Click bait

I notice that the Bulldogs have a new young Sudanese player debuting this week - Here's hoping Luke Darcy is on the call so he can tell us how athletic he is every time he touches the ball.

And will be compared to CJ every chance they get

 

[spudmaster]

Just because they are aboriginal they should not be compared all the time. Why not compare Pickett to Milne? See how Pickett goes when the team is struggling as well. Very early call from afl.com.au

Oof!
Think I'd rather the Rioli comparison as a player to be frank.

 

[The hands of stone]

Ok the AFL website is saying that Kosi Pickett is already better than Rioli - Don't get me wrong, Kosi is an amazing talent but seriously - 4 time premiership player Norm Smith medallist and did those freakish things which such regularity over an entire career not just 5 games absolute bollocks to compare them.

Mind you if Melbourne balls up their payment structure and he Kosi wants and deserves more they are giving him when his next contract comes along I am more than happy for us to grab him and stick put him in our forward line.

Well I do remember that pivotal 1-3 contest on a wing in a GF that Kosi won , also that sublime crumb and goal he kicked in the same quarter of the same GF.
So its a good comparison ....yeah nah

I just feel sorry for Kozzie as its not fair comparing the kid so early in his career to someone who ended up achieving so much let alone blatantly going out and insinuating that he already might be better. Let the kid play FFS and just enjoy the ride without heaping on the pressure of comparing him to a 4 x premiership player and 1 x Norm Smith medalist.

Yep and will stumble around trying not to make a racist type comment .
'Gee I really love watching these players um ah from a human background , just the way they play the game '

 

[LMGjr]

Hmmm - I can only do my picks for tonight based on umpires.

The handbags will still do fine but it will not be as well as usual, since snitchmond are just as protected - no idea of the ins and outs - but I just can't ever pick the handbags.

As long as sook scott needs his dummy I just don't care - as most won't about this post - totally bored with this season already, it aint got nothing to with us, because I like watching us reset - but just the comp in general.

Meh its all good. Why get worked up about it? The article is chock full of praise for Cyril too.

Kossi is a god damn delight to watch.

 

[MrPremiership]

Every indigenous small forward is the next Cyril

Every big bodied midifelder is the next Dusty

Every athletic KPF is the next Buddy



Punditry at its laziest

 

[Pessimistic]

So which of the current ‘once in a generation’ players is the best?

 

[Off The Couch]

And what are we comparing them against - what’s the criteria

each of them bring something different - I always loved watching Eddie and Cyril play for example. Both exciting players to watch and both could turn a game in a heart beat

At the moment I love watching Kozzie and Shai and then there’s Edwards and yes I am only selecting Aboriginal players because this seems to be a “thing” with the media

‘I’m looking right now at Tom Hawkins who had to be given a lot of senior experience before he came good. And I mean a lot

 

[Off The Couch]

I rest my case - Shai took a great mark (might be a car)

Exciting player to watch

Has looked very good for a while now. Would be a great acquisition for us.

 

[theiaofseed]

Geelong look so slow, dumped one of their few fast player in Clark.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

6 frees to Geelong
6 frees to them for high...

 

[theiaofseed]

He's the player I hope Rocket Mitchell can become. They have similar traits.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Richmond might not play a sophisticated game style but damn it must be hard to play against. They just keep coming at the opposition, relentless pressure.

No wonder they often run away with it in the final quarter, the opposition is just beaten down by then.

 

[Pessimistic]

It seems a little unfair for one team to have both dusty and Shai

 

[Pessimistic]

Geelong Entitlement training starting to sink in for Cameron

 

[Off The Couch]

Geelong Entitlement training starting to sink in for Cameron

he was the same at GWS - it’s probably what made the cats notice him

 

[Mitchell Madness]

This is so much like every hawks vs cats game from 2009 until 2016.
Richmond, like hawthorn dominate but miss easy shot, cats holding on and getting soft as he'll frees

 

[heh]

I think I have finally come to fully hate Geelong.. used to respect them now I just want to see them flogged.

Especially with Selwood sooking for frees all game.
