Correct, but that doesnt mean we have to pay him a huge salary because we have no one else capable of filling that role?
well yes it does, actually. if we've got no one else capable of doing it, we buy the services of someone who can do it. that's how a trade works. i mean lets face it, you've judged Ottens' season on 12 games, and the last 2 were injury affected.

I have judged him on 12 games, because he has been paid for 12 games. Ad given his performances I dare say hes been paid too much imo.

and that is your opinion. we accept that. you however, should accept that not everyone agrees with you. Nobody has started a thread saying "Sack Kingsley!" because we accept that Kent, despite his flaws, has a place in the forward line. Ottens has taken a lot of heat off Kent this season, you should appreciate that.

Actually there has been quite a few threads saying 'drop Kinglsey' hence I started this thread. I just intrigues me people are quite content with Ottens performances yet still find room to bag Kent. And I never said sack Ottens, that would be silly.

OK so why start this thread? just to complain about his contract? complaining after the ink is on the paper is pointless, and incites pointless argument that often ends up as a locked thread. if you want to complain, do it after rd. 22, 2007 when his contract comes up for renegotiation.

Why did I start this thread? So the people who continually bag Kent may actually come to the realisation he is a good player, I use Ottens as I felt there was a bit of double standards happening when comparing their performances.

'Ottens has been serviceable, we are happy to have him'
'Kent has kicked lots of goals but did a helicopter at the weekend, lets put him back to the VFL'

No Geelong person will ever start a thread calling for Ottens head when he misses an easy set shot.

I agree absolutely.

Kingsley is incredibly under-rated. It is just his major flaw (the occasional set shot) is very visible. People see this and therefore don't give him the credit he deserves.

There are other “flashier” players who many rate as being much better than Kent but are they? Tarrant is a good example, so is Didak.

i don't recall anyone demanding Kingsley to be dropped lately, i think you just want a fight. I'm harsh on Kent, but i would never demand that he be dropped from the team. that's like chopping off your foot because your runners squeak on polished surfaces.

oh get real... that thread was from MAY. one person called for him to be dropped, and a dozen people jumped to his defence. hardly a sign that GFC fans want to throw kent to the wolves. get off the soapbox, Kent isn't going to be dropped.

You asked for threads calling for him to get dropped, pardon me for thinking that was.

Of course he isnt going to get dropped, hes having a great year.
