78 anti-Gibbs postings by you in 14 days (a fact) = a talent envy obsession.

i started up a thread comparing 5 players on the polls board, Gibbs,Selwood,Cotchin,Palmer,Pendleburry,

i am allowed to post as much as i want in a thread i created, Carlton supporters came on their giving their biased opinions about Gibbs and i simply responded to them

the best team in the AFL which is well on track to win 3 premierships due to the age of the list we have, would not be envious of an average football player playing for a bottom 8 side, like i said when you support a club as successful as Geelong is, everything else doesn't worry you one bit, we are just that much better then the rest of the competition, simply nothing to worry about.

just simply pointing out facts is all parrot, i know it must be hard for you to accept thought, i understand this so i will cut you some slack

 

[mediumsizered]

their is a difference between envy and just simply pointing out facts, mate, when you go for a team that is as successful as Geelong is, their is not a single thing which troubles us.

Then why have you not only posted 13 times in the last 24 hours about Gibbs, but also have spent much time in threads about Luke Hodge, in fact calling him a dud in one post.

Tell us all again how successful Geelong is? 1 premiership in 44 years. Give us a break. Yes they are the best team in the competition at the moment, but in that 44 years between premierships for Geelong, Carlton & Hawthorn won 8 premierships, Richmond 5, Essendon 4, North Melbourne 4, West Coast Eagles 3, Brisbane 3 & Adelaide 2. Even St Kilda won a premiership in that time.

Don't come on here & start sprouting about success, because you don't really know what success is.

You made the statement that he would definitely be better than Judd. Are you backing away from this now that you have realised the enormity of such a statement?

FWIW, Judd's first 2 seasons were not spent playing for the best team in the competition. You see what he has done this season in a team that has been diabolical for 5 of the last 6 seasons & it gives you some idea of how good Judd is. How would Selwood be going in a team that in recent seasons has regularly lost more games than it has won? We probably won't find that out for a couple of years, but we may get a clearer picture then.

If he keeps on continuing in the same trend he has been going these past two years i think he will be a better player than Judd, he has had the best first two years ever for a teenager coming into the AFL since it went professional.

Well put. Geelong is a successful team. Geelong is not a successful club. Oh well. One day maybe.

1 flag in 44 years aint success mate. Or do you count success a different way to everyone else?
And your opinions on Selwood aren't biased either?

Keep trying there mate, and i'll keep knocking your "opinions" out of the park.

Another biased opinion.
You are NOT going to win over here on the CARLTON board, but it sure is entertaining.

i am sitting in the middle of success right now, it is all i know of right this moment, we have won 37 of our past 39 games, a premiership by 20 goals.

When you are a talented side like Geelong is you do not look to the past for re assurance, only poor performing teams feel the need to do that for comforting purposes, Successful teams such as Geelong have much to look forward to, a premiership or two more on the horizon, we have no need to look to the past when we have such a bright future ahead of us, unlike Carlton who have to look to their past because the future does not hold much prospect.

You mean Geelongs 1 flag in 50 years? Guess that puts you in StKilda's league now. lol

You've won one flag and are well placed to go back-to-back this year, which is a fantastic effort, and you know what, everyone knows that. But, Geelong are not a successful club. You measure success on premierships, and not winning 37 out of 38 games. As we are saying, 1 flag in 44 years IS NOT SUCCESS.

Yes, Selwood has been very good in his first 2 seasons, but Judd took things to a whole new level from his 3rd season onwards. We probably won't find out for the next 4-5 years how good Selwood will be, because he will be overshadowed by Ablett, Bartel & Corey. That is where Judd was so good. He just leap-frogged the Eagles' better players to become not only their best player, but the best player in the AFL. All this by the time he had turned 23. Methinks Selwood will struggle to achieve what Judd did by 23 years of age.

FWIW, it is no point comparing Judd's disposal stats in his first 2 seasons with Selwood's disposal stats, as Geelong play a heavy possession game style, which has seen them average 409 disposals per game this season. Even Corey Enright got 35 disposals on Friday night & Andrew Mackie had 29. Disposal stats are very misleading these days. You just have to look at Matthew Priddis' 45 disposals against Hawthorn in Round 14 to see that it is much easier for players to get big numbers these days, than it was even 5 years ago.

Strangely enough, Eagles supporters were sprouting the same crap 2 years ago & we all know where they are at now. Don't get too carried away, oh crazy one, the AFL have a system in place that ensures the best are soon brought back to the field, just ask the ex-all conquering Lions.

