  1. You are kidding right? Should have hit him on the [censored] without question. But if you really believe that was good play by Cale rather than a mistake then it tells me all I need to know about your opinions.
  2. Hey, even I acknowledge his last two games he has put a lot more effort into his play. I have no doubt he has been told what he has to do. Rawlings said he didn't have the trust of the players over summer and he looks like he is working to rebuild that. I so want him to be a good player who puts in week in week out. It's simply that I am at my wits end because he has been given chance after chance. And many of us have been disappointed time and time again with insipid efforts. So here's hoping I and many others here are proven wrong.
  3. Sure sure. What about Cale's mis-directed 3 metre handpass to Brent Moloney when we were surging against the Dogs in the final quarter?? That wouldn't count in your definition of disposal efficiency would it. But of course his skills are elite aren't they? Where are your facts then buddy?
  4. Cook actually looks like a smart player in the Watts mould. Excellent ball use and great kick for goal. The more we build a team around structures, the more we need smart players to carry out the instructions I reckon..
  5. The injury issues are a furphy. His attitude pre-dates his injury. Very happy Mick M is mentoring Aaron though as at his best he can be a devastating player.
  6. Was chatting with someone who watched Jack play on the weekend for school. He was super impressed with his skill level and he was a clear stand out player. Probably helped by the fact that he is doing some training with the Dees etc but there is no doubt he will be a very good player...
  7. 90% of people don't understand statistics. The other 50% don't care.
  8. Disgraceful but not unexpected for Golden Boy or this incompetent and inconsistent MRP. He's the new Chris Judd. hits players with impunity.
  9. Nice try but not even close. Pure hyperbole and wishful thinking. Average disposals 2008 18.4 2009 22.7 2010 20.9 2011 16.1 Averages 1.7 tackles over his career. Pathetic for a backman or any player for that matter. Problem is how he gets em (typically as a loose man), what he does with em (typically turns over 40%) and what he does when he doesn't have the ball (doesn't run, tackle and chase). Oh, and its his 5th year on the list with 67 games. We expect a lot better than he gives us. You should too.
  10. Easier to go to game analyser and click on marks inside 50. The Reiwoldt mark is the one you are talking about .
  11. It is undoubtedly illegal. Maggots are getting worse. Watched the WCE / Rich game and saw some appalling frees. 1. a free kick for abusive languange? Maybe a report but a free? Didn't know there was a rule on that, 2. numerous frees to WCE for sliding down in a tackle - Selwood, Herr, Shuey the worst offenders Can't remember the others but there were at least 5 others that were blatantly wrong or missed
  12. Jones is 24yo and has played 119 games. Should be coming into his prime and with some help around him will be a rock in our midfield for some years ahead. Our past problems have been around players that have good games and then go missing, COnsistent mids have been in short supply around the Dees. This criticising him have rocks in their head. Committed, dedicated, fearless, tough, professional and someone you would want in the trenches. Just think we gave brad Miller 130 games and he is not a patch on this kid
  13. Fact?? Be careful what you are saying D Man. Are you referring to the Davey/indiginous stuff spread by Mifsud? If not and you are talking about the old guard of players then I couldn't be happier. They have proven themselves not capable of leading this club. They have a choice now of getting behind the new coach and direction or being de-listed. If 186 was really a player revolt (or a weird way of showing they love Dean Bailey) then the sooner we are rid of these cancerous, treacherous souls the better. Do you really mean "fact"? Please explain.....
  14. Thanks for the laugh this morning, Great post. What a comedian.
  15. The team gave a great effort tonight. 100 tackles and pure commitment, They just didn't have the finishing skills but as one who has been highly critical of the team's effort I was thrilled with it tonight, I just can't see why there is such a gulf week to week in their intensity. If they gave that every week I'd be happy.
  16. Care to revise your statement Jose after Jordie shut down Goddard? After Griffen last week? Like sauce with your humble pie?
  17. He is needed to play on the Clokes of this world...no-one else has the strength,
  18. Wow you are a genius aren't you. Try Ryan Griffen last weekend.
  19. Your argument is blown out of the water by the fact that in one summer Hird and Bomber got them close to a NAB cup final and winning the first 4 games of the year. They ran out of gas half way through the year but this crud about changing game plan takes 3 or 4 years was disproven then and there. We were shiite when Bailey came in and when he left but we have gone backwards since DB left. Its scary and the players are dicing with the life of a football cub. If they don't want to commit then get rid of em.Turn em over I say. The latest Roos article says 19 of the players from the 2010 smashing of the Swans are still on our list, the 186 game says our players are running the asylum. They are clearly responsible for dishing out insipid weak performances week in week out. ABout time they wore some heat from long suffering fans.
  20. When did he injure his wrist? Rd 20 last year? How can that have hampered his fitness SOOOOO much that he can't run around in the magoos?? He can still run...
  21. Ha. Fantastic! Morton doesn't do any of those things, let alone well. Bail and Jordie can shut down players and have a dip. Yet to see it from wonder boy.
  22. LJ tells Neeld he needs another week?? WHAT???? How can he not be fit enough?????? WTF?? He has had a wrist injury. And been running for months.. This is bizarre in the extreme, Surely he can canter around in the Casey team and he would still beat everyone there?? I don't get it. Very fishy to me.
