No Change

[candiehappy]

I wonder if Varcoe has a touch of the "Ronnie Burns" about him. His problem is not talent but maybe it is attitude. While Shannon, not as gifted a player as Travis, tries his guts out each game and so racks up more stats than Travis. Shannon gets a game because they know what they will get from him each week and that he fits in OK with the team structure despite making a few blues during each game. A few mistakes which can be covered by our other more polished performers. Then if the game is close they can sit Shannon on the bench and load up with our better performers to get on top. Meanwhile he also allows for more midfield rotations because he can play forward and midfield. Helps keep the like of Ablett, Bartel, Corey, Selwood fresher during a game.

Again I know Shannon is a D Grade player, but I can see why he gets a game.

I can see the logic in the second part of your comment - he can play midfield more than Varcoe. But I can't agree that Varcoe is like Burns. He's far more consistent in his efforts than that. I'll be interested to see how our team lines up in the last home and away.

Byrnes screws up more often than not....personally i would rate him as the worst player in the league

Geez mate don't hold back, say what you really mean.

The "worst" player in the League, twelve games including the Grand Final in a side that dominated like few others ever in 07; perhaps a little perspective from some of you Byrnes bashers wouldn't go astray.

Matter of fact if you'd like to retain any credibility at all perhaps you better steer clear of commenting on Shannon altogether.

Geez mate that p'ship berth/player cart can only be pushed so often, surely?

 

[Cattery]

Geez mate that p'ship berth/player cart can only be pushed so often, surely?

Agreed, and in itself it really means nothing, the point though being that if he managed to score a berth in a side as good as Geelong last year, in the biggest game of the year, when we had almost a full list to choose from, it could mean only one of two things, one, our depth was almost non existent, or two, he's nowhere near as bad as painted by [ to many ] Cats supporters.

Does anybody really believe the "worst player in the league" would have managed twelve games in that side last year, let alone secure a spot in the Grand Final?

You are the one defending Shannon Byrnes and yet you give me tips on credibility......

I'll give you this tip....my assessment of him is much closer to the truth than your assessment of him.

Jesus. And people think I'm delusional.

Your Obsession with Him is becoming SCARY !!!

Did he root ya misses or somthing ?

If you think Byrnes is the worst player in the league, you need to watch more footy, and specifcally more games not involving Geelong.

It is statements like this taht make people think that you don't have any idea what you are talking about.

Didn't you know Cattery, the GFC was established as a charity with the number one beneficiary being Shannon Byrnes. It has nothing to do with him earning a spot in the side.

Watch out Cattery, you will be labeled a cancer with no passion if you keep questioning canny's credibility.

I realise we are talking Byrnes....but the word is missus.....misses is what Byrnes does weekly in front of the big sticks

Defending him yes, but only from the exaggerated BS thrown around about him, and let me ask you a question, just what exactly do you think my assessment of him happens to be, you have no idea to be truthful, so how you think you know yours is closer to the truth leaves me a little bewildered to be honest.

I will tell you this though, I'll back my opinion of him against your "worst player in the league" every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Didn't you know Cattery, the GFC was established as a charity with the number one beneficiary being Shannon Byrnes. It has nothing to do with him earning a spot in the side.

You'd really think so wouldn't you from a lot of the stuff written about him, wonder if his knockers ever stop to consider how he managed even one match, let alone twelve including the GF, in such a powerful team if he's as quarter as bad as they make him out to be; it's a conspiracy I tell ya.

Watch out Cattery, you will be labeled a cancer with no passion if you keep questioning canny's credibility.

Credit where it's due though, he did apologise for that remark.

Point proven.

Soon as he stops posting crap I'll move on, the sooner the better to be honest.

I'm keeping to to the Byrnes board.

All I am pointing out is that a lot of the people who support Byrnes also have a crack at Prismall when it is clearly obvious who the better player is.

Might be a good idea, hilariously funny over there.
