Yes what a mature way to engage in a discussion/debate about the merits of a player being in the side: "anyone who disagrees with my point of view need not comment."
Look pal, I hope Majak proves me wrong and eventually does make it because it would be a tremendous story. Not just for his side of the story, but also for our club sticking by him while he learns the game and develops through the off field issues that he has endured. I'm not saying that these were his fault(aside from the drinking while injured bit) but I reckon there are many teams in the AFL that might have washed their hands of him long ago.
You are entitled to your view that you are virtually certain he will become a champion of the game, just as I am also entitled to opine that I do not think he's demonstrated enough consistency in his performances at either AFL or VFL level over six seasons to suggest this will be the case. Six seasons is a bloody long time, remember. It's the length of Scott's tenure thus far to put it in perspective. Posting a few You Tube clips of his highlights doesn't really prove your argument either. Everyone, including our coaching staff and opposition staff, are fully aware that he can produce unparalleled acts of individual brilliance at times. Equally they are across the fact that it's his consistency and often going missing for large chunks of quarters that is the issue preventing him from being in demand for a regular game at North or any other AFL club. Ultimately, I will continue to back the view of our coaching staff who keep him in the VFL(barring Goldstein getting injured/rested). They know a lot more about football than you or I and are watching him more closely each and every week, as opposed to attending the odd VFL game or watching a You Tube clip.
Ha! Please show me where I stated Daw will be a champion ?
You state he goes missing for large chunks of the game? Which forward currently on our list doesn't?
Benny Brown who's playing some bloody good footy forward averages 12 disposals per match. Yep touches the ball three times a quarter. Would suggest that allows for about 20 minutes per quarter for thumb twiddling.
Drew Petrie- averages 12 as above
Waite averages 17 and is our best forward by a mile.
Nick Riewoldt averages 20 disposals and 11 marks.
I have no issue with your thoughts ,well I probably do but TBH I can't be ****** wasting my time with negative campaigners! My issue is I'm discussing Majak's latest efforts and you're still running with the 'he won't make it for all these reasons'.
My main question I'd like answered is, why do you need to continue to state he 's not good enough? It's not likely we'll ******* forget your opinion anytime soon.
As for the way our club has handled Majak, I can't complain. Your insistence that Maj won't get another opportunity elsewhere is wrong. All but last season three- four clubs have enquired about his services.
Anywho I'm engaging a certain button for the first time- so no longer a problem.
