any thoughts anyone

 

[carn tigez]

yeah good read, but did you notice how he looks like an 80 year old in that pic

 

[Tazzytiger]

Agreed, a very good read.
It also backs up my thought that Robert Walls is an absolute tosser!

I still want him to take his game to the Cooney level by next year and he's definitely capable.

Not a bad read, but still implied that Brett was having a big sook about what Walls said, which I believe wrong. It was a crap piece by Walls and the whole Buddy comparison thing is just BS and Lids is smart enough to realise that. Besides Lids has never been a poor performer, and was just unlucky that a bloke in his draft is turning into a Carey/Ablett type matchwinner. Now that Lids is getting the body shape right for an explosive midfielder, we are going to see him dominate. The scary thing is we haven't seen the best of him by half

Thing that made me laugh was Terry talking about the episode, he really can't help himself can he

Robert Walls love Carlton. I don't ever expect him to say a nice thing about us. The best journalists don't show their bias however. Tosser may be a bit much...stupidified by carlton arrogance may be more like it.

I think he will take it way beyond Cooney. He will be a star!

Pathetic of Walls to make a comparison piece when Lids was twenty. I enjoyed Lyall's subtle 'Walls is a ____' references, ie 'Lids won't talk to us because of that ____'s article'.

I posted elsewhere that we should be carefull to not take Lids for granted.

We rave about Foley, Cotchin and some others (fair enough to) but we have in Deledio a very special footballer.
You are correct emperor, his body shape this year is now close to what is needed to be an elite midfielder. He is winning plenty of contested footy now and his performances this year are reflecting this maturity.
The thing with Lids though that others (with all due respect) like Foley, Cooney etc... don't have is his versatility.
He has played off a back flank, we have seen him kick bags of goals as a forward and now he is really starting to dominate in the middle.

Yes I am obviously a massive fan but being a long suffering Tiger tragic, it is so good to see us pick up a great youngster and watch him over his career become a great of the club.

Legend Lids!
