Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

Just like Glenn McGrath when he was given out

Not as bad as Steve Smith.

Even Kane Cornes is calling that flog out now.

Doesn't count if Kane does it, need someone respected

Everyone else would be heading up the race and he'd still be standing there on the pitch, teapot pose!

I miss Bassett absolutely flipping his lid everytime a free got called against him.

We got Keane now to fill that hole

 

[Redline]

I just heard Ox on SEN say "Bassett's a Demon..I played a bit with him"
Thought I'd misheard but nup (I had no idea) he was overlooked by Port in 97 and drafted to The Dees (but never played an AFL game)
Every days a school day hey!

Was really good junior and a surprise he didn't go earlier. From memory he was struggling with his diabetes at the time. Then we traded Brent Williams and Mathew Collins for him.

Fortunately for Mark, the umpires don't understand him and won't call it dissent.

Surely we’ve had the same conversation with B.Smith…..

By the sounds of that article, I rekon clurey posts in the “sack Ken” thread

I think Smith is fine to be a leadership presence in the twos.

 

[George Kramer]

I think Smith is fine to be a leadership presence in the twos.

So you’re ok sacrificing a list spot in a strong draft for “leadership” presence in the twos? Why am I shocked.

I saw Clurey playing against Norwood and you could clearly see he was struggling playing at that level in a shit team, felt sorry for him.

He’d be equally ok if Smith was delisted and we took an extra player in the draft.

The thing is how does he think sharing his opinion actually means anything when he’s just parroting the clubs position? Doesn’t he realise that he can’t actually legitimately argue his point?

I don't get it. I've posted before that there's lots of decisions that the club makes that the TOOLS & TROLLS, negative Nancies, bedwetters etc etc agree with, it's just that they're not discussion points because they're self evident, the kinds of decisions nobody could get wrong and we all agree with. The forum fills with discussion around the decisions that are, at least to some extent, arguable. Surely among these arguable decisions, you'd fall on the opposite side of the direction the club went every now and again. We did see it with old K over the Rankine trade in the main board thread and the end result was he cancelled the account to avoid having gone on record as calling the LM team incompetent.

I reckon he would've stayed at the club and been the marquee if we'd have delisted him too.

That's probably the worst bit

Murphy reckons an envelope of photos helps with any "discussions"

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Oscar McDonald
Tom Campbell
Sean Lemmens
Zaine Cordy
Joel Hamling

We were linked to Lemmens last year.

I don't think I've been happier for a trade rumour to be squashed than that one.

 

[Mostyn]

Why are we assuming this wasn't discussed with him, or explored by the club?

Will the players association allow you to ignore a contracted trigger, if the player doesn't retire?

Why do we always assume absolute incompetence?

I've said constantly that retaining Smith on the list was the only down side to the off season from my perspective - literally a dozen times.

But if he's here, then I think him offering leadership in the twos is fine. That is an area where he can contribute, as he has clear ambitions to coach.

 

[George Kramer]

Hi George.

Firstly - f*** off. I'm completely disinterested with you stalking me in here and commenting constantly. I have no interest in being one of the posters you get obsessed with. Please block me.

Anyway, so you agree he shouldn’t be on the list but post today saying you’re ok him being on the list playing SANFL and offering leadership, interesting.

And I don’t stalk anyone, if posters feel I do it’s because they either post something I disagree with or it’s just cheerleading posting that I again disagree with that I respond to. If you fall into that category what you’re basically saying is you want to cheer without your opinion being challenged. Fair enough, but will you stop quoting posters you disagree with?

New Zealand smashing India again in the Test match in India.... Wowee.

In India too!

What the heck is going on with the Indian batsmen? Sharma & Kohli doing buggar all.

I reckon they had their minds on the underperformed Aussie bats rather than their own series

I assume Rahul is injured?
