Yeah, I get the feeling that you really aren't.

What was odd was the opening post which was like someone who'd never read the board would post. Posts something like, I don't reckon Dmac is all that good, has anyone else noticed this. Then tells us he's been reading the board for 12 months, so is obviously fully aware on the general thoughts on that and every other one of the questions posed. Just don't know if it's a Port troll or an apologist trolling the agitators.
 
The opening post was tongue in cheek. I wouldn't be jumping on the guy just yet, although these hit-the-ground-running accounts are usually indicative of an alias.
Yay !!! .....someone who can recognise a bit of sarcasm. I thought a witty opening post was a good idea to break the ice. I know the Crows midfield is in serious need of repair...but let's not all get too down in the dumps and start jumping at shadows. BOO ...it's must be a Port troll !!!! LOL ....seriously though...DMac is a muppet ;)

Who is your favourite character in The IT Crowd?
 
I'm pretty new on here....not sure where to post this....but I thought I should bring a keen eyed observation to the table...perhaps add a new perspective to the team analysis.

Has anyone else on this board noticed how bad DMac is ???? ...or is it just me???.....I'm starting to think he's not quite as good as the selectors seem to rate him.

I also think Thompson is too slow and Jenkins should be pulling down more contested marks for a player his size.

Oh...and Andy Otten is very underrated on this board ( best 22 in my book )

Go Crows !!!!!
I think people continue to hammer Jj
For no reason as he works harder in games then anyone else. The so called jo the goose goals are because no one can compete with his pace and strength. Dmac looks unfortunately finished. Will become depth and play some games but not many. He trys hard but the skill set he has, is not good enough

I like JJ a lot...just wish he pulled a few more in with a big frame like that...he really should be able to intimidate his opponent....his attack on the ball is often a bit casual....having said that... He's perfect to have with Eddie lurking near by :)

I think it's incredible that someone like JJ can be so maligned, and it says more about the posters than it does about him. Runs on the board people.....
The guy has incredible aerobic capacity and pace for a someone his size. So he plays to his strengths....and it's not enough for some.
He is an absolute gun who would be a walk up start into every side in the AFL. FFS sake, the Hawks recruited Vickery. Would anyone outside an asylum even entertain trading Josh for Tyrone for more than a microsecond?
Could he be better? Absolutely. But he doesn't deserve to be maligned as much as he is on this forum? No way.
I would like him to use his size and pace to get to more contests and create more contested ball. We all would, and it's about him striving to be a better player. No matter how great you are, you need to keep working on being better.
So Josh. Just sayin' you rock, but keep improving. And don't listen to the nay sayers. I doubt you would read this, but people love and value what you do.

Um... I guess it just take a lot of gut running to avoid that much contact, to emerge that bruise free



MmmThe so called jo the goose goals are because no one can compete with his pace and strength.

Except in 2 out of every 3 games and finals

He's goes missing a lot for a guy no one can compete with

What's your explanation for why he rated so poorly on a per games basis in the B&F?

You really should come and post in the Non-Crows AFL thread. Days like today really bring Crows fans together and I think you would really enjoy it !! Get to know everyone !!

Not at all, smart running and class. The guy has kicked more goal then most the last few years. He is slowly getting better at contested marking. Ps the final was the match committees fault, not his as he couldn't run or jump

He did look ok. Hawks do have a good record with turning mediocre talls into decent ones

He'll be a good role player for the Hawks in Clarkos system, which doesn't rely on talls dominating. He'll be a 30-40 goal a year forward who provides a chop out in the ruck and gives them a contest in the forward line. Takes the pressure off Gunston and Roughead to an extent.

If we didn't have Jenkins, I'd be happy with Vickery in our forward line in the same role. Unfortunately at the Tigers for Vickery, it was Riewoldt or bust and he got exposed.
