On the couch

[Lach72]

Dear oh dear Robert Walls...you have just proved yourself to be an absolute arse clown.

Firtsly, Mike and Walls give Brad Johnson every out in the world for his choke...he's a champion, he's this he's that.

Then they come to Pav: He should've kicked that, had a crap game, doesn't do enough, and I swear Mike was going to do a Bruce McAveney and compare him to Carey and then said Brown.
Carrying the whole ____ing team week after week not enough for you. you shit heads!
But the absolute jaffa, was him trying toi justify himself against the attack by Mark Robinson and the assertion that he went after Mark Harvey due to the Essendon connection and he won't go after the coaches he has helped select..rhubarb rhubarb, then he comes up with every excuse in the world for Ross Lyon: The center half back doesn't play, Baker's out, he's inhereited an old list!!!

You *******!! He's been there two years! Where was this consideration when you were interviewing Harvey you prick!

 

[Chops_a_must]

His protection of Lyon was exactly the impetus for his attack on Harvey. What an absolute turkey.

 

[summerthebat]

Yep, unbelievable.

He used the 'inherited' list excuse for Lyon, but based his main argument against Harvey for his squad for bringing bad players in.

Solomon - Playing very well
Tarrant - Now playing very well
Bradley - Played two good games

Mark Johnson - You can have that one Wallsy,

Also them ranting on about the Hawks use of kneeing other players, but not once mentioned the hypocrisy involving Carr getting 3 weeks for something with less force.

 

[poshman]

As usual the clown shoes proves his bias! he was never going to criticize lyon as he the oracle appointed him.

as to the rest bah the usual.

heard harvs tonight on 6pr, was good and encouraging in what he said. repeated many of the sentiments expressed here and said that the next two years would be interesting times for freo as there would be a huge influx of young players as they are committed to the draft.

thinks keps is improving and ibbo and palmer are going great, it is up to the 3-4 year players to improve. said that with the emergence of the three above adding to that mayne, drum, warnock, hinkley and another 6 or more next year the list will look quite different.

sounds good to me!

 

[Clay Davis]

Walls has never liked Pavlich.

 

[summerthebat]

The undeniable fact is that Walls has never gone that direct at ANY coach EVER in his time on that show.

That in itself rings louder than any excuse could muffle.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I just love that comment about an old list Lyon inherited... yet when Harvey said he did, Walls acted as if that is no excuse.

Also, Healy missed that while Wight was a young man.. Ibbo, Kepler and Schammer are all relatively young too (not making excuses for the pissweak tackling effort).

 

[Freo95]

Yep, just watched that.
Couldn't believe it myself, though i'm not terribly surprised.
Hypocrites! simple.

Once i get my main puter back from it's upgrade, i'll start uploading again

 

[Sman-21]

great to watch the prick got showed how hypocritical he is an everyone got to see him squirm on live tv.

Would of loved to have called in an said ummm hello isnt this stuff your defending lyon for the exact same thing you had a crack at Harvey for.

Then added you had a minor go at lyon for not playing more players from there list.
Harvey has nearly played every single player on our list an is looking to clean out at end of this year.

How long has Lyon taken to do this??

 

[FD369]

Stop flirting with the IT guy because I am obviously missing some classic Walls hypocrisy.

He manages to argue with himself week to week, if your computer had Freo 1995 controlling the edit button.

I do worry though that he feeds off these threads.

 

[kiroshi]

walls bagging pav? what a turkey, out list isnt the best but pav would have to be a bona fide, out and out afl star. other than a couple of misses at goal in recent times what else has he done wrong? the guy is the most unassuming, genuine bloke off the field and he is a true leader on it. robert walls needs a swift kick up the arse for this one.

 

[E Shed]

I can't (won't) watch OTC anymore. Walls is an arseclown.

 

[Belnakor]

What sort of a ____ing cretin used Walls to select a coach? Hello mr 30% win percentage

I want to see this on the couch if Walls gets put down a peg or two.

 

[mhill]

His protection of Lyon was exactly the impetus for his attack on Harvey. What an absolute turkey.

Sheahan showed him up a bit tonight. Wallsy even looked a bit guilty when he was feebly trying to defend himself.

Wallsy's interview with Harvey was as cowardly as when Kretiuk from the Bulldogs tried to rough up a 1st year Michael Gardiner from the Eagles.

Try that on Mick Malthouse or Leigh Matthews Wallsy, see what happens.

 

[dockers_bengals]

Thats not right about thier list either as they took back Gherig after he retired and its not his first year.
He was as soft on him as the Windies are against the Aussies 6/86

 

[Angus McFuttock]

Inherited the list??? Lyon has traded for M Gardiner, King (albeit pick 90), Dempster, C Gardiner and Schneider as well as redrafting Gehrig. But don't expect any criticism from the bearded sourpuss.

 

[PapaJ]

I don't have fox so can't view, but I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is no lesser a professional supposed 'journalist' in AFL. He is a complete joke and rarely does anything even smelling of intelligence or consistency come out of his mouth, so the above does not surprise me at all.

Question? Did he draw any comparison to Pav and to B.Johnson's massive misses in front on the weekend?

For any doggies fans taking a peak: I'm not having a go at Brad, he's a champ, even the best have downers every now and then, just wander how Walsy handled him versus Pav.

Sympathy for Johnno. Scathing of Pav. And Johnno ____ed up twice!!

I figured, not only that, Johno's last would have definitively given the Dogs the game. Pavs was still early enough that recovery was (should have been) possible. The guys a complete idiot (Walsy of course, not Johno ).

 

[MadMac]

Does anyone really take Wallsy seriously? The guy is a first-class w***er. He's a lemon of the week. He's a.....aaaarrrghhh.

 

[pinkus maximus]

freo1995, do you have this utubed?

i want to see him squirm

Unfortunately i don't.
My main puter (the mother ship) is getting an upgrade atm.

 

[MrChristo]

Sheahan showed him up a bit tonight.

Absolutely.

I especially liked Sheahan's exaggerated head scratch at the end of it all, basically saying, "You're making no sense Robert."

Comical. Lyon was the one who took Gehrig back...even talked him back into playing, depending on who you believe...

...Walls justified his position by saying he'd recently critisized St. Kilda...one of his points was that Riewoldt should be playing on the wing, ala Richo...
...and not more than one minute later was saying how Lyon is doing a great job, must stay and is being let down by his list!! FFS...

But, back to the Harvey 'interview'...the one question that really stood out to me that night was Walls aggressively asking him, "What does your club stand for?"...

...now, in this PC world of Mission Statements and Achievable Goals, there probably is some bullshit answer to such a rediculous question...
...but given Walls' obvious Carlton links, I would have loved to have seen him fire back with...
..."Well, Wallsy. What does your team stand for? Draft penalties for salary cap breaches. Widely accepted tanking to gain draft picks. Specific players with repeated on and off field dicipline/behavioural problems left unpunished, and more talk of salary cap rorts this year in the whole Judd/Pratt tie up."

Better still, before that Melbourne game that Walls was at, I doubt very much he'd be able to name half your list...probably still can't.

Pathetic man. The only time he actually can make an 'opinion' his own is when he has no other justification for belittling someone.

I half wish he had have gotten really agressive at Mike last night, in the hope he'd get the arse and we'd never have to listen to his moronic ramblings ever again.

 

[The Night Shift]

If I pass around the hat, will you guys chip in so I can hire Dog The Bounter Hunter & Chuck Norris to re-educate Walls in the art of unbiased journalism

 

[pinkus maximus]

ok no worries
