What about all the Roys who joined up with Richmond for more money!

Despite being a good player - Damien Hardwick.

Loves to give it out behind the play, but when it comes back at him, he doesn't like it one bit.

If you're gonna give it out, dirty like, you also need to take it, dirty and the like!!!!

Shaun Rehn ,and its got nothing to do with him being a good player. I just dislike him greatly.

 

[meg]

Top 3 are:

1/ Matthew Lloyd
2/ James Hird
3/ Nathan Buckley

No real reason, just don't like them

BSA and Grendel,

You don't have many arguments from me about Spider Everitt.

He is a potential matchwinner and until he applies himself he will always be considered a wasted talent.

However, I am led to believe that of all the players who travelled up to Queenland to speak to Blighty, it was Spider who made the biggest impact. He said something to the effort that he hadn't performed anywhere near the best of his ability and Blight told him that he will turn him into a champion.

He was rumoured to be in captaincy contention which is a bit of a laugh. I would not even use his name in the same sentence as Robert Harvey or Nathan Burke. Two champions who know about wearing the St Kilda jumper with pride.

He has committed himself long term to the club and is without a doubt easily the most popular St Kilda player amongst our younger and impressionable fans. The junior membership category is called the "Spider Club" and includes amongst other things entry to a Spider Everitt footy clinic. He is a role model to 1000's and his behaviour has been embrassing to say the least.

I think you are on the money with Blighty BSA. He won't take any crap from Spider and that is exactly what he needs. This is a make or break year for Spider and despite what I have said throughout this post, I have a very good feeling about him growing up and a result having a great year.

Just wanted to add that Carl Ditterich has been enlisted to act as a kind of mentor to him.

Spider and his family went up to Carl's Swan Hill property for a visit a few weeks ago.

This is a good idea in my opinion. Big Carl lacked disciplne throughout his career and was far from an angel. However, he was able to go on and have a very successful career with St Kilda and later Melbourne. Spider could be a champion if his talent and discipline can be harnassed and Carl could be the person to help him do this.

This comes a year after Neil Roberts was enlisted as a kind of mentor for Aussie Jones. Aussie didn't set the world on fire last year but his performance was considerably better than the year before.

Miss Magpie are u trying too tell me Aaron James has talent? lol

 

[Carey_is_King]

Jeez, I was with you until you mentioned Carl Ditterich. That's a bit like taking good taste advice from John Elliott !! Surely they could have picked a better mentor than that.

two words i have for all of you:
WAYNE CAREY
no make it three...
WAYNE ****ing CAREY!

 

[Carey_is_King]

Dees Rule (What ??)
I can understand your feelings. He has taken your lot to the cleaners on more than one occasion hasn't he ?

Can't understand why everyone hates Carey. Sure he carries on, whinges and is quite dirty behind the play, but he is just a superb player that every team would have wanted when he was in his prime - jeez its boring this anti-Carey BS.

Did like the jibe against Fletcher because he's "ugly and too good" - my Bomber mates and I have been referring to him as Chickmagnet and looker for years.... great player though....

Grendel you might find this amusing but the one player I used to really hate in 80's Hawks team was...Ken Judge, or should I say "rugged Ken Judge" - softest, whingiest, cry-baby w***er in the league in (usually) the toughest team - was also an horrendous stager for frees which thankfully he never got cos even the umps hated him. Must have been an embarrassment to Dermie, Ayres, Mew, Dipper etc when they tried to strut at the social club after the game....

PS. Not having a go at him as a coach here WCE fans (though I don't rate him that highly on that plain either)

Spot on Miss Magpie

 

[Carey_is_King]

Chris Grant gets my vote.
What's that you say ? I have already voted! No, not me, I wouldn't do that. Oh, and by the way, I vote for Chris Grant.

Grendel, stretch to call Manton a player??? Compare him and half your list. He would stack up okay.

Whoever suggests that this is all motivated by jealousy. Not quite right. Sure the players named are generally top players and do a lot of damage against our respective clubs but do you think we would be naming a first gamer or someone on the rookie list who hasn't made an impact yet?

Mercuri always annoys me. Always produces against the Blues. I don't want to be like him. Don't want him to play for us or anything like that. Just want him to tone down his heroics against us.

I don't like Libber, Jeff Farmer or Wanganeen an awful lot either.

 

[The Dutchman!]

Do Merc's "heroics" re: "always playing well against (the blues) us" stretch to his crap kicking for goal in the 99PF - including a sitter for 20 metres out with 2 minutes to go?

 

[Grendel]

ODN, hit a nerve did i? Manton is the worst footballer ive seen in a Carlton jumper to consistently get a game.

Cant mark,kick,handball ground skills non exsistent. Can spoil okay and tag a 3rd or 4th opposition tall forward.

Id much rather Hay,Croad,Rawlings,Graham as my tall defenders thanks. Dont think id be alone there either!

1. Wayne Carey. In the 95 finals series, I saw him push aside a small child who asked for his autograph.Most unpleasant.No one else was around, they hadn't lost.No excuses.The kid was upset afterwards.
2.Slider Lloyd. Cause he has in the past played for free kicks. I like Full Forwards who use their ability, pure and simple.
3.Libba.What he did to Mc Rae was inexcusable.I was there, saw it with my own eyes.No excuses.Could have killed the guy, or blinded him.

4.

 

[carly]

Libba and carey...carey because I do and Libba because he is an animal who picks on young guys like Ben Cousins!

 

[DEES RULE!]

sorry carey_is_king for having an opinion. i dont like carey... no wait i hate him, thats not to say that i dont think he used to be an amazing player but i still hate him coz he is an animal and i dont respect the fact that he thinks he can do anything he likes and the fact that he gets away with it.


------------------
you might not like it... but i really don't care!
GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!

Got any examples?

For the record, he has not been convicted at the tribunal since 1994.

Ron, no one was around, but you saw it?! When was the last time no one was around carey in public?!

Carey is a heartless person! That says it all i think!

Lets say he wasnt pulling any faces to any other teams supporters when collingwood were beating the roos at colonial when they were in orange!

Is it just me or does carey treat all non kangaroos fans like shit and pull faces at us?

Just Wondering!

P.S i was not asking carey to show respect towards me i was asking if he does it to other supporters!

Mags,
If you are an example, I think he has picked you in one - you are shit !

Get over it Mags, he doesn't have to treat you like a friend you know, he doesnt' even know who you are he doesn't owe you respect.
And try telling me that if heaps of people were constantly sledging you when you were trying to concentrate on something, that you wouldn't 'pull faces' too.. grow up, he owes you nothing
