2nd Year Blues for Brown

I would have liked to see Jack down back and an extended period of Brown fwd in he Nab cup. But this year wasn't for too much experimentation.

That would been nice and I still think JA will be a Good Backman in the AFL

People like to pick a fault and stick with it. Ried's kicking for goal is an issue no doubt which is why he should either play as a high linking foward or as a defender. His field kicking in general is good. He had a poor kicking game this week and did look a bit panicy. His kicking in the field for the rest of the NAB cup has been good and he has looked promising both as a high foward and a defender.

To say he is more athelete then footballer is a stretch because IMO he is a smarter footballer then Dawes. Knows his strengths better, times his leads better, gets better body position despite not having the physical strength, is better over head. He is just a questionable kick for goal and under developed physically.

As for the soft call Dave I have no idea where that has come from.

As for the wasted pick 8 call, his a KPP other KPP taken before or around the same time in the same draft include Thorp, Gumby, Hansen and Sellar. 1 of which has been a VFL player, another hard to judge because of injury, Hansen has been passable but a lot of his time in the AFL has been due to the lack of KPP at North and the last of which spent a lot of last season in the SANFL seconds. It is a bit early to be calling bust KPP take time. His a kid with a good footy brain, great pace especially considering his height, he hits the ball hard on the lead and is good overhead, his willing to zone or come across a pack to take a mark and his field kicking despite what some would have you believe is neat enough. There is plenty to work with.

The selection of Reid as pick 8 is a blot on Derek Hine's copybook.

It isnt Reid's fault we wasted our pick. He didnt ask us to pick him.

But he was abysmal last week (again) and the selectors reacted accordingly.

Dawes is well ahead of him.

Reid may be what we can offer up to GC17.

i thought i'd see the name "spagger83" all over this one, maybe he's walked away from this forum.

maybe the selectors agree with him!

Well since June 2008 after another shocking kicking display, that time against the Bulldogs, before he got injured.

Attempting to trade Reid and Brown for Judd as I suggested looks a no-brainer now.

But we didnt even try.

Mick now has the list he wants. As he himself said on Monday night, after 10 years he hasn't got a midfield good enough to take it up the middle and he needs to go around the flanks.

You also wanted to trade Cloke as you referred to him as the Tin Man & Leon Davis as you called him a dud.

Swift better then beams and sidebottom before either had played

edit you also wanted us to trade the farm for Judd, and you told everyone ROK was a certain pie this year

 

[Rohan Coventry]

That is a lie.

edit you also wanted us to trade the farm for Judd

Pick 14, Rusling & Didak isn't selling the farm.

It has nothing on calling Travis the Tinman & for years calling Leon a dud.

 

[Optimax]

That is a lie.

you are lucky EB&W doesnt have a search function rohan, im sure FIGJAM or VV remember it too

Pick 14, Rusling & Didak isn't selling the farm.

It has nothing on calling Travis the Tinman & for years calling Leon a dud.

Basically
a ruckman(wood)
a chance for a full forward who at the time was easily best 18
and arguably our most talented player

isnt selling the farm?

 

[Rohan Coventry]

Show me where I said Swift was better than Beams. You can't because you lie.

a ruckman(wood)

Calling Wood a ruckman is a tad OTT.

a chance for a full forward who at the time was easily best 18

A player who has played less than 20 games in 4 years. Debatable if he is in the best 18.

and arguably our most talented player

I'd say Pendlebury is far more talented than Didak & there are a number of players ahead of Didak, performance wise.

isnt selling the farm?

If you ask most, Pick 14, Rusling & Didak for Judd is a massive win to Collingwood.

You know alot about lying id reckon rohan

Calling Wood a ruckman is a tad OTT.

wtf is he then a small forward? outside midfielder?

A player who has played less than 20 games in 4 years. Debatable if he is in the best 18.
he was at the end of 07, and the start of 08


I'd say Pendlebury is far more talented than Didak & there are a number of players ahead of Didak, performance wise.
Arguably most talented, many would argue with you long and hard


If you ask most, Pick 14, Rusling & Didak for Judd is a massive win to Collingwood.
Selling the farm, we still would of had a ruck shortage, lost two of our best 18 in 07 and the start of 08 all for one very good player

My answers are bolded

14, Rusling and Didak is still behind what Carlton gave them, and they were far more inclined to deal with Carlton than us. Pointless argument.

Yes he was for always ducking out of contests in his first two years. He then admitted he did that becuase of facial injuries he had received.

Davis took 7 years to deliver.

He was good trade value before that.

I keep looking for ROK on our list but he aint there.

Thank God. The last thing we need is a SKOB skivvy.

I also remember you saying on FTO that you were the CEO of the Woewodin fan club and that he would win a Brownlow for us.

How does that egg feel on your face?
