I really liked his work today. He really negated medhurst quite well. I also like the way he gets into the opposition. Hes good value.

Medhurst is a little sook who should stop looking for free's.

Yeah he gave Medhurst a bath. I believe I said during the lead up week that Green would be perfect for Medhurst. Whoosha obviously knows what he is doing.
 
medhurst was disgusting out there today.

the way he would worry about is opposition and try to get into a blue instead of doing his job was just poor. and to think i respected this guy before today.

Exactly how I felt.

In the WAFL for Claremont he wasn't like that. Looks like a classic case of believing your own publicity and copying a bad example (Jeff Farmer).

Sooky, sooky, la, la all game long. High hits, diving for free kicks, abusing the umpires, sneaky behind the play digs.

Kasey Green did really well on him - even the goals were usually someone else's fault or just bad luck.

Yep, green was good. Obviously, no love lost between him and Medhurst. Interesting, commentators on the radio called Medhurst a 'seagull'. I think that can be his nickname from now on :D
 
You guys havent watched Freo too much if you didnt notice his antics before.

Every time he misses a mark or is out-contested he whines for a free.
 
I've never been a big fan of Medhurst (his personality not his footballing) and today did nothing to change my opinion of him.

As for the Medhurst v Green battle, probably ended up even. Medhurst kicked two goals which isn't anything great, but 2 goals a game for a forward pocket = 44 for the year, which is pretty good.

Also, whenever the ball got in medhurts region I always found myself very nervy. Can't kick at goal.

I'd probably call that battle a dead even draw.
 
"It's not easy being Green"

My adopted player Green had a blinder today! He really shut down Medhurst (who would be the leading goalkicker if he devoted as much acting and umpiring questioning time to concentrating on the play) who was a dangerous player in last years derbys
 
I always took Medhurst as a good honest player till today.

Watching the lad, he took me by surprise by his whole attitude. He seemed to complain all day at the umps and just kept bitching for a free kick. Seems he has a lot to work on regarding his attitude. These types of players are not good for teams and Freo will be for the better if he gets a reality check and starts to play football instead of pi$$ing and moaning all the time.

To me he seems to smack of the sore loser attitude. In the words of Suzie, he needs to grow up and stop being so immature. :cool:

I've seen him do it a few times before but not quite to the extent he did today.

Perhaps he just got caught up in the whole western derby thing and We have to beat the Eagles type mentallity.
 
I still have nightmares about what Medhurst did to our defence last year.

Kasey Green did the job very well. In fact, I've liked his form all year. Was very surprised when he was dropped against the Crows.

He hasn't done anything really wrong this year, but by the same token, he hasn't done anything overly great. Doing enough to survive at the moment, but in the long run is going to have to pick it up abit.

I'm still not 100% sold on him, but he is a very servicable player.

Yeah, fair enough.

Last year I also questioned just how much 'upside' he had in him. I think that was also the thread where I suggested we trade him for Troy Longmuir - so it shows how much my opinion is worth anyway. :)
 
Green's best game this year, and maybe one of the best of his career- He played Medhurst very very smart.

The thing which struck me was that we seemed to have done our research about Freo, and come up with a pretty good plan for our defenders- with a forward line with Medhurst, Farmer and Croad as the supposed main scoring threats, I think our guys figured early on that they were going to be susceptible to an attack of the aggros if things didn't work out. Hunter, Green and Carroll played those guys to perfection, and after every single passage of play, they were right there getting in their faces. Halfway through, Croad, Medhurst and Farmer seemed to have forgotten about the game and were too busy going at it. The thing is, a defender who picks fights, niggles, and gets on people's nerves is a useful player- they're there to negate, and if a forward is more worried about his man than the ball, then they've done their job. Meanwhile, a forward who gets aggro and picks fights is probably not doing his job- again, his job is to worry about getting the ball and kicking goals, not getting up his defender's nose.
For that reason, I can't help but think that the dockers really need to use Croad (who was constantly picking fights and hitting people with cheap shots after contests) as a CHB. In the forward line, he's a useless, mental liability, as a defender in the Hardwick mold, he might actually be worth his place in the side.

Normally Medhurst is as accurate as they come with set shots.

yea he probaly is, but I seem to notice him quite a bit when he misses. More of a perception thing than anything that comment was. Don't read to much into it ;)
 
Medhurst

I couldn't agree more on Medhurst. A whining little sook. He even yelled at the umpire that it was his fault when he missed a shot. He really needs a reality check. Kasey did a great job of getting under his skin. To think (shudder) that Medhurst was an Eagles supporter and wanted to don the blue and gold.:eek: Although no doubt Woosha would iron out his sooking antics:D

I'm glad other people have remarked on Medhurst's attitude. I thought he looked like a spoilt petulant kid out there yesterday.
 
Yep - that mutant looking creature has a head you wouldnt chop wood on, especially when he's having a hissy fit.

He does look alot like that little kid who lives in holes in mad max 2, and probably has a similiar vocab.
