Nah
I just think it was a bad trade and you lot get all upset and start calling me a trol and imposter.

Sorry I upset you all and made you get cross and cry with frustration.
Mummy's made lunch.
Off to school now please.

You Richmond people are starting to sound like the Bluebeggers bagging Hamill. :eek:

You can't compare Ottens to Hamill. Why? Hamill was sledged by John Elliot at the B&F and didn't like it and left. He gave his all for the Blues and then was slandered by Elliot.

Ottens was paid on potential for years at the Tigers, told TW he would stay, and then left the club when it was down and in need. He's a traitor. (I agree similar to Nathan Brown).

2 different scenarios.

& that is different from now how?

Geelong supporters can say what they will, if they honestly believe they are getting value for their $500k a year ... The education system down buumpkinville way is in an even sicker position than what I thought.

Geelong has, St Kilda, Melbourne, West Coast, Richmond over the next 4 weeks. Even Melbourne will beat them on last nights pathetic effort.

From Ottens prior to R1
"Richmond will never change"

God I would love for RIchmond to beat them at their hick stadium and keep them out of the finals.

How long is Otten's contract.
I'm also not sure that his form has been any better than Simmonds.
It takes a guy a year to settle into a new team.
So I guess the real difference this year is that Simmonds and Ottens should be better value for their teams next year.
Ottens probably has more potential but is very injury prone.

Ottens has had "potential" for 6 years now. When are going to get to see some of it?? He's in his mid 20's and now is the time for him to be ripping games apart. Look, I don't hate the guy and would have been rapt if he'd stayed but nothing seems to have changed. He still looks disinterested at times and doesnt have the ticker. He doesnt have a football brain.

Goodluck to him anyway.
 
Was paid handsomely for years at Richmond and did very little.

Looks like the same thing has happened at Geelong. Bomber Thompson had to tell the media to "leave him alone...all of you" earlier in the year after shocking form from Ottens, and he has so far played pretty ordinary footy and now gone missing with a mystery "injury" for months.

Is Brad Ottens up to his old tricks again - being paid on potential rather than performance??

Things haven't changed much in the past two years.

Apparently, according to an increasingly small minority of Geeling supporters, this guy has great potential.

Be honest. Is there really any Geelong supporters who don't believe their ignorant and incompetent coach was truely conned by Richmond.

Im far from sold on the abilities of Danny Meyer and Adam Pattison. Not sure who got jipped here.

Why is everyone so down on Ottens? He played a realtively good year last year.

22 games 9th in the B&F despite having no preseason.
kicked 25 goals and was our No.1 ruckmen

Doesn't look like that bad a trade so far. Pattison & Meyer are only boaderline starting 22 players. Ottens is quite possibly our most important player, we would be in trouble with our ruck division without him.
 
He was a good player for us last year considering he had a few niggles, probably one of the main reasons people think he will never perform at his best again.

So far he has had a strong preseason along side King and they could potentially be a strong ruck combination if they stay injury free. Quite happy with him :)
