Does Bews have a clue?

[rizzo]

Bewsy did the mid year review of the players that have played and gave them a mark from A+ to E, treating it as if it was a school. Anyway some of the grades he has given is a joke.

- Gave "C's" to blokes like Blake, Moons, Johnson, Mackie
- He also gave a C+ to otto, who has been sensational.

Then gives players like Stokes (C+), Enright (B) Kelly (C+), Hawkins (C+) which are all above what they have been playing.

He also said that Chapman has spent to long in the "Sick bay". Hes only missed 3 matches, and has been one of our best this year.

Bewsy cannot honestly say that those players have done better then the likes of Otto, Johnno and Blake... Surely...

Mmmmmmnuuuggghhhh yeah nah.

I think Dog and Moons are hard done by to get Cs. I wouldn't have though anyone would be disappointed with Blake's mark - most of us had him as an F after the Bulldogs game. He's certainly improved vastly, but he still has a long way to go, particularly in general skills.

As for the rest - if Enright is a B, so are Otto, Stokes, Mackie and Kelly. Dog and Moons B+/A-. Chappy A- as well - hasn't been great since coming back. Most of the defenders and Corey/Selwood A. Jimmeh and Gazza A+.

As a journalist Bewsy makes a very good footballer

Only grades I agree with out of those are Gazza's, Jimmy's and Josh's. Makes you wonder what the likes of Selwood, Varcoe, Blake, Milburn etc. have to do to get at least a B.

Federal Government funding, they had to get home schooled.

 

[Cohzee]

He has had some decent articles this year, but this one would have to be his worst. I started reading it and about 1 minute later I went straight to the 9 letter word.

Waste of 8 pages.

Nice one!

Considering the grades you'd think Geelong were sitting about mid-table battling for a spot in the 8!

Maybe because that's all the appendages Bews had to count with....who knows?

 

[Seb]

No love for Stokes?

C+ and a B-?

B+ for mine. Gun.

 

[Zeroman]

I would have preferred to have seen a most valuable player to least ranking, rather than school kid stuff. With perhaps + for playing at new levels / - for playing below expectations.
