2 of my 3 roommates studied what Chuck learned in Korea (tong su do) to a high level.

It is seriously nasty stuff.

When we all went out together in Itaewon, I felt like a VIP!

It’s like walking around with a weapon

Jarryd Blair was great at tackling and applying pressure though. He was very undersized but the effort was very high every game. Sullivan does not play like Blair at all.

Closest to Blair effort wise is Schult, except Schultz is 3 to 4 inches taller and has burst

When Blair first played for us he was an in and under midfielder in the Sullivan mould. Short and slow with no stand out traits. Never rated his pressure or tackling from memory but that was the reason he was in Buck's side in the forward line. Most of his career was as a forward but before that when in the midfield I would say his game mirrored Sullivan.

I think Sullivan is safe, not sure about the other 2

Yes he is but I would prefer to cut him over Long.

One of them was 4th dan & one of his students said to me once, "If Russell needed to, he could fight his way through all of these guys & walk away..."

(We were in a large nightclub with about 80 military personnel).

I've always taken that seriously as the dude telling me that was a massive soldier I had played basketball with who looked like he could eat me for breakfast, & there he was talking in hushed, reverent terms about my goofy-looking housemate Russell.

Don't think there is going to be any sanity left by the time the 2025 season starts.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

I don't agree, thought Sullivan showed signs he is at least an ok AFL player, I didn't think long showed anything, id prefer to cut long and draft a kid

 

[Hello harry]

I wouldn’t even have him at Williamstown

Don’t worry mate he would never want to go there, I’d imagine he would have some pride

Richards would be the most likely with his Collingwood heritage

He’s the one I think we should target, not necessarily because of his name but because he’s that speedy running type that suits our play style.

What's moronic is some morons claiming other people are morons because one group of morons lacks the required levels of dna inspired moronicity to agree with the other group of morons

Shut up you moron

I think Willy would take care of your mob at the minute.

By the way, what the hell are you doing here? Are you lost?

Closest to Blair effort wise is Schult, except Schultz is 3 to 4 inches taller and has burst

Was he though? One of the biggest gripes with Blair was that his tackles were easy to break and he spent a lot of time corralling players with the ball rather than attempting to put genuine tackling pressure on them.
He did well to play as many games as he did, but he’s not even close to Schultz as a pressure forward (and Schultz only has about 1.5 inches on him, so not anywhere near as big of a size difference as you claim).

Membrey means we NEVER should play Billy up forward again. Hopefully having a defined role will do him good. There was a period in early 2024 when Billy was our top defensive stopper.

I genuinely thought you meant Elliott for a moment there when you said Billy, and was baffled

 

[Fat Jesus]

Hang in there - BF has its own way of clearing things up - I suspect my wife thinks I'm moronic just for posting sh#te like this

Relax. I'm the biggest moron here. Let her know.
She's already likely a big fan of mine.

Shut up you moron

I was expecting something along those lines...

Are you challenging me to a moron off? Because this is right in my wheel house.

Clearly. Hes the only bloke left on your list

 

[loki04]

If you read the original post I replied to it was about an inside mid or a good approximation to one.

Perryman will fill that role. Mitchell will be available ( and no reason to think he won’t be), so Mitchell fill the Mitchell role.

Perryman will join the rotations and play inside and outside as the game requires. It’s not as if good players can’t do both.

I NEVER said he’d be the new inside mid.

You replied to this post in regards to coming in and being an inside brute like Mitchell who was sepicifally named.

...and do we want Nick Daicos to bear the brunt of that physical brutality? You take care of your geniuses, you don't send them in to be brutally bashed just because they're good at withstanding it and still escaping with the ball. You want your genius to remain pristine for as long as possible.

Apart from Titch, there is no one on our list who (yet) is fully capable of playing this role, or even an approximation to it.

We are totally dependent upon the improvement of Ed Allan and Ned Long this year in such a role. Hopefully, this does happen. But we haven't taken any insurance out on this.

Your response...

We’ve brought in Perryman for this. Houston also frees up our existing players

Which led to me asking:

Hmm has Perryman ever played that role or shown he is capable of sustaining that role to a high level?

Your emphatic response.

Yes.

My follow up.

When and vs who?

You then responded with something that doesn't even make sense because you had no evidence of him performing that role.

Yes.

What Timmy from Thomastown said...^

Maybe follow the conversation if you are going to be so emphatic about backing up someone who is doing mental gymnastics to get out of what they posted.

Perrymen may be great at the role if given it, but that wasn't my question to him.

Get a life.

What you don't like your own medicine back at you?

Bet you'll go cry to the mods to have the posts deleted like you and some others love to do when you get put back in your box.
