Player Watch Ned Long

[gouki88]

That he had a whole 5 kicks for the night and turned it over 5 times which is 100% correct

You’re being deliberately obtuse now

I always think of the warden going psycho in Shawshank Redemption when i hear that. Obtuse must have been the "champ" of that era

 

[eddiesmith]

Looking at season stats and Neddy turned over 20% of his disposals, pretty good strike rate, although couldn’t beat Steele Sidebottom

Hilarious coming from you, not allowed to say negative things about Collingwood players now?

Nothing wrong with Criticism/negative comments. But when it’s non stop bagging of a player in their own thread it becomes nothing but abuse. There’s a difference.

I don’t rate Fin Macrae or HDM but I’m not in their threads posting multiple times over and over and over how crap they are.

Ned has limitations and plenty of weaknesses he needs to work on no doubt. You can say it once or twice and move on

If Ned was in the VFL where he belongs alongside them then this thread would be about 3 pages long…

If you didn't constantly criticise Ned, it would only be 3 pages long.

Big fake tough guy, you would quiver in fear if you were in a pub and ned tapped you on the the shoulder.

Does the constant extreme criticism of a marginal afl player make you feel like a big tough and smart man?

Maynard and Howe have been long term defenders who have been champions of our club
Howes nearly done but had a magnificent career as has Maynard
They made errors yesterday
The analogy with longs career so far doesn’t cut the mustard

Its actually all the more reason. You put a chart of contract value against each player and their output, Ned wont be lingering near the bottom of value for coin.

This is where your argument, actually your constant tirade of posts to bag him out are pathetic.

You forego the experienced players failing when we needed them but hold a younger player to a higher output expectation

tirade if you dont agree ..someones opinion if you agree ..nice
His disposal deficiency as an inside AFL mid has been obvious in the last 15 weeks ..IMO hes not good enough

Contradicting yourself with reasons why one player isnt up to it , then justifying another whilst they do the same, isnt actually an opinion. Just dumb views. Go off though

not as dumb as yours ..go off..I think howe and Maynard have a few more credits than turnover Ned

He ended up 7th on the Collingwood leaderboard for AFLCA votes this year.

He broke the club tackle record this season.

His form kept Tom Mitchell out of the side.

He’s a decent chance to finish top 10 in the Copeland.

He’s currently the youngest player on our list getting regular games.

Yeah, he’s got room to improve, and there’s a decent chance he will.

I don’t understand the knocks?

 

[yeah man]

Always laugh at people nitpicking a 22 year old who has just finished up his first ever full AFL season, and it's the usual suspects of course.

Yes his disposal efficiency hurt us at times this year. There were also times where he absolutely bolstered our midfield. He was the talk of the league for weeks as the break out story. But go ahead and focus on all the little negatives, as if a young man doesn't have all the potential to improve. You might enjoy football more if you allow yourself a little hope about our young players who have shown more good than bad.

Not really, there a 40% chance he’d miss

gee get the violins out and put the rose coloured glasses on ..giving the ball to the opposition isn't exactly a little negative ..he looked like Jason wild reincarnated yesterday

The knocks are that we lost the game, so the usual sooking comes out of the wood work.

I outright acknowledged that his disposal efficiency hurt us at times this year, you're going to get that with developing players. But go on with your smartarse violin and rose coloured glasses comments, they make you look even more like a reactive sook.

stop being a "little negative" to me

What about your number of posts after wins v losses? Reckon it’d be sub 25%.

The knocks are he regularly plays very poor games where he struggles to win any clearances and when he gets the ball his ball use is extremely bad

probably about the same as your good posts to bad posts ratio
