Player Watch Brayden Maynard

Why do people have a go at No spin if he is polite.
Why can't he see things in a different light?

That he's positive, I think that fine.
Why does he have to join the mob.

I think it's good there are all sorts on here, from polar opposites to middle range views.

Ofcourse as long as people are reasonably polite, why not

That's not what doodles said Saintly.

Sometimes just like the negative posters the positive ones should take of their blinkers!

I like nearly every poster
I agree blinkers are not always perfect.

All my point was in general, I think positive posters also contribute substantially.

I think No Spin sometimes gets lambasted because people are polar opposite and don't necessarily respect him either.

I agree it takes all types........I also agree he is sometimes disrespected but the Club is not always right either SV.

Fair enough
Amazing it wasn't 74 points

Oh well we are just the worst ever

The Richmond loss was a shocker. Going down to the bulldogs was at least gallant.

What part of me highlighting the hypocrisy of a guy like No Spin (always a positive spin) criticizing a guy like Thatsgold (always a negative spin) don't you understand Saintly?

In your bumbling way you've accidentally hit the nail on the head!.. what you write highlighted above IS the point.. you just totally missed it.

Space Cadet will come good.

He is in the long term plans of the CFC and hasn't exactly been horrendous in the opening two games to warrant being dropped.

If anything, will be very important to have in against the Swans at the SCG.

How could I possibly get anything if I'm bumbling ?

I don't keep a chart, but can't recall you in the bad books

And you do have an interesting avatar name.

I think you said you named yourself that way when you were young but its a good avatar

Mr Fasolo, not helpful

And he wasn't an island.

Oh for his game, last season early weeks, v Tigers.

Shock horror....
Club makes mistakes.
Absolutely it does.
Some blunders and you wonder.....

Overall, just like every club, we are thinking, seeking, looking for ways to win the flag.

(Don't tell anyone just between us, Nathan makes mistakes too)
Nobody is infallible, not even our esteemed posters.

(The Pope has infallibility but even that is restricted to his judgments of canon decisions and the like)

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Blair has gone backwards that is fact..

So it went over your head then

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

With all due respect mate - you are the Kelly-Ann Conway of our board. You deal in alternative facts based on unicorns and rainbows that only you can see in the ether of the horizon. Bit rich you calling someone else mypopic when it comes to how they view issues relating to the club and players.

 

[CFC2010]

I'm obviously a simpleton Timmy.

I've been a Maynard fan since he started. But I can see his deficiencies are hurting us in the backline too much. Should probably be moved to the middle but we already have enough options there so I'd be looking to trade this year as he might have currency being a young player who's been best 22 most of his short career.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I've been a fan since he started and I agree trade him, hes shit

I'm Brian and so's my wife

 

[No SPIN]

With all due respect Spinny. You are either employed to ceaselessly sprout support and spin excuses for everything that has happened at the club in the last 5 years, and attack those who think otherwise, or you are insane. I don't see a third option if you are a genuine Collingwood supporter.

It's very easy to for you and others to focus on the negative and ignore any semblance of positivity. The inane bagging of young players like Maynard is not acceptable and for you to suggest that I'm a club plant in pointing out this stupidity makes you look like a fool.
The sky is not falling in - just as the sky was not falling in when I was supporting MM during the push to replace him with Bucks in 2009.
Now the same fools continue their uninformed diatribe and you want me to stay silent - no way sport

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I don't know if it was just the position I was sitting, or perhaps my complete unwillingness to ever watch this game again, but I felt as though I was yelling my appreciation of Maynard's efforts much moreso than lambasting him. That torp from the kick-out that resulted in a coast-to-coast goal was great, and he laid some terrific tackles. I've never been a massive fan of Maynard's but in my view he's absolutely worth persisting with.

So based on your posting: You think that everything is going well now and over the last 5 years and that those who are unhappy are uninformed fools who don't see the obvious big picture as you do. Or; you think that it is your job as a supporter to support whatever happens, and to support those at the club regardless of results produced.

Given where we are at as a club and the piss poor decisions taken to get here, your relentless defense of everything the club has done and is doing, and your attacks on others who disagree; makes your posting somewhat "unusual". It lacks any normal balance and connection to the reality of where we are at as a club.

It is also disrespectful of you to continually throw this stuff at other posters when they are angry and upset at the club like they are at the moment. Just denying their valid points and emotions and spinning a bs counter-attack doesn't help. It's like you have no emotional connection to the club or something and can't relate to how pissed off people are with what has gone on and where we seem to be headed. If you were a club plant, I would expect you to be more subtle and balanced. So it's option 2 for me.

There is a big difference, I offer clear factual posts - TG offers whinging and whining. When was the last time you read a detailed well reasoned post from TG.
If you lack the ability to grasp this substantial difference my fears about your power of insight are largely confirmed.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Any thoughts on Maynard guys?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Just seems like Toovey Mk II to me. Except without the defensive one on one capabilities Toovey had.

I offer these emotional posters an alternative point of view they may not have considered. Why don't you challenge the points I disagree with rather than challenge my sanity.
Why not put up reasoned defense of these fools bagging Maynard.
You either lack the fortitude or you actually agree with me, and sadly it the later because you don't want to identify with the fools.
