Robert Walls at it again

[gocatsgo]

Robert Walls, you have once again proven to be an imbecile.

Your story in this morning's Age is again another complete fabrication from start to finish.

Having read the first few paragraphs and your comments about Cameron Ling shows you clearly do not take in enough about football, apparently you do watch it because we have to listen to your dull monotome drawl every week!!!

Cameron Ling is a 2-time premiership player, 200-game player, All Australian, best and fairest winner and captain of Geelong and yet you say if he doesn't perform in this year's finals, he will have regrets once his career finishes???

You use the example of how Lenny Hayes destroyed him in the first quarter of last year's Grand Final and they had to move Jimmy Bartel onto Hayes after quarter time.

NEWS FLASH WALLS... Ling was on DAL SANTO all day in the Grand Final, i didn't see him have any impact on the day.....Do some research you moron!

Bartel went onto Hayes because Thompson didn't want to take Ling off Dal Santo and risk Dal Santo running amok, it was that call which kept both Hayes and Dal Santo in check that probably won us the game.

And your comments on Hawkins are almost as poor. Hawkins has missed 10 weeks of football and only started to ruck this year. He hasn't the technique or the fitness base this year to be a damaging ruckman. But the more he rucks and plays the more his fitness base and technique will improve.

Further more, using other examples like Paul Medhurst (who won't even get a game in the finals), Adam Cooney (a Brownlow medallist and out-and-out star), Brad Johnson (a Bulldogs legend of the game who can hold his head high for his performances in finals, unlike the rest of his side), Zac Dawson (A gap-filling full back and still very raw) and Jarad Waite (a player who has hardly had an opportunity to play finals in his career) as players who will regret poor finals shows a complete mis-understanding of the game.

Time to move to a nursing home where your views might actually be listened to.

Very interesting considering how often he probably would of called for Hawkins to be given a run in the ruck.

From the article:

"A ''Buddy blitz'', ''Roughead rampage'', ''Burgoyne blast'' or ''Sewell stampede'' could change all of that in the next month."

How lame is that.

 

[Sin City]

No surprises when I read it, shit article from a shit journalist. It'll give him something to harp on about all through the finals series now.

Oh man that is awful. Absolutely awful.

wtf is a Sewell Stampede? Oh I get it, both words start with 's' which means its clever. Alliteration never fails to impress. A-grade journalism. Or should I say "jolly journalism", "riveting reading" or "awesome authoring".

 

[legend166]

Maybe Geelong should think about giving Ling a run in the ruck? You know, to get him involved in the game.

Thats another Poisoning Prime Post!

I guess Walls can't cast his mind back to a week earlier, when Ling pulled Dane Swan's pants down in the preliminary final.

Ling to the ruck, Hawkins and Ottens to full-forward, Mooney to tagger.




IT COULD WORK.

ha ha, when i read that I literally did a facepalm

 

[krusden]

I think that objectively the comments on ling are wrong - personally i don't think he was "left out". I call that he was rested.

However, many of the other comments are right. particularly those on hawkins. Due to the loss of Mumford (not the cats fault) and the fact that blake has not really come on it HAS fallen to ottens primarily and then hawkins. who is a forward who rucks occasionally, rather than ottens who is a ruck that can forward equally as well.

In regards of a lot of the other comments, well wallsy is right about 50% of the time and the rest he misfires a bit. so, it's more of the same.

TBH in regards of most of the tripe served up as "comment" these days walls' articles are not too bad. and thats really saying something

 

[DamoESP]

Thats another Poisoning Prime Post!

And this is another Tremendously Tantalising Thread!

 

[mysainters]

The Kosi part of his article was very insightful, such an original call, he braves to go where no other journalist has gone before

Even if you agree with him in some of his opinions, it's becoming increasingly obvious that he doesn't understand the 'structure' and 'role play' element in modern football.

 

[Farang83150]

Dockers didn't even rate a mention in the article...

The disturbing thing is he probably has a ghost writer who polishes his prose.

More walls w***ery?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

He gave Hawkins the TV for a BOG performance in last year's preliminary final, IIRC. Ling and Hawkins have already succeeded in September (and in a meaningful way, not in a Steve Johnson in the 2009 grand final kind of way). He's all over the shop.

 

[Crows1505]

Get over it, its once in a blue moon that wallsy says something bad about a victorian team's players

Try listening to the rubbish he talks about interstate players, he doesnt even try to cover up his bias.

When tredrea retired he decided he had to talk about how discraceful his bowing was instead of how great his carrer was. Then Didak dances after a goal and its great because he is such a 'character'.

Robert Walls is a joke

 

[Ghost of Grinter]

Ling looks slow lately, any comments in regards to Ling probably wont
come back to bite Walls.

Ablett will go to Swan when they play Collingwood.
Thompson moved Ablett foward quick smart last time, didnt want
to give away too much I dont think.

Wellingham is the only Collingwood player capable of curbing Abletts
influence.

Hawkins is a spud, as is Mooney.
Both probably dont deserve a finals spot.

Hawkins maybe as a back up ruckman, cause Blake is done
and was never much chop.

 

[watermelonslice]

No matter what his opinion is, his blatant error is pretty amusing. I hope someone calls him out on it over the weekend on 'live' tv.

Hahahha, pay that.

That's good news then, isn't it. Grand final here we come

"I didn't see that article but...." it sounds to me like another Wallsy wank


I had to laugh at the efforts of Walls last Monday night on that piece of crap, "One Week At A Time". They played the Akermanis comments about Brad Johnson being "selfish" and "finished". Quarters asked Wallsy what he thought and Walls said,

"I suppose he'd know all about being selfish, so I don't pay any attention to anything he says, but what I would ask Luke Darcy is..." blah... blah... blah...

Then he changed the subject completely! No discussion at all about the struggling Bulldogs skipper who is failing to have any impact for his faltering Top 4 team. Whatever you think of Aker, surely Brad Johnson is worth some serious discussion. Not according those Channel 10 geniuses. Fluff and mock indignation from Walls. Darcy sticking up for his mate and that was it.

And then after the commercial break, Robert Walls immediately launches into his tirade against Geelong skipper, Cameron Ling. He reckons Lingy is not in Geelong's best 22! Obviously, this is his new hobby horse and we're going to keep hearing about it from now until September.

The man is a fricken clown.

I laugh at Robert Walls.

I laugh at the people who pay him money to comment on football.

 

[Blues_Man]

The wubbish written by the wizened walls is not worth reading.

 

[Mappa]

He is still dining out on "Clarko's Cluster" from a few years ago. He still uses "Neon Leon" when the light has well and truly gone out for that flash-in-the-pan and now this.

Walls is a tool of the highest order. Being out of the game for a long time doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have a right to comment, but he is so far past it, it is not funny.

He does realise that Hawks aren't guaranteed a finals spot doesn't he ? Bit hard for Buddy to have a blitz if we don't make it.

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

He is stupid and should quit already.
