Who’s judging?

Absolute fake news. He actually praised Adelaide and the way they handled his injury. Naturally he was upset to miss the grand final but he wasn’t in the slightest annoyed at The Crows.

It’s clear from that interview he’s a few sandwiches short of a picnic and no Oscar Wilde, which is why what he said was misconstrued, but he basically said he wanted a fresh start and the opportunity to play at the MCG which is why he joined Carlton.

look, I'm just not really sure........

Not worth commenting on initially though; in poor taste I thought.

Not everyone is built for public speaking or the treacherous education system and will still lead perfectly fulfilling and happy lives, perhaps with less stress.

But otherwise no net impact, which is what I’m saying.

Weird, patronising second paragraph?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

This has all become a bit circular.

Lift.

 

[thylacine60]

circle work - was my favourite at footy training - for the unfit fakes with ok foot-skills.........

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

me too

It’s not a judgement saying someone is slow.

You’re equating it negatively

 

[La Dispute]

You've made your point (not so eloquently I might add)

Likewise

Go away please. This thread is to support our player not pump ourselves up by putting them down.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

End to end (spekkies encouraged) bit of circle work, end with pot shots from the boundary...... is what I hoped for.

Those Thursday night, bring a mouthguard (never wore one), in the mud, freezing arse July nights, with 10 x 200s to finish.....nah.

Not really. Acknowledging that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and it's simply just not nice (and unnecessary) to refer to a guy as slow, unless you are attempting to make a diagnosis of intellectual impairment and institute a management plan (and it's still inappropriate).

But that's probably not why we're here.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Anyways, Mitch is pretty good at football.

Ah of course, that’s the endgame.

But I’m the one being assumptive and laying out judgements.

Obviously - I wasn’t saying it for kicks.

Saying he stumbled through the interview in part because he’s not a particularly intelligent guy isn’t downplaying the guy, it’s providing an explanation for his ineloquence in light of the article written about him.

What the actual * is with your last paragraph? You don’t have to be a scientist to recognise if someone is a little slow.

 

[Neese]

Yes and you know it.
So you can go away now.

3 posts and I'm tapping out now, cbf bro.

Disrespectful and irrelevant.

He's made an incredibly difficult decision, it's gone our way, I think you should focus on what you have to look forward to

He stumbled through most of the questions in reality.

Not sure how stating he’s not a smart dude is arrogant whatsoever. There’s plenty of guys in the AFL with low IQ’s and in many cases this is actually far more beneficial for playing professional sports.

Doesn’t curb his football ability in the slightest.

Heart bleeds for him - I’m sure he’s keeled over in the foetal position as we speak

[Stig O'Hara]

Certainly not waving.

 

[Neese]

Adore David Bridie

 

[thylacine60]

is he smart? or is he slow?

 

[Neese]

Bridie? Definitely smart. He's pretty fast on a piano too.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

That slow, fat and dumb kid sure plays a mean football.

Oscar Wilde..famous for saying pseudo witty but actually quite nasty things for effect. Oh yes....theres a thought.
