Well that's good news. Presumably now that it's all clear, people might relent from getting stuck into an under-aged player who was injured in his first year of football and taken at a second round selection.
Come on OS that has nothing to do with it like my stupid comment to your post re Titch it was just wrong.

I personally find the criticism as distasteful as anyone, but those doing it aren't indulging because they expect Sier to produce as a 1st round pick should. It's down to their impatience and want for the team to improve overall, IMO.

He's a second year player that just needs to consolidate in the VFL in 2017 and if he builds his tank I'm sure he will. Once that occurs the criticism will drop away because it will see him push for senior selection at one point or another which will keep the majority happy.

It's very cut and dried with nothing to do with a completely inaccurate assertion which can't be justified with any evidence at all or else TFT would have responded with it to TW given his vast knowledge :thumbsu:

Seems he agrees with me too. Critics of sier are simply impatient and distastefully so. He seems to have been thrown by my throwaway line and personal opinion about people expecting performances worthy of a first rounder but the sentiments are very similar

Thrown in what way exactly? Given I didn't quote you I thought it would have been obvious that our opinions only differed because of your silly line which was as accurate as the one's describing Sier as bottom age when drafted lol.

All told there's no issues from my end at all I just prefer dealing in facts :)

You intruded into Timmy's post so it seems appropriate to me that he respond, albeit he wasn't talking to you, yet you intervened again. It's not all about you Donald.

Says the eternal banshee.
See what I mean. Bleat all you like about my posting, I'm under no illusion that I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but I never name call or take personal swipes at other posters.

Rather than making it about you I'll just say that I hope Sier is back on the track in full training within the first week or two of January!

Fair enough. Dealing in facts is boring though. I still maintain that if we had drafted an 18 year old with out first pick, and given him number 35, that Sier As our second round pick would have flown under the radar.

I will also take on board your comments that you by definition agree with me if you haven't actually quoted me. That will be heloful in future.

You are continually sarcastic and patronizing with your endless 'lol's and likes of posts you clearly disagree with. Become a man, speak frankly and stop playing childish games.

I'm sure I've said this before but here goes..

I don't have any issue with Sier. I hope he becomes a gun.

My concern was the pick used. No TAC form. Playing school footy. Unfit. Youngish.

imo he was a reach at 32. In a couple of years I'll be right or wrong.

I'm moving on from Sier now if people cant understand that.

Whoa Nellie!!!

You often use LOL as a belittling part of your response.

Is that really much different?
