I Never Did It In The Past Because I Hadnt Had A Post For A Good Couple Years So In Time Things Change. Honestly Its Laughable That People Are Making This Big Of A Deal About It. Just Ignore My Posts, Move On, Were All Adults. I Just Write Posts In A Way I Want, Just Ignore It If Its That Much Of An Issue. Haha Its An Internet Forum FFS Its Not The Be All And End All Of The World Lads. Skim Past My Posts I Am Just Using This As An Outlet Of Expression OF Opinion And Am Not Concerned If Someone Reads My Posts Or Not Just Skip What I Write, Dont Reply, And Then Were Both Happy :) Cheers

it may be worth your while booking in a full medical as it wouldn't surprise if you've had a mini-stroke or aneurysm. or mild autism or aspergers? apologies if there is any offense but your behaviour is quite ******ed.

Wasnt Trying To Offend Anyone Mate. Just Surprised People Would Rather Focus On How I Write A Post Rather Then Discussing The Original Post At Hand. Now If I Have Broken A Big Footy Rule With The Way I Post Let Me Know? Until Then Just Ignore What I Write If It Creates Slight Annoyance.

And I Dont Know How Having A Stroke, An Aneurysm, OR Suffering From Autism Or Aspergers Could Possibly Relate To What I Wrote, Or How That Could Be Seen As Some What Funny Or An Appropriate Sledge To Swing At Someone?

So In Turn I Think Your Behaviour Is Quite F*****

You never used to do it, so it's not a habit that you can't get out of. Why did you start?

It genuinely makes your posts more difficult to read; our brain processes capitals with special significance, normally meaning a new sentence, or a proper noun.

Seriously, don't feed the indulgent troll. Block/ban him. Problem solved. Not sure why the mods are entertaining this

Hahaha List A Post Where I Am Trolling, Rubbishing Someone Or Intentionally Trying To Start A Negative Insulting Conversation? I Am Writing My Opinion, Now It May Be Up For Debate But Thats Why Its An Opinion And Its There To Be Argued For And Against. All I Am Doing Is Simply Typing With Capitals And Everyone Is Getting Up In Arms About It. Its Pretty Sad That Keyboard Warriors Would Rather Nit Pick Over How I Type Rather Then Create Conversation About What I Posted.

Seriously Mate Did Your Dad Just Give You Free Time To Use His Computer For Finishing Your Homework? Move Along Child.

Internet forum is a communal space.

Here you are, in a communal space, annoying people. Why? You give no reason, just 'ignore me' instructions.

Instead of stinking up the joint for everyone else, perhaps you could amend your style? Failing that, hopefully you will get banned.

Most here will tolerate quirks but you take it too far.

I Feel Honoured


Hahaha I Thought I Was Actually Typing Some Ok Posts? Who Knew That Capitalising Every Word Would Upset So Many People.

Lighten Up People. Lets Get Back To Talking About Jono O'Rourke. I Think Maybe I Need To Curtail My Expectations Of Him And Accept That Maybe He Will Just Be A Solid Contributor In The Midfield And Not A Star That I Thought He May Have Become. But Like A Couple Members Mentioned Before He Has Only Had One Full Preseason, I Just Cant See Another Full Preseason Making Much Difference To His Game But Would Be More Than Happy To Be Proven Wrong.

Mate All Im Doing Is Capitalising Words. Read My Last Twenty Posts, They Have All Been On The Topic At Hand. Im Not Breaking Any Rules, But By Constantly Complaining And Bringing Up The Way I Write Your Blowing The Issue Out Of Proportion. Lets Just Talk Footy Mate, And Not How I Type About Footy

We are reading words on the internet. You (as has been pointed out by many here now) format your words in a way that annoys people.

Give it a far king rest, champ. You want people to talk footy with you? Lose the capitals.

It's harder to read. You aren't breaking any rules it's just bad forum etiquette like using ALL CAPS IS YELLING, capitalizing the first letter of each word is harder to read than not using capitals at all.

Posters will find anything to complain about but it would be easier to have a discussion on a topic with you if you didn't type the way you did. It's an interesting habit you got into, not sure why you would do it but then I work with a guy who uses caps lock instead of shift all the time, he is also a two finger typer, it is the most painful thing to watch when he is typing in command lines to configure equipment

All good mate, I respect you as a moderator, Ill keep everyone happy by not capitalising words . How precious we have become hahah
 
Give him 2 more years with two more preseasons and he will be in the best 22 on a weekly basis. For the next year and a bit we will still be giving games to all the young players and i believe that if we challenge next year jono will be in the best 21-24. But if we are not he is in the best 22. But I'm expecting from 2018 he is best 22.

If You Dont Think O'Rourke Has Been Underwhelming So Far You Are Delusional Mate. He Was Drafted At Number 2 In 2012 FFS And Hasnt Shown Anywhere Near The Standard Expected Of His Draft Status And Probably Is Hardly Living Up To What We Gave Up To Acquire Him. He Is On The Fringes Of Our Team. The Only "Good Joke" Is What We Gave Up To Pick Up A Player Who Has Potential But Has Never Been In Our Best Players On The Ground In Any Game In His Career At Hawthorn

I don't think he has been underwhelming at all. This is what i expected from a guy with long term injury history and one preseason.
Yes he was a number 2 pick in 2012 which was rated as a weak draft at the time so of course players are going to be taken way earlier than expected. We gave up pick 18 which I'm very happy with and have no concerns with. He has potential and his age profile is better as well. There is no guarantees in the draft at all. The hawks obviously saw more in him than what we could've drafted and the fact that you mention he hasn't been best on field is crazy!!! Look at the players he has around him..........of course he isn't going to get in the best!! He also is getting worked into game conditioning as i saw a stat where he only plays 60-70% of games and he has came back from another hammy injury.

You have just tried to find anything to make a reason why he isn't going well with out looking at the other side. Yes he hasn't been the best, but their is a future with him and the club and when he gets the preseasons into him, which does make a HUGE difference he will be a much better player for it.

Alot of the posters on here calling JOR merely adequate at most things could just as well be describing Brownlow medalist Priddis in his early days.Don't forget if O'Rourke hadn't nailed that goal on 3 quarter time against Swans we may have lost.Give him time.

I try to be glass half full. There's a reason he was picked high, there's a reason we were prepared to give up pick 19 for him.

On the face of it: the trade's a bust, he won't make it, no standout qualities, etc, etc.

From all reports he is fantastic on the track with his skills and fitness but just cant replicate his training form into game form. I watched him very closely during the melbourne match and he seemed to be out of gas by 3/4 time, he had nothing left in the tank in the last qrt, there was a rumor going that the flu went through the club during the week and that may have taken its toll.
 
Think of him as a first year draftee. His injuries have wrecked him, so really going to need to give him a couple of years tbh. I'd be expecting some more fitness and match impact next year.
