Re: Mininera and District FL Part 2
"at least he is not running around other clubs looking for $$$$$ on the back of it!!!" - Bloods, how can you say that about a bloke when your club has just done exactly that with a bunch of reserves footballers from Hamilton Imperials????
If someone wants to voice an opinion about someones playing ability then so be it- that is what these forums are for. You were slaggin off Zedi for doing that- yet you did exactly the same about him. So get of your high horse and stop taking the moral high ground like you are some expert.
I think Brad White is a dud and that your club is nuts paying him to play for you, but you think he's alright. These forums are discussion boards and if everyone got on here agreeing with each other then they wouldn't be very interesting nw would they.
Put your thoughts, opinions, predictions and views across like everybody else does on here, but don't get on and post blogs pumping up your own tyres about how many premierships you played in, how much you love the league and the fact you "work" for the local paper.
Writing crap when your involved with a club, league or local paper can also make you look silly???
This 'Doogs' argument is pissing me off big time, so much so that some stats need to be exposed so that his VALUE to the Hawks win last season can be seen!
First of all he missed seven (7) games last season and finished with 70 goals from the other 15 games (4.66 ave) he played.
He played his first game against the Rams in Rd 5 kicking 5 goals. He did not play in Rd 7 and missed Rds 14 & 15 with a hand injury.
As for kicking goals against two terrible teams, (Woor-Mort & WLB), he only played against them once each for 12 goals combined. (leaving his aver @ 4.46 for all others)
As for being the primary goal-kicker, well he did have Hitchcock playing alongside him for some games, so it was at least two-pronged, plus when the likes of Andy Tucker, Tim McDougall, Tony Campbell and later on Chris Milne are all kicking bags, plus their mid-fielders who all kick plenty, it was not as if the game plan revolved around him and he couldn't help but kick goals. Far from it. They shared that duty which goes with most good TEAMS.
Tatyoon did not dominate like the previous two seasons, losing 3 games and having three wins under ten points. In fact his effort of 5 goals from nine in the wet against Caramut in Rd 9 in a four point win was a major reason they stayed in contention for the double chance when INJURY was hitting them hardest. The next round they had some 22 players unavailable for both teams, so it was not plain sailing all year for the Hawks.
He kicked 16 goals during the finals, including 8 Prelim goals and 3 in the GF.
In summary 'Doogs' is not your stereo-typed player (agile, fit etc), not a quick leading forward and is no STAR (no one said that), but his efforts were pivotal in the Tatyoon premeirship win.
He is a strong mark, one out and his goal converting is very good.
What would you blokes who are doubting him be saying if he played those seven games he missed. Two against W-M & WLB, plus five others probably sees the big 'doogs' finish with over 100 goals in a Premiership season. Not too bad an out-put and no doubt would be loved by nine other clubs around the league.
Two final pieces, the bit about the standard dropping is pretty well-known around country footy, so if that helps 'doogs', you are in fact slagging off at every player running around. Get off your horse and respect players for what they do, no matter where they do it, and if it is with their home club, good on 'em........at least he is not running around other clubs looking for $$$$$ on the back of it!!!
Secondly barking from afar without knowing all the facts can make you look silly!
