Thomas vs Ballantyne

[ttamshadbolt]

I think LT needs to sit down and watch a few games of Hayden Ballantyne.

Lindsay needs to harden up and become an annoying forward/wingman and make 100% use of the ball he receives. Ballantyne's second efforts were impressive and his willingness to take a hard tackle and a late handball set-up as many as he kicked.

LT's got so much potential but needs to work much harder and impose himself as a player that oppositions don't want to play on.

If their backline played Thomas as stupidly as we played Ballantyne, LT would have kicked 10.
Ballantyne skunked out the back of the pack at almost every contest...looking for one over the top, and many times got it, often due to our blunders.
Whoever was playing on him needed to stay goalside of Ballantyne and not let him have a free run on goals.
Very dumb defence.
Surely his whack on Harvey will get looked at?

So he is exactly like Ballantyne?

Thomas is maligned, and our most potent forward.

Has to play taller than he should and often without the support he deserves.

Far from our worst yesterday.

harvey was clearly acting for a free, pretty embarrasing on his part.

Harvey should be reported for staging

This really highlights how irrational and one-eyed your posts are, embarrassing bit of staging by your captain and the umpire quite rightly ignored it.

What a bitter sod you are

Ballantyne is not selfish btw, if you watched the game you'd realise his second efforts, 1%ers and run downs are as impressive as the goals he kicks. (directed at DarwinRoo)

Dont really think they wanted a Freo opinion on this otherwise it surely wouldve been posted on your board. So much attention this board has recieved lately from you insecure lot. Wouldnt your time be better off spent watching that unbelievable Elimination Final you guys won last year as its the greatest moment in your history.

Pathetic disposal or not yesterday, we will still thump you at Etihad later this year

Yeah we're all bitter, wish we were like Freo.FFS piss off already, ya club sucks balls

 

[poltom]

Thomas
Finds injuries when it gets tough Hold yor breath when shooting for a set shot. He does try hard, but isn't realiable every week.

Not the only Forward letting us down.

Ballantyne
Always dangerous and a little shit.

Agreed, shook my head when he did it....he was well known for staging for frees many years ago so was surprised he'd try it again.

Incident with Harvey was looked at by MRP and no action taken, so I was right.
And the decision is fair enough too.

Harvey over-reacted in a bid for a free. But you aren't pretending Ballantyne didn't touch him, are you?

0.6 is potent?

Man it's a big whateva, I realise the worlds gone to pot, reality tv and the like. I know the true value of a footy club and Freomantle will never have it.You guys suck balls. We all saw that last season when a pretty ordinary North outfit smashed the shit out of you guys.

 

[Only Forwards]

0.6 is potent?

Looking broader than a solitary game.

Leading goal kicker last year.

Looking at 1 game of our current list who else has had 12 shots in 1 game other than LT?

I know he's no longer with us, but Johnny Hay comes to mind.

Yep agree with you there taco....embarrassing way to lead young men from Harvey, should take a long look at himself. Not captain behavior.

 

[Mr--ShinBoner--#11]

this is a bit off topic..
dunno if anyone was watching one week at a time just then..
LT bending over to do his shoelaces or fix his socks or something. ballantyne comes up and shoves him over.
luke darcy: "i just love seeing that"

hypocritical? biased? im over this shit.

 

[jezaroo]

Yep I saw it, what a tool

 

[Arden]

Luke Darcy is THE biggest flog getting around in the media.

And that includes Caro.

 

[Dan]

The only real difference between LT's first 2 games this season and his game on Sunday.......he didn't convert his chances. He has been a best forward so far this season.....cut him some slack.

 

[Roosurgence]

Ballantynes a downhill skier.

Has the most hitable head in the AFL and will take great delight in watching it knocked off one day.

If Thomas played for Fremantle yesterday he would have had at least 20 shots on goal, the ball was coming in that easily.

Pretty sure in that instance the toppled player is allowed to put the offending player in a headlock and try to choke the air out of them.

I believe this is known as "showing restraint".
