Nic Nat criticisms starting to build

Featured Replies

How's Scully escaping the media wrath? Million a year, racking up 15 posses a game. Spud.

Finally one today in the HUN Pipefitter.

Not exactly a big put down like he would be getting if he was still at the MFC but a couple of interesting stats on less then wonderful figures he is producing.

 

I'll purchase all NikNat shares. The guy hasn't had one uninterrupted preseason for a few conditions. He shouldn't even be playing now with his groin.

One day AFL clubs will work out that you can take 3 steps forward if you are prepared to take 1 backward one. Melbourne should have taken one backward one after the last training before the Geelong NAB Challenge game.

The new radical treatment option of the future might be an adequate rest phase and aggravation avoidance to the main pathology.

Add Trengove and it's a shocking return from back to back picks 1 and 2

Is that the same Trengove who has been playing with a buggered foot for x months / years?

He has moved from the punching bag to the "glamor boys" at GW$, that is ho.

and a buggered shoulder apparently

Meth Coast have flogged him too hard.

Yes, if he doesn't take a break, he'll go blind and then he'll be of no use to the club at all!

His average supercoach ranking puts him 11th on the GWS list, who are 14th on the ladder

would not be in the best 100 midfielders in the comp

and i absolutely love the justice of it

I think the hun rated him 117th

Whilst I don't usually agree with threads devoted to laughing at a player's misfortune, I am quite satisfied that people are now generally cottoning on to Naitanui being an overhyped, overrated, lumbering one-trick pony.

I would not want him at this club, and I am fully aware of where Melbourne is at and what Naitanui is capable of.

Yes it is. That would constitute a poor return, wouldn't you agree?

I think he's definitely overrated but that's a bit rich. Give me Natanui over Spencer or any of the other ruckmen we have any day.

Scully, poor development or just a case that this number 1 was a good, average footballer at best? I think Scully is a good example that it is more about the cattle, than the development. I think Scully has tried to tick every box in his personal development, that is part of the reason he got the hell out of MFC as soon as his Dad could set it up. At GWS he has had every chance to develop but at the end of the day he is a super fit accumulator. What are his weapons? Not explosive speed or size, power, strength etc. He is a good accumulator of possessions without a laser like kick.

It just seems to me that everytime we have been down the bottom and in line for the early picks, there has not been that much there. Morton, Scully, Trengove, Watts for example and we could go back to 2003 re Sylvia. It could be development but I don't buy it, except maybe Sylvia who did have potential X factor skills but never applied himself.

Natanui is an exciting player who can turn a game around. Tightening one's anus has never achieved anything.

Neither has posting a cyanosed face with fangs and conjunctivitis.

That's wading in with a pretty big stick for posts 4 and 5!

Basically what I said over a year ago.

If Hogan comes up and Barry can improve to AFL standard, it will have to a deal in the Pitura mould of many years back or the Fields deal a few years later.

For those that don't know the overhyped Pitura was traded by Swans to Tigers who gave away Teasdale a Brownlow winner and Jackson who played about 200 games for the Swans and another player I have forgotten.

In the Fields deal the Swans got Fields from the Bombers who got in return the Danihers.

Both Pitura and Fields did little at their new club with Fields doing better of the two.

The GWS money man is not a shadow of the player he was hyped up to be. Wonder how quickly GWS would agree to undo the contract now. This will hurt them for several more years. Makes me smile to think about it.

Scully was never gonna live up to his paypacket

But ive seen him play a few times this year, and i see him gut running and hes gone back with the flight a few times, including one courageous mark against Melbourne

Watts has never done those things

Funny post, you have got me laughing.


jack watts - to richmond

jake carlisle - to west coast

nic nat - to melbourne

ty vickery - to essendon

we can all swap whipping boys.

and gibbs to the crows as a free agent.

Out of that group I would want Carlisle

The third player was Brian (the Whale) Roberts who was a great servant of the Swans.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
