dazza,

Firstly, they're Champion Data stats (AFAIK), so if you have an issue with them take it up with them.

Again, the argument wasn't about the "form" of DJ and Hunt - it was about who was "worse".

All I'm saying is that recent games have more to do with form than do games played a year ago. Surely you can't disagree with this.

In terms of who is "better" or who is "worse", that's a more general question than form and so it warrants a broader assessment, including last year.

Your last point is salient. If Hunt was dropped for those things then if all else was equal there would be other defenders in the gun this week. I'm betting that once again it will be a case of different standards applied to different players in this team.

i dont think i said either was worse than the other.

DJ is solid but nothing else, good forwards cut him up as much as they would any of our other small defenders. that i believe is the deeper issue, a lack of quality of a small defender.

you cant say that bomber has different rules for different players, that would surely cause unease among the playing group.

I know you didn't. Others did.

Surely you jest!

foreskin, a ling questioner cannot possibly have a valid opinion on DJ - you surely paint him with the same brush do you not?

There are different rules for different players - and different tolerance level for that matter. It happens at every club.

Had Ben Cousins not been the Brownlow Medallist and numerous winner of club champions, there is little doubt he would have been given his marching orders by now.

Why's that TTC?

 

[darren forssman]

Why's that TTC?

i guess because you questioned my opinion on DJ due to my opinion on ling.

Nope. Said I wasn't surprised that you held that opinion.

 

[darren forssman]

Nope. Said I wasn't surprised that you held that opinion.

yeah, but the implication that your not surprised that i held that opinion on DJ coz of my opinion on Ling infers that my opinion on DJ is not to be taken seriously.

You're reading too much into it.

I was merely pointing out that this wasn't the first occasion that you had failed to recognise the good aspects that a player brings to the team. It wasn't supposed to belittle your opinion. It was supposed to challenge it.

 

[TheTimeCometh]

Nope. Said I wasn't surprised that you held that opinion.

so DJ and Ling have similar strengths and weaknesses? i still don't get the connection to Ling over any other players that come under (particular) scrutiny from foreskin or anyone else for that matter.


you "failed to reconise" foreskin - hahahaha!!!! not that you should feel ashamed, just don't do it again - okay?

Do you think it could be that they are both taggers?
