Sando's "A Grade" midfield watch

Are you really using totals instead of average per game when Wingard played 4 more games in 2014 compared to Dangerfield?
Saw this. Had to laugh.

This guy reminds me of port_adelaide_1870

Oh **** me.

Danger is a top 5 player in the comp, and will be for a long time yet. To say that Wingard is at his level is a joke. Even to say Boak is at his level is a joke.
Sloane is a pretty damn good sidekick, being someone who is getting better by the year, whether as Boak is the only true good mid in PAP's lot. Hartlett is nowhere near the level of Sloane.
Jacobs<Lobbe? Pls. Jacobs was close to AA in 2012. Lobbe has had one good half a season and that's it. The PAP flogs are suggesting he's going to have a godlike 2014 based on what I've seen.
Crouch easily over Wines. Crouch played 14 games and came 2nd in the Rising Star. Wines had a few great games at the start of the year, but was barely talked about afterwards.
Scott Thompson is still a jet. To say he's past it is a outright lie. He still averaged 97 SC points last year! Ebert has hit his prime, and isn't really a worldbeater like Thommo can be.
Douglas just keeps getting better, and was almost B&F competing a. Cornes keeps getting worse with age, and although he is still good, he isn't near the standard of Pizza Boy.
Wright has shown that he will be a very good clearance player so far in the NABz. He destroyed you flogs, didn't he? Way better than Broadbent, who's pretty much your run-of-the-mill ordinary mid.
Grigg has shown bucketloads of promise in his couple of years that he's been here, especially towards the end of last year. Polec is good, but surely he would have shown something by now?
Wingard's more of a forward/mid really, so we can't really put him in this discussion.
VB = Moore. Both are okay.

Please stop trying PAP, you're making my sides hurt.

Thompson averaged 97 super coach points, wowee!!!
 
Oh **** me.

incoherent rant

It's always sad to hear from a Bigfootyite who has had an eye extracted ... the right eye to boot.

Never mind Danger in Texas, one day you may start to see the footy properly again, you just gotta work at that left eye.
 
Of course you guys would say this shit. You're Port supporters. Of course you think Port somehow reigns supreme over the true South Australian team.

Interesting to see that no-one has actually given evidence as to why I'm somehow wrong, though...

It's because your post doesn't deserve a reply, all it deserves is contempt.
 
Oh DiT. I thought you were better than this. :oops:

Of course you guys would say this shit. You're Port supporters.

This is true, our views are clouded. You, contrastingly, are completely unbiased in any comparison between Port and the Crows and therefore your opinion is completely trustworthy.

I honestly think that providing no evidence at all is less embarrassing than 'Wright is better than Broadbent because he had a good game against the Port Magpies in the NAB Cup'.

Just me at my absolute finest, which certainly isn't a shoddy standard. :)
This is true, our views are clouded. You, contrastingly, are completely unbiased in any comparison between Port and the Crows and therefore your opinion is completely trustworthy.
The thing is, if you ask any other supporter in the league about what we're comparing, most would say Adelaide's is better.

If you think that, think again. He had another good game against Carlton. Checkmate.

I decided that rather than relying on the wealth of knowledge that is Bigfooty popular opinion, I'd check the objective head to head records between the two clubs and their comparative ladder position instead. Both said that Port were better. Soz :rainbow:

If you think that, think again. He had another good game against Carlton. Checkmate.

Well, that settles that then. Matthew Wright will turn into an elite clearance machine right after Brisbane follow up their NAB Cup trophy by winning the 2013 premiership.

Wrights best is better than Broadbents best im sorry to say. But on current AFL regular season form Broadbent is infront.

Nice to hear that you are clinging onto the past. If you're going by that, I'll check who has more AFL premierships. Oh sorry, that's us. :)

Carlton's side was close to best 22, so your argument is invalid.

Where should we start? Where you contradict yourself?

Oops :oops:

Jacobs<Lobbe? Pls. Jacobs was close to AA in 2012. Lobbe has had one good half a season and that's it. The PAP flogs are suggesting he's going to have a godlike 2014 based on what I've seen.

You're right, Lobbe could go downhill like Jacobs did last year...... I guess it's lucky we're looking at recent form where Jacobs was average and Lobbe was great and constantly improving. I see the Crows ruck got beaten by Carltons the other night, maybe you poached the wrong ruckman ;)

Crouch easily over Wines. Crouch played 14 games and came 2nd in the Rising Star. Wines had a few great games at the start of the year, but was barely talked about afterwards.