Do you know why we look to the past so much? Because we have a past that we are extremely proud of. One that has been riddled with regular periods of success, unlike Geelong's past. As for the future, you have no way of knowing whether it holds any prospect for us, or not. That is a ridiculous statement, from someone who knows very little about how our game operates, but instead is one of the many bandwagoners who have jumped on board the Cats because they finally have achieved something. As a Carlton supporter, history tells me that my club knows what it takes to win premierships & has been laying the foundations over the last 2 seasons to build a team capable of the ultimate success. We have as much chance of winning a premiership in the future as every other team in the competition. That is how it works. You make any more comments along this line & you will be removed from our board.

 

[Gibbsy]

Midfielders do not get rated by how many goals they kick, Selwood is a midfielder who does his job better than Gibbs in the middle, Midfielders who are constantly on the bottom of the packs getting the hard ball gets do not get as many goals, it is the nippy electrifying outside midfielders who kick the goals, their are different types of midfielders. comparing their goal tally is a very poor way of comparison, Selwood has simply done a much better job as a ball winning midfielder, he has gotten more disposals and used the ball better than Gibbs.

If thats the case, how come Judd, who currently leads the comp in hard-ball/contested ball still manages to average a goal a game? So does that make him in and under midfielder or a nippy electrifying outside midfielder?

I reckon freak describes it better

 

[geelong_crazy26]

It was an anti-Gibbs, Selwood-talkup thread. No one was fooled. lol. You seem a little obsessed.

the media's opinions, performances, rising star, even on the poll i made he has 50 more votes than Gibbs, i cant find one single reason why i would be envious of Gibbs when nothing about his career has been better than Selwood's, i find it quite hilarious how badly you stuffed up your number one pick, just simply pointing out facts is all parrot.

Carlton's whole club is about developing and recruiting right now, and they take a player with their number one pick who is not the best player in that draft.. how many flags do you think that may cost your club one day? that difference between having the best midfielder in the competition compared to a top 20 player could cost you dearly one day.

and you say that Selwood is made look good because he is in a good side, How is this evident when he is the one throwing himself in the action getting hard ball gets and creating the plays himself? he is the one who sets the others up not the other way around, If anything it is Gibbs who is being made look better by Judd, Stevens and Murphy, Gibbs does not go in nearly as hard as Selwood does, he sits at the back of play and gets the ball given to him much more than Selwood does, so therefor by your logic Gibbs is the one being made to look good not Selwood.

the past two weeks you take out Ablett and Ling from the side, ( two of our best midfielders) and Selwood became the target of very close attention, and he still dominated, 31 disposals on friday night getting second best on ground against the second best team in the AFL in front of 90,000 people with an efficency rate of 90% for the night, he makes himself look good, no one else makes him look good.

a class above Gibbs in every way, not even close.

Carlton supporters should find something else to get excited about and hang their hat on rather then trying to talk up Gibbs to give themselves a buzz.

If i was Selwood i would be looking over my shoulder and locking my windows from creeps like you.... Mancrush of the extreme!!

Yes, you started that thread. Abused me for getting personal with a muppet called Hodgepodge, then resorted to personal abuse yourself. Hypocrite.
Is there a reason why you put Selwood up on that list with some first year players........one of whom is close to polling the same votes?

like i said when you support a club as successful as Geelong is,

.............and is that.....not very?

Was it no flag for 50 odd years?

Depends on how you define success doesn't it?

truth hurts a little?

 

[Bluebear]

nothing about his career has been better than Selwood's,

Defensive pressure perhaps?

Funny, when he gets the ball Selwood is always in so much space........even when the Cats don't have the ball he is looking for space........makes you wonder what his opponent is up to.

Geelong is like the hard working office man who has worked his way up the rankings to become a big CEO, now living in a mansion with a laggoon out back, we have worked our way up to being a powerhouse dominant AFL side, on track to be one of the greatest ever, while Carlton is like the CEO who stuffed up and sent his company broke and lost everything living out of an appartment, your club was sent into debt for salary cap breaches and has struggled ever since, you are no longer a powerhouse side, have not been for some time, Geelong has taken that mantle off the lions and eagles.

what's wrong mods? every time i post a pure fact that you don't like the sound of are you going to threaten me with banns? not everything about your football club is rose smelling, People ring up on the radio and give negative opinions about football club's and it is allowed, criticism is a part of life, just learn to cop it.

Take note of how quickly it went back the other way for the Lions and Eagles.

The sign of a strong club is how well it goes in poor years. Everyone can get on board when you are winning......but will you post record memberships off the back of a spoon?

Don't think so.

I'm sure the irony of you posting in this thread isn't lost.
Started by a troll........finished by a ................

Save your tyre pumping for the main board.

Still didn't answer why you put Cotchin and Palmer in the poll with Selwood........but then again, you're trolling. Why would you want to actually debate something logically.

Maybe I should start a poll, and put Murphy up vs some first year players......see how he would go.
