Thanks Ashep, thats exactly what I was trying to say. You explained it so much better than I did!

You both explained it very well. I just think it is BS that I should have to defend myself not for what I have said, but things I haven't said.

 

[The King!]

I think he took a lot of steps as it was bouncing, it's so hard to count as his legs move so quickly

Why on here if you don't like a player it's hate . I have only ever hated 1 or 2 players in 85 years , it's not liking a player , the same as every player doesn't like the coach . A few i know of left because of Horse .
I didn't like the early McVeigh as i believed he got games when others didn't , maybe because he was an academy , but he became a champion of the club . Wasn't a great rap on Grundy , but what a 7 weeks he's players .
We can go on and on , but we all love our club and react in our own way
Sorry for the long post

He took 9 after the bounce , very long steps

Like I alluded to, you're always willing to explain your more left field opinions with your own logic, you play the ball and not the man, and this is the first time I can recall you cracking anything even resembling the shits so from my perspective, you don't need to defend yourself.

Don’t think Mills is worthy of criticism.

He was a rock at CHB. The defence just feels so much stronger with the Melican/McCartin/Mills combo.

I agree...I was just pointing out that time when he really could have done better. But as someone pointed out he was probably gassed. It was like a goalkeeper in soccer allowing a shot to sneak in on the inside when he should have covered the line better. Not really meant as heavy criticism

I'm sure this isn't the first time I've cracked the shits, I am far from perfect. If it is though, it's probably because this is not the first time this topic has come up. It came up every week in the POTY threads where all I was doing was giving my opinions and nowhere did I actually say Grundy hadn't been good.

Anyhow we may just have to agree to disagree. Hopefully the 10 games in his short Swans career that I have given him POTY votes in prove that I am perfectly OK with giving Grundy votes if I think he is in our top five players.

i can't believe you could write such a long post.
Well done.
Welcome to the club.
I like the new Bedford.

Launches it from 50 after cantering from the circle without a bounce

Sure, he probably should've bounced but the AFL has a long history of rules being temporarily suspended for the sheer spectacle of the game. A bit like taking a huge hanger.

It’s OK caesar88, there’s no shame in being a lousy judge.

In fact, apart from me, I don’t know of any other good judges here on Bigfooty.

 

[RubbaDuck]

Those votes are an absolute joke

McInerney kicked one decent inside 50, most of his kicks simply missed. He runs hard but rarely tackles. Not saying he doesn't deserve a spot. He does some good things but geez, so many others played much better.

 

[RubbaDuck]

Campbell's delivery in the second quarter for Armatey's first goal was just superb.

I can forgive no right foot with a left that sharp. That kick was sizzled and served seared to the perfect spot for Amartey. I suspect Joel has Braeden on the top of his Christmas list.

Seven from seven is a big ask but it's one step easier than eight from eight.

Our boys have brought hope to the hopeless, cheer to the cheerless and maybe even a little gorm to the gormless.

I’m all for increased gorm.

Never mind caesar88 and Grundy. When is someone going to give The King! the dressing down he so richly for his ongoing vendetta against shy, retiring wallflower Tom Papley

I am not checking how often I gave him POTY votes......

I am greatly enjoying my newfound gorm.

It's unhealthy for me, although i did the game preview for St Scum last year and doing this years

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I remain concerned by gorm warfare.

If that’s the case, don’t eat at a Gormdon Ramsay restaurant.

Oh boy

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Oh boy

Yep, sorry. It was late & I was bored.

My favourite AFL player is Max Gorm.

You say a lot so you have a lot to defend.

But I for one love your voluminous contributions to the board. I can critcise, agree and like or not every day such is your voluminous contributions every day. You are knowledgeable, West Australian(I don't hold it against you, much), a mod so you can delete my posts. You are great to have around.

In the preview I tipped us by 15, so I’ll take the 11 points…

It was a nice day to take the kids. Grundy and the midfielders were far cleaner than their opponents.

Dockers are an enigma, as they have the makings of a good team. They had won 6 in a row and 2 of those were against top 8 teams away from home. However always looked off the pace besides a burst.

Unbelievably on a sunny day the players didn’t look like they were on an ice skating rink. To be fair the lack of dew probably helps.
