It amazes me how he gets a game every week, absolute dud. i know this is all negative but almost every time he gets the ball he turns it over. i have tried to support him and give him a chance but thats it drop him already
 
Don't worry I am sure there will be a few people coming in here soon saying we should give him time, he has improved and all the usual defenders of JR.

the simple one / two with fev hurts the most... simple skill errors that make you sink your head further in your hands...

Here we go, the whole team (bar one or two) are playing rubbish football, yet we still get a thread started on one particular player.

A typically moronic thread that gets started when we aren't playing well.

wrong the whole team has played crap today and so has russell but russell consistently plays hopelessly so that is why i made this thread
 
the protection of stevie browne there when running back with the flight was "sensational" by JR... all he needed to do was provide a slight block but instead lead his man right there and provided zero protection... bad team play

It's called venting and not potting the more senior players.

And JR is the squib. ;)

Thornton did the same thing against Freo and handed a goal to Solomon.

Just blame JR....

i dont care about all you "give JR a go people" the honnest truth is he is a net -ve to the team

he costs us more than he helps

should be dropped and never put a carlton jumper on again
 
Absolutely terrible once again Russell. Gives away goals from turnovers, poor skills and let his man kick 5 goals!

I DON'T care what anyone else says about us potting Russell, we have now had enough, he must be dropped! We drop everyone else that doesn't perform. Joseph is 100x better than Russell. I'd rather someone stop their man and not touch the ball than continuely turn it over and let their man loose.

I am not saying he was the only bad player today, but please Ratten show some gutts on Russell and drop him.

Russ barely noticed him after the second half and sadly that's probably because he wasn't turning over the ball, he just couldn't get his hands on it.

He played a pretty horrid game but as did quite a few others, but Russ shouldn't play next week. Simple reason is that first he has to find some consistency at VFL level give him that and maybe then we can play him again.

Mate we start these threads becasue A) He had 5 kicked on him b) even when he gets the ball he turns it over and c) i cannot work out how the f^ck he keeps getting a game

No more excuses. Russell has to be dropped! That was just another pathetic contribution.

It is beyond belief to think the MC rate him ahead of scotland and hoops.. i guess when u combine things like that with having nobody inside 50 in the first term, u start to wonder if our guys are all that bright
 
He has got to go, can't cut it in the pressure situations but continues to get a game because he is playing his 'role'. I'm afraid this may be the last straw for Russell.
 
Seems we need to show examples of the quality expected as it is business as usual in here today. I'd also call this a repetitive thread as only the whipping boys get their threads each week and the message is always the same.

You are perfectly entitled to express a negative opinion but let's make it factual shall we? A dud suggests he has no ability to play at this level. He may be an ordinary player plenty of times but dud is just your way of expressing your frustration. Does he really turn it over almost every time he gets the ball? I could have sworn his efficiency rate is at least 60% and probably more. Another overreaction perhaps?

My point is you started a thread, not to discuss his game or his merits, but to vent and exaggerate. A good example of the repetitive threads we see every week.

Isn't this just a case of having a shot at the positive posters and therefore eliciting negative responses from them, which in turn are complained about. Stick to the topic at hand and let's not fan the flames.

Absolute nothing post that is extremely self serving. Exactly the type of post we will be pulling up because it doesn't discuss, is low in quality and is just a player abuse post.

Watch and learn people, this is how you express a negative opinion. Explains why in specific terms and doesn't get personal towards the player.

What if he reinvented himself in the VFL, lifted his disposal to 99% and picked up 35 possessions every week? Never? Just emotional and self serving again.

And this is the other side firing back by using words like moronic. This has to work both ways.
