BlueWorld said:I reckon a lot of our players would look a lot betetr in a good side like the Crows. How would Massie be going if he were still at Carlton? Probably not quite as well.
Abaddon said:Massie is a massive dud.
as big a dud as Luke Livingston.
I'm glad someone reminded me that Wayne Brittain couldn't tell talented footballers from potatoes if his life depended on it.blues76 said:i know its all hindsight, but massie was the one kid i picked whilst watching our ressies that i knew would be good...to lose him and nelson (who?) for 2 absolute DUDS eccles and gallagher...gee wizzzz....

Scan the AFC board pre-Mayy and most of us were calling for Massie to go as well. It has only been injury that has kept him in the side and all credit to him he has taken it 2 handed...but fair to say he was heading out the door, if not for his opportunityMentallo said:In 2004 i was in Adelaide for the Blues vs Power game and on the Saturday went and watched Norwood vs The Eagles with my mates and let me tell you Massie was playing for Norwood and struggling big time, i was suprised he wasn't cut that year but i don't know what his contract details were..
No he wouldn't it and it isn't hard to get a lot of the ball and look good in a high possession side like the Crows. Russell, Simpson and Walker are better talents than Kris who is a good ordinary player and Massie turned the ball over everytime I saw him kick it last week.Massie would be in Carlton's top 5 best players if he was still there.

No loss in the scheme of things and Gibbs would be a better addition to any side bar the Crows.
DIG said:The worst thing is, in our shrewd drafting, we got Massie with pick 7 ahead of:
8 Tarrant and
9 Chad Cornes
Not to mention the later finds in that draft - Solomon, Nick Stevens, Simon Black, Goodes. I remember at the time we "couldn't believe he slipped through" and said he "Is a Paul Roos type defender". Crap.
Makes me sick how much we've stuffed up any early draft picks we had through the '90s then early '00s.

A little bit petty, but he had a ripper season with us in either 2002 or 2003. He's re-finding that form this year. Doesn't prove your point wrong, just a certain fact in your point.DIG said:Some of you guys have gotta be kidding yourselves. We drafted Massie in 1997. For 8 years he's done absolutely nothing for Blues and then Crows then finally he's playing ok in his 9th season and he's suddenly a "gun". Pffft.
He would not be in Carlton's top five and the players blueheart mentioned are better players than Kris. It's easier to play well when you're a fringe player in a top side than a struggling one and he's no gun.Sanguinarius said:you have to be kidding? Massie has regularly been in the crows players this year - so on current form he would easily be in carltons top 5.
Any consistent player in the crows line up > any consistent player in the blues. It has been the "fill in's" that have gotten adelaide where they are this year. Massie has been a star.
