Past #15: Paul Ahern - delisted after 24 NM games/6 NM goals - thanks Pauly

[Waussie]

So basically, he explained the reason Ahern was left out anyway.

"we got that wrong"

"He"

 

[RobZombie]

So Marc McGowan said he missed a game because of defensive efforts last week but then when McGowan actually asked Scotts in public Scotts said he wasn't going into the reasons. Does this mean McGowan just made it up last week? That someone else told him that and it wasn't the real reason? If McGowan heard it from the club I imagine if it was accurate and the clubs position Scott would have acknowledged it had already been discussed.

Very likely someone else. There's various club people mingling with the journos on press conference days.

So what did he do to Brad? Not part of the boys club? Lol

 

[ohh_v]

If he did something terrible, you'd think he wouldn't even be part of the squad (as EMG)

If we get flogged again, surely he has to be held accountable? Oh wait.. I've seen this movie before.

Can hit a target by hand a foot. We already have that spot taken. Only room for one under Brad.

 

[Harris 10]

He made the admission in the context of Ahern not being picked

What do you think now?

 

[kangaspurs]

In the context of what happened last week, this is just ****ing ... I don't even know.

 

[Grogg]

I'm not even surprised.

 

[Snake_Baker]

In the context of what happened last week, this is just ******* ... I don't even know.

That's gripping stuff.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

That's gripping stuff.

We can only guess, i.e. defensive running, tackling and contested efforts.

 

[muttley45]

So, last we heard it was defensive application, still a work in progress Brad ?

I think he is too skillful for the game plan. He is a conundrum for Scott.

 

[longyroos]

Flabbergasted.

I’ll name you 15 other blokes with greater deficiencies then Ahern.

He can simply do things others cannot.

So what do we do with him?

Ship the bloke off to the VFL to become a Bradbot.

Perfect.

At the meet and greet last year between player BF sponsors, LDU and Paul - he was asked what he needs to work on most. He said tackling. Might mean something. Might not.

You’d think once he comes back in though, he’ll stay in.

So in a game where the team had 20 odd tackles Scott made an example of the player that kicked 3 goals.

Scott is a deadset plonked.

It’s strange

Not sure why he does this

 

[osaka mick]

No doubt Ahern is stiff not to be playing this week, but the coach says he has things to work on, and he knows better than us! Hopefully he works on them, and comes back a better player. Those of you saying that he will leave the club because of this are clueless. If it makes him work hard to get a spot, then it is a good thing. Leave it at that!

 

[The Dingrel]

Well we got rid of him didn't we.....

Yeah only took 21 years to figure it out!

But something something change now, entitlement something millenials something something ruthlessness old days brad.

Or something.

 

[Only Forwards]

he has things to work on

Ain't many blokes in our team that don't.

Pretty much the whole side has shown an incapability to do the supposed things he has to "work on".

We have an opportunity to build for our future now. But instead of getting games into our younger players we persist with the mediocre known quantities who play week in, week out without consequence.

So why all the jumping up and down about a player not getting a game!!

And you think you know what he needs to work on!! I understand what youre saying, but youre also assuming your assumption is accurate.

All I did was report what Paul said himself to the BF crew when we met him. I was simply relaying this now because I thought it might help shed some light on the decision for those that were asking in this thread. Maybe not... Anyway, the comment was neither for nor against BS... I'm not sure why you're responding to my comment like I'm defending the decision. I've not said anything along those lines at all.
