Last night didn't validate your arguments. Last night was a farce in which every player tried to outdo their teammates in providing comical relief. Almost all of them looked foolish at some stage, and most of them looked ridiculous for most of the night. I have favourite and less-favoured players, but I recognise that it's impossible to confirm or deny the virtues of an individual player in the context of such shitstorm. To suggest otherwise seems like pointless grandstanding.

Not really

Let's just keep doing the same

Win or lose
Dosent change my opinion of players who cough it up , spray their kicks and cost us games

Keep up the good work

Losing rarely changes anyone's negative opinion about a player, that's very much the point I'm trying to make. I might not be sold on the virtues of Tom Phillips, as an example, but to focus too much on his lowlights in the context of a game which deserved to have napalm dropped on it seems a bit unfair.

But thanks for the encouragement.

I've never placed a poster on 'ignore'. As I said earlier in the thread I like to check out your new posts/threads just to see what odd thought you've come up with this latest time! You rarely disappoint! Many other people would be doing it for the exact same reason - almost nobody would be saying "here's a new thread started by Darkyprotector, this will contain some pearls of wisdom"!!! You can use the term "run to the mods" if you think you must (regarding that earlier post of mine), acting as if I tried to do something to harm you, when the reality is I was trying to see if they would save you from yourself - in this unfortunate thread at least. I obviously don't know what your hopes were when you joined BigFooty, but chances are you wanted to make a decent impression on people, and to be able to enjoy some healthy discussion on our wonderful game. Pi**ing off a lot of people is what you have achieved.

Unfortunately the sniping in this thread will only continue if the thread is kept going.

BTW I'm still waiting for you to head back to the Sam Murray thread after I pointed out just how flawed your claim was that Murray may have been "got at" after the Swans game last year, causing him to test positive and get banned. You seemed to vanish pretty quickly from there after that! You could at least have been honest enough to come back and admit that you stuffed up with that one!

What we do need is smart and elite ball users. Do we need to trade for that? Probably as we won't get any early picks without doing so over the next few years. We have many great players but unfortunately too many butchers.

I reckon the way Mayne is currently playing this year he might be worth a second rounder, maybe!

What you feeding your eye dog mate

Didn't you watch last night
CERTAINLY BACKED UP MY ARGUMENT
, my predictions and others
Phillips peaked in value round 12 last year biggest butchered of the ball on our list AND THATS SAYING SOMETHING

What happens if Langdon doesn't intercept mark ( zip)

How did Thomas go

Geez write it off as a aberration , a once off

Get your pea brain around this
You sell high buy low

We should have got a trade done at peak value

For
Thomas
Phillips
Langdon

Or at least tried, very obvious we were short of currency

No first round next year I'll remind you


WATCH A REPLAY IVE WATCHED IT 3 times already


Your anti-Langdon sentiment is just getting silly now. Was opposed to Atkins and kept him scoreless while still managing 8-9 intercepts. I noticed in the game day thread you even blamed him for Danger getting off the leash rather than worry about where Dangers actual opponent was. Give it a rest or at least get it right.

Howe played on Atkins

He was at times on Ablett
On rowan others, danger others

The only two back man who had set jobs was roughy and Moore
On The only two cats players who played set positions

Your defence of him is as biased perhaps as my criticism

Rose coloured glasses?

Disposal efficient ?

Oh and this thread was a discussion point to refer too on performances over the year , an awareness to look for

No opinion should be set on stone, I know mine isnt

But concerns should be expressed

If those concerns were validated
Well that's opinion too

Yours is entitled and respected

Mine should be too

I respect your right to express an opinion but that doesn't mean I won't call you on it when you're wrong as in this instance. I made a point of specifically watching Langdon in light of your recent posting and he definitely had Atkins for the majority of his 77% game time.

I have it different

But let's agree to differ

I agree at times he played on a first gamer and got some spoils
You agree at times he was on rowan, danger and Ablett

Well known we have to Always make changes off season
Minimum 3

I've noticed that our youngsters are now due to blossom after a few seasons in the system

To do that we need spaces in the team

IMO Untouchable youngster s ( not best 22) that will not be traded or delisted
Nathan murphy
Callum brown
Tyler brown
Josh Daicos

To give these 4 a go we're gonna have to trade out established players
Aish , shaz , broomy should get us at least a low 1st round next year from port
Phillips can be traded to saints for a first round
Langdon freo for a high second pick
Heck even Thomas for a juicy Gold Coast outcome ( wright? Or Ben king or pick 2?)
Murphy takes langdons spot
Tyler takes Phillips
Daicos takes thomas

Delisting

Sack
Levi
Wells
Crocker
Reid

My recruiting targets would be

Ed Richards( dogs)

Peter wright ( suns)

Hugh greenwood ( crows)

We have currency and we should use it

We also have nick Daicos comming in

Edited typo obvious richards

Too all those saying we're so good
Really
We finished 4th and won a lot of games by little
Easier draw sure helped
We always need to take stock and look for improvement

We have a surplus of stock with depth really not to far off the pace Playing reserves who would appeal to some clubs

Imo
Here's the list barring injuries running around in Vfl WHO WONT WANT TO PLAY VFL

Aish
Sharenberg
Wills
Apple by
2 browns
1 Daicos
Broom head
Rough head


We have NO FIRST rounder this year

IMO we trade while they have currency

Think gws
Think hawthorn

My view is our list is very flexible , contains a lot of guys who really aren't world beaters

Ed Richards, Peter wright and Hugh greenwood would be quality
Gee wiz all correct bar Peter wright

But I wasn't the only one sucked in by that dud

We finished 2nd by the end. I don't care if we win games by a point. The fact is you win them.

Trade Thomas? No way.

We have enough youngsters that will come in in a few years when our experienced retire.

We have the most elite players in the competition. You don't get rid of them at a time when you need them. If we get rid of our great players to play youngsters? we're no matter than gold coast. We don't need a rebuild.

Yes you plan 5 years ahead when you're struggling. We are not.
Wow
Thomas

Shazz. How many knees and has shown that the upside is ? At best

Aish ain't top 22
Broomy ditto
Thomas will attract more than his value to us , if traded to suns , is he best 15

Hugh greenwood is a star and will get better, how olds pendels again , ain't going on forever

Simple YOU HAVE TO PLAN 5 years ahead that's how it's done
And proven right

Well done, Darkyp! You've probably just proven to everyone here that you really have lost the plot! Though I suspect you never knew where it was in the first place!! Good luck with your over-the-top rambling; maybe somebody here will still talk to you?! I did try to help you some time back by suggesting that you modify your behaviour (I know at least one mod did that as well) but got nowhere, so you are likely to be mostly talking to yourself from here on in!! In case you haven't realised, almost nobody here takes you seriously.

I actually suspect that you may even have me on ignore - I did ask you a really reasonable question about your avatar pic recently and you didn't respond - that was asked on behalf of the club's History/Archives folks BTW (just in case you can read this). You continue to act as if the people on this board are your enemies, and you've done this from the start. There are plenty of decent people here still, people you could have a reasonable conversation with, yet you carry on with the confrontational approach. I just don't get it!

Leave some bathwater for the rest of us Darkyprotector
Get something right and that's your reply
Very shallow
Maybe some on here need to pull their head out of their bums

I'll drown in bath water
I'll admit when I was wrong
I got Moore wrong
100% correct on Langdon
100% right on the strategy
