I haven't got Rnd 22 paper, (so therefore the TOG stats)

Excluding Rnd 22, he has averaged 56 mins for 11 disposals. So therefore, he gets a disposal every 5 minutes.

That means he has been at the same pace as Nathan Buckley, Shane O'Bree and Scott Burns, while only Brodie Holland and Paul Licuria have used there time more efficiently. So, only 4.5% of our players use there time more efficiently than Salopek

He Shoots, HE SCORES

:rolleyes:

Good post, I've never understood all the talk about Salopek. If he went at pick 39 instead of 6 nobody in here would even know his name. He has certainly never shown enough on the field to justify this sort of discussion.
The fact that he has gone so high before means he has potential. I beleive he just needs some opportunites in the midfield, which he isn't getting at Port.

I'm not disputing that he has talent, just saying they he would cost a bit too much considering. I would rather take a shot on someone who would be cheaper and try and find a diamond in the rough.

Had a good look at the FVL game yesterday. Like Brad Murphy a lot. Silky skills, quick, and cretaive. Birss played well too as a small forward. If Foostcray dont want them we should chase them.

Damn, we must have been watching different games.
I wish I could have watched the game you did, because the game I watched (with two guys who had similar names) I didn't see any of that.

What channel were you on, I was on the ABC.

Has skills, pace and knows where the goals are. Homesick, and was pick #6 in 2002 for a reason. We may be able to get him cheap, either in the PSD or via trade. Suits me. :)
