Opinion Commentary and media

[IschenkoUBeauty]

Never be more than a 2nd ruckman that kicks 25 goals a season and averages about 15-20 hitouts a game.

Yep. Garbage. Jack Watts has copped his share of s**t over his career for his performances, yet NicNat escapes scrutiny time after time. A media darling.

I agree with Ralphy on this one. NicNat for the hype he gets, has probably got to be one of the most overrated players in the AFL. He does the spectacular on occasion, but he is nowhere near consistent, but lets forgive that because he is an 'excitement machine'. Finished ninth in WCE's best and fairest...and they had an average year on the field because they are an average side.

Yeah, I think NicNat is overrated too.

I was just annoyed that Fox was making some attempt at having a half-decent football analysis show and had to screw it up by allowing on a muppet like Ralph to make a sensationalised headline grab. There are already too many shows on air delivering that kind of rubbish.

And Daw copes more crap than Nic and others, but NicNat will never kick 7 in a game.

This is why l would love for Daw to make it, to at least 50 games and show why the criticisms of him (whilst many are valued) are overlooked when they are discussing Nic Nat.

Lack of credit to Jason Dunstall in this thread i reckon. The most well informed special comments person out of those currently on radio/TV. His opinion is usually always bang on

He and Duck are far and away the best.

Used to love watching them together on Saturday Central on the old Fox Footy.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

How the football media can call the player THEY have freaking built up overrated is beyond me.

The 3rd part of the trio isnt going too well at the moment just quietly

Who's that?

[Kangaroos4eva]

Sloobo the hutt put Goldy, then Harvey and Cunners in his top 50 players. People voted on these 50 and most said all of our players were overrated, ffs Harvey was ranked in the mid 30s and people said he was overrated, offended campaigners that they are.

 

[Phillyroo]

Some of the comments on the fb page I saw around this were hilarious!!!! There were loads who didn't know who Cunners was, and suggested he shouldn't be in the top 200.

Agreed. Very knowledgeable about all teams and is extremely well-spoken for an ex-footballer. He's always come across to me as a genuinely intelligent guy and he's a good media performer too.

Going to FB for half decent opinions was your mistake.

I didn't expect to get half decent opinions, in fact I don't flow any of that crap on FB. It came up on my news feed because some tool I know commented that Jordan Lewis was overrated. I agree wit you btw, FB is horrifically bad for any footy news or opinion.

Fair enough.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Caught a bit of AFL 360. Won't watch again in a hurry. That nice Mr Roos is full of it. And the other panellist is Bucks.

Watching On the Couch. Browney is sensational. Speaks his mind in no uncertain terms. Makes Iron Mike look like a wet lettuce leaf. Must viewing!!

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I keep thinking 'Brown' is Campbell. But I know my mistake.

Yep, a breath of fresh air to have a straight shooter on the panel.

Loved Open Mike with Brownie tonight too.

 

[kangaspurs]

Agree with the above, Browny was fantastic on both On the Couch and in Open Mike. Having Dunstall and Brown on the former makes it a great show if you can get past the infuriating Gerard Healy. I actually enjoy 360 as well, Whately's one of the best going around in my opinion, Monday nights will be rubbish with Buckley and Roos though.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

The round table interview with Scott was really well done, speaks so well and Wheatley was all class as always in my book.

 

[Contra Mundum]

Agreed. Very knowledgeable about all teams and is extremely well-spoken for an ex-footballer. He's always come across to me as a genuinely intelligent guy and he's a good media performer too.

His is not fellating anyone in AFL house either

I Really Respect Gary Lyon's Opinion BECAUSE he said North can win the FLAG........

 

[kangaspurs]

I always thought Brad Johnson was ok, similar to others he got excited far too easily and said a lot of obvious stuff without really meaning anything at all, but still ok. But, now he's tipped North to win the flag this year he's one of my favourites and everything he says is absolutely spot on.
