Nail. Hammer. Head. It makes my blood boil that players like this are still on out list and Jason Torney is playing for South Adelaide this weekend.
Nobody polarizes Crows supporters more than Luke Jericho. Nobody.
I'm unashamedly not a fan of Jericho at all, and basically agree with Drummond that I would not have picked him for this game.
Having said that I'd like to put up a proposition.
IF Jericho puts in 100% like every other player and plays well then even the most passionate Jericho hater will acknowledge that and give him the credit that he deserves.
Even though I don't rate him I will look at his game objectively and dispassionately and comment accordingly.
HOWEVER
Equally I want the Luke Jericho supporters (who coveniently have to date overlooked the one hand attempts to mark or tackle, the half-hearted attempts to get the ball or chase an opposition player who has the ball) to come out and acknowledge that Jericho let the team down IF he is guilty of these faults again on Saturday rather than the usual defence of the indefensible.
Is it a deal???

I think it's a joke he's on the List, but seeing as he is listed, then obviously you'd expect him to play a game or two.
Again - delisting Torney and keeping Jericho blew my mind. Jericho would want to show something this weekend, or it'll be it I'd think.

this is about the 4th or 5th time you have said the same thing, in a different context in the last couple of days.
questioning what's going on is a valid part of a discussion board - and yes, some people behave like asshat's doing it - but you've got to let go of the idea that we shouldn't question or discuss.
Drummond is an hysterical old woman at times, but he does know his beans.
Mate I clarified that the kid has talent. Oodles of it in fact. I want him to make me a laughing stock, I'm waiting for him to crack egg all over my face, it just never happens.
The kid doesn't want it bad enough. He doesn't want to be an AFL footballer. Jason Torney is an above average/excellent (at times) AFL footballer who bled for this footy club and genuinely cherished his spot on our list. He's running around captaining the Prancers because we elected to let him go and keep Luke on the list and that irks me to buggery.
I'll go one step further, if Luke has a 0 possession, 0 goal, 4 frees against game BUT he chases, he tackles, he contests, he walks off the ground looking physically spent rather than a bloke who's just had a happy ending Chow Chow massage then I'll go down to the clubs in a borat mankini holding a handmade sign and petition for his spot to be safe for next week.
The thing that irrits me the most is that he can have a woeful day and snare two gimmie junk time goals and apparently that justifies his selection, yet a bloke like Doughty who's maligned on this board non-stop, even when it's not warranted, cops a spray and screams from the fans for his spot on the list everytime he breathes.
Attention Jericho, Prove me wrong, prove your worth as a footballer. I would love to be shown up as a total assclown (NOTE: Would not be the first time)
I shan't be dusting off the mankini too quickly methinks
Jericho's contract ends this year, that's why he wasn't gone last year. lifesaver for him, seeing he didn't prove his worth last year. i'm not a huge fan of his work, but i hope he does well and kicks a bag of goals, and tackles hard!!! and sticks marks.
That's the crux of it right there. It hasn't happened yet. It's not that we don't want him to succeed. Of COURSE we do. I want him to go out there and play like a guy in his 6th year, fighting for his spot on the list.
The problem is that he's been in this position for years now and has not improved the areas that have always held him back - the key one being heart. We're not asking for every player to throw their body into every contest and come away with 15 hard ball gets every match. I'm happy for Luke to be a reciever. We're asking for every player to do the basics - chase, attack the ball and the man, commit themselves to contests, 2nd, 3rd, 4th efforts. Play with passion. In 1 game at AFL level David Mackay, built like a twig, showed more of that passion than Jericho has in his entire career. It's at the stage where we dread his selection because we know he hasn't changed.
We want him to, but it's impossible for all of us to be blindly optimistic about it.
Don't see what the big deal is. Jericho was a bit of a suprise selection, however, this then lets Edwards Goodwin and even Macca to run Midfield is we get in strife. Im not the biggest fan of Jericho, but if he's been on the crows list for as long as he's been, then now is the time to prove his worth.
He's also a nice chap, had a chat to him at the Crows-Bulldogs game last week, got his autograph

Thats not what the AFC needs right now, we need to learn the exist without these players we need to develope a new midfeild and against other teams quality midfeilds.
i also got his autograph, when he came into the pharmacy before his hernia operation.He's also a nice chap, had a chat to him at the Crows-Bulldogs game last week, got his autograph
but yeh, i say give the guy a chance; if he does poorly, then the fans can bag him some more post-game.
Oh dear, this has nearly become a more unbelievable story than Matthew Smith.
On current form I would have thought Campbell and Massie would have got a gig ahead of him.
Once and for all Luke, please put in a cracker of a game and prove us all wrong !

Luke Jericho Take 52 - Our selections of late are that poor you have to laugh.
Great post. Its what annoys me about him too. I hope Luke watches Braveheart before the game and goes in bloody hard too prove everyone on here wrong. A courageous mark or two and a VBlike attack on the ball will do more for my belief in him than 5 soft goals could. For the people questioning why we kept him and not Torney its obviously he had another year on his contract and the fact that if he does come good we have a bloke for another 7 years. I hope Luke has a huge one and an even bigger year
His flexibility. He can play all 3 positions equally as bad.

Heres the thing... who's the great determiner of how well hes played, and how much hes putting in?
Jericho has become an obsession for this board, to the point that no matter how he plays there will be the same hysterical wank fest about how 'soft' he is... delievered through keyboard of course. Id love for you to tell me how i can determine if a guy gives 100% or not, as opposed to someone giving 90%
Even is he does have a great game this week big deal, what does it prove. We all know what type of player Jericho is nothing is going to change after 1 or 10 good games. A leopard doesn't change its spots.
We are supposed to be building our next premiership team. Jericho has none of the traits that you demand from your players come September - willingness to put their body on the line, aggression, work ethic, fierce tackling. So what's the point of pesisting with him?
Anyone remember Jericho's performance in the night final against Geelong.

But isn't that the whole point. He's played poorly in so many games why does he keep getting considered. Its not its though we are talking about a great or even good player whose form has wavered. He has shown little from day one and shows the same pretty much in every game he plays.

But would we rather sacrafice 4 points and another loss to the Eagles?
Personally i dont care how we win just as long as we end this unfortunate chain of losses against them.

Deal. On that one handed attempt at marking though.... Tippett or Sellar (can't remember which) did it in the NAB Cup and everyone was frothing at the mouth with excitement. Jericho does it and he's crucified. All I have ever asked for when people assess this poor bugger is a balanced perspective. All his haters look for are his faults. They also always overlook the good things he does. I can see his deficiencies, I am personally surprised he's been given another go but I hope like hell he grabs it (the other chance
) with both hands and throttles it within an inch of its life!
I saw all of Norwood's trial games, excluding their last one, and his pre-season wasn't that bad. One game he was off, another serviceable but the last game I saw he was pretty good (kicked three goals, went hard at the ball).
So I think its a bit unfair to say he's constantly showing little.
