Hayden Ballantyne...

[MrChristo]

Sorry, not specifically a SC thread as such...

...but mix the most annoying traits of Milne, Steve Johnson and maybe Didak...take away the combined ability and here's what's left!!

It's horrible watching this bloke fill in for a vacant forward spot.

Not sure how bad the WAFL is...

In defense of Balla, he isn't exactly getting the best supply into the forward line from his midfield.

 

[Hot Tiges]

very porplyzia like

 

[MrChristo]

Of course not...but I think you missed the point...

If you've watched him you've seen the constant playing for free kicks, whinging at umpires, whinging at players, mouthing off to opposition players even after being beaten...

Last night was embarrassing for him.

Seems to have an amazingly high, and totally unrealistic view of his own ability.

Anyway...looks like I'm stuck with him now Kosi is gone.

EDIT: Surely as un-Porplyzia like as there can be?!

 

[Judd_Magic]

Glad I dodged the Ballantyne bullet, boy is he shocking and argee with the OP.

I have M.Brown filling in for Pavlich and Stevie J. Sure he isn't the worlds greatest SC scorer but you can at least count on him to get a 50 odd which is a hell of a lot better than a dounut.

Nahas and Jurrah and probably Warren before he got injured have been the stand out rookie forwards for me this year. Wish I had Nahas, he's a gun!

 

[MrChristo]

Yeah, had Warren (still do )...

...and the whole reason I ended up with this dud is because Warren had injury mk.1, the same week Goodwin went down.

Sure enough the whole reason for picking him turns to crap as he isn't picked the first week after the bye and I play 1 short anyway.

Anyway, the purpose wasn't to bitch and moan about how I've ****ed up the last 6 weeks...

...but Mr. Ballantyne (SuperCoach ability aside). I guess he's just one of those guys you either love or hate.

I just find it hard to believe he kicks x-amount of goals consitantly in the twos...
...either he gets a lot of free kicks, or Western Australian football is in some trouble.

Have you seen the ladder? ...and that's their best 2 teams.

Why is the AFL looking to put teams into the Gold Coast and West Sydney when they should look into putting an AFL team into Fremantle.

Well you have no idea mate. The bloke had no pre-season because of injury and the state of our team atm doesn't help his cause at all. WAFL is just as strong as the VFL, especially last 3-4 years. And you expect him to have the ability of Didak, SJ or Milne in his first year at the AFL level.


Goose.

 

[MrChristo]

lol!

Didn't for one second "expect" him to have the ability of those 3...in fact, I believe I said quite the opposite.

fwiw, I'm not sure how you equate no pre-season to being a whinging little bitch either!

No pre-season [and being injured for abouth half a season] means he's not really setting the world on fire just yet, although, he had a really good game against Carlton [his 2nd]. That was your whinge, his performances.

As for him being a whinging little bitch, that doesn't concern me at all as long as he uses his potential to become a very good small forward. One of your champions is as big whinging bitch [Brad Johnson] and it seems you don't have a problem with it.
You start the thread and you're not quite sure what you really wanted to say yourself. You have NFI.

hes best is behind him.

plays for himself. not that effective collecting disposals up the ground.

plonk him close to the square where he was at his AA best.

Hi!

Considering Carltank have been an embarrassment for the last 10 years and a blight on the AFL exploiting loopholes and cheating, I'd say those in glass houses....

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Learnt my lesson on small fwds this year via Jeff Garlett so thankfully, I didn't butter up for another SC punishing on this guy. Mind you, Messers Nahas & Dick seem to be defying the odds.

He probably will be a good player over the next cple of years but for the moment, as far as SC goes, I reckon he's poison.

1) Yes I do. Can't stand the way he exagerates for free kicks. I think it takes away from his second efforts. Not sure why you'd want to play a guessing game about someone that wasn't even mentioned...

2) I know exactly what I'm saying...you've got blinkers on.

Either way, let's just hope he can get a kick on his own merits instead of flailing his arms about and whining about any form of contact before he even hits the ground...(and not feet first, just to accentuate it all.)
