Marley Williams if I remrmber correctly, worked out fine

think you will find marley cleaned up the mess..

Confirmation bias mate, if Ats had made half the mistakes Williams has so far there'd be a massive melt in here...

true but thats the frustration around Ats, and what he could become... maybe thats the thing we have to stop expectimg him to go to another level. its only his decision making preventing it, imo. Marely isnt as talented as Ats...you know what you get from Marley good and bad, thats how he has always been...

 

[ferball]

Atley is summed up by that last goal in the third. Left to his own devices he makes bad decisions but when given no option is spectacular.

Becoming the softest player in the league. insult to the shinboner spirit

Wasn't that bad tonight, took the game on and kick a couple of goals. People seriously just look for negatives, has become our whipping boy (fairly so).

 

[Snake_Baker]

So far from our worst.

Certain folks bumping this thread could possibly have mental issues.

 

[koshari]

I reserve my calls for him to be dropped for the autopsy thread.

During the game Atley has evoked an expletive from somewhere in the recesses of my mind. A loud "Atley, you ****knuckle!" accompanied by a slamming of the hand on the couch, causing my much beloved pooch to slink off in fright.

Our dogs have much in common.

Made some howlers but was overall a bit better.

Who was he playing on? I seen him on Grigg and McIntosh on a few occasions and he allowed them way way too much space and easy footy.

I also saw him om Ellis at times. I don't think he had a hard match up.

 

[Harris 10]

He didn't really have a match up. Thought he was ok but his positives were overshadowed by costly blunders.

It was a clear instruction to not kick long to one on ones in our forward half. This doesn't help a player like Atley.

 

[czero]

Kick a few nice goals.

One of north worse decision makers under pressure. Was joined by a lot of players in bad decision and execution tonight, so at least he had some goals to show.

 

[Kimbo]

Only in our dreams
will he be blunder-free
Twas always thus,
and always thus will be.

Were you on this Board last decade?

Were you on this Board last decade?

I'd guesstimate back to around 2005

....well do I need to explain the whole 'whipping boy' concept to you....

Oh righto, not really.

Utilise better sarcasm if you want to be humorous.

It wasn't sarcasm. He is our whipping boy.

If Shaun Atley somehow adopted Kayne Turners attributes i would have a new fav player

If half our side did that we'd never lose a game.

Quite sad isnt it? A kid who was 17 and lighter then a feather who is harder then our whole side put together.

To be fair, kayne's harder than 99% of the league.
