Yeah there are some people who seem to hound people cos they follow players and take an interest in players on OUR team. Now I am really confused as I thought that we all were going to follow two players this year, one that we got in the draft and one that we pick ourselves in the 2nd buddy draft. Are we going to be hounded because we defend our players all year?
The other question to that I am now game to ask as Koula has been delisted, is I wonder how he felt knowing that there were some who who did not rate him worthy of being in OUR team. The players or their family must read these boards.
We must encourage our players because they would not be on the list if somebody at the club did not think they were good enough.
I will not take abuse from people face to face so I see no reason why I should take it here.
End of rant
I think Adam Kingsley and Paul Koulouriotis have received a fair bit of special treatment over the time.
Adam Kingsley by a fair few of us due to his high turn over rate. Im not saying this is all Adam's fault because he has been played out of position but at the end of the day you can only judge on the performance given.
Paul Koulouriotis is a little different, its normally an argument generated between Koulagirl (mostly) and the rest of the board as to his worth. He played 3 games over 4 seasons for us and with the amount of talk about him on our board one would think he was captain of the club. I think Koulagirl is a little more light hearted about it all now and doesn't hold too many grudges. Good luck to Paul and Koulagirl at their new club, but Koulagirl where does your heart lye after Paul?
I think I have gone over this and over this before but you really only have one player to follow. Buddy Player 1 for which you were assigned is the player you follow. This draft we are currently going through is nothing more than a bit of fun, keep a close eye on that player if you like but you only really play a secondary role with that player.
You won't be hounded in regards to your buddy player as we know the reason why you would be praising or probably in Macca's case with Kingsley bagging the hell out of him. Its all in fun!
As for the last past of your post I really doubt that any of the players family or close friends would take much notice of what we write and those who do and take it seriously must have rocks in their head!
Paralowiepower put it perfectly before, its the coaching staff that they should be trying to impress.
If it was up to us mere posters on how the side looked there would be no Adam Kingsley and Fullarton Power would put Warren Tredrea on the bench!
