What a moron. If we were forced to use more than 26 players we would've debuted more youngsters. Plus we have a group of players like Nielsen, McKay, Preuss, Durdin, Williams, Mountford, Hibberd, Larkey who all have at least 1 game next to their name. Obviously they won't count as debut players.

Read the article. There's not a lot wrong with it.

I'm usually critical of The Roar articles as it seems like lots of them are striving to add their voice to popular views without any effective analysis. This one is far more reasoned.
It's just a lot of words to say, "gee, I dunno."

He admitted on Twitter that he knows nothing about our list outside of the guys I the seniors
Why is the guy writing an article on lists then? No offense to people trying to make a living, but that site I always thought as very amateurish.

I looked at it a couple of years ago and haven't since. Also heard people on the radio that work form the site on as correspondents or contributors and can't say I was impressed either.

Has a face like a robbers dog. And the article is shit. Rebuilds are a myth, and the fact that media outlets great, small and insignificant (ie: The Roar) still maintain that losing games brings you closer to a premiership shows clearly the lack of depth and insight that unfortunately defines most footy discourse.

That is exactly what I wrote. His response was something about does that mean he can’t comment what he thinks are the best movies if he hasn’t seen them all. I responded with, it does if you’re writing articles as a movie critic.

ROFL....that was his response?

It's actually the same thing. If you haven't seen the movie and your profession is to review movies or the best movies, then you shouldn't be writing anything about it. Well you can and then look like a total moron......which is exactly as what he achieved.

Like even if I was to comment as a lover of movies to my friends and haven't seen them....I shouldn't come to the conclusion that they're crap. For instance I haven't seen Titanic.....supposed to be good. I haven't watched it as it doesn't seem like its my cup of tea.....but I can't call it a crap movie. Titanic 2 is supposed to be absolute garbage. I haven't seen that either, but I can't comment on that either.

You should ask why he gets paid as a full-time employee for material that a work experience kid wouldn't want on his resume.

My issue with is this whole '1 debutant' so far this season. If we call up McKay we'd be promoting youth yet our number of debutants is still 1 because McKay played round 23 last season. It has no business being mentioned in the article.

The bloke who wrote the article just asked me “can you tell the guy who said I have a face like a robber's dog to go **** himself lol”

My genuine apologies to him, that was unkind. No need to get personal, and I'm certainly not posting next to a photo of my mug. Was meant only in fun.
