Excellent old school passive aggressive use of "buddy" and "champ"

As the Grade Cricketer would say “Champ or be champed.”

Seems like it was only yesterday Venables was curling a few beauties' through from the boundary.

Sucky news about Venners, I was hoping in a few years he would develop into a Robbie Grey type dynamic forward.

the team is definitely missing Daniel and Willie

 

[Eastwestcoast]

What about it pal?

Mate!

Claiming Daniel wasn’t performing to the standard of a high draft pick is an insulting comment. What exactly is the standard of a high draft pick exaclty?

When we drafted Daniel he was coming off an injury riddled season yet we took the chance to draft him due to potential upside.

He then got the illustrious position of the HFF within a team vying for finals and an eventual premiership. His role was to accompany, not to shine and to develop into a larger role as his career progressed.

You assume incorrectly that every “high” draft pick is to perform instantly or at the least to a higher level than Daniel did/was.

Josh Kennedy did very little at Carlton and his first few seasons with us but flourished into the best forward West Coast has ever had.

Brad Shepperd “underperformed” early in his career and has also developed into one of the most reliable defenders we have seen.

Duggan didn’t develop the way we hoped early on in the midfield but given time and games became a very good back man and now appears ready to go back to the middle.

All were “high” picks and going by your comments on poor Daniel, also wouldn’t have been “performing to the standards of a high draft pick” either.


Look at them all now.

For every Chris Judd there are multiple Kennedys, Shepperds and Duggans. Players take time to develops regardless of where they are picked.

Daniel showed more than enough and was progressing well in a very strong squad, losing him is a big loss due to his age profile and the potential of what he may have been given the time to flourish as all those above were given.

So when you ask me why I think you are a troll I say either you are poorly informed at best or at worst looking to solicit a response with berating a kid who may have potentially have had his career cut short with long loading health ramifications.

He deserved better than that if you ask me.

Bottom line is I have a different opinion of DV to you, and your long winded bumptious post has not changed it.

If that upsets you and others so be it.

Are you ok little fella?

Bottom line is you are showing no respect to players who don't provide instant gratification to your hopes.

Even after being provided multiple examples of how most champions take years to find their feet at the top level.

We've clearly reached an impasse. Time to move on.

Not until you concede so those with opposing views can walk away knowing they won a debate on the internet.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Highlights are often misleading.

I think he's a handy player and we miss what he brings.

I don't understand how it is controversial to say he's been a little disappointing for a guy taken at 13.

I actually agree, I hate player highlights as they only show the good stuff. I prefer when they show all the times they had a disposal, tackled etc so you get a better feel for their overall performance, strengths and weaknesses. Better yet, watching a full game to understand their influence on a game.

I feel Venners was building though, he'd have one good game and then a quiet game. It was all about building consistency, once he had that he'd become a very good player as confidence would flourish and he'd become a threat.

How Long can venables be debated? #ripmysweetprince

 

[Dark Sharks]

I'm also a fan of instant gratification.

 

[RanaNaved]

Anyone know how many list spots are available now?

 

[Biggie]

I'm also a fan of instant gratification.

Repeatedly.

Are you left or right handed?

Are you left or right handed?

I can't tell when i'm doing the stranger.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Really sucks for Venables.

I know one copped a career-endng injury and the other has a funny ball drop, but I wish people defended Ainsworth with as much passion.

 

[campaigner___]

I'm so happy to have avoided the DV debate. It was like that time someone called someone else a racist because they agreed with the delisting of jetta.

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Get a load of the picks Doggies will use for pick 1:

29, 33, 41, 42, 52, 54 and 90.
Swapping junk for gold.

Our first pick moves up 6 places based off that alone! haha.

We'll probably end up effectively having a first pick in the 30's by the time teams start passing or trading all their picks in for points.

 

[Seadog]

Are you ok little fella?

Ease up Sport.

 

[Obeanie1]

Ease up Sport.

Fair shake of the sauce bottle mate!!

Fair shake of the sauce bottle mate!!

Shut up! Sir

Two pages of this trash and not one "you're not my buddy, guy" post? Lift.
