Rubbish.



Check. Mate.

Yeah, but that was on opposite day.

 

[King Corey]

Yeah, but that was on opposite day.

Yeh? Was this on opposite day too??

I really want us to go for Archie Perkins at pick 2. Hear me out. Long hair, tanned and has chutzpah and wears a hat so well. I'm in love.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Yeh? Was this on opposite day too??

You know how I feel about chutzpah.

We're actually just getting to know each other.

Unnecessary sexual pun.

I'm not taking any credit away from Souup's input and I was one of the first few here that were applauding his analysis over & above the usual suspects very early in the piece. I'm not in competition with the bloke, because I knew that he gets "it".

Smoocher also has a very good handle on analysing youth. These blokes have the ability to sum up quality traits................and so do I. I don't remember either of them singling out "anticipation" or "quarterback" traits, but I'm not claiming that makes me a better analyst than either of them either.

Pykie gets a lot of rave reviews, but he's really a numbers man. This has it's place, but it's inferior to the experienced eye test.

Massive case of flogstradamus.

you have some good insight at times, the carry on prevents the rightful accolades.

As long as you KNOW.

I can live without the medals.

Yeah mate it blew us away thats for sure, but when I thought about it I couldn’t recall a time he got caught holding the ball. Yes he had crazy lateral movement and a mad vertical leap and he didnt really get a lot of the ball playing in a forward pocket, but when he did he made good things happen before the opposition reacted.

Now if you transfer that awareness into an inside/outside midfielder who gets it 35 times a game then that’s scary..

Scary in a good way.

Just take it as read that I'm always right when it comes to football.

Haha youd have retained Mitch Hibberd over Jed Anderson

His marking isn't particularly good. Small hands means he double grabs a lot.

Looks bigger at the trough though...

Drunk gambling addicts at the pub always tell everyone about their one big winner for the day, but fail to mention the other 20 loses they had that day.

Was it Powell that loose that insaaane handball out of defensive 50 to Cunnington that led to Lazzaro's goal?

 

[DrZaius]

He's very quickly becoming an important player for us. Unreal hands make him the perfect linkman.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Was it Powell that loose that insaaane handball out of defensive 50 to Cunnington that led to Lazzaro's goal?

Yes

 

[Devington]

Was it Powell that loose that insaaane handball out of defensive 50 to Cunnington that led to Lazzaro's goal?

Absolutely it was. He was shaping up for a shorter handball to someone else then saw Cunners with space and bang. Away we went.

 

[Roosurgence]

A player in his third game has more game sense than our Captain, enough said.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Yes

Good. I'm glad I only tuned in for that 30 seconds. How did the rest of the game go?

 

[Flawed Genius]

We won
