Toby McLean rising star nomination

[fronkalicious]

Reckon Nick Graham will get it. Only a matter of time until Toby gets one anyway.

No guarantees with this. Libba is still waiting.

True and thought the same after Clay kicked 4 on debut.

 

[Mattdougie]

Someone having a positive opinion (or one that is different to yours) hardly means they are towing the party line. That is dismissive and simplistic.

Wait a second

Again this is being made about me

I was saying what the guy I spoke to said but myself personally so I was defending his right to have an opinion but mine

Clay has the moral nomination.

We can thank the jackass who filed the paperwork for giving it to the wrong Clay(e ).

 

[ManOfClay]

Thought he made some awful mistakes and decisions in first half and had a better second half in that respect.
.

Disposal efficiency of 80% and no clangers. Those stats aren't the be all and end all but you'd think if he was making some awful mistakes they wouldn't be as favourable

I wouldn't go around quoting some guy who is calling a 3rd gamer shit when they don't even know who he is and acting like it's a wildly held opinion.

Let's not turn this thread to yet another about Matt. Please.

I've watched games where Lin Jong handballs less than a meter to a stationary man with an opponent standing next to him.

Coz he hits the target it isn't counted as a clanger so you are right those stats mean zero.

As I said already I only noticed the mistake he made coz the bloke pointed it out and then the goal he kicked, other than that he didn't really stand out either way for me so for 3rd gamer that's not bad in my book.

I can't take anyone seriously who says "tow the line" when they mean "toe the line".

I thought that would be blindingly obvious to someone who purports to know football. Like when kicking out, the toe that's attached to the foot has to be be behind the line. The line is painted, so how can you tow it?

Bingo... i've been bitching about this for some time, Jong isn't the only culprit, I've seen Wallis, Macrae and Bont do this far too many times in recent weeks. It could just be an inexperience thing, But there are too sides to every story i guess, and the stationary man needs to pull his thumb out and move also. Just little things from lst year creeping into our game in general that were not there in such numbers at the start of the year.

A little outside what you guys are speaking about but since i saw it in your post i thought it needed to be highlighted.

Charlie Cameron gets it from the crows. Think Toby will get one before the year is done if his current form continues.

Cameron has been good for the Crows, worthy nominee.

Wow , MD , ( hope you don't mind me using your material )
This kid will play 200 games.

Birds of a feather eh!

 

[ducksonthepond]

I can't see the relevance of quoting some dope sitting near you as some type of support for your doubts on McLean's performance. The guy didn't know who the player was and obviously hasn't been watching him closely over the past few weeks.
Then you went on to quote the dope again by referring to a "whooper" he commented on.
If you have an opinion on McLean then just state it without referring to the uninformed comments of someone who obviously has no clue whatsoever.

Birds of a feather mate!

 

[Tommycash]

Will they give us two in a row though?

Hogan and Brayshaw from Melbourne did. I don't think it's too uncommon.

 

[BoydOHboyd]

Hogan and Brayshaw are a little different, they're two of the most impressive so far this year!

Well, heres an interesting thing - as of round 12 (saints game not included)

Boyd has more scoring involvements than Murph and Wood has more scoring involvements than JJ.

I'm glad Cameron got it. I watched him at the Swans and he was always an amazing scrapper. Just gave everything in the contest. One of the hardest working kids I have seen.
