I've often wondered about the correlation between Craig Cameron's recruiting 'work' with us and his subsequent 'success' rate with The Tigers... he's the common denominator at both teams .

Perhaps someone with more time than me on their hands could plot a graph of hits and misses with recruiting under his watch.. I suspect it won't be flattering.

The people who disagree have the same right to respond as Joeboy does in the first place. It's called healthy discussion.

Joeboy is not really enhancing his reputation by getting all shirty about it.

On the contrary ,I've enhanced my reputation in the eyes of my wife and children by NOT 'getting all shirty about it'

I love a robust discussion as much as the next guy, but I've made a conscious decision to almost never argue back here against a contrary opinion to mine, because this is such a subjective thread.

The only time I'll make a defensive retort is when my antagonist argues unreasonably without respecting my right to an opinion.

Not only am I condescending, but I am also a curmudgeon, prone to pedantry and worst of all  - a lickspittle  - that still doesn't make me wrong.

I'm even more impressed that you're able to utilize a thesaurus 

Thank you for your condescending ' I quite like your 3 word analysis'.. I value your opinion highly

Paul Roos (twice), Rodney Eade and Adam Simpson have all given Tyson votes in the past two games. He had the most of any player vs West Coast and equal most again against the Suns. That means all of them agreed he was in the best 3 players on the ground, both weeks. You know you're spinning in the mud when multiple, experienced coaches disagree with you. I'm sure they've all played at a higher level than you, making their opinion 'more valid', as you put it, than yours.

Frankly I don't give a damn!

The fact that Lynch was given equal top votes completely validates my argument that the coaches were struggling to find worthy players

Correct

Oh look, Tyson polled another eight coaches votes: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-01/aflca-votes-round-19

But you know, "continually butchered disposals". What would Roos and Eade know?

This reflects more on the fact that there were no obvious worthy players, other than Watts.

i don't suppose you're amongst that special group of Demonlanders who never question Roos' game day decisions????? He's ALWAYS right!!!!

So Tyson got votes On SEN, The Age, The HS and was named in the 3 best on the AFL.

So I will ask - did you watch the game ?

It is not that I disagree that Tyson's disposal can improve but I would suggest that for some reason your dislike of Tyson blinds you to what he brings to the side.

If Tyson was Usain Bolt, after winning the 100 metres at the Olympics you would comment that he "chews with his mouth open". 

I'd go as far as to say that I think Tyson is one of the most overrated footballers I've seen at the club, and I don't care less about votes given by media journalists.. I've been watching AFL or playing at a high standard of football for nearly 48 years , so I think my observations are more valid than most , and at the end of the day they're MY opinions... if you disagree so vehemently then start your own thread, after all you seem to enjoy seeing your own name in lights so often

Nooooo I wouldn't...it wasn't  a perfect game by any stretch but he was in our top 3 players and I suspect when all the "experts" have their say most will put him in their votes.

So you don't think he regularly butchered the ball?

I put my money on Tyson being "prolific but wasteful"...damn...

If you watched the game you'd agree with me

5 - Frost ( could become an elite running back man)

4 - Stretch ( one of the few , other than Watts, who could find targets)

2 - Jetta ( reliable and clean all game)

1 - Hunt ( loved his endeavour and attitude)

N.Jones - playing under duress

Vince - lost the edge

Hogan - seemingly without passion

Watts - perfect clutch player

Petracca - keep it simple

Brayshaw - regularly wrong decisions

Gawn - prolific without dominating

Tyson - continually butchered disposals

Stretch - valuable running game

Kent - conditions didn't suit?

Hunt - played with dash

O.McDonald - played to limitations

Garlett - another poor game

vandenBerg - took his chances

Jetta - safe and reliable

Wagner - scary with ball

Well, it must please you that everyone respects your daily ramblings too.. frankly I don't care what people think of mine, as evidenced by my rare retorts to criticism

So you had isocam on Tyson? Surely you would have also seen the excellent blocking etc, which don't get stats?

Absolutely I did, but I regarded the slow offloading and turnovers as more significant , and therefore I classified Tyson's game accordingly!

I noted 12 clangers by Tyson whilst watching the replay, directly related to his unwillingness to take the first option.. I stand by my claims and am not swayed by possession numbers, unlike some others here
