How good is it to watch a King lead into space and mark goal.

Just what you want to see in a coleman medal leader

When did you see Max do that ?

Are you having Max wet dreams again ?

Watching the Carlton Vs Suns game...

All I can hope is Max is watching his brother play.

Jeez mate can you give it a spell? For one thing it has nothing to do with this thread, post it in the general AFL thread but also your incessant bagging of certain players is just so tiresome.

We get it, you don't like Max. We get it because you've posted it probably 100 times. Cool, you're watching his brother play and take that as an opportunity to come here and pot Max AGAIN. Because Max has never kicked a goal in his life.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I hope Harveys watching the game and Max is out playing golf.

Be nice to have the Suns midfield though ......

Geez you're bit sooky mate, toughen up!

Wouldn't it

 

[beside the seaside]

Geez you're bit sooky mate, toughen up!

Haha yeah mate, I need to toughen up more just like Max. I'll take a leaf out of your book I guess, very tough. Proper tough stuff

 

[sammm]

I get the feeling Collard has a better attitude and works harder than a few here think and is liked by the coaches.

Absolutely agree his game on the weekend didn't appear to warrant another this week.

I am not of the belief that you drop a young player after 1-2games .
Give them time in the big league

 

[littlecreatures]

Predictable

That's the spirit princess!

I think any player with the right attitude is a big chance to get a game in our forward line at the moment.

 

[BrutThough]

I hope Harveys watching the game and Max is out playing golf.

Given his history, I'd be keeping Max away from the golf course.

Gun Saint to miss round one after freak golf injury

Max King has been ruled out of round one with concussion

get a game with us right now?

I know it's just an annoying question.

To be honest I was frustrated by Long at the Saints., but here he is!

I'm telling myself,

Yes, given our dire situation he might get a game with the Saints tomorrow, but he's not as good as Higgo, and maybe better than Butler right now, but no where near as good as Butler prior to latest injury and with Garcia and co in the works, its a 'no worries' situation.

is a Pacman and Ben is a leader. (Lockett vs Dunstall) We already know that, so no point in pretending we don't. Although it is a fair question to ask, could he become a leading type of forward?

left because he wanted to play down back which is where he stared for the Suns initially. Now he’s forward again

 

[Brian Oblivion]

Ben Long left because he wanted to play down back which is where he stared for the Suns initially. Now he’s forward again

Nah - they gave him a 4 x $500K contract that offered him security and we weren't going near that offer.

 

[Banger9798]

The club is seeing something in Collard that I am yet to that's for sure

I think they are seeing a top 3 draft pick next year

 

[BrutThough]

Nah - they gave him a 4 x $500K contract that offered him security and we weren't going near that offer.

Was a bit of both. I remember an interview at the time with him talking about GC playing him in his true position as half back.

But either way, he would be depth for us so good on him for getting the security of 4 years.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

When we start winning clearances max will be able to lead more

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

As King and Cornes said this morning, who is “the guy”?
Port have a couple. Sydney have a couple.
Dees have a couple.
Pies have got one. So do most of the other teams. Hell, Eagles have a first year player as their “guy.”.
Who is ours?

Migchtio owned

 

[Ads734]

Geez you're bit sooky mate, toughen up!

You literally just criticise. You find your targets and don’t stop.

 

[Cairnsman]

You literally just criticise. You find your targets and don’t stop.

That's a fascinating observation, I was hoping I'd blend in these past few weeks but I will admit its been difficult to not get noticed while posters are only coming here to use their one free annual critiquing post and then quietly and politely leaving.

Such a respectful board like that huh.

 

[stfan]

Ben Long left because he wanted to play down back which is where he stared for the Suns initially. Now he’s forward again

No, according to his mate he left because under Ratten he had no idea what his role was.

 

[Brian Oblivion]

No, according to his mate he left because under Ratten he had no idea what his role was.

His last game off HBF vs the Swans was just something else. Him and Hannas (last game) our two best players.
Hahaha. Have I got this right or are the mushies coming on now ?

 

[Premium]

Nah - they gave him a 4 x $500K contract that offered him security and we weren't going near that offer.

We gave him enough time (seasons) to find a position he could play , but he was average back or forward - one or 2 good games don't cut it
He is not the only one that was average who has left - Billings , Dunstan , Newnes are all fine examples
