Russell = more rubbish

[legendtofski]

If we lose today another 'nuke bomb' moment by our favourite LOSER.

Totally unacceptable.

Why do they persist, three years of no improvement.

EVERY PLAYER IN THE TEAM WERE BLOODY LEGENDS(even Russell)

 

[Will.B.Worth.Da.Waite]

I thought Russell was decent today. Had some pretty important touches. Had a direct hand in 2 goals in the first half

 

[Blue Bawls]

Russell did a couple of good things, but overall his performance (especially his disposal) was poor. I think there are players who should get a chance above him.

 

[sherb]

Any chance we can get off this kid's back for tonight at least while we celebrate?

Then if people think it necessary, they can resume hostilities tomorrow.

 

[Team Mo']

didn't see him much but saw one play were he gave pfeiffer and absolute hospital hand pass!

Stupid really but overall his performance isn't as bad because we won!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Everyone contributed today.

Team effort,
and he was a part of it.

 

[Funkalicous]

All things said, I think we can justify dropping him. He constantly put our players under pressure. So did Grigg, but he's a kid and can be forgiven.

 

[legendtofski]

Grigg kicked a nice goal..Ruseell just created pressure...Bring in Bentick.

 

[encino_]

I think Setanta was our worst today

 

[Crippa#9]

you guys are hard - Russell had a job today and did it brilliantly aside from a getting a bit of the pill himself.

No change for the Melbourne game, although a fit Hampson and Walker are in my best 22 when they are ready.

give the guy a break. instead of celebrating our win and talking about our good players you start talking about how bad russel was.. he wasnt even that bad!!! bloody hell, cheer up. we won

 

[Lance]

Russell was a good contributor in a great team effort today, don't knock him.

 

[Bluebear]

I think the thread title is quite apt.

All I read is more rubbish about Russell.

FFS we know the guy isn't a superstar, and he has done some good things and is improving..........is that not good enough?

If he stops improving then by all means bag him, but last year it was "doesn't get into the game...........doesn't find enough footy" and now its "finds the footy but uses it poorly"..........I suppose next year it will be "finds it well and uses it o.k. but should be getting 25+ possies each week"

Give it a rest.

Its true, I get sick of it.

Was far from our worst today, and, dare I say it, warranted selection for mine!

 

[Artie Bucco]

Bullshit, OP'er needs to be shot, or moved away from this board.

Russel had a couple of mistakes today, but he also had a couple of good spoils, and instrumental pickups when we needed it in the last quarter.


Anyone that looks for negatives today has something wrong with them

 

[HBF]

Russell was ok today, except for that terrible turnover at half back. Given that we won today, i'm not about to start sticking the boots in. He did ok.

 

[eppa]

Have to agree with most here - go put your f**king knives away (legend totheski and co) and actually enjoy the win. Yeah there were some mistakes to come out of the game but all sides make mistakes. No pleasing some people even after we beat the ferals. Its supporters like you who if I saw on fire I wouldnt even bother to p*ss on you. Get behind the side rather than slagging them all the time.

That and another turnover which created a goal for Collingwood were the only bad things he did today.

Russell just needs a little bit more polish when he gets his hands on the ball.

Quite frankly, I was more disappointed in Setanta's game who started well by kicking a goal.

Hartlett should come in for Carlos.

 

[drusswaylander]

People are funny

We stuck our tackles, we chased and played as a team, everything we have been calling for... yet we still get a thread like this

We had a great win. Lets enjoy it and at least for 24 hours try not to look at what we see as negatives with the team. We all know that we still have work to do, but you couldn't fault the effort

They did us proud today

 

[Feva]

Thought Russell was ok. Couple of howlers but the kid is really low on confidence.

Good move not to drop him. I think if he goes back to the Ants, he will just about be finished at the Blues.

Is worth one last chance!

Have you received your HTFU bracelet in the mail yet?

It's for the 150th anniversary of VFL/AFL.
