"darling can you fetch me another bottle of wine, I know I've already polished off two but I'm reading some stuff on Bigf...no I'm not downloading pr0n...I think I'm going to need more alcohol before I'm done"

Hey... I chuckled

 

[Delids]

I watched him in Shepp in the practice match against saints, he played like he has in the past, he fell over himself, made bad decisions and couldnt hit a target.
Arent we trying to weed out players that are soft, bad skills and poor decsions.
Post and Vickery are playing twos and this guy is playing for Coburg seniors no wonder our developement and recruitment has been a laughing stock for years!

Now why did ya have to go and ruin a perfectly funny thread

 

[t_bond_legend]

Is JON a midfielder? A defender? A forward? I'm afraid the reason why he has been tried everywhere is because he keeps on failing wherever he is put. He might be a first rounder, but JON just isn't a footballer.

Ahhh, time and time again, beaver never ceases to amaze me.

Give this man a cigar will ya?

 

[getthefooty]

Jeez you're really getting some love now beave. I can still remember the good old days, i.e. 3 weeks ago, when everyone hated you. Shows what a stupid bunch of supporters we have here really.

 

[beaver fever]

I don't post here to get kudos, I post here because I need to let my frustrations about my club out. If you're in the firing line then I won't hold back any punches.

 

[getthefooty]

Yes I've learnt that by now beave.

 

[t_bond_legend]

I've always had man love for beaver. He, unlike the majority of you lot, is actually realistic.

P.S. He also uses a tool which you guys lack. Something called 'sense' in his arguments.

 

[beaver fever]

Back to the thread, I'm ignoring the OP, and going with the title.

First we need to identify the problem.

Tall Forwards: Richardson, Riewoldt, Pattison, Hughes, Gourdis

Structurally this is boarder line ok in terms of number of players, but quality wise it is very poor. I think a healthy number of tall forwards is around 5-6. Probably 6. Ideally you want 3 AFL grade tall forwards with 3 developing forwards. Need one of these to be able to come into the side if injuries occur. What we have are 2 AFL grade players, 1 dud, and 2 developing. 1 of the AFL grade players is about to retire and one of the developers is on his last chance and will most likely fail, so that leaves 1 AFL grade tall forward and 1 developing. We have to think worse case scenarios because we need to be prepared for developers to fail.

Small Forwards: Brown, Morton, Nahas, Gilligan

Structurally this is good in numbers, and quality is ok. However problems are still evident. We have 2 AFL grade players and 2 developers. This is fine but Brown will retire soon and is already starting to drop in form. Nahas and Gilligan still need time to come good.

So what do we need to do? Well as I've pointed out we need to find 2 more AFL grade talls and 1 more AFL grade small forward looking to the future. I think we can solve the small forward issue easy enough, especially if one of Nahas and Gilligan push on. Nahas certainly is a class above VFL. We need to draft a specialist forward in the draft. Tall forwards are a different matter. I think that Richardson, Pattison, and Hughes are gone so we need to draft quite a few tall forwards. I'd take more than the ideal number structurally so we can weed out the duds and have a greater chance of finding AFL grade forwards. Take 6 tall forwards in the next 2 drafts. This problem will take a while to solve. Hopefully Vickery/Putt can hold down a key post during their development in the meantime.

Is Terry on a semi

LOL....Exactly PRF!!
Love ya work.

 

[nut]

His eyes are genetically larger enabling him to read the play better, and his skin has more mellonin to allow him to play in hotter conditions. He lived off the land in Kakadu enableing him to have a preservative free diet and succeed in the big league.

He is from the western tribes.... ...


JON will be in our best 22 by years end... and we will make finals...

Will TW still be up his clacker? (see photo)
If no TW....no JON....no Schulz...no Tambling...etc, etc.

 

[courtjester]

Geez JON looks uncomfortable in that photo doesn't he?

Perhaps that's why he isn't trying. He doesn't want to play 1sts.

Doesn't want to be around TW's back door man-love shenanigans...

JON and Tambling working in cohesion in the forward line will create nightmares for the opposition

and on the flip side, if you wake up from your wet dream, JON & Tambling working as they do now in our forward line, i.e. inconhesion, will create nightmares for our coaching panel and slapstick comedy for us, in the stands.
But hey, I am, tipping TW has scripted this beautifully. He has hidden the missing link away from the publics eyes, created an atmosphere of drama in an effort to be coach of the side, that will unleash the greatest fightback ever to a season.
JON mania is about to hit the AFL world. Move over Buddy, the next super star is ready.

Not only does he have more high-twitch muscle fibres than ablett due to his ethnicity but he is faster than franklin. The handbreak is going to be released and his pick 8 value will show itself. His 10ft jump and vice-like grip will earn him his CHF role. Take a backseat reiwolt JON is here.

 

[corporal]

Couldn't do a lot worse then the muppets already in the side so why not give him a crack for a couple of consecutive games.

To that end I would love to see Schultz get a couple of games as a permanent forward not some around the ground utility.

He may well be a spud however he is never in the forward line long enough to really see. When you consider 4 out of 5 kicks into the forward 50 are spuds, the limited time he does spend in the forward line he generally sees no lace out pass's.

This is something we tend to forget about our forwards, they suffer from slow movement forward and awful disposal.

most assuredly. The problem is that the handbrake cable mut have rusted and TW is having trouble releasing it. Thats why you see TW sitting in the box, holding the phone while the tigers entertain the fans with their slapstick comedy, he is on the blower to the mechanic asking him WTF happened to the WD40!!!!
i.e. the problems you see now, dont happen overnight, and the solution to those problems would have been included before round 1, if they were a solution.
i.e. again, anything TW tries from here on in is pure hit and hope. Just like many of our players disposals, hit and hope. Its the hit and hope team, coached by the hit and hope expert.

The scene is set, Grand final day 2010 deep into the fourth quarter Richmond are 5 points down the crowd are at fever pitch. Richard Tambling shooting like a bullet from a tangled pack of Carlton players flies from the centre square, his kick flying into the newly implanted pectorals of JON. The crowd falls silent, JON soaks in the pressure as if he was born for this moment, the siren sounds... he begins to run slowly towards the goal, the crowd are nervous with anticipation, as if in slow motion the ball drops from his hand....hitting his boot perfectly, the ball flies as straight as Jake Kings back........into the arms of the man on the mark............the crowd are dead silent, the only sound is the squeaky voice of JON.........."Did I do that?"............ Carlton celebrate madly, and Richmond rue the day this was ever mentioned on BigFooty.

go one better than that dude, it includes all the comedy company.
The siren goes after Bling has hit him on the chest, and the scores a level. Any score wins. As he moves in for the kick, Jake King runs past and roars for the ball, JON immediately hand balls it to him and the games over.

Where has all this JON love come from?

All you kids will get depression soon enough.

Manic depression is our clubs song!
