What is the rush for sending this thread to the graveyard of threads in Essendon History?
It's still very relevant and all it creates is unnecessary discussion in other threads or new threads being created.
What's wrong with talking about them in here?
This place has got old man stink.
Thanks for everything Slammin' Sam, but especially for this.
It shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
I just don't get the love for this guy. i know he gives 100%. But on the other hand:
- he's completely useless outside of a stoppage situation
- that means he's never gonna get the ball upwards of 18 odd times a game
- now i understand 'quality over quantity'....but his clearance work is totally over-rated. he doesn't smash his way to the ball, break a tackle, use his speed to get away and put out a great kick to a leading forward. he positions himself well, the ball lands in his leap....and he snaps a kick out. It's a clearance. It's 50/50 whether the ball stays with us. It's not good enough. A broken clock....
I just don't get the love. He's like Slattery. He was serviceable when we were shitty. He is not part of a top 4 team.
I mean, he could dramatically improve. But he's 25. I think you guys forget that. You treat him like Robert Walls treated Jarrod Waite. You know, going on about how this kid could be a star and all that, when Waite was already ****ing 25.
Explain me to why you love him, cause outside of giving 100%, like Mark Bolton and Kepler Bradley did, I don't understand it
The stats will say he had (at least) 3 clearances in the last quarter tonight. Immediately you'd think "YES! Gun play!".... They were all the same clearance. The ball landed in his leap, he snaped the ball to a 50/50, maybe 2 on 1 due to a loose man behind play. We even got the better of the 50/50 once or twice, but really, we're better off just leaving the ball at the stoppage and hoping we somehow land a free-kick or something.
