Non-Lions Footy Discussion 2014

[jackess]

It was noticeable on Thursday night how much we missed Hanley, and some genuine speed.

Yeah Hanley's better than both of them but we desperately need someone else who's quick.

Fevola blasts Carlton for its trades (Judd/Kennedy/Thomas).

http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/fo...ffield-decisions/story-fndv8f7j-1226889783899

...they went out and spent $700,000-a-year for four years on Dale Thomas.

Also involved in expensive trades that don't work out for clubs: Brendan Fevola.

... that wasnt what Fevola was talking about.

He who seeks equity, must seek it with clean hands.

Read the article mate.

FORMER Carlton ace Brendan Fevola has taken aim at his old club, criticising the decision to recruit Dale Thomas.

“If the Blues didn’t have the money, then fair enough, let him go.

“But they went out and spent $700,000-a-year for four years on Dale Thomas.

“He may take the occasional specky and get his 15 touches but so what?

“He won’t win you a game off his own boot.”

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the article about players who cost clubs a lot of money and don't work out for that club?

Next time I'll go ahead and read the article.

Pavlich has to be one of my all time favourite non-Lions player.

*sigh* l understand you are trying to back up your mate, but you are wrong. He was talking about the eddie betts trade. The carlton fc could have kept betts if they had payed him what he wanted. The article was talking about betts wanted more money, which carlton didnt pay, so he left to Adelaide to get the money. He was talking the reasons behind carlton not paying betts.
“If the Blues didn’t have the money, then fair enough, let him go.

“But they went out and spent $700,000-a-year for four years on Dale Thomas.”

He wasn’t criticizing Thomas exactly, he was criticizing cfc for the reason they let betts go.

 

[James North]

If it's one thing you must know, it's that Haso is incapable of having his own opinion.

*sigh* l understand you are trying to back up your mate, but you are wrong. He was talking about the eddie betts trade.

You may recall that our team (The Brisbane Lions) were involved in a trade involving Lachie Henderson and Brendan Fevola.

Now, apply that to the article, rinse and stir.

I give this post a 'Like', not because it is at all clever, but for its accuracy and the amount of work gone into it.

That has nothing to do with the article.

“But they went out and spent $700,000-a-year for four years on Dale Thomas.”

Soo, criticising deals where too much money is spent (mis-spent)? You should have finished that quote;

“He may take the occasional specky and get his 15 touches but so what?

“He won’t win you a game off his own boot.”

Too much money for not nearly enough return.
I would take Betts over Thomas too, but Fev took a lot of money too (like Thomas) for no return.

It's because they're part of "The Clique". (Click? Cliche?) Group thing.

The article was about the eddie betts deal, he did make a remark about Thomas but the articles main point is about eddie betts.

 

[Ironmonger]

While this discussion is fascinating, I'd prefer to talk about Nathan Fyfe.

32 touches tonight, and a handful of great highlights, particularly with his marking.

But boy his kicking is terrible. I'd be interested in what his turnover count was, but I'd be more interested in how many times Freo turned it over within two or three touches of Fyfe having the ball. Always seems to sell his teammates into trouble, and it never seems to get any better.

 

[Skoob]

Haso is in the white:

He is pretty.

 

[Haso]

That has nothing to do with the article.

We know that the article doesn't have anything to do with Brisbane, but James was drawing parallels between the article content and the fact that Fev himself ended up being a trade blunder himself.

You're super quick with the trigger there friendo.

I keep singing "walking on the beaches looking at the peaches" and just may be incapable of watching the game
