Jake Niall sits down to piss

 

[Miha]

Anyone listen to the Age realfooty podcast? Jake Niall reckons this season still doesn't justify the Ratts sacking while also saying our list is no good. Thinks the Ratts sacking tarnished the brand of the club.

Thankfully Caro put him in his place but honestly some of these paid footy "experts" are genuinely clueless.

All these journos are stealing a living getting paid to talk like offended supporters

Jake Niall hates St Kilda for some reason

David Misson on SEN Breakfast with Kane & Bucks 21/8

that was great, though I wished they asked about the conditioning of pou/owens/nas, and how long off their peak they are etc, how pou is pulling up, when owens will be able to play a full game through the middle etc

lol the salt in this, and he’s still trying to put a caveat on our year.

What a shmuck.
Justifying our “early finals” slot because of the Eagles win.
First and last article of his I’ll ever read.

Heard that. Biggest load of crap I've heard come out of his mouth.

This is a results driven industry. There is no tarnish and we have been in the 8 all year. If I were to guess, he's a pissed off essendon supporter? How's 20 years of being nice and not rocking the boat got ya?

I've always got time for Caro. She is a straight shooter but knows her stuff.

Well done Crouchy… according to Daniel Hoyne he has lifted himself into the top 60 of the comp in the last 6 weeks for score involvements but MORE importantly his improvement has allowed Sinclair to remain a permanent HBF where our counterattack footy is back in business again

I think he will win our B&F has a real solid work rate

Gonna be so hard to split sincs, Wilkie and crouch. Even Roma has had a brilliant year. Would be good to see Crouch or Marshall grab one. Reckon Wilkie will get 1-2 through his career and sincs already has one ... share the love a bit!

 

[hayes]

I don’t think it’s close TBH. Sinclair has been miles ahead of everyone, I don’t think he’s had a bad game all year.

 

[bergholt]

I can't deny that I am a sceptic
In saying that, I wish him well.
Keeps his head in check, and feet on the ground, he may stand a chance...time will tell.

You’re a sceptic about this kid in particular or all the Irish imports/exports?

 

[Joffaboy]

Has been the only constant in the mids, skipper injured and off year, Seb and Jones constantly injured, and a bunch of kids, has been excellent all year.

I worry about them breaking their contracts early, going home, and wasting time and resources. I'm also sceptical about success rates.
My opinion isn't particularly popular, but it's what I think, and I stand by it.
The percentages don't lie. The majority go home. I'd prefer club resources go towards something more proactive in local communities and other grassroots endeavors, and find a way to identify the talent under their noses that may not as yet been noticed. It's actually one thing I'll give the GAA in Ireland, they have numerous measures and ways to reach into their communities. It's a good model in that respect. I'd like AFL clubs do something in the same vein. How to do it, is something better minds than mine will have to come up with.
Like I said though, I wish this kid we've signed all the best... he's young, and a talented GAA player. I've read that he's also been out here before, it should mitigate some of my doubts mentioned above. I hope it works out for us and him.
If we end up with another Zach Tuohoy, I'll be as happy as anyone else.

Problem with finding good local talent is that if they turn out to be any good then you can't draft them unless you have one of the Qld/Syd academies.

Yep, absolutely agree with you there. It is 100% something that needs to be reviewed, addressed, and made right. It's a farce at the moment and far too one sided.

The problem with investing locally is when there's a decent kid up for grabs we don't get first dibs, Windy and Owens were a fluke and we should have had access to m
MacKenzie who was part of the st kilda academy I think. At the same time I take your point too, it's high risk, I don't think it's cold enough for them here and they're used to playing in an amateur setting which probably isn't as disciplined as AFL (which is a totally assumption of course) and not being able to party after games might not be as fun, plus the Aussie dollar is down against most major currencies at the moment too - maybe that keeps them here longer whilst they wait for new GDP data to come through and lift the AUD/EUR rate hahaha
