Crows youngsters snubbed again

[Schulzycrow]

WTF do our youngersters got to do to get a Rising Star Nom???

You would think Jaensch or Sloaner would be in the running surely next week. Hendo is too old I hear..

 

[Vader]

Redden deserved his nomination. Get over it.

 

[McCavity]

Agreed - and another one from the Sacred Heart AFL nursery?

 

[cammo6556]

Redden deserved his nomination. Get over it.

on last weeks performance alone, hendo shouldve had it... but redden has been ok all year... its a strange way to award the title... could they not do a voting system and scrap the noms?

 

[cammo6556]

just read that hendo is too old... fair enough then. redden definitely had a better game (and consistant season). no probs with that at all... sloane and jaensch were good, and have been good, but redden played particularly well last weekend.

Over it.

Just hope Sloane or Jaensch get a nom before the end of the year and the way they are playing they should.

 

[Smoooothy]

rory had a quieter game on the weekend, so his non selection is fine

jaensch apart from kicking 3 goals didn't do a hell of a lot more (dont get me wrong, he was good, but not tear the game a new one good), so that one is fine for mine too

i'd be expecting that the next big game that either one play will earn them a selection

 

[jenny61_99]

How bizarre... I'm sure I read somewhere on here today that Hendo had won the nom!!!???

who cares, it's a useless award

any reason as to why you've come off as rude?

Just getting sick of all the "why are we forgotten" and "the world is out to get us" threads/posts. Seriously, I thought that Western Australians were the most paranoid people on the planet (every single one of them convinced that everyone on the far side of the Nullarbor is out to get them). Posters on this board are making me wonder if I was too hasty in judging the sandgropers.

 

[Mad Fan of AFL]

Redden deserves it. On 5aa i heard Henderson was 21 years of age instead of 20 at the start of January so he can not get a nom.

Im sure Jaensch, sloane or Davis will get the nod by before the season's out

Don't worry, it'll be alright

well, can I answer those?

we are forgotten because a most veiwers on TV are Victorians (hence the TV figures) because of this they pay most attention to Victorian teams and games. This leaves Foxtel with the non-victorian games (proven with all non-vic vs non-vic games being telecast by foxtel) this means vewiers with no foxtel feel they're being forgotten because they cant veiw the team.

Then on the shows such as the footy show, on the couch etc. It's the same, most veiwers are in Victoria so they need to appeal to their main audience. Adelaide is not this, we would be the 11th or 12th preferance in TV Networks veiw.

in conclusion, there isn't much money going into the media outside of Melbourne.

On the world is out to get us. That's just a natural reaction to lower-middle class people. You'd expect that alot out of most clubs, but there would be a large portion in the 7 non Melbourne teams because they all have a large portion and vareity in support in their clubs' cities. In reality only 50-70% of Adelaide fans would have this point of veiw. Problem is, it's these sort of people who voice their opinion all the time which annoys people like you who know what they're talking about, just don't bitch about it all the ****ing time.

I wonder if that was my e-mail they read out. I was listening on my way home go on about how Henderson was stiff not to get the nom plus a few callers complaining about it. Couldn't help myself to e-mail in so they knew what was what!

 

[Don Muraco]

Does it matter if our players get nominated? We know how good they are and should probably keep it to ourselves.

 

[dplggr47]

Redden has been consistently fantastic for the Lions for the past four weeks. Rockliff was the same (had played four consecutive great matches before getting his nom), so no surprises that Redden finally got recognised with this week's nomination, and well deserved too.

 

[davos44]

When Sloane gets 20+ Touches and has an influence on a game he will then get a nomination. Personally I don't think any Crow youngster has set the world on fire enough this season, sure they have been impressive but 'not quite' rising star material. I think Sloane will get one very soon though. Patience!

He's already done that in Round 13 against Melbourne but Tom Rockliff got the nod for a great game and putting some good consecutive performances together. The next match Sloane has with 20-25 touches and a goal he should get a nomination Maybe this Friday? No better time

If he performs against Geelong he will get it for sure, getting quality touches against quality opposition surely has some weight with the selectors?

Mate I've got an excuse. I endure purely Vic-centric media. It's become very hard to distinguish whether we are being ignored fir good reason. I'm on a one man mission to bring the Vic footy media down, but I admit that doesn't make them ignorant all the time.

great work riggy

 

[cammo6556]

Thank you Riggy for taking time out of your busy schedule to look down your nose, through your french double doors, out across the northern grounds of your estate, through your steel vertical bar gates, over the head of your security and to us normal folk.

As i'm sure you're educated at one of the more prestigious universities, I'm sure you'll understand that its "these sort of people" that make up the majority of of the footballing (and the bigfooty community). we're not all toothless ferals, hassling you for a buck to feed our smack habit (see what I did there?) We are an educated, intelligent, respectable portion of society who, whilst not visible over your 10-foot hedge, are real and possess valid opinions.

My sincerest apologies if my opinions are somehow inconveniencing you in some way due to my mid-range wage, but i'm quite sick of praetersubstantiational thinking. It had to be said. so suck it up princess...

 

[cammo6556]

My apologies right. I (clearly) despise being defined by what I earn, the car I drive etc. I could go into my personal life and discuss why, but airing my grievances on a public forum is not the right way to go about it.

Having said that, I stand by the main bullet points of my little tirade.

 

[Allefgib]

How's about.. suck it up princess?

Look to quote Craigy... 'we need to be better than that.'

If the club wants to carry themselves that way.. surely at least in the part of your life in which we support the club we can ignore those minor irritations too? I just think the perception there is a continual grievance about being under acknowledged just looks pathetic to anyone who doesn't agree. I know.. because i don't really agree..and to me it just looks pathetic.
