Opinion Is it time for Daniel Kerr to go back to the WAFL

[tesseract]

Why do fans think 1 good game cancels out an admitted, by Kerr himself, meh beginning to the season?

The hindsight heroes are virtually saying to Lyyynchy: It doesn't matter if our beloved Eagles players spud it up, for when they do, we'll defend them and excuse such shit performance/s nonetheless. But, when that player who has been spudding it up plays 1 good game, we'll point out 'see, see!, you were wrong, hahaha, lulz at you,' like immature children, completely ignoring the initial spudding it up of the named player. This is all too typical of BF and the fanboi's that reside here.

But why do the baggers think 3 poor games to start a season mean he's a spud and past his use by?

So if this hindsight is typical of fanboi's, what is calling a two time runner up in the brownlow and proven top class player a spud? Just wondering.....

Is this a pisstake?

Kerr had a preseason injury and came in underdone. In Round 1 he struggled a bit, copped a couple of knocks and was subbed off. In round 2 he was entirely decent. In Round 3 he got injured and struggled and barring the injury to Dalziell would have stayed off.

Again, on the back of a poor offseason.

In counter of the above are 10 years in which he has generally been very very good, for some prolonged periods one of the best players in the league and almost always a player who performs on the big stage ...

But yes, his first 3 weeks (for the reasons outlined) were "meh" ....

What's typical is clueless fools having no idea when they are being clueless ... Self-awareness is a skill some could do with acquiring ...

Are you saying I look like homer? Probably do.

You are so much more eloquent than I.

No where did the OP say "Kerr is a spud and past his used by."

No where did Lyyynchy bring Kerr's previous season's history into the equation in the opening post. Lyyynchy spoke of Kerr's performance thus far this season.

Not Lyyynchy, I, or anyone else, is calling Kerr a spud. "Spudding it up" is not calling the player a "spud."

I thought you were playing Devil's Advocate.

I'm going to be looking like Homer shortly if I keep pulling my hair out like I did today.

That's an incredibly fine distinction you're drawing there.

Tomato tomatoe. EDIT, Fivey beat me to it.

So how many sub par games would you give a proven A grade on baller, before calling for them to be dropped? 3 wasn't a bit of an early call? I am saying it's all well and good to call those defending Kerr's inclusion as fanboi's, but just because somebody defends a player doesn't make them a fanboi.

Thanks for the input, but we don't need the personal attacks - FS.

Kerr's preseason or lack of it is irrelevant. If he's out there playing, he's deemed ready to go. A lack of preseason may very well be the reason Kerr has under-performed thus far, but it doesn't make him beyond criticism.

Kerr's previous 10 years are not in question in this thread though. So, it's irrelevant.

You bring up Kerr's history, even though it's invalid reasoning going by the opening post, yet go onto mention "What's typical is clueless fools having no idea when they are being clueless ... Self-awareness is a skill some could do with acquiring." Given Kerr's history isn't in question, I'll answer your quote by saying 'indeed.'

 

[tesseract]

Clear, IMO. "Spudding it up" can be used as to individual games without the label 'spud' being inferred. "Spud," on the other hand, labels the player as so.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Given the whole premise of this thread was how long the runs Kerr has on the board would sustain him for a period of poor form, I don't see how E87's point was invalid reasoning.

It's simply restating the reasoning of the majority in this thread, which is "after 10 years of great form we can forgive him a few down weeks"

Would you not take his previous playing record into account before determining that they need a spell in the 2s, wouldn't it come into the criteria? Just as the lack of pre-season would come into the criteria, on top of the fact that the second game of the season he wasn't bad.

So if you were coach, what criteria would you use to determine if you thought it was time to spell them to the magoos? After all, that is what this thread is about, not about criticising a player.

Well that distinction is reasonably clear but your original use of "spudding it up" was nowhere near as clear.

If Daniel Kerr wasn't playing tonight he wouldn't have had the opportunity to find good form and in doing so been a crucial cog in winning tonight's game. Champions deserve the opportunity to find form through a few games. He has been heavily tagged over the last few weeks, so while he may not have had the possessions to constitute a good game, opposition coaches were still worried enough to try and nullify him and in doing so allowed guys like Scooter and Shuey a better run in the game. Seems to have worked out for the best i would think.

I'm not calling fanboi's those who defended Kerr's inclusion, but rather those who excuse poor performance regardless.

Kerr may be proven, but he has to continually prove himself and not be carried by reputation. My reasoning is already expressed in this thread.

You've explained yourself. Whether it amounts to "reason" is debateable.

Sure, Kerr has to prove himself "continuously" in he same way Judd does or Buddy does or, well you get he point. Once a bloke has as many runs on the board as Kerr does the fact you have already proven yourself does factor in.

Especially when the 2 poor games were entirely explicable. The other one was fine.

The premise of the OP and yourself is flawed and silly....

 

[Coast Guard]

id say that the OP has been answered loud and clear by Kerr's performance tonight.

NO it is NOT time for Daniel Kerr to go back to the WAFL/close thread.

Been in my SC from day one.

YEAH..........................NAH!!! Been watching that goal again and again sexy as

Yeah, but dropped him to my bench this week. IDIOT. But I put Scully on. Genius.

Pridinator, that might just be the best thing about this thread. Thank goodness I didn't close it earlier.

No. The premise of this thread has nothing to do with 10 years of Kerr's previous playing history. This thread is about this season, nothing more. Re-read the opening post. No such indication that Kerr's previous years is included.
