John Anthony

[Mental Magpie]

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

You have got to be joking!

I ****ing cried, and it wasn't me who kicked it!

He has cemented my respect towards him for eternity! Crying for the Black & White jumper! It just shows what that goal meant to him & Collingwood!

GO PIES!

I still can't get over the complete stupidity of Rutten. Why would you even think about grabbing an arm at that point of the game when it's a point the difference.

Absolutely as dumb as you get. He has to cop some real stick. There was no need to do it.

Great kicks under pressure by Anthony, Brown and Tippett.

he probably thought it was going to be a mark.

if you're opponents about to mark inside 50 in the last seconds of the match then you infringe and hope to get away with it

the funny thing is i honestly think that might have been the first set shot leigh brown nailed all year.

Was watching with a Pies fan and when Spud Brown marked he could not look.... I said you know he will kick this one and enough right through the middle... you just knew he would.

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

I think they are on special at Aldi this week. I think you might have a bunch already though.

 

[conodie05]

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

Finally, someone gets it. Ever wonder why he has never fronted the media? Or why he has found it so difficult to fit in?

The bloke is an inspiration to anyone struggling thru life with a learning difficulty.

I'm not speaking from expereince though let me just clear that up. Not that it would be an issue anyway.

[Chief Ten Beers]

I don't get why people don't like him, one of my favorites from another team.

Black and White stripes my friend. Can't explain it either to be honest.

 

[Vampire013]

I wonder if the Collingwood supporters defending Anthony for crying are the same ones bagging Ablett for crying after the 08 GF.

John Anthony's tears were tears of joy.
Ablett only cries when he loses.
but...............
To be fair, nothing wrong with wanting to win.

At least we have a game not to enjoy

So you'd be happy with your full forward having 4 touches for the game and scoring 1 goal (off a free kick) every week. The fact is that your FF doing that you won't get to be within match winning territory.

It was a good goal but doesn't change the fact he was probably in the bottom 5 players of the night.

No not every week, but tonight he gets a pass.

He is 1 - 2 goal forward, as long as he provides a contest the goals will come, and if we are in a position to have a kick after the siren to win a match, I would prefer the ball being in his hands than any one else.

 

[poulsman]

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

good post.

Got to love those Carlton Supporters, Collingwood failures become a smokescreen for their seasons.

I don't get what people are referring to, if he has some sort of impairment, then fair enough, but has this been made obvious in the general, serious media before(not footyshow stunts)?

because every time I see him speak in an interview, he sounds mature, intelligent, well spoken, better than the majority of players that speak in the media, which makes me think why he doesn't do it more often.


Yeah, so is there any video that shows this difficulty, I am interested to see this.

I think its more to do with his personality than anything else. He seems quite introverted and probably keeps a lot of thoughts and emotions to himself, and it all sort of came flooding out after the game IMO.

I remember someone mentioned his upbringing as while back, can't remember what it was exactly but I think he grew up the only son in the family with a few sisters, so he found it harder to connect with boys or something along the lines of that...

 

[J_Moore]

Johnny Wilkinson board.

Good on him, though. need a few different personality types in the game. I'd hate to imagine it if everyone was Jimmy Bartel. Not that there's anything wrong with the guy. But, y'know, he's a tad beige.

fair enough, although it sounds like people are also saying he ain't good on camera, but like I said, Ive seen a few interviews, and he is very well spoken.

Heh, I don't know why, but whenever I see him off the field, like on the Footyshow for example, don't know why, but I always think he wouldn't be out of place in a Harry potter movie.....

 

[bfsx]

He kicked a pressure goal... and then cried about it. There would've been more tears if he missed completely.

 

[GolDSack]

it wasnt the fact he cried but the way he cried i was waiting for him to put his thumb in his mouth, what a blubbering sooky la la.
also whats with his extra large forehead? you could project a film on it..

ur obviously feeling a little insecure about urself that u have to provide such a low comment, are u model material? U LOSER,

GO PIES!!!

WELL DONE JACK

 

[scruffydog]

Let's not forget what he apparently did at Licuria's wedding...

But I wouldn't have him any other way

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

I have only ever heard anyone bag Ablett for crying at the Brownlow.

I wouldn't be surprised if they bagged him for crying over the brownlow though, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone bagged him for that. Each to their own though.

Amazing, considering he never cried at or about the Brownlow.

What did he do?

 

[Hollow Knight]

What did he do?

From what I heard, he wasn't invited.

Halfway through the ceremony, Jack enters the church in jogging gear, runs up the aisle and shakes Licuria's hand, then runs back out again.

Don't know how accurate my version of the story is.

 

[The Big League]

haha yeah, i've heard that as well.

That is too weird to be made up. Awesome. Its that head. It tells him to do strange things.
