In the days after Matt Rendell's death, They also showed a picture of a young Gerard Whately being held by Rendell wearing a Fitzroy jumper.

I can only assume he followed them when younger although ive never heard him mention it - thought he was a Cat.

I believe he ditched the Lions when they merged with the Bears

Nah, im with 3KZ - maybe i have nt seen enough of the Suns, but i dont think Ballrad is better than the Frogrom what ive seen.

I don't think you've seen Ballard play then.

I don't think you've seen Ballard play then.

Will have a good chance to check him out on the weekend.

It came down to a choice between Froggy and Charlie Ballard, I think everyone bar 3KZ is Football would take Ballard.

Lester’s numbers are better, he is much stronger on the deck, a more resolute tackle and importantly, he provides significant on field leadership. If we had the magic power to switch the players now, I would keep Lester. Lester is part of a super cohesive and dominant defensive unit. Our defence is a well tuned V6 and all cylinders are firing!

Ballard way in front of Froggy as a footballer IMO 3KZ... eye test.

Not on the numbers.

Really enjoyed filling out that survey from the club. So much ‘old man yells at cloud’ energy. Hope the prize winners aren’t judged by their subservience.

Numbers are half the story if that IMO.

I agree. The reasons I prefer Lester, additional to his superior numbers, relate to his leadership and ability to compliment those around him.

People always ready to criticise and shoot down Froggy as a footballer but god forbid anyone question the untouchables at the club.

I don’t see too many people shooting down Froggy.

 

[rye]

is it really going to be made out to be a controversial take that ballard is a better player than lester?

LOL

ballard is AA quality

Jesus, saying Ballard is better than Froggy Lester isn’t criticising or shooting him down? Ballard is a genuine young gun of the competition. I love Lester but Ballard is freakishly good.

Not criticising Frog, he has been great since he worked his way back into our side, IMO Ballard is just a better player.

Just like Toby Greene is better than Lincoln McCarthy, Christian Petracca is better than Cam Rayner and Clayton Oliver is better than Jarrod Berry etc, doesn't mean I don't like Linc, Jarrod and Cam.

Decisions, decisions! Is M Malice going to support GWS or Melbourne?

So you do think Rayner is a better player than Petracca 3KZ?

Nice!

Did you write a 500 word essay about how poor the coverage of the Academy is, and if they want donations, they have actually let members know our Academy exists.

Both routes lead to bitter disappointment

Would hardly call picking Ballard over Lester in a mock team unfair criticism. Most people on here would agree that Lester's put in a fine season.

The vast majority of those numbers are completely irrelevant when talking about a third tall defender. There is no point quoting things like hitouts, marks inside 50, tackles inside 50, clearances, etc when talking about defenders thry are stats for completely other roles
