I think the issue driving the discussion is either/both of:Yeah look I'm clearly not a tabs fan but as a freo fan I'd love for him To "make it"at AFL level but I just can't,for the life of me understand the hysteria his non selection causes some of our supporters.
It really is an indictment on our clubs position (lack of kpf's) when Mathew Taberner's held up as some sort of 'saviour' to our fwd line woes
I asked that question (about how many times he's kicked 3 goals or more in a game,hell make it 2 goals if you want)because so many of his fan bois first call to arms is "well kersten/McCarthy etc 'only'kicked 1/2 goals and got x/y amount of possessions,conveniently ignoring the fact tabs is not exactlysome kind of goal scoring machine/high possession winner himself ...tho the way some carry on you could be mistaken into thinking he was.
- People who have unrealistic expectations of how we should be performing
- People who don't think much of Ross
The second is an opinion and fair enough. Would be hard to change opinions on that and you can certainly make cases for SOME of Ross' methods.
The first is the one that annoys me. We are ahead of all of the other "rebuild" teams on the ladder and have punched well above our weight numerous times. I am ****ing stoked about our performances this year. Many obviously aren't and think we are just Bennell, A Pearce and a KPF from a flag. I am not so sure that is accurate.
