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.
Bit rich mate. That's a low call to make.

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?

In case you don't notice, I don't actually spend a lot of time overall on this board. If you check through this thread, though, I've posted plenty of times, but then again why am I explaining myself to you and the others that like to jump on people that aren't part of the groupthink.

I'm done - again.

just for your interest mate.. I've prob been WCE thru and thru before you were born
Not tonight Josephine!

Yeah you are done with your tail between your legs until he gets another 39 possies but in between you are nowhere to be seen defending your love child.

Need to take the tickets off yourself thinking someone gives a shit where you spend your time. You aren't on my follow list thank God.

At least the other Priddis defenders spend time defending their hero. You just waltz in to crow when he has a good game. Which actually isn't that often judging by the amount you post in here.

So I missed the game, what happened?
Same here

Im assuming priddis had a ripper, so all the part time pruddites ran straight for here to gloat, they will stay here till we play a good team and he either reverts to type and they will piss off to the next time we play a cellar dweller ..... Or if he plays shit against a good team but gets a thousand disposals and they will tell us how awesome he is - again.

Exactly.

Anybody think he played like Judd did against Brisbane that day.

Why do you guys crack the sads when people acknowledge Priddis played well? Its bizarre.There is more than enough negative stuff in here to balance out any praise that is given.

exactly!! LOL replicate that first and then come in here crowing about "brownlow medalist on fire" or "prolific" "damaging" .. carrying the midfield. BOG etc.
please.
in case you didn't notice masten got 43 ... 43 is higher than 41 .. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! awesome!! your the best!!

pridda's first quarter was at a standard you should hope to expect from an AFL player. the 3 smothers he got tonight was the best things he did.

Yeo Agreed
Shuey 6 disposals to half time - no
Sheppard was good but not as influential as Priddis given the suns dearth of I50's
Masten nope
Lecras nope
JK nope
Sheed nope
Hill nope
Nic Nat now you're just taking the piss
Gaf nope
Wellingham see my comments on sheppard
McInnis definitely taking the piss

thats 12
I think it helps if you don't just list 12 players at random

Surprised you didn't have Hutch in there

Seriously if Masten is getting 43 possessions in a game then it shouldn't be a praiseworthy thing that Priddis gets 39. ;)
Masten had 20 possessions in a largely forgettable last quarter - the 23 he had in the 1st three quarters were of far greater significance

Priddis had a genuine impact on the game tonight and whilst I'd want to watch a replay to confirm my view, I thought he was our 2nd best player behind Yeo. To suggest there was 10 other players that were better is trolling

I agree with you and said as much in the game day thread.

I took issue with Forwardpress.

Good game from Matt tonight, no arguments here, i had him in my votes.

Was he BOG? - No
Did he lead us to victory? - No
Will the media report yes to both of those things? - Certainly will
Qualifications on tonights game from the curly haired one
1) It was a very inexperienced Gold Coast midfield
2) Conditions suited his game style
3) One of Matt's strengths is supposed to be his clearance work - an area we got pantsed in

It's taken a while but Simpson is putting together a less Priddis reliant midfield setup and one that is less predictable. We are better as a result

Yeah it's a good little "in theory" setup he's running with Matt resting forward and utilizing him in ways which get him out of the centre square and all (something i never thought possible) but i still have my doubts it will work against a quality team.

Still, Port last week, as well as the Giants and the Suns games, has left me happily proven wrong in this regard so far. I'm just too happy and satisfied with Yeo to get to caught up in the merits of starting Matt right now. Sheed, Duggan, Cripps, and Yeo are all going through the guts at regular stages, good signs.

Yeah I'm trolling.. Good one
Each of those players played "their role" more effectively than priddis did. His best quarter was the first quarter
Just because they don't get 40 disposals doesn't mean they were worse or less effective than priddis . which again is the priddites only ever measure
I'd argue in fact those other guys were more influential

Exactly we got smashed in clearances but win by 100

And the effectiveness of the 'extractorrr'
