Ottens>Travis Johnstone

[rick James]

Nicholson is a hack for a start and Bizzel is often forced to play too big.

well no, with Rivers in the team Bizzel ios no longer a KPP.

And he had his best season and was close to B&F when he was playing CHB

Great points you bring up

And Bizzell wasnt forced to play big this year

heard of Jared Rivers?

Maybe Nathan Brown, who was the best back pocket in the caper last year and was robbed of AA?

See much of Wheatley and Whelan? Didnt think so

be gone, pheasant

 

[rick James]

I agree. I'd take Ottens over Johnstone any day of the week.

 

[flagfor05]

This topic has gone on a tangent, but FWIW, Melbourne backline's a disgrace.

Jeff White's THE softest ruckman in the AFL. I'd take Ottens anyday.

As soft as the tissue-man, Steven King?

And yeah, our backline is so disgraceful that it helped us to top spot after round 18

Well done, genius

Replace the name Jeff White with Steven King and you'll find thats why you have Ottens

 

[flagfor05]

Yze you idiot. Steven King is a better ruckman, face it.

As for your other comment, it sums Melbourne up. Happy with mediocrity. Near enough is good enough "Oh, our backline was good enough to get us to top in Round 18". WHERE DID YOU FINISH YOU TOOL? 7th!

Travis Johnstone is a guy with good foot skills, amazingly soft when it comes to putting body on the line, and had a gambling addiction.

Travis, Jeff and the MFC itself are a shambles to the AFL.

Cats have 1 reasonable year, and now listen to this flog

We have 12 premierships. How many do you have?

Shambles, indeed

Steven King is far from soft. He has just had a couple of injuries. Would cain t he crap out of White. I guess we'll see when we spank your asses like last time.

from my recollection Trav has only had one publicised bet, show me evidence he is addicted if you're are oging to throw slander like that around.

and Jeff whtie is, according to the AA selectors, the BEST ruckmen going around.

Jeff White > You > Steven King

Go figure.

Spanked us eh?

I don't call 11 points or whatever it was a spanking.

Go check up what spank means in the dictionary you racoon shooting yokel.

 

[flagfor05]

Remind me Dees best? How many times have you beaten us in the last decade? Mmmmmm......about 3!

Remind me Dees best? How many have you beaten us in geelong in the last 15 years? Mmmmmm......about ZERO!

Mmmmmm....I wonder who's better

 

[worthy]

classic
i like it
at the moment i'd take ottens

Spank: (v) To slap on the buttocks with a flat object or with the open hand, as for punishment.


But seriously, I do rate Johnson despite his inconsistency. He is very talented and although he had a lean year last year, he has been very good over the past couple of years and was a major reason why Melbourne have done well in their even years. If he steps up to the plate this year, Melbourne will go a long way.

As for who I'd prefer, both have immense talent but both have been a little inconsistent. Ottens has probably been better than Johnson over their whole careers, but I think Ottens may be a year or two older (am I right?). Having said that, I'd have to say Ottens is the better of the 2 at this stage purely due to the fact that Ottens has more runs on the board at this stage.

in the last decade melbourne has played more finals than geelong, so we are better clearly.

but i gotta say i LOVE all the banter between melbourne st kilda nad geelong so far. I think things will get interesting next year.

More than likely neitz will ruin at least one geelong players career, or end it.

Yup

the man is an enforcer

Would like to see him go through Steven King. SHow the Cats fans how soft their skipper is

Why not Scarlett? Oh thats right, he's Matty's bitch.

 

[Yze_Magic]

Umm no

Scarlett, no probs. Neita can do that

Nothing can stop him, he is a runaway train that hits you like an atomic bomb

 

[Cassius_Clay]

IMO, Ottens is superior to T.Johnstone.

Thoughts?

i agree

 

[Yze_Magic]

i agree

Is that why the Pies chase TJ every off-season?

Including as recently as last trade period?

 

[rick James]

I agree Scarlett owns Neitz.

 

[Vaughan Pitt]

I remember when Ty Zantuck tried to run through King... he literally bounced off, and King did not seem to notice. Given Neitz has 7kg on Zantuck, King might actually notice him as Neitz bounces off.

Are you really trying to come Zantuck to Neitz by a 7kg difference??? You have got to be joking!
