Analysis Lin Jong 2017

[bresker]

After an off season break and I've decided that my first post should be a thread.

I've been lurking on the board and.....

May I ask everyone a favour?

If you're going to post about Lin Jong do it in here. I'm fed up with threads getting sidetracked with circular discussions around one player.

Do the rest of us a favour and talk about him in here.

Mods Ant_ , Igloo Mofra & Mike__ could I please ask you to do a brother a solid? If gameday/review threads start getting dominated by Lin Jong discussion could you move the posts in here?

On behalf of everyone who wants to discuss something other than the merits or otherwise of one player.

Personally, I quite like him sometimes and other times I don't really like him but mostly I don't think about him that much

I'm happy for the shitfight to occur within the boundaries of this thread. That is its sole purpose. Shitfight away.

That's gonna have to be a negative on that one, bresker . Mostly because of the pure volume of posts about Jong that happen in an insanely short amount of time, and it would throw threads out of whack. Plus moving 50 odd posts every now and then is not a fun time.
The last Jong thread was locked because there was too much shitfighting. And as a result, BF rules were consistently being broken.
I'll give everyone a chance to not be psychos at each other in here if they want to talk about him. But first sign of it turning to poo, the lock is gonna have to go on. Been too many chances as it is.

Fair call. If anyone has any other solutions fire away....the board is becoming unreadable at times, and possibly unwelcoming to newbies, due to this issue.

Great player, will be best 22 by the end of the season

It's not a tribute, it's to contain discussion from derailing other threads

I have a feeling this thread was created to confine mattdougie's jong hate to 1 thread. Might as well lock it now.

Locking the thread is the easy option. The majority on here can discuss this subject in a respectful and mature manner. Why should we be denied the right to discuss matters relating to Jong?

Instead of locking the thread, the Mods should address the behaviour of the individual poster breaking the BF rules, and ultimately remove him/her (if warranted) in order for the rest to carry on with the discussion. It is not a palatable solution to close down a discussion subject because one (or a few posters) go outside the boundaries of what is considered acceptable.

To calculate the predicted number of posts about Jong use this formula:

J = MD squared

It's called Libba's theory of negativity

Uhhhh. Debatable. Very debatable.

 

[maddog37]

Still lots of upside to my eye as illustrated by his impact against the Suns in that praccy match.

Keep him forward of centre to minimise his error impact though.

 

[BEaston]

We already had a Lin Jong thread. It turned out exactly how you think it would and was locked.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Like Nevile Chamberlain proclaiming to have achieved "peace in our time" I'm sure that this thread was well intentioned. Unfortunately its bound to be about as effective and is doomed to failure. I'll leave it up to your imagination as to who's who in this analogy.

Jong has a half decent game and some folk crap on as if we've witnessed the second coming. It would be great if all the Jong goo could be contained in here. I'm sure that is this thread's intention and I applaud the OP for constructing a Jong goo containment vessel.

AFL ratings have Jong 17th (ahead of players missing lots of footy and noting mids are overrated in these ratings systems). His last B and F rated him 27th.

These would be facts showing Jong is depth. But there is no place for that sort of negative, borderline racist talk here. So...

FACT: Finey last night predicted Jong will be AA....

Isn't that exciting?

 

[ossie_21]

Can explode out of packs & on form, can take a good grab in the F50. Will presumably play this week, may only be round 1 but how he acquits himself will go a long way to seeing how long he will stay in the side

What - did Finey say that ? I knew he is as dumb as d--- t but he now needs drug testing.
far out Jong goes ok but AA - cant see that happening anytime soon.

By the way most on here that defend Jong don't think he is the " second coming "

 

[stefoid]

I have my doubts - hes the athlete, trying to become a footballer.

BUT. I had my doubts about young Easton as well. I think the thing common to both of those players is they have some kind of contested edge to them. Some athletic players dont, and they are the ones doomed to fail because without contested ability, you have to get by on your skills. Catch 22.

Easton didnt really flourish until we adopted the zone defence where he can play to his strengths. I dont think its that easy for Lin though.

Sounds like we agree.

I said 'some' crap on like Jong is the second coming, you said 'most' don't.

 

[Here we go dogs]

I like jongs preseason, I reckon he will be best 22 all year, his not a player you can drop in and out as he seems a big confidence player imo.
Jong was also very good before injuring himself against Sydney in 2015, he potentially would of had the breakout season instead of Mitch wallis if that didn't happen. And still Jong was able to have a major impact in a final.
I was disappointed in his season last year before the elim final where I thought he was one of our best before injury.
