was sacked by the MFC primarily because he racially vilified a Jewish employee.

In 2006 he was close to AA selection and played great football.

He had his issues but his upbringing was less than ideal. His father was a tunnel rat in Vietnam and was profoundly effected by the experience and that impacted significantly on Nathan.

A very sad story all around and I'm just pleased I didn't have to deal with the issues confronting Nathan who for most of the time was a very decent bloke.

I heard he's doing really well in life at the moment.

I don't make player calls off the telly

but the most important thing at this stage is to see A DAVEY go out with RESPECT

having seen other clubs do this over the years I was hoping our club could do it properly and thank a good player for his services .

it better be done right

Hear, hear.

And not just the club. I'd like to see Demonlanders pay him the respect he deserves, too.

Good luck with that one

Notice Strauss had another blinder!

Oh well he will be useful at Casey in the finals

cmon old ...given 3 or 4 more preseasons Strauss will come good

Yes silly of me he has had such lousy development too.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Carroll got [censored] a few times and had a fight or to and we sacked him. Thought it was too harsh as he had a bit of mongrel unlike any of our current list bar viney and Clark.

ah yes more revisionism in which the MFC got something wrong. Carroll was a rubbish footballer, end of story.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

As bad as the Bailey recruiting was Daniher taking those 3 wastes of time was just as bad. What was wrong with instilling some mongrel into Green, Bruce, Davey, Yze etc instead of drafting in designated hard men. Geelong took a team of decent skinny kids like Stevie J, Bartlet, Kelly and built the hardness into them. That's proper coaching.

Out future backline has some hardness. So do Viney and Jones in the middle. Hogan and Dawes up forward. Kent doesn't mind it. Time we built it in to Watts, Toumpas and co this time.

tell us more about this 'mongrel instillation process'. You will be a very rich man if you claim to understand how that is achieved

theres no such thing

you cant shovel guts into a coward

no such thing as improving mongrel in players

I agree jazza by the time you reach 18 you either are one or not.

e.g Watts I think he is a good player but don't hold your breath waiting for Dermott B to emerge

He is just not that sort of person.
