Could not agree more. Colin Sylvia was pick number 3. If people agree that Brock McLean is good, then surely they must hold some hope for Colin, particularly after a 4 goal game. Not to mention 3.3 vs. Collingwood. I seem to remember him being one of our best players in the pre-season comp, as well as the first few rounds of this year. He will be good.
The thing about Jamar which I love is he absolutely knows his limitations. His only kick went out on the full, but every other time he ever touched the ball, he handballed it on to another - usually much more talented player. I would much prefer a Jamar taking a contested possession which he offloads to another, than White taking twenty dinky little uncontested ones that have come from - and go to - nowhere.
Ditto. BTW, the minutes after he kicked that goal were the most gut-wrenching of my life. Also, this is the kind of awesomely pointless topic I love. Keep, 'em coming!
I'm not going to post each player's actual number, but here are the averages that I've arrived at for the Dees.
Average* = 43.37
Average (best 22) = 37.46
*David Neitz not included, as he has retired.
May not mean anything yet, but
Carlton's Average = 42.27
Carlton's Average (best 22) = TBA
Will edit tomorrow after further sleep and analysis.
This is a wierd midweek thread. Usually a player will play a blinder and everybody and their dog will post their own "OMGZORG" message claiming the player as the next god. Then, as the player returns to normal form the next week, everybody bags the crap out of them. Is Brockie good? Bloody oath. Has he arrived? No more today than yesterday or Sunday arvo.
Absolutely. I don't think there's a bigger fan of Ben Holland than me, and I'll be sad when he retires - despite him not being the most talented player in the side, he does try. And more often than not, he gets the job done. Workman-like, as much as I hate the expression.
James McDonald. If not him (because of age), then Brad Miller. He's good enough to get a game and appears to bring a great culture and work-ethic to the Club. What he loses for lack of talent, he (in my opinion) makes up for in enthusiasm and dedication. Flame away.
I've been reading some of your recent posts, Rhino and, boy, do you have a bug up your arse recently. Which is a shame, because most of the time what you say is pretty spot on. Remember to always look on the bright side of life, buddy.