Except the 16 touch final quarter in round 14, and when he stood up and kicked two crucial goals in the Collingwood final....... then again you can't expect massive numbers for a kid playing 60-70% game time. Crouch was at 80-90% thanks to an extra year of conditioning. Another interesting fact is that Wines has never backed out of a contest at AFL level :oops:

Scott Thompson is still a jet. To say he's past it is a outright lie. He still averaged 97 SC points last year! Ebert has hit his prime, and isn't really a worldbeater like Thommo can be.

A jet that can't take off :rolleyes: His 2013 was ordinary by his standards, if he can't get his body right (tough at his age) he'll do even less than before.

Douglas just keeps getting better, and was almost B&F competing a. Cornes keeps getting worse with age, and although he is still good, he isn't near the standard of Pizza Boy.

He keeps getting better because he keeps dropping off. He had a good year a few years ago and another last year, so I guess he's due to drop off for another couple of years.

Wright has shown that he will be a very good clearance player so far in the NABz. He destroyed you flogs, didn't he? Way better than Broadbent, who's pretty much your run-of-the-mill ordinary mid.

Yes, Wright's "destructive" performace really had a massive impact on the results against us :thumbsu: Broadbent had similar numbers, while spending the last half of the year in a "quarterback" type role.

Grigg has shown bucketloads of promise in his couple of years that he's been here, especially towards the end of last year. Polec is good, but surely he would have shown something by now?

I know the Crows board love fapping over this guy, but he's played 5 games while sitting behind the likes of Jaensch, Mackay, and Petrenko. Polec showed brief flashes at Brisbane but weren't capable of keeping him on the park, all of his pre-season hitouts have been massive. Bringing him into this is pointless as he hasn't even had an official game with us, although given how hard your mob chased him surely he's shown something.

VB = Moore. Both are okay.

I guess the positive is that VB is 27 and has never shown anything other than the ability to run a long way while picking up the glorious title of being one of the worst taggers in the league. Moore is 22 and spent a lot of his first two years on the injury list and has been steadily improving since then.

Thanks for your opinion Slops
 
Nice to hear that you are clinging onto the past. If you're going by that, I'll check who has more AFL premierships. Oh sorry, that's us. :)

Carlton's side was close to best 22, so your argument is invalid.
Who was missing from Carlton's best 22 - Judd, Walker, Henderson, Tuohy, Warnock and a few others

So NAB cup form is more important than how a player performed last year? Now I have heard it all.
 
Nice to hear that you are clinging onto the past.

Ignoring the irony of the guy begging us to believe that Thompson and Jacobs are still guns because they were good in 2012 despite both of them not even being able to run out a game last year ...

If by 'the past' you mean 'the most recent AFL season', then yes, I'm 'clinging' on to that. You think it makes more sense to cling on to a couple of good games in the NAB Cup? By that logic Polec is a better player than Dangerfield. Tell you what, I'll concede that Wright is better than Broadbent right after you concede that Polec is well ahead of Dangerfield. Deal? :oops:

I am confused though. Crows supporters are constantly telling us that Walker > Schulz, Lynch > Westhoff, Jenkins > Butcher, Betts > Monfries, Rutten > Carlile, Talia > Trengove, Otten > Jonas etc. And according to your good self, your midfield is clearly better too. So given that you're obviously superior to us all over the park, how is it that we beat you twice last year and finished 6 spots ahead of you on the ladder?

Danger in Texas said:

Yep. Apart from a two time Brownlow medallist, their best half back, their best back pocket, their best key forward, their best tap ruckman and their best tagger, Carlton were at 100% strength :thumbsu:

And people saying Danger > Wingard

Average 21 Disposals + 43 Goals > 23 disposals + 31 goals.

FACTS
Chad 39th in the league for Goal assist. Danger not even in top 80.
Chad 45th in the league for Disposals. Danger is 66th
Chad 67th in the league for effective disposals. Dangerfield not even in top 100.
Chad 9th in the league for inside 50s. Dangerfield is 12th.
Dangerfield is 24th in the league for Clanger. Chad is 34th
Chad is 27th for Marks Inside 50. Dangerfield is 55th
Dafuq? do the averages instead of the totals. Wingard played 4 more games than Danger.
