Will Ben Kinnear get a run?

[brentoncowell]

Nearly back from injury will be up for selection very soon. He has to ba chance,because of his consistant footy before injury. He is my favourite player and im being a little biased but i would like to know what you guys think.

 

[Nic]

Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Joel]

No, not now.

 

[hotpie]

Presti will replace Walker.
Kinnear might replace McKee, but I doubt it.

 

[statman]

I heard Mick Speak very highly of BK in a reasent interview while he was injured

GO BK
Go AND GET'M

If BK comes back this season, it will prove to me that MM wants to try and win the premiership from as low on the ladder as possible.

He wouldn't be in our top 30 players, so unless we have at least 8 injuries he shouldn't get a game.

And wouldnt be of right mind.He is better than Cole,C.Cloke, Crow, davidson,,Eichner, Freeborn, Hooker, King, Maxwell, Mcgough, Mullins, Nixon, Richards, Richardson, Roe, Shackleton, Walker and at the same level as Betheras,Davis,Didak and Mckee. 44, on the list and i have named 21 and have excluded Molloy/Williams/Swan. He is around the 20-24 mark and after his good form pre-injury deserves a recall. He is tall and we have Walker and Mckee and Cole in the side at the moment.

Kinnear is just a little better than a rock.
Although a rock has slightly more football ability, Kinnear is a touch quicker.
I rate a rock with a better football brain and a rock is very hard.
For mine I'd play a rock before Kinnear.

As for MM speaking up Kinnear - Trade bait, but I feel no one is that stupid.

Those advocating Kinnear, just check out his stats in the games he has played this year - or any year for that matter.

No way he is a FN dud!

Wrong
McKee might not be much of a ruckman, but around the ground at least he can take a few marks and play the spare man in defence role well.
Kinnear is not 1/10 the player McKee is.

^your kidding me. Mckee is shocking when he gets the ball he doesn't know what to do with it.

 

[Whisky_McKay]

As opposed to Ben Kinnear, who does know what to do with it.
I think not!!!!

I think a rock should get a game too

I would like to think Kinnear would know what to do with the ball, the problem is that he isn't good enough to ever get the ball.

I'd be playing Richo in the team, long before i think about putting Kinnear back in.

 

[statman]

Well he has three brownlow votes, just as manny as A two time coplandtrophy winner, Paul Licuria
I think that he will get just one more run to proove him self, if he doesn't he will get delisted after all he has been on the list for four years now...right???

 

[MarkT]

OK I"M LOSING PATIENCE!!!

 

[Whisky_McKay]

Kinnear has been on the list for 5 years.

You're kidding right? Mckee has infinitely better disposal than Kinnear. He's a good left foot kick and good with his hands, too. Going on this year's three games or so, whenever I've seen Kinnear with the ball he bombs it long to a contest, mostly because of pressure. Mckee looks a bit slow but never seems to get caught.

Did you see the Geelong game?

Statman - I have said this before but in that game where Kinnear got three Brownlow votes. Not one football comentator or football journo gave Kinnear a vote that day.
Sometimes (and I am sure you will find this a huge surprise) the Umpires get it wrong.

I'm still waiting on someone to give me Kinnears Stats. As your login name is STATMAN maybe you can give them to me.
Not just kicks, handballs and marks (although there aren't many of them anyway) but include turn overs, hand ball receives, hard ball gets, tackles and clangers.
And after you have seen how pathetic they are tell me what a great "club man" he is.

NO Doubt umpires get it wrong all the time.. I have the stats at home, Iwill get onto that, If it's at all possible I would say that he has had more turn overs then kicks.....
How can you or I question the fact that any player is a club man? do we know them, a club man doesn't mean that he gets 30 kicks week in week out, all that means is that he plays for the club that he will put hi body on the line, and that he would do anything for the club. I think that any player that plays AFL is a club man, because they exept great risk in playing AFL football...

He ranks somewhere between 20-25 on our list. Whether he gets a run depends on form of our talls.

Why the hell are you a big fan of Woey? He has only been with the pies not even a year. He has a won a brownlow and that wasnt for the pies. He,plays for the Pies and with the exclusion of mgogh and C.Cloke i like all the pies boys. He obviously is a hack if he is at AFL level.

He ranks somewhere between 20-25 on our list. Whether he gets a run depends on form of our talls.

I agree and the talls currently in the side are Walker and Mckee who can very easily be replaced. Cole also has to come out and there are five in contention for a recall/inclusion, Presti, Molloy, Davis, Betheras and Kinnear. If you remember back both Leon and Rupe were ommitted and BK only missed through injury.

If Kinnear if in out top 25 players, then i fear our team is in worse shape then i thought it was.
We wont win a premiership if he is in that player bracket.
