John Anthony

[Sportman1987]

I don't get why people don't like him, one of my favorites from another team. Funny shaped head on him, but can't deny his ability. And I haven't seen the arrogance others talk about, he seems to just go about his business.

And who gives a **** if he cried, really. Just shows he loves his footy

Probably crying because 18 months ago he was potentially never going to play again after a serious neck injury, now he has kicked 50 goals in 2009 and the winner at the G in a Semi Final.

Great kick from Anthony, done under intense pressure

Kind of sad that posters feel the need to bag a player after kicking such an awesome goal

 

[dwiller]

great kick not sure about the crying tho seems a bit of a pussy now if hes that emotional

I think too many of the BigFooty members posting in this thread don't know what passion is when they see it, instead confusing it with 'being a wimp'.

 

[Hodgepodge]

I think he was crying 'cause he realised he has to play on Scarlett next week.

Just like Scarlett to take the worst forward.

 

[The Swert]

Let's not forget about Leigh Brown's goal. It was under just as much pressure, game on the line etc. But of course Leigh Brown will remain a spud not a hero.

Very good goal from him under pressure. Always a good sign in a player but what the hell was he doing after the match? Crying?

And why is crying bad ? I've seen players from all teams including Sydney's getting emotional. Jack had a career threatening injury two years ago and has his own reasons for breaking down. He's just a kid FFS !

 

[Dangas]

Well done Pies

All you douches saying "wtf was he crying for"
You have never, and will NEVER understand how much player give in terms of dedication, training ect... every day of theirs lives, for a GAME, YES ITS A GAME.
So the tears were clearly a player who just finished 2 hours of draining effort and it was just a major relief, a happiness, that the team he gives everything for got over the line.

Yes I know we probably won't beat Geelong next week, but some of you people are serious ***** (insert word similar to ******s or something) and you would be those parents at their sons footy match screaming at oppositions and umpires, WHEN IT'S A GAME, YES A GAME.

So please, have nothing nice or intelligent to say, don't say it, coz you make yourself look like a fool.

Don't act all wise. I forgot he had his serious injury, so I can understand him being emotional. If the above is true why doesn't every player cry after the match? The reason people are talking about it, is because it's rare so don't make comments like he is acting normally.
Have you played at the highest level before?

I think there are different contexts surrounding Jack compared to other players. I mean, he's young and just won a finals game in his second proper season off his own foot. Don't see why you would think it's strange to see him showing some emotion?

 

[Invigoration]

Don't cry if you fall off that bandwagon you recently mounted

Only because he came back from a serious injury. If Adelaide had won, I doubt Tippett would have cried. I'm not having a go at Anthony, I can understand his emotions now, so I take back my initial comment.

 

[scruffydog]

**** me, this board if full of testosterone pumping w***er males. Jack was crying out of pure happyiness for what he did; winning the game off his boot. This is something any footballer dreams of, and he is obvously very happy for it. It's nice to see some passion for once, instead of the usual boring expressions from players after they win.

This. He's not a pansy on the field, I don't care if he has emotion and shows them as long as he gets the job done!

 

[Zahki]

Also, I'm sure he's incredibly happy that he stood up and kicked a pressure goal when it counted after he had a pretty poor game until that point.

Yeah. I think it was mentioned that Mick took him aside at half time and told him to get out there and actually do something. Had a fairly poor game, but getting that goal saved his arse, I'm sure he was pretty relieved he managed to contribute at the end.

 

[Jonno_]

lol what a silly comment when talking about goals kicked.

So you would rather him kick 10 goals a year if they were all fantastic than if he kicked 100 in a year.

Idiot.

Haha I was thinking that too

 

[__aria__]

this guy is probably my favourite non north player

you can tell there is something not quite right going on in his head and its awesome


hopefully he does something for the footy show final again

 

[Johnson#26]

may as well have lost tonight cause you wont be enjoying any part of next weeks game.

Typical Carlton attitude to everything. Winners make it happen. And happen it did. Jack, and Leroy, stood up when it counted. Thank you so much Jack and Leroy.

Ah well. We're having our fun, and lapping it up.

lol, as bad as that sounds you're most likely correct.

Anthony and Leroy>Judd, Murphy and Gibbs.

They actually delivered when it mattered.

thats the first time i've seen the replay. at the time i thought the free was soft but the replay shows it was clearly there. rutten had both of his arms locked around anthony's right arm as anthony was making his leap

 

[Dizzy Stuff]

Well done Jack I don't really understand the hate against him .. solid player.

 

[Elite]

I know Buddy misses alot but..

[youtube link of buddy kicking winning goal]

Ouch, did you have to post that.

Lost in basically the same way...........ouch, ouch, ouch.

And then eliminated by the pies again last year at aami.

man they would be pissed!

 

[Big Nasty]

Just like Scarlett to take the worst forward.

Well Anthony's a Full Forward, and Scarlett's a Full Back....Go figure.

Anyway, good goal from Jack.
