Preview Who gets the old heave ho for Freo? - Rd 11, 2021

[backtozero]

Another guy thats massively overrated is Robbie Gray.

Might have had maybe 5 genuinely good games in his career and mostly just gets gifted games based on his name. Give me an elite small like Stephen Milne, Eddie Betts or Chayse Jones over Gray any day.

He is definitely the least talented of three Gray brothers.

Why do we need Perth umpires? I'm sure they could have rustled up a couple of local umps that would be just as biased against Port as the Perth ones.

Well, you’ll be pleased to hear…..



Absolute bush league stuff.

If the AFL debut two umpires and have another two who ran ~15km the previous night and are flown in from the away team's home town but the game is Port Adelaide v Fremantle in the Sunday twilight so nobody actually watched, did it actually happen?

 

[Hodges 153!]

Home team supply umpires, away team ladies please bring a plate.

That is what you get when you put too many umpiring eggs in the Victorian basket.

Oh definitely.

People are misunderstanding Hartlett. He is a natural back pocket/half back. He has been one of our most consistent performers for five or six years now. This is the first time in a long time he's had a significant down patch.

That is the point ... he is a "consistent" performer. At pick #4, he should have been so much more.

All the SA fieldies tend to move to Melbourne. Curtis DeBoy and Eleni both have.

 

[Coobk001]

I remember when we decided to move HH back to defence. I thought it'd be the making of him. Really felt he'd finally deliver a season or two that matched his potential. Instead he's been nothing more than your average HBF.

A player like him should've been knocking on the door of AA at some stage but he has never even gone close.

He serves up a flashy patch of hard tough footy, or a skilled kick, or a few intercept grabs, or a burst through a pack once every 4-5 games, then disappears for the next few.

The worst part has always been his self preserving, never run at full tilt approach, in case he pinged the hammys. It's felt for many years like he just uses positioning to defend, as he is playing with intentionally limited pace. Pretty sure his chase down in the Dogs game was the first time I've seen him hit full tilt in 5 years.

That is the problem. In a national competition why do umpires have to relocate to Melbourne in order to reach the top level? So we end up with almost all of the top level umpires based in Melbourne so when Melbourne goes into another inevitable lockdown there is chaos.

It's almost as this national competition is Victoria centric and umpires living "interstate" aren't considered good enough.

They train and are coached in Melbourne and I guess it is more cost effective to base them in one location.

Watching the games obviously the training ain't working cos they are useless.

I don't know why PAFC66 cops so much stick when this absolute fu**head continues to be the worst poster on this forum unabated and unchallenged. Have you ever posted anything that wasn't just shitcanning our players?

Your still angry that your Jasper prophecy didn't come to past, yes he,s still a turd burger with special sauce and it says a lot about your judgment, don't get angry, get better

 

[AFC AFeederClub]

I fu**ing love Gavin Wanganeen. For mine our greatest AFL player (sorry Tredders fans). You deserve to be b*tch slapped.

Realistically in the 4-8 range of greatest players

I did say MG will be better than Charlie dixon but I still maintain Marshall is a soft footballer who is a lazy runner but has potential if he learns to run all day

Both are Crows trolls, just call them campaigners and watch them squirm.

Hinkley sympathizer, the tone of their grammar gives them away every time

 

[Grave Danger]

Neither did Lloyd Meek, so they won't be going with two rucks - stiff s**t Lobb, you'll have to step up.

 

[Econopower]

People are pretty harsh on Rozee. He's only in his third season. Some of the absolute greats in the current game took several years to become superstars. Dangerfield's first few seasons were nothing short of comical.
Just because Wingard was AA in his second season doesn't mean everyone is going to do that. Rozee will come good. Really good.

In his third season, playing predominantly forward, Dangerfield averaged 15 possessions a game and kicked 26 goals. Not sure I would describe that as ‘comical’.

You are right though that it wasn’t until his fifth season that he really took off as a high impact midfielder.

With respect to Rozee is first season was just so good that it makes it difficult to fairly judge seasons 2 and 3, though I don’t think there is much doubt that he has slipped below expectations this year.

Hopefully it proves to be a temporary dip...

Some of you *ers have clearly found Jack watts meth

 

[Econopower]

underated

john who?

Roger James never had a season where he averaged more than 20 disposals a game. And only 5 with more than 14. It was an era where there was less over disposal. And he was a very good user of the ball. But I would describe him as a good complementary player within an already good squad. The kind that helped you get over the top.

 

[philreich]

Just noticed that our last 5 games have gone WLWLW - hopefully the trend doesn't continue tomorrow!!!

Power freak 2008 why did you dislike this comment bro?
