Can people not see the angst which is created in this thread when he is miraculously praised like he won the game for us when really he just contributed and played an average game like any other inside midfielder would? It wasn't a bad game, but in no way shape or form did he "lead us to victory".

It's his constant praises of "brownlow medalist this and brownlow medalist that", "matt priddis was prolific as always", coaches votes every single fricken week despite putting in a very standard game, all the while having a long list of deficiencies we all know too well which never get mentioned outside of this board.

Listening to Ricuito say "Matt Priddis is having another stellar year" on the weekend. When really, he's actually not Roo, he's had his worst start to a season since 2008 based on CD ratings. But that's cool don't let the truth get in the way of pumping him up. You wouldn't be the first person to do that.

You think the coaches don't watch the game ?
That's just crazy talk !
Do you think they are all up there watching Game of Thrones or having a tea party !


I would have to agree
Actually I think they were all watching the Priddleback Live @ Fantasyland Stadium Concert DVD

Apart from I think he is the lead singer (do you ever see them in the same room??). Priddis and Nickleback also have so much in common.
"The Nickleback effect".

No one knows how, why and who is buying all their records to make them so "popular"?? (sell so many records - stats). And a nickelback fan will run for cover and never admit they love them! Anyone who knows anything about music knows they are cornyass chiche tryhard shite!

But yes sorry I should have been more specific re: whose voting I was talking about (being AFL.com, media and all the stupid MVP voting comps) However I can't see how you can watch priddis' performance in the game against port and firstly not see he is very poor at his only "strength" (mr extractor) let alone even vote him in the top 10 in BOG ????

You didn't notice the amount of stoppages we DELIBERATELY planned for so he COULD get to the contests otherwise he is lost with fast free flowing football?

It isn't hard when there is mostly stoppages between the 50 meter arcs and he jogs to each one of them as he can't "run" and doesn't need to as they are so close to each other.
What rubbish.

Yes
we forced stoppages in the last 6 minutes or so against port and yes you are right Priddis was at every one of them . So this game is all about us making a stoppage so Priddis can catch up . or was that the little league game at half time

After a couple of poor games to start the season I thought he may be cooked. Done well since then and is back to his form of last year.

I blame Woosha for the Priddis controversy. Nothing to hate about Priddis these days.
He's actually being played to his strengths and being forced to play with more versatility.

39 possessions and 2 goals. When he's surrounded by quicker and better finishing players, he can be very damaging.

I think there's two main things which are working in his favour this year (and in particular the last 2 games). One is that the rest of the midfield is stepping up more, particuarly some of the young blokes. And two, he no longer seems to be the focus of our hitouts. He was never the right option to be on the receiving end of taps.

When he and the team play to his strengths he is great and the team is better.

Join date in the week following our last flag. Your own website in your signature that roasts Priddis (after just 4 games in his Brownlow year, mind you). 155 posts in 8 and a bit years. Says it all, really.

Had a really good game tonight, I hope it continues. The team set up around his strengths and it is reflected in the performance tonight. Better winning than losing, I say.

About 99% of your posts being in the Priddis megathreads too.

Matt Priddis could find the cure for cancer and Ebola and you'd still be obsessive about him.

Cannot, and will not, deign him with even the faintest of praise no matter what. You're not an Eagles fan at all.

Where are you when he plays shit. Not in here owning up for his shit disposal and slow plodding right. Your type only shows up when he's had a good game or 2.
Bandwagoners in here like there's no tomorrow.

He had a good game but remember who is taking the heat off him. Yeo and Shuey.
Yeo's fewer possessions had more impact on the game than Priddi's 39. Masten had 42 possies so where's all the love for him?
