Player Watch Sam McLarty (Delisted 2018)

[sr36]

Please clarify your Daicos hypothetical - its seems very unlikely that he would have been eligible for EAL.

Otherwise the system is truely stuffed.

It's an exaggeration. Wouldn't actually be allowed.

Could the news article be incorrect? Perhaps he studied Auslan as a LOTE and they got this wrong?
The only other way I could think of is if McLarty went to a school that taught predominantly in Auslan and then transferred to a mainstream English school in Year 8/9.

Hearing impaired kids are automatically allowed to do ESL, even when they have hearing aids that enable reasonable hearing and English is clearly their first language.

What is ESL?

English as a Second Language

I'd assume it stands for English as Second Language.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Yes I am.

English as a second language for you?

Thats just a joke ofcourse.

You are one of our learnered posters.

You certainly seem to have done your homework on this subject and your arguments seem well-founded. However, it's Sam McLarty you're talking about here, a Collingwood player earmarked (no pun intended) by some as our next FB. You are treading on eggshells here with a dissenting view on the guy's scholastic achievement. Personally I am going to spend more time checking out some of our lesser known players - such as Schade. TG is mounting a campaign for him in another thread, quite a lay-back place to chill and savour the mellow vibes of a temporarily reformed poster.

Not sure the reformed has remained reformed.
He is expounding on the abilities of males to gather female prizes or some such.
It's certainly different

It remains amusing to see those with dissenting views throwing tanties when said views are disparaged . . .

Errrm dissenting views are by definition - in the minority

By all means dissent but throwing tanties when said dissent is attacked is just plain funny

I tried to read back to figure out what and who you were referring to. The last 3-4 pages have all been about studying English as a foreign language and GG mixing up Schade and Scache. In fact if Anzacday was even-handed with his off-topic post shifting to the Freeman thread the whole last 3 -4 pages should go. So what are you referring to? Are your referring to those who think the rules around qualification for EFL is too loose as being the dissenters?

btw.. you can "discuss" a topic without needing to "attack" the opposing view and those who hold it... it can be done.

 

[Anzacday]

Ahem, doodles98 I haven't touched this thread.

To move to a more positive Sam McLarty topic.

Does anyone think he will play a senior game this season?

I think he might play say up to three games, if we get an injury or two.

I'm going for yes.

I think our historical injury record coupled with our current squad's lack of talls suggests that every tall on the main list at least will be needed at some stage. I'd pencil him in for two.

Must you dredge up my dreadful error again?! I must say I am now more firmly in the camp of those who think the ESL qualification rules are too lax. If that places me in a minority and deems me a tantie thrower then so be it.

I think he will play a game or two. I hope he doesn't have to because KPP's selected at pick 30 would not normally play in their first year. It will be an indication of our weakness in tall stocks if he does get a game.

If he does it will mean he is going pretty well or we are struggling to keep players on the field

At a minimum I'd like to see him playing really strong consistent VFL footy and in the discussion for senior selection by the end of the year.

Dunn was only ever recruited as a short term quick fix and Keeffe remains an unknown quantity but barring injuries, it'll be up to McLarty to force them out.

I must say I disdain the tantie thrower, the panty thrower however....

Are you the guy with the bar in Chiang Rai? If so, you would be capable of throwing a panty or two. I will get up that far one day. Not the panties but your northern neck of the woods. Maybe this year.

Or conversely an indication of his tremendous talent

Um .... possibly!

Na dont think so

Enlighten me with your wisdom then Pablo.

I think he'll debut early and I can seeing cementing himself in the side by seasons end, there's something about this kid that I like.
