Rich - Poor when it counts

[Andy_Mac]

maybe he is flaunting his latest gown on the blue carpet....by all reports from the mfc players he is a dirty skank!

Quoting yourself. Well done gumby...

Robert Flower has Daniel Rich posters on his wall.

And Butterball has Magda Szubanski posters on his

Cheers Dan, no votes from my Brisbane bet

Rich is the next Nick Stevens with his body shape and the way he loiters around the pack waiting for a chance to get a kick.

Rich even runs like Stevens.

The Stevens of the last few years...

Not the hard running mid we saw at his best with Port and Carlton.

Rich doesn't cover as much ground with the ball in his hands.

DR lacks the tricks and run of the mids picked before him.

I can't see Rich playing on a HBF as a sweeper with his lack of pace, run and accountability. The Dogs players just ran past him with Rich just jogging 50 metres behind the play.

That's why six clubs passed on him.

I guess you could say the same thing about Murphy and Selwood, but they run harder and win more of the ball inside than Rich.

It's going to be an interesting and challenging time for Brisbane's midfield after they lose Black, Power and Johnstone.

Is Rich, Adcock, Brennan, Redden, Polkinghorne, Austin, Dalziell and Rischitelli their future star midfield?

LOL.

Yep, the fun's going to start in earnest after those 3 retire I reckon

Is it just me or did Daniel Rich not take a date so that he could have 2 meals?

Nice work Flogatron.

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Has anyone seen any melbourne player on tv tonite?

I suppose there is no need for them to be there

 

[Andy_Mac]

Nice work Flogatron.

I stand corrected. She's eaten his...

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

If he keeps working at it, he could become the next Richard Cole, or Cameron Cloke

 

[Cousin Jed]

I stand corrected. She's eaten his...

You are embarrassing yourself

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

You mean as opposed to the desperate efforts of your fellow posters to pump up Rich by comparing with young players in the league's bottom club who've played 11, 3, and 9 games this year respectively, and one not even finished school yet?

Mea Culpa Jed... yes, we MUST strive to lower ourselves to a similar level of credibility

So Lions supporters can't pump up a player who actually HAS done something, while your fellow Melbourne Flog Brigade members run around pumping up players who have done sweet f*** all?

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

To my knowledge, we've hardly started so much as a single thread about our players in this regard on the Bay lately... seems to me like you boys have been taking care of that...

That doesn't answer the question.

 

[Grimreepah]

Rich will get more Brownlow votes than any Melbourne players.

Good call

 

[whatboutbob]

Rich will get more Brownlow votes than any Melbourne players.

lol, you weren't far wrong.

Davey (Melbourne's top poller): 6 votes
Rich = 6 votes

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

That doesn't answer the question.

How exactly would that be?

Given that you're asserting that we're running around desperately promoting our own players (ironic as this claim is ) while we've started not one thread to my knowledge on this subject recently - I'd say these are pretty conclusive facts regarding which foot the shoe is on in this instance.

Incidentally, how many Watts threads will you guys try to start tonight I wonder... 20, 30? Oh hell... let's go for a even hundred

Maybe if you all keep posting and trumpeting the same messages over and over for another 6 months, we might believe you

Maybe if you REALLY work at it, you might cure yourselves of these insecurities about the current bottom club in the league

What a pathetic rabble the MFC is. Travis Johnstone, who spent half the year in the reserves only polled 1 less vote than your best player.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Oh no.... our players were outpolled in the Brownlow by players of a club that played in this year's finals series!

I'm so terribly disappointed- shit, I thought we'd win it, there's no justice! We must assassinate Vlad immediately..

Let's not take the spotlight from Ablett now - the most deserving winner since Woewodin.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

I'm still wondering why we didn't win the Brownlow

I mean, doesn't the best player from the club that finished bottom ALWAYS win?

Geez you're an ugly bastard. And those glasses are terrible.

Keep the rock.

And the fat little **** has already hit his peak LOL

lol

Tom Swift, playing 10 games for 4 wins in his first year got 3 votes, and he was unlucky not to poll in the Adelaide and Essendon games. Also Naitanui 1 vote

 

[whelan=legend]

Brown, Black and Power as your 3 top vote getters

Club is going to be struggling big time in a few years.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yeah, only 3 times as many votes as Joel Selwood got in his debut year.

To be honest I thought he was at least 4 times as good as Selwood, but 3 times will have to do for now.
