we have about 20 other problems before we give a crap about matt crouch's kicking

Dunno, if you can't control the ball with a one paced and inaccurate midfield - what good are you? It's been your achilles heel all year.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Here we go. Now Matt Crouch isn't much chop lol.
43 touches. 18 contested. 10 clearances today.

Your assessments of who is good and who isn't is just a bit flawed.

it's not necessarily his job. he should be getting out to guys with better disposal. problem is our best kicks dont play midfield.

i dont have concerns about either crouches as talents. plenty older and worse who need to be moved on though.

Because Fogarty was doing nothing in the SANFL to be worthy of a recall to a team expected to play finals. You don't just hand out games for the sake of it, he has to earn it. One game does not make a career either.

Shouldn't have been in the SANFL to begin with

It's a badge of honour to not be rated by Brades. Next it'll be Steve Smith isn't that good

Why not? They had their 3 talls.

When will you look past the basic stats and actually watch a game for what it is? You're so basic, like your personality.

Two who have been liabilities for large parts of the season

Sorry football guru, I'll bow when you enter the room next time.
Doesn't rate brownlow medallists or gun small forwards though.

Probably rates Troy Cook as one of the great midfielders of his generation

Not at the start of the season though right? I mean you said - start of the season. Not me.

Shane Woewodin won a Brownlow and let's be honest, he wasn't that good of a footballer.

Don't you dare say a bad word about Cookie.

At least I'm not basic and unable to understand football. If we based it on stats Liam Anthony would still be playing. You probably thought he was a gun when he came in too. What about Anthony Miles? Remember the fawning over him by commentators? now at Gold Coast.

Most who win it though are great players.

Woewoedin, Dangerfield, Priddis, Cooney.. I mean seriously. Umpires only pick based on possessions rather than game influence.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I rest my case.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I rest my case.

Ok Sodium Hydroxide.

Cooney was great in his brownlow year and won a few games off his own boot. To bad he smashed his knee in the qualifying final and was never the same footballer.

 

[Magma]

wont hear a bad word about the coondog.

 

[Bradesmaen]

He used to look like that playing for FPS and Flaggies. The flog.

Massive question marks on walker going into the season. And Jenkins got dropped a few times last year so he's the one they should have started without and made him bang down the door to take the spot of Walker or Fogarty

Huh? Jenkins didn't miss a game last year.

I could have sworn he did but you're right he played 22 games

 

[Bradesmaen]

Add to that Walker was captain and you've got a 19 year old who hadn't shown a lot during his debut season, hrs going to start in the SANFL and have to bang the door down.

Sandilands has announced his retirement. A true great and one of the 2 best ruckmen of his generation along with Cox. It is going to be sad to see him go but we all knew it was coming.
