Training 2024 Preseason Thread

Always thought it was ******* stupid we drafted him and Bowey one after another. Two short people.

If you're gonna be a midget atleast bring something to the table. Bowey has composure. Laurie's just a shit player who's also short.

I'd really love to pull out topkents lab for this one but in my well thought out opinion-

Laurie is s**t as

I’m not a fan, which shows how far down I got Sparrow. Bloke loves fumbling it in congestion into opposition players chest.

Laurie isn’t that short, he is 179. Wouldn’t lump him in with the 170cm crew.

Sparrow is 184cm.

Ive liked what I've seen from Laurie in the VFL at times over the past couple of seasons , he just seems like a guy who can't make the jump. It is what it is. I got nothing against him.

wtf I was censored when I tried to use the M word.

Plenty of filtered and censored words on big footy if you look hard enough. Taken away many of my favourites.

Dwarf midget runt
Yeah nah couple fun ones still.

I agree, but I still rather see what he has got opposed to gifting games to mr 12 disposal turnover merchant Sparrow for another season.

I don't hate him either just can't see anything there, not the type of player we need either with Spargo and Bowey already ahead of him

That shocks me plays so much smaller.

If he was any good he'd be getting a game I'd say. Much like how I said I wanted to see Howes last year, yesterday was proof that despite being able to rack up 38 touches and 20 marks in a VFL game like he did on one occasion last year that he's a mile off it at AFL level.

 

[Headless]

Would rather give him a run in the guys at afl level than sit through another 74 of Sparrow in there.

If you rather Goodwin running the same personal doing the same thing year on year then that’s on you

I wasn't arguing either way - just asking what the basis was for saying Laurie could get the ball and Sparrow couldn't.

Sad part is yesterday wasn’t AFL level. They had 6-7 of there best 22 out and a brand new coach and systems.

It’s an obscure thing / small point to try zero in on after I mentioned 15 players but just look at Laurie’s VFL numbers vs Sparrows AFL numbers from last season. Different level I know but if one bloke tears it up at VFL and one struggles at AFL don’t you think it’s worth a swap? How the **** else do you make the 1sts if not that.

Spewing that we didn’t get Max Holmes with that pick. Would have been a fantastic fit - and is a very good player.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Let's talk about Kynan Brown , what a guy!

Legit looks best 22 and comfortably so. , Give him a full game in round 0. No sub nonsense.

So it's an AFL v. VFL comparison - no worries.

Excellent display of positivity A11!

You really do need to stop picking fights all over big footy headless.

 

[Headless]

Yes, how else would you compare it numnuts?

That's not very nice.

If they're not playing at the same level, I probably wouldn't use raw numbers at all in the way you seem to be. If Laurie were playing AFL level and Sparrow VFL, I'd contend Sparrow would be getting more of it. It's not a fair comparison.

I'd like to see Laurie in, for what it's worth (very little).

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

What was <insert Tim Lamb equivalent for the other 17 clubs> thinking passing on Kynan in the draft?

Haven't used the in like six posts. Feel dirty.

Not sure how me saying “he can find the pill” is comparing raw numbers.

Anyway if it makes you happy I will take him off the list and just run with the 12-13 guys ahead of him. Jesus.
