Yep 43000 is a disgrace... :rolleyes:

The sister comment was uncalled for so I take that back. Poor form on my part. Hardly think that Hudson will be better than Clarke and Biglands 'combined' though.

Good post. Unfortunately the way AFL is heading, these brutal injuries will be far too common in the future. Nathan Brown's leg is still etched in my mind and it still makes me cringe thinking about that incident. Caracella and J Brown both had sickening head clashes this year, not to mention...

Did either of them sleep with your sister ? Is that why you're bitter towards them ?

You've picked out 3 convenient examples that support your argument. If we go back further over the last 2 years, and compare a larger number of other games against other premier midfielders, I am sure the argument may stack up a little differently. I do agree with you in the sense that he...

Im with ya all the way buddy. You're 1/8 to draw another jack on the flop which isnt great, but for those that stay in (they could possibly catch a AKQ) they may come over the top of you. 10 players, $20 buy in - winner takes all, I have to get this right ! Theory is, with that sort of...

I grew up in Para Hills East, you must be an ok chick !

Which makes perfect f&*cken sense. How much of a dud can you be if you're rated 8th best in the b&f at a club who finished 3rd ? BTW, off topic, in Texas Hold'em if you get dealt a pair of jacks should you go all in before the flop ? Im practising for tomorrow nights poker comp at my joint ...

Spot on.

I think we need a private adjudicator on here to judge people's posts. If you post 3 posts in a given time frame that are deemed to be '********ing stupid' then you're banned. That'd rule out at least a half a dozen people on these boards and would save me from sifting through 10 pages of...

Ahead of Cox, Lade, Simmonds, White, Sandilands and Darcy ?

Don't be modest, sure you could've ! I thought I was quite reserved.

Of course there is ... Many worse ! Fact is, in this thread there have been so many ridiculous ill informed posts that I've seen on BF in a long time. The amount of cr@p that Biglands and Clarke have copped here is unfair and shows just how stupid many of you are.

We're probably overcomplicating a pretty simple issue. The fact is, a rising star nomination is recognition that a rookie has strung together a handful of impressive performances. Thats it.

Cool. Whilst that list has some quality players, there are also a largenumber of players on there that I would consider nothing more than 'solid contributors'. Kris Massie and Matty Bode are Rising star nominees and they are solid dependable players at best. In regards to the Reilly joke...

Definitely some champion names there. Looking closely, there is also some very good players, some good players, some average players and some flops. Most of that list however, seem to be in the good to very goodrange. I'm not sure I understand your point of listing all those names ?

Amazing how football clubs get things wrong so often. :cool:

Exactly. That is generally ALL he has to do. I agree with your post though, the player obviously has shown some sort of ability to win a nomination, but obviously it is no indication of the success he will achieve at the highest level.

Spot on.

I don't usually bite but .... Since 2001 (inclusive) we have made the finals 5/6 times, and made the top 4 3 times. So if his game tally is more a reflection on the Crows, what does that say about his performances in recent years ? Take your time before responding. :thumbsu:

Can I ask how you found yourself in the Crows Tavern ?

And considering the Lions lack of talls, he probably averages a lot more time on the ground aswell.

Of course we made the right call on the Meese. He was the best option 'AT THE TIME'. We all have PHD's in hindsight.

I think we've given ourselves a fantastic chance by selecting a 195cm athlete with good pedigree at pick 14. Like you said, he could be an Adam Goodes (who also slipped to pick 30+) or he could be a Polak who 'never quite got there'.

Spot on. :thumbsu: Some people have no idea.

Maric v Meesen would be worth the price of admission IMO.

Unfortunately the quality of posters is not all that high on BigFooty in general so finding quality conversation/discussion is difficult. You disagree with me Portentous ? You think Port will make the 8 ?

Deleted - Double Post

No need for the sarcasm. I meant to imply that it's not that special on the surface, but if he's only playing ruck for half the game, sitting back in the hole at CHB a lot, perhaps resting at full forward, then 13 hit outs may be reasonable. However, yes, I do agree 13 ho per game is nothing...

This is the answer I feel. Some clubs dont have the patience, or resources, for a kid to wack on some decent muscle.
