Give kyle a ******* cha ce would you.
We gifted Stanton a fu**ton of games, and this guy has it if he can piece it

Difference is Langford makes Stanton look like Chris Judd

Just as sad that you track all of this detail.......if they are Kyle's family thanks for showing so much understanding and respect for their feelings .

Wanganeen's football brain was also operating at many more frames per second.

Lol..yes..yes indeed it was.

If that is a friend or family member it's probably worth keeping in mind what impact some of the posting here might have on that person.

If anyone ever wonders why mental health is taking such a toll on AFL players these days you only need to look as far as some of the comments here to see why. You wouldn't say that sort of s**t to someone's face, why say it here?

Because my friend ...this is bigfooty.

Home of the deranged footy fanatic.

Any league player with an ounce of common sense would never even consider visiting this joint and looking up their own player profile thread on club forums.

It’s a public forum. Not for the faint hearted.

How many games did you play champ

I’m a former 1980s Essendon premiership hero myself. And yet my BigFooty game is still riddled with errors!

Gifted? Stanton came third in our best and fairest in his second year and then continued to be in the top 5 for the majority of his career. Most underrated player in Essendon's history. Chalk and cheese with concrete boots.

Don't agree that he doesnt have the footy brain. Dont agree at all.

He sees too much given his physical immaturity and lack of mental intensity.

Think about it, slow to make a decision is not slow making the single obvious decision. If he only saw 1 option he'd be "hacking the ball to nowhere" and would be Guelfi.

Clearly has no confidence and has played far too many games all things considered (but "structcha" or some equally boring s**t).

 

[Highly Evolved]

Spectates less enthusiastically than me. Decent kick at times but just horrible at most other things.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

surely we all understand now that this kid id not up to AFL level.

how many more chances does he get?

 

[Colonelmot]

Makes Melksham look good

Feel sorry for this bloke. He was far from disgraced, in fact, he was one of our better players (gulp) tonight.

Obviously he isn't ever going to be a top 3 - 5 player on our list but he can play his role when given a defined role.


The fact he is getting his hands on the pill is a good sign, would prefer the hack kicks were removed and a more refined decision to dispose of the ball was used.

He is if he played in his correct position

 

[Doss]

He is if he played in his correct position

How long can this still really apply as an excuse?

When he plays in his correct position he’s a Jack Gunston type

 

[andleanback]

I watch him point at space instead of trying to tackle/corral a dogs players in our fwd 50. Thanks but no thanks time to trade

on appearance he is, the coaching staff obviously see differently

 

[Doss]

He has never, ever shown the inclination to be even half the player Gunston is even when played there.

I want Langford to succeed like I want all of our players to succeed. However there seems to be an awful lot of excuse making going on here, to an extent other players don’t seem to enjoy. I just think something is not there with Kyle and won’t ever be regardless of where he’s played.

 

[Xavier Menzies]

Agh sorry kyle you lost me

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Time to go Kyle. Thanks for keeping that spot on the list warm. Take Zaka with you yeah?

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Got absolutely torched by every Doggies player next to him. Second to the ball and not enough intensity.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

I was critical of him early, some of his kicking and efforts were really poor. Worked his way into the game ok by the end though. Was not our worst last night.

 

[7zark7]

The fact that his team mates referred to him as Fyfey in the preseason shows where we are as a club
