Bad Boomer !

[DemonTim]

Cool story bro.

He isnt in the voss/judd/ablett bracket.

He is fits down the bottom of the next rung beneath them.

Better than any player sydney has produced in the last 15 years bar goodes.

Jude Bolton? Rate Mcveigh pretty highly too

Probably not a good sledge, when swans players are two of the brownlow favs right now.

O'Loughlin, Kelly, Kirk, Leo Barry just off the top of my head of those currently not playing.

Longevity mistaken with greatness at north

A good player

when its been longevity at a very very good standard ( & continues to be so), then I think you can use the word "great". Not like he's been limping to the 427
At his best one of the elite players in the league. Now simply very good

Not sure the world owed Carey anything. Regardless of how long ago it was, he still f****d up.
FWIW I like Carey and rate his football opinion but don't have any sympathy for him each time this comes up.

lol

May as well throw in Bayes, Maxwell, Dunkley and Dale Lewis too.

Well I didn't because they're not as great.

Kirk was a million times a greater leader then Boomer. O'Loughlin was a champion as was Kelly.

Barry would be about on par, in that he was great also because of his longevity.

Don't kid yourself, Boomer is just a good 426 games player.

 

[apollo_creed]

The most damaging thing to happen to our football club in his time and he shouldn't mention it? It would be like an Eagles autobiography not mentioning drugs. You just can't avoid it

Or an eagles premiership without an *

Jetta unlucky.

O''Loughlin - lol
Kelly - fair call
Kirk - Lol
Barry - Lol

You havin a laugh mate?

Stick to following basketball.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Of course he's going to write that??? Rubbish!

His book is about football, and unless he was involved in the rubbish years ago he should shut up and say nothing. Its none of his business. Simple.

You think the Carey/Stevens thing had nothing to do with football?

 

[Wooffa]

That'd make a lot of sense if he hadn't played nearly 10 years of elite football after the age of 30.

I wouldn't really say its elite mate. Sure he has had his great moments, but his best form was well and truly behind him 5 years ago. Really not a threat now days. To be realistic, North would be better as a club if he retired, all it is doing is holding back youth which they need to come through desperately.

 

[Wooffa]

All you needed was to have a crack at his wife to complete your post.

Fair comment. Not too many people like him. Smug, arrogant.

 

[Wooffa]

Classy response

Thats what you expect from a Norf supporter. Classy comments.

OLoughlin - twice AA, premiership player.
Kirk - AA once, twice best and fairest, premiership player
Barry - Also twice AA

I know that might not mean much but those 5 AA's are 2 more then your whole team has managed from 2009 onwards.

You've had Goldstein, Thompson and Petrie receive one each from 2009.

So I'm not having a laugh. Those players were good. There are a stack of others like Bolton, McVeigh, Kennedy, Hanneberry.

Not sure why your post. The intial post was made about Sydney not churning out any champions, which is laughable and I don't even follow the swans.

 

[t_94]

Against my better judgment, I find myself disliking Harvey more than Carey tbh. I find everything about him inherently irritating; massive case of small man's syndrome. Obviously a great player though.

Anyway, all of this is secondary to the real discussion.

That was Harvey is a campaigner.

427 games and whatever other accolades you want to put in there doesn't change that.

That's how I view him and always will. I won't view him as a champion of our game in anyway shape or form.

Someone mentioned before about that knocking the ball out of Priddis' hands and demanding 50m. That's one of many incredibly unsportsmanlike attitudes he has shown to demonstrate. Who can also forget when WCE were thumping them in a final and he whacked a bloke an receive a massive suspension. The Crowley thing was just icing by the little turd. ZERO evidence and he lied his way into getting Crowley a punishment.

Just a smug and little arrogant knob.

I wasn't claiming them to be better or worse. You're letting your little love fest blind you from the initial statement put forward by another poster.

In that Swans don't develop champions.

I think the guys I have mentioned are champions and would struggle to see anyone who would disagree.
