Toast Tony Armstrong's 8 quarter day.

[mattys123]

I know he didn't have a choice in the matter but for Tony Armstrong to get through 8 quarters was a magnificent effort, considering he was in our best 3 in the VFL and nowhere near our worst in the seniors.

A simply THANK YOU TONY.

 

[Shaneprice97]

Fat Tony is the man

 

[BoxMatrix]

Did very well. 17 possessions in the AFL as well. Well done.

On the other hand... What sort of list management was going on with the team? Terrible.

 

[mike123]

I hope Tony doesn't get dropped. I want to see him play in Sydney.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Great effort

 

[Robroy22]

Well done Tony, that's the pie spirit

 

[MagpieBat]

Well done.

 

[Leigh Lowther]

THANK YOU TONY!!!

Selection should depend entirely on performance but I wouldn't hesitate to make an exception and ensure this guy gets another game in seniors, and that's not to say he didn't deserve it by his performance anyway.

EDIT: that is of course, unless hes buggered LOL

 

[Jonno94]

He wont be able to walk for a few days, good effort. To think he got dropped for Sinclair who did absolutely nothing.

 

[Good_Old]

14 km's ran in the VFL to back it up by playing a faster, more skilled level is no mean feat.

Well done Tony.

I reckon his training load will be pretty light this week.

 

[RUNVS]

Sorry for barging onto your board but not only does it show Tony Armstrong in a very positive light but it also goes to show how fit modern AFL players are. Tony probably ran 25km plus today.

 

[danielnajdek]

He might be out next week with soreness.

To play 2 full games in a day is epic.

When was the last time this happened

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Well done Tony.

Amateur hour at the match committee this year, just quietly.

 

[Pea Nut]

Yeah that is an unbelievable effort. Definitely earning his money this week.

 

[Shellz]

I'm actually annoyed that he played vfl today.

We knew Elliott was out and that we were going to bring young in. Why did we play the other two emergencies?

A poor decision by the club.

Re: Armstrong. Showed magnificent heart today. Well done!

 

[iGNITER]

yep.well done tony. i was wrong in the previous thread. rarely wrong but admit when i am.
he is a comptitor.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Couldn't tell! The axe will fall on other heads though

 

[Morganashlee]

Thought he looked stuffed in the first quarter. Fantastic effort to run out the game and contribute the way he did. TA, you were mighty.

 

[Mame]

Even the most staunch haters would pay that effort. On ya Tony!

Re: Armstrong. Showed magnificent heart today. Well done!

You could easily start a roast thread about Armstrong too, but it would be directed at the moronic decisions of the club over the past few days.

Timeline;

Elliott breaks down on Thursday, yet we name him in the 22 anyway, HUH?

We tell Young on Friday he is playing, yet still don't remove Elliott from the 22 to replace him with a fit emergency in the 25.

Young predictably doesn't play VFL today, but then we have no cover for a late problem because we played the other 2 emergencies full games in the VFL.

Pendles breaks down in the warmup, TA is called out of the stand after eating a bowl of spag bol after the game at Geelong, and is made the sub.

Reid breaks down 3 minutes in, TA comes on to play another full game.

ASTOUNDING * UP FROM THE CLUB ON ALL LEVELS.

 

[DaicosianMarvels]

Great effort by him and he still played better than half the team.

If he has another two decent games, give the guy another year.

 

[Big Bryza]

A huge effort. Thank you and well done to Tony. Was far from our worst in what was a disastrous night.

[Reykjavik]

Yep, heart and disposal skills. Huge effort to back up, you did us proud Tony.
