Daniher will be better than Moore IMO. Cameron, Hogan and Daniher will be the best 3 key forwards by a mile.

This is excellent. Collingwood fans get so ******* spewed after just 1-2 bad games. FFS, he hasn't played AFL footy in so long. Has never got a good run of games to get used to AFL footy.
Remember Jamie Elliott? He was ******* s**t! But Bucks gave him more and more and more games, and then he eventually got there. He is doing the same with other young players like Moore, Maynard etc.
People on this board have to big expectations ... would like to see one of you guys go onto the field and see how many touches you guys can get.

Looks good, but doesn't yet have the runs on the board. Noone up the top of the goal kicking table is particularly tall.

Interesting point. The two best young KPFs, Hogan and Cameron, are 195 and 196cm. That's always seemed a pretty ideal height for a tall forward to me. No doubt the fact that I'm 195cm influences that! Trav is 196. Buddy 196. Hawkins 197.
Once you push over 200 you start sacrifice a bit in terms of that speed/agility/power ratio.
Unless you're Thon Maker (look him up if you guys doing know who I mean). How the AFL scouts let basketball pouch him I don't know.

LOL writing off Moore as if he won't reach those heights as if it's an absolute. Why do we have so many 'realists' who feel the need to write off or downplay our list. Many Essendon supporters reckon that Daniher won't be the superstar they hope he will become and I don't remember him kicking a bag of five goals in his third game like Moore did either.
Truth is there's a long, long way to go, No-one could have foreseen the two knee-reconstructions that happened to Patton, if Daniher ends up a better player than Moore it will likely be better in the eye of the beholder, there probably won't be much that separates them.[/QUOTE]
Bit harsh on Elliott. Got 15 tackles in his second game or so IIRC

I remember that, don't think it was his second game though. Point is he wasn't that good, and I remember people hating on him and asking ''why is Elliott still on the team?'' when he was in his 10th game or something. Point is I don't believe ''he will never be an AFL player'' that some people are saying. And the negativity of some people on this board also annoys me.
You're comparing a 1st year player to a 3rd year player.
People saying Kennedy had a bad game are just being realists. If you want to bury your head in the sand and blatantly lie saying he had a decent game, or just forget the game even happened, then good for you.
Also isn't whinging about other people's post decidedly negative, something you detest in the first place?

Just remembered BK is sponsored by this board, so slagging him off takes on much greater significance than the usual abuse of players, since he is much more likely to read this.
good work guys!

I can't comment on what everyone else thought of Jamie Elliott, but imo he always showed a lot more signs that he was AFL quality than Kennedy has. Same with Moore and Maynard. I think you can already see AFL qualities showing through. Kennedy might just end up a Jamie Siddons. Good VFL player who struggles to take the next step. I hope Kennedy comes good but he's behind the 8 ball imo.

No, I asked him in 2014 if he reads Bigfooty. He doesn't but did say he's sure some of the players would sneak on Bigfooty to read.Just remembered BK is sponsored by this board, so slagging him off takes on much greater significance than the usual abuse of players, since he is much more likely to read this.
good work guys!
Might be why some of them are down on confidence, esp if they read the game day thread .... Lol

If he has a 25+ possession outing tomorrow just promote him and leave him there.

Did Siddons even get a chance to take the next step?

Too small for his preferred position in the middle, shits himself in front of goal when forward. At the present, he looks like he isn't going to make it.

Hopefully we move him on over the off season......
