Most Pumped Up Player by Supporters

[Val Venis]

Potatoe O'Halpin from Carlton.. I mean the Bullants

He established himself in the first team in the 2nd half of 06 and will continue to improve this year...Collingwood just as bad singing praise to another Irish man who I haven't even seen before

Murphy, numerous Blues fans have named him in the 2007 AA side, he has played 12 games FFS

 

[Smell The Glove]

Well the two that are leading this poll are the ones that should be. Lance Franklin has played about three decent games in his career, yet Horforn supporters seem to think he is god (or at least as good as Judd).

Brock McLean has done a fair bit more than Franklin, but the way they talk about him it would seem as if he is a 10 year, 200 game premiership captain, 5 time Brownlow/Coleman/Norm Smith medallist. Truth is, he has simply peaked quicker than most players, so Melbourne supporters seem to think they can get up on their high horse and complain about every player (which make up about 80-90% of players drafted) that doesnt reach their maximum potential in the same time Brock has. Melbourne supporters always embarass themselves when talking about Brock.

How many times have people embarrased themselves on bigfooty by saying McLean has already peaked or has no scope for improvement

Zero.

That's a fair while to still be bitter.

Pretty sure Mooney isn't a future leader of the club, but just you watch him in 2007.

Bitter? The blokes a cat - literally - he adds no value. He acts tough but most of his agression is cowardly acts.

Pretty sure he is not a future leader?? What are you on - 100% sure he is not a future leader.

"but just you watch him in 2007" perfect timing for a thread with this title!

I went for Franklin in the absence of Q Lynch.

Who is Higgins?

open up your other eye.



or you one-eyed?

I'd say McLean.

But then again, I guess Melbourne supporters have very little else to be excited about after a 43 year premiership drought and the dearth of young talent at the club.

I dont see how Mclean can be over-hyped. He's a 20 year old who will be in the top 10 midfielders this year, and likely captain of the club in the next 2 years. There isnt a need to pump him up. He does that himself with inspiring performances like in the final Vs St Kilda last year.
How the hell can Judd or Kerr be over-hyped too?! Theyre both stars. Judd is the best player in the league, and Kerr is right behind him.
From the above list, I'd probably say Franklin. Only because he hasnt performed consistently yet. He will in the future, and he will be a gun. So that makes the hype irrelevent, because he will prove himself.

Calrton supporters, quit trolling. We get you're bitter, but quit ruining threads.

dare i say it but i can't believe our boy tambling wasnt mentioned!

 

[tigerT]

dare i say it but i can't believe our boy tambling wasnt mentioned!

we spend all our time defending him from delinquent trolls to have anytime to pump him up, he'll do it himself this season

 

[jnash196]

Has to be Andrew "Dud" Walker

 

[Big Nasty]

Lanky Franklin and of course Q.ueen Lynch

 

[goalpie]

Who is the most pumped up player on bigfooty by his own supporter base? If you think it's another, by all means, fire away and say.

To have McClean, Hodge, Kerr and Judge in that poll shows how clueless you must be.

Name just one Carlton player who was more effective than him last year

 

[amos]

BUDDY!! The hype doesn't hurt him it seems.
