Hawks don't get rid of players that can use the ball, Gibson was killing it at the Hawks reserves side but Clarkson wouldn't play him becouse of his skills, he comes to us and we play him every game it doesn't matter how good or bad his form is and to top it off we put him in our leadership group.
Josh P Kennedy says hi.

Don't you want to head back to Facebook, mate? It's far more suited to your posting style.
25 posts and on to the ignore list is I think a new record.
Thought the same as you LuvtheKangas and did the same as you RobZombie, possibly earlier. (One gets more astute/less tolerant with time.)

I can't know for sure, of course, as I don't know who the hell you're talking about.

It's not telling a story! These are facts!
Do your facts state that Nahas has been in the system for longer and has more experience than Jed? Did Nahas come off a 12 week hamstring injury also? Also Jed has 2.4 from 9 games. So much for 'facts'.

Laughing so hard at quoting 1 goal in ten games as a half forward. He's been playing as a mid not a half forward, admitted as much at the Hobart post game function as I posted weeks ago. He barely gets near the f50 because of where he's being instructed to play.

Feel free to dislike a player but don't make shit up for the sake of your argument.

10 possessions a game as a midfielder. Hmmmmmm that's much better.
I don't have anything against him personally. I've stated he shouldn't be getting a game.

Stop the press! What a superstar 2.4 in 9 games. Definitely warrants a game now!

That's the problem ppl make so many excuses for the under performing footballers we play each week, no preseason, past injures, give them time etc the list goes on and on.

Love the educated reply!
God bless you sir
Wasn't aware a Yale level English essay was required to question whether you are a poster you sound exactly like who is known for making alternate accounts.

I'll try harder next time.

Seriously though. 150 posts and half of them whinging about one player. You might have issues.

I think you will find most people agree that Jed shouldn't be playing tonight, but to write him off based on an injury riddled year is where most disagree.

TBH - He is probably one of our only saving graces tonight as we anticipate a team known for quick ball movement and ferocity through the midfield..
Here is looking at you to prove me wrong Ziebell, Cunnington, Dal Santo, Dumont, Macmillan and Mullet

I was criticising his selection. I've got nothing against him personally. He doesn't deserve a game. That's all I'm saying
He doesn't, been awful (especially using the footy) but due to our injuries - Wood, and Garner/Turner - he is basically just fighting with Wagner (who I like). Who I think he is better than as he provides defensive pressure, not sure what else we can do - certainly not Nahas again.

At face value we seem to have payed overs, but we made that back with Lions paying massive overs for Bastinac (IMO). Lets see how it works out as I reckon regardless of Anderson all the trades/picks we made have us looking OK I reckon :thumbsu:

Would you prefer Nahas in the forward line, yes or no?

This is by far the best response I've seen on here. I'll be sure to follow your posts and responses For future references.
Well done to you sir for having such a valued and educated opinion on this matter
