A Sign Of Madness - Priddis

[Kernel Sanders]

Gaff No 1001 for this year,

Ploddus, the Disposal Butcher, normally gets 35 of the worst & ineffectual posessions you can ever see, week in week out. Still gets left in the midfield but has no effect on the game.

This game, sub 20 posessions and still left in the midfield for the whole game. Midfield getting flogged, no problem, Captain Ploddus will turn things around.

Once you're in Woosha's Purple Circle, you get a game for life.


If Woosha had any balls, he'd drop Cox as well. Has either been past it for 2 years, or doesn't give a toss. Woeful, woeful performance you weak dog

Commentators said Cox is sick. Has apparently been ill all week.

Gaff 1002 for Woosha

Playing an ill Cox, especially given we can't run out games.

Still doesn't change Cox's rapid slip from an elite ruckman to a hack in the space of a few months, 2 years ago.

 

[Denton52]

LOL man what can you say. There's a strong sense of delusion around this club.

Some question why we run out of steam... well here's a clue. Our prime midfielder offers zero run, forcing everyone else to take up the slack... it catches up. He can't play anywhere else so rotations are minimal which is unlike every other team in the league.

Plus all his other deficiencies and the club expects us to take his 'Captaincy' seriously as if every one looks up to him.

Go away we don't need your negativity

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Priddis should have been dragged.

Strijk should have gone into the centre square and perhaps Masten, he's a dead weight in the forward line.

Failure to develop our young midfielders is killing us.

 

[Kernel Sanders]

Can't wait for the Pro Ploddus team to chirp in:

A rare off game
If he wasn't in the middle, we would have lost by 80
Leading AFL tackler
Leading AFL posession winner

So F***** What? We've built a midfield around a good honest twit, a slow butcher of the ball.

A.Selwood is no better. A good defensive HBB made into a 2IC midfielder.

<Shakes head> Captain Ploddus <Shakes head>

Exactly, and will be thing that will turn this once great club into a Richmond style club.

 

[Kernel Sanders]

What, beers are on you?

We should start dancing and singing in the aisles?

We have something to cheer about? A false dawn vs Eseendon, whom on the scale of the SUCK-O-METER, rated as 15/10, whereas we sucked as a 12/10.

But yeah you're right, no panic needed here, our team are doing well on this front.

 

[sTeeL]

Shocking to know that Murphy only actually started looking decent in his 4th season. Gibbs still isn't even at looking good week in and week out. 4th season.

Masten/Ebert are only 3rd season. Most of the guys around them are 1st or 2nd season. Give the team a break and some chance to develop.

And yes, your a joke KS and without Priddis the hard tag would have clamped someone else.

Have you notice that most weeks, Ploddus doesn't get a tag.

No tag whatsoever

Why would that be?

Because every single one of his 35+ posessions results in nothing, absolutely nothing. If it was up to most coaches, Captain Ploddus would be getting 50 posessions a match.

Think about it, all the times hw wins posesssions, bursts out of packs, it all adds NOTHING to the team. Furthermore its stunting the growth of our young midfielders who get no gametime in the middle.

Remember that word, NOTHING, that's what he adds to our team.

This is Murphy's 5th season.

You accept mediocrity and that's what you will produce for ever and a day. The last three years we have accepted Priddis as our leading midfielder and we have gone nowhere.


Now Priddis isn't the only one at fault today, others have played poorly. In the end the reality is a harsh one, the midfielder is the central cog in any team, the ability for your midfield to win the ball and then run; create and bring others into the game that sets teams apart from one another.


We went into this game with limited midfield depth and we where punished because of it. We could have thrown Masten and Strijk in there but beyond that our options where nonexistent.


Priddis lack of utility makes him a dead weight when tagged through the middle.

thats about it.

earth this is mars we have one loose.

You dont loose a football game because of one player.

 

[Avalor]

Cox is a worry. He used to be a good high mark some years ago - now he can't seem to do it all and is a liability in the forward line.
I think we are fast approaching the stage where we would be better off just going with Nik Nat and bringing in another runner/midfielder type - especially as we keep running out of legs all the time.
I hope we give JON a run soon to see what he can offer us.

There maybe excuses for Cox, but I think he is on thin ice at the moment. his miss at a gimme goal killed us, and Lynch can't kick a goal to save his life anymore.

 

[The Big Sticks]

Is Priddis really your captain?

I hate to say this but I don't mind Priddis as a player and I don't know why everyone is bagging him.

 

[bunsen burner]

Priddis was better than usual today. He only had 15 touches.

Nothing Cox has done or not done over the past two year justifies calling him a 'weak dog'. **** off and support Fremantle, you piece of s***.

 

[GOEAGLES 08]

looks like i better step in here. i am the sponser of priddis in '10.

KS, you really have no clue do you? ok say we take priddis out, the guy who gets the oppositions number 1 tagger is gone. i leader in clearances is gone.

whos going to be our main clearance getter? whos going to be able to break a tag and rack up lots of possies? who KS? who?

 

[Ghossein]

F*cking hell the stupidity when we're loosing is amazing.

"Yeah because we're hell shit so let's drop our best midfielder who's like 4th for tackles and 10th for disposals and let's also drop our premiership ruckman who's like the best in the competition so Lynch can go in the ruck backing up for Naitanui because Lynch is just sooo brilliant, let's also bring in Tony Notte and Lewis Broome, anythings better than a premiership ruckman and a midfielder that gets it 30 times in a side that's bottom"

just wow.

Cox was terrible against poor ruckmen tonight. That has to count for something. If he's ill, fine. He really couldn't have been much worse tonight though.

Priddis too (though I wouldn't consider dropping him) was well beaten by a first gamer who can't kick. Not exactly a captain's knock, as it were.

No. We've only lost how many games in the last three years?

Best midfielder in the comps worst Midfield, in round 22, 2011 do we still want more if the same?

I think we have lost 47 games, probably crack the 50 mark this year.

Ask me again after round 21, 2011.
