Roast IF it isn't biased or ncompetent..... THEN it must be inciteful media coverage part II

[RookiePick]

Ill be controversial and say Shepp is ahead of putting a square peg in a round hole like McGovern/McIntosh in that spot and also ahead of Guy McKenna. I also think Shuey has had a better career then Kerr who is still on the bench

I'm presuming this is recency bias. McKenna is the blueprint for the modern half-back. Shep might have a very slight aerial edge over Bluey, that is more than compensated by McKenna's ground level work, attacking attributes and quarterback like leadership.

It was more or less the square peg in a round hole issue

I tend to think Sheppard is the blue print for the old school back pocket. Someone who defends first and foremost. Im just thinkin that as a man on man defender, Shepp is the best so deserves that spot over McKenna who was more of a attacking HB flanker who in our case is surpassed by Hurn and Worsfold in that respect

 

[Cuzz09]

Yeah I get the feeling theres a few youngins in here that never saw Bluey play.

Was the perfect example of a perfect HBF.

He did get a few hangers taken in him over the years though lol that always annoyed me as Bluey was one of my fave players.

McKenna was great with the ground ball. He did have a bit of a hunch which helped him swoop the ball off the ground. A beatiful kick of the ball too.

Did Bluey kick a goal with his last kick?

Worsfold was much more a lock down defender than Bluey.

Geez, I love Shep but there’s no way he’s getting a spot in our all time team over Bluey. Not yet anyway.

I remember him as more of a knock down rather than lock down defender.

 

[Cuzz09]

ah thanks I was trying to put that on here

2:07 goal with his last kick as an Eagle.. passed to by Cuzz who would take over as captain. Good to see Neale Daniher

The smiling assassin, so apt...old school Biff+Bash variety! Bluey was very clean and tidy, a smooth operator.
That team was another level...

No one listened to Ken Judge. Just ask Ken Judge (yes I know he's passed away, don't @ me campaigners)

15/22 we gave up 100 points or more
4 of those 15 we gave up more than 150

"Judge got sacked because he tried to change the culture!"

Jeez St Kilda must've been shite.

Jeez St Kilda must've been sh*te.

It was the year they got another wooden spoon.

They did get Nick Riewoldt with the number 1 though

 

[Rowan18]

People think 2020 is bad, 2000 was a year when the Eagles sucked and Melbourne made a GF! Unthinkable compared to today.

Ken Judge was the worst f*cken coach this club ever had. He had no feckin idea what he was doing. A very Freo-esque management decision.

However the worst thing he ever did was bite the hand that fed him after being sacked. If he had just put his bitterness about what happened to the side im sure he would have led a much happier life.

He was also handed a list that Malthouse rung the s**t out of to keep scraping into finals.

While there is some truth to this, Worsfold took almost the same list to the finals in his first year in charge after Judge.

Judge was a bad fit for the club and didn't have the tool set to get the best out of the list

Edit: Looking up his record at Hawks
8th
15th
13th
9th

He always had poor to mediocre results when in charge.
