If you dont know, why comment?
I didn’t comment on his ability did I? I commented on alleged attitude issues and offered both sides of the spectrum. I hardly put the kid down. What are you so sensitive about?Timmy from Thomastown said:

Gee, I rememeber a young kid who came to Collingwood and everyone said "he was up himself" they even game him a nic name of FIGJAM.
I don't see anything wrong with a young kid being full of confidence and determination.
After all, it didn't hurt Buckley.

JA , all i can say is you are a brave man even posting on this board . These weboards thrive on rumors and heresay. rightly or wrongly it is part of the deal in being an afl footballer. you just have to look at the rumors about bomber thompson as to how damaging it can be or look at the rubbish didak copped for doing something most of us probably do on a weekly basis.
At the end of the day if you son is good enough then it is his football that will do the talking. Good on you for sticking up for your son but it might not be a bad thing to ignore the rumors because it will get a hell of alot worse if and when he becomes a regular senior player.
good luck, hope your son makes it.
ps
And even if he is a bit over confident , he would not be the first. He would be in good company. There's a bloke by the name of Aker who has had a fair career

To quote the great philospoher and poet, Shirley Strachan, ego is not a dirty word.
I'm lucky enough to know one of the fitness specialists down at Collingwood, I spoke to him last night on the phone regarding this issue........He said it was rubbish, "JA is a good kid with a level head who works as hard as anyone at the club and he'll get he's chance soon"
Collingwood will be off to Spain in early November too to continue there altitude training from there Arizona experiance last year.....

Murray, here lies the problem with this country overall! Its called the Tall Poppy Syndrome! We like to cut down anyone who has ability, Confidence and Determination to make ourselves feel better about our own deficincies!
Very Sad Indeed! From what I have heard from people that have met him, he is very approchable and pleasant off the field! I certainly hope he is an absolute Mongrel on it as we have enough Pussies on it and I would hate for JA to be another!

The best thing we can do for JAJH, and he can do for himself (which he has done) is keep the fact he is his father under wraps. Its ok now but when he starts playing games if we help him keep a low profile he won't be targeted.

Jabso, as much as I appreciate your concerns, it's probably a bit late to hide who I am and I can handle myself when it comes to criticism from the public. I spent a number of years in the Vic Police Force so it is fair to say I have had my share of dealing with the unsavoury side of the public.jabso said:

Jeez thats pathetic, you dont even know these people yet ur the first to make a judgement about their personalities, get a life seriously! JA's father has every right to come onto this board like anyone else, its just that he has a son on our list that makes him different. He is a valuable member too on this forum as he regularly gives us photos of the players training and williamtowns game, especially helpful for those of us that dont live in melbourne or victoria. And he is just doign what any father would do, Im sure you'd defend your family as well!

JAJH, sorry to annoy you but Illes was told Wednesday evening, a couple weeks ago, that he'd be selected against Adelaide. Just curious of John has recieved the same news tonight from MM, I'd hope thats whats been said.
Another question, do you believe JA is ready for finals football if he was picked within the next few weeks or it'd be better for him to play a game or two then go back and prepare for a big one next season..?
Rusling better be in as well. Form warrents it!
One of the big three should be out (Bucks, Taz, Pebbles)

What a stupid bloody question. Why dont you ring Mick Malthouse and ask him yourself?

I wish I knew..I have been waiting all week to hear if he is getting a run with the Pies this week. I thought the team list would have been posted by now seeing as they are playing Friday night. I don't have any doubt he is ready for finals whether it be with Willy or the Pies...if you are selected,you play. If I hear anything, I will let you all know.
