When ? wont be this yr or the near future.

Geez and there is no intent to be disrespectful but you are delusional if you think this current list can win a flag.


Lol if only it was so. but alas all that has happened is a few wins is papering over well not so much cracks but chasms.
See you forgot the smiley face to...

they one play on the wing he put in about 10 efforts, brilliant
right in front of me. Astonishing up close. Some hard physical contact, he kept cat-like poise, clean hands and used the ball brilliantly.
A revelation, as I thought he was a bit pedestrian relative to the boom on him when we got him.
The one good thing about shitihad is that you do get pretty close to the action. I saw things that really impressed me on Sat night, surprisingly so.
Another example was a Menadue mark right in front of me. Strong. FFS who would have thought we could use strong and Menadue in the one sentence? But he is. DOes not look out of place at all now.
Back to Prestia though...he is a bull in a similar way to no4.

Didn't you say you haven't even watched us the last 2 weeks. Interesting how you can be so negative yet sometimes don't even watch us play!

Prestia had some ripping good kicks against Norf. Just seems like an easy thing for people to say now without actually noticing the improvement.

He did indeed! I was bagging him for two poor kicks, one an inside 50 pass that missed by about 3m and that one over Grimes head that went out. Watched the replay and he drilled passes left, right and centre.
I apologise Dion.
THere's some higher valued players at the Tiges that spray them just as bad...if not, worse.

What you need to see them play every week to know whats right and wrong.
So tell me what has changed so dramatically from previous yrs that should make me feel confident about this current list.

Little piece of advice son depth, quality recruiting, list management, Structure etc dont just magically fix themselves from week to week.

When it comes to the rfc and footy its a bit like days of our lives, you can watch it once a yr and hardly a thing changes.
I promise ya i will watch this weeks game and i will make comment on it.Unlike you i dont have the emotional investment in the players and at my age i can take em or leave em.

Ive been really busy with other stuff going on i have not seen this game either. probably wont.

By all reports he had a top game so kudos to him.
He has been very poor this yr but he is or has shown himself in the past to be a good player.
Weather he becomes a consistent good player again is bedides the point for me.
There is very little in fact nothing that can happen that will change my mind on weather we should have targeted Prestia or targeted the draft by trading into it.
Even with Hindsight of the players taken ,Which player would you have wanted us to take - Just so we know and can compare for future ref

Man do you ever read other peoples posts at all. If you did you would not need to ask.
Go on have a look thru im sure you will find who i liked at pick 6 and what path i wanted us to take.

It will be another make the 8 season i mean to say surely even our mob can not muck it up and not make it from here, most likely get our pants pulled down again in the first final. Man you can see this coming a mile off and you should not need to ask why.
Lol why would we want a ball winning machine who is 189cm and will be a beast when he finishes developing.

Im still filthy with the club for spurning the opportunity instead looking for quick fixes that could save Hardwicks arse.
Just for you TG save you the effort of going back a few pages. But its not just about this pick its about a whole process.

You said that NOTHING would change your mind and I asked "not even a premiership?".
Nothing at all to do with what I think this current list will do.

Man i do alot of reading and unlike you i actually consider other peoples views before i make a rant, But your posts have gotten to the stage that its not really worth even looking at as there is just so much tripe in them.

You do do you wow that surprises me, because you certainly dont post like you have read a thing.So it sort of defies belief that you consider anything.

So i see its rants is it. Is it a rant because you disagree or is it simply a differing opinion and you dont agree so you so insecure you feel you need to label it.
Pretty simple bud if you dont like it and have a need to get personal may i suggest you just simply ignore it.;)

Most promising small players since the Hafey years Imo , your opinion is yours and your welcome to it and mine is just mine but if you can't see the difference to previous years you either 1.Aren't watching, 2.Know little about football, or 3.You just get a kick out of being negative, for some reason I doubt it is number 2.

What about when you said Jurica would be the next 1000 goal kicker?

What about when you said the Geisch was a tactical genius?

What about when you said Freo is coming?

What about when you said just because the girl you picked up had an adams apple it didnt mean she was packing heat?
As believable as an April fool's joke involving Vickery .

Guess what sunshine ill keep me wink simply because over the yrs ive had too many debates to number, just like these, im still waiting to be shown im wrong.In fact im getting damn sick of continually being proven right because if i was wrong i would have to stop being so critical.
Yep been there seen that, same dog different leg action.Same debates same sort of posters and same sort of results.;)

You should come and see me when your opinion and that of the other 90%, you know the pack followers or sheep who unthinkingly accept what they are told ARE actually proven to be correct. Or maybe even when we achieve something onfield. Until then i will stick to mine and happily remain a big part of the minority who lets face it continue to be proven correct on most things.

Only when this club achieves something tangible and long lasting will i stop questioning everything they do.
I dont ask anyone to like it or even agree, but as this is nothing but a place to give opinion i do expect a bit of civility even if you do disagree.
Rather putting up with the pissant type posts of indignation and personal insults that usually occur from blokes like you. But hey that fine i dont mind it as im happy to give as good as i get.

Now this can either degenerate further or you can pull your head in and start acting like an adult either way im happy to oblige ya.
