Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[DollarsandSense]

Regardless of Curnow staying or going, I think we can all agree it is playing out far better than the Essendon and Merrett debacle.

Cmon BlueLocke.... you are better than that. It's Essington!

No where was an uno response made. Kept it 100% relevant to Carlton and moreso making a comparison to one of the best small forwards Carlton has ever had. Based on data to date why would a club delist a player with a similar form line? Your position is slipping.

The problem is that there might be 100 small forwards who average a goal a game after a few years. Of these 100, let's say 10 of them become superstars.

It can be misleading to compare of the 100 to one of the 10. They MIGHT end up as good, but odds are they won't. This is one of my pet peeves when it comes to analysis.

It's like when people say 'But Cripps grew 20cm from age 16, so maybe someone else can'. It's possible, but highly unlikely.

Probably sick of the abuse. I haven't seen many positive post about him on any of the socials. And he'd be reading much of it.

Why are our supporters so nasty?

Can't say anything positive about Motlop or Gov most places online without people jumping down your throat.

We have a lot of unhinged supporters, media love it that’s why they feed on us.

As a supporter group we need to not get too high when things are going well and not get too low when things are going shit.

Brian Cook called it out very early

Cuningham and Klomp, both most remembered for winning TVs.

Robert Klomp was a very good player. That’s disrespectful.

We also have a board member with a brain injury who gets paid a salary.

Never tell your missus about paper bag money

Or any winnings on the punt

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Wheelo and Footywire both similar results.

Are you suggesting Petrucelle is a gun? key markers for a small forward including one percenters, tackles, clearances are all a little lower than Motlop. These are vital for a small forward. Most of the stats though are very close - same with Jamie Elliot at 21.

This is not even factoring in the delivery forward. Betts was on the end of Gibbs and Murphy. The service Motlop gets is not even close. Our mids crucify our forwards.

Betts played pure forward pocket. Motlop is around the ball. It's embarrassing his stata don't blow Eddie's out of the water at the same age

Robert Klomp was a very good player. That’s disrespectful.

His name always comes up over Louey gifting him a TV for a couple of touches. Hardly disrespectful.

Indeed. But that game he played on Kink, who up to that time had torn us a new one far too often. Klomp kept Kink almost possession-less, while being in the right spot to be noticed.

Free Charlie, let him go and get some good players/draft picks. FREE CHARLIE!!!

This....feels weird with your pfp....

Incomplete/ disingenuous analyses. Number don't lie. People just don't include all the factors/ omit intentionally.

Sorry, but I don't see anything unhinged with our supporter group - if BF is anything to go by - we're outrageously hinged .

Stats K/HB/M back in the day didn’t truly reflect the impact he had for the team…

Just loved him as a player. Rated highly internally at the time. Great defender.

Well if he reads this my son was rapt that he signed his gurneys and it’s now framed on his wall.

And the comment was about what he is most remembered for, not his ability. Some get very precious.
