Hannabal

There are degrees of everything. He's a notch below quite a number, but is thereabouts. And so is our David Neitz.

You can please yourself. It's not an argument I can be bothered with, and I know that you can talk and talk and talk. You'll wear me down When I was young and girls spoke too much I'd... Nah, forget it.

Don't tell jikajika.

I hate co-captains. It's about the only thing that Leigh Matthews has done with which I disagree.

I absolutely agree, or agree absolutely. Palmer is Paul Hasleby reincarnate. Hasleby played 21 games as an 18 year old in his first year and averaged 21.4 possessions. He ultimately won the Norwich Rising Star Award. In comparison Palmer averages 22. Palmer is obviously a very good young player, but don't expect much more upside. Morton has only reached the tip of the iceberg.

Oh dear, every time you open your gob a 14 inch foot gets nervous. Keep up the predictions. You're good for the game

Poor disposal and decision making is a consequence of a lack of confidence and doubting that one belongs, or that the body can match the minds willingness. Extra weight and strength goes a long way to rectifying confidence and the associated symptons. But yes, I see the 'joke' and know that you know all this.

Correct. Now edited. And it's Naitanui.

He gets in the right positions, oozes class, and is a scrawny 18 year old. I can't believe the expectations of footy stupid supporters. One of the highlights of the year.

He's ok.

He's talking about the Carnival. Fyi

Richardson won them the game tonight. From those that regularly watch Naitanui they say that he won't play as a first ruck, but more a 200cm ruck/midfielder that can push forward. He'll take the centre square then play a Goodes type role. You're pigeon holing Nicknat as a ruck due to understandable ignorance. You're a Melbourne boy, aren't you ? Anyway, you're wasting your time on the Rich bandwagon. Melbourne will have first pick and they will take Naita. We may as well stop the arguments now. Your dissention has been duly noted.

I've never discussed their finals prospects. Frankly, the club doesn't interest me. Bland in the extreme. Last time I checked they weren't in the eight.

I said less than 5 wins, but I see your point. Confusing though ? Only if you're stupid. Oh yes, I see what you mean.

What were their expectations this year coming off a prelim last year ? They won't even play finals. The way you carry on about them you'd swear you were on their payroll.

So many seem confused by such a simple rule. Two consecutive years of less than 5 wins gains a priority pick before the first round. However, one year with less than 5 wins gains a priority pick prior to the second round. So we can still gain a pp, but it will be before the second round, but still valuable as it will be top 20.

They were brimming with that old 'spirit' against the competition's laughing stock today, eh Hards ?

Due to their one extra win and superior percentage we need to win 2 games and them not win any in order for them to usurp us. Presently they certainly appear our biggest threat.

Brilliant !!

Nicknat's getting closer Freakster.

Gotcha

You'll get what you're given. And the excluded middle is 'output to date', not some fanciful argument built on fairy floss, that in a more welcoming and cuddly environment he may produce a different level of performance. You're selling short the contributions given to him by this club over 5 years. I've seen all I need to see. Could I be wrong ? Of course. I also reckon you're a Homosexual. Could I be wrong ? Doubtful.

OK, I took the bait and read this tedious thread. Where have my views been unequivocally refuted ? You state that Bruce can't kick, Wheatley dislikes physicality, and that Bell struggles with decision making. Ground breaking stuff. I wish I'd said all that 2 years ago. Oh, hang on... Bell also has terrible lateral movement. He's ok in a straight line, until, of course, he's run down from behind, but he has no natural footy instincts to set up play from defence, he has poor awareness, and a very limited footy brain, hence your assertion that he's the best coming out of the backline of the 3 is extremely flawed. Travis Johnstone is as thick as a brick, but when he's on the footy field the play opens up before him as if it's in slow motion, with Bell it's on fast forward, although I'd prefer it was on rewind. That said, I don't like any of the 3 setting up off half back. And btw, Wheatley isn't an elite kick. The mechanics look great and one in ten he'll spot up a superbly weighted 50 metre pass to seduce the likes of your good self, but all too often he turns it over by foot - usually sailing over the targeted players head. And why does he turn it over my Pentridge pal ? Pressure. Would those same targets be hit at training ? Absolutely. There's more to being an elite kick than the mechanics, the mind is of uppermost importance. Thanks for wasting 10 minutes of my time.

WTF is Occo ? I don't read long threads Cocksnot. My views are my views.
