Opinion Commentary & Media VIII

[Hearts to hearts]

Look, “someone” posted the clip.

Simmo was one of my favourites back in the day. An unlikely type to play AFL, let alone 300 games and captain a club - during one of the hardest periods to be at North. Absolute shinboner.
Then to become a premiership coach - excellent.
I think the West Coast gig both matured and knackered him in the last couple years.
His appearance last night wasn’t unwatchable, I just thought he’d have some awesome retorts and barbs and would suit that show. For some reason I thought his dryness would throw Molloy and Pangs’ ribbings back to them with interest, but it never really happened.

Ah well. I wish him well for the future.

Has the Wizard taken a mark of the year contender yet ?

 

[Danni_Benson]

Wow - the Kennett article in the HS just now. Clarko was ‘cooked’ last few seasons.

True or not true the disrespect to utter those words about a 4 time premiership coach of your club! How revolting on Kennett’s part .

To be fair, this sentence is basically permanently applicable to any statement/action made by Kennett that revolves around the management/running of something

He’s obviously blown away that he hasn’t been credited for Hawthorn’s success this year.

In Kennett’s defense though, he is a wan$er of the highest order.

Hardwired to make everything about himself. Embarrassing.

Can confirm this sense of entitlement. The type who expects silver service because of his stature.
Kennett couldn't wait 5 mins for a haircut at a place that has no appointments. Heard he's a cheapskate as well.

You spelt miserable campaigner entirely incorrectly

I did have massive flog on the first pass but toned in down.
Amazing he doesn't take any blame for the pressure he put on Clarko or his part in the succession plan being a mess.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

It’s funny what parts of Hawthorn JK takes responsibility for while others areas…

Success has a Kennett father and failure is someone else’s fault.

I fixed that for you.

 

[Johnny99]

And I cringe whenever I watch most of them play. Hopefully Zane reaches his potential but regardless an elite small forward was exactly what we needed. So he's kind of right.

If we had drafted Watson, after 1 ordinary game, the headline would have been....
Roos waste pick 4 on midget forward pocket who cant play anywhere else on the ground and Zane Duursma future Hawk star takes mark of the year.

 

[Bren]

So.... its forever going to be:

Wasted #2 on Colby (vs Reid)
Wasted #4 on Dursma (vs Wiz)

Media circle-jerk for the ages...

 

[chubbspeterson]

Funny how there's no Cats should have taken Caddy over O'Sullivan talk or Demons Caddy over Windsor.

 

[Masked Avenger]

AFL careers are marathons - so to be going the crow when both players are 10 minutes into their careers is silliness from Hoyne.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Wasted #2 on Colby (vs Reid)

And u can’t argue with it really …
We are a stupid stupid club

 

[LB2Snake]

Hopefully BGZ prints that Watson garbage post and sticks it on the inside of his locker door. Stick it up em!!!

Nah McKercher is a superstar and will arguably be better than Reid. Duursma was a risk as selecting Watson would’ve been.

 

[chubbspeterson]

If we took the Wiz you'd be banging on about how he's going to request a trade to a big club like the Pies.

Suspect Geelong has a slightly better track record with recruiting and developing players than us

 

[Boner Spirit]

Those media off season blogs are fly fisherman and BF subscribers are rainbow trout ....

 

[chubbspeterson]

True. I guess that might come if/when they have a downturn. Just would be nice to see the odd "will the Cats regret choosing Jhye Clark over Philipou and Hollands" clickbait article every now and then.

'I don't want to do this' then compares it to Buddy/Tambling.

Right up there with the classics.

 

[archereleven]

He was trash the first 15 rounds or so. When hawks were flying he started to produce. He would’ve been trash for us the whole season. How about revisiting this in 5 years, not after 2 or 3 good games.. these media people are flogs

Trash? Lol

Must be a NM BF cope mechanism as he was pretty bloody consistent all season, he just converted much better in the latter half of the year.

I mean, there's bullshit then there is BF type bullshit where all good players are instantly shit if they played for us - just because.
