Gee thats a great comeback !!!!!!!! Nothing foolish about that post friend just stating the obvious about one of the most uninspiring players ever to pull on a gurnsey,then again St Kildas history has been littered by that type of player havent they ? Probably explains their pathetic lack of success.No wonder Lockett and Hall got out and went to a club who do have character!!!!!! I can still see that pitiful fool breaking his heart like a 5 year old on the bench in Brisbane.Do you think he will ever be able to take physical punishment to his body which this game demands like say for instance an inspirational leader like Brett Kirk ????????? Or will he continue to be the most looked after player in the AFL and continue with his childlike waterworks displays ? Suppose some people would see him as a S N A G. Im thinking more along the lines of something that rhymes with S N A G !!!!! :eek:

Yet another gimp jumping on the 'Bowden is soft' bandwagon. Just because he gets a lot of easy kicks (what defenders who are good users of the ball don't?) doesn't mean he doesn't constantly back into packs, take on blokes much bigger than him (and beat them - he's towelled up J Brown more than once), play injured and put his fractured-the-week-before jaw over the pill.
But never mind the opinions of the likes of AA selectors such as Gerard Healy, or his peers, who obviously made him players' association president because he represents the squib in all of them.
Na, keyboard jockeys like u say he's soft, so he must be.

Beau Waters - He eats goldfish for breakfast
Quiten Lynch - He ended a career.
Darren Glass - There are plans afoot to build WAs new stadium exclusively on Dazzas right shoulder. There should be enough room for a massive carpark too
Matt Priddis - The tackling enigma. He tackles players like I tackle drunk bitches. Very well
Michael Braun - If anyone sees the pain he is in at the end of a game you would understand why. Hard as nails

because he has red hair?

If either of the Carr's, in particular Josh, could try and coax another punch out of NLM, then they would. Often, a big part of their job is to unsettle players and take their mind off of the game. No one in the competition is scared of the skinny prick.

Was 4. Still doesn't mean Grover isn't tough, which is the point of the thread, is it not?

Haha, it was more than 4, I remember watching that game. :eek:

You're right, it has nothing to do with being tough, but you did bring it up in the first place. :)

It was his first 4 for the game. You brought it up. Why would I bring up Gehrig kicking 8 goals in game on us? I simply said that he plays on the Gehrig types, then you added your bit, which I do actually appreciate, though was off point.

Well, it depends on what you're own personal defintion of "tough" actually is. Given the mercenary types that your mob have recruited in the last few years (and let's fact it, Freo have become the AFL equivalent of the French Foreign Legion for those players with certain socially-oriented pathologies - a kind of retirement village for those whose need for achievement has been superceded by some odd need for retribution, or may have simply had the game pass them by), then maybe you lean toward the hostile, sniping types whose personal brand of "toughness" could also be construed as uncontrolled aggression and/or anger mis-management in many other people's definitions.

Or, like myself, you can include within your personal definition of toughness the capacity to string together a 100+ senior games in succession, playing with and through fractures and other injuries that would keep many other players of less "toughness" in the grandstand. The physical and mental ability to stand in the hole in the backline week after week, copping whacks to the back of the head and have the knees of 100kg players to the small of their back, and pick yourself up and get to the next contest. Those who can run off their less-fit opponent who does not have the stamina, capacity or heart to add a defensive aspect to their attacking role, and then get back to their opponent in time for the next contest when the ball is inevitably turned over up the field by lesser-skilled teammates. All whilst playing within the rules of the game and without the need to answer to the tribunal.

I took a few liberties, dbt. I realise that Freo have at least as many, if not probably more "tough" blokes than we currently have at Tigerland. But when people start questioning AFL players who front up week after week, injury or otherwise, take on roles that teammates simply aren't up to, and still cop it from opposition supporters becuase they don't fit the "Diesel" or "Libba" mould of in-and-under, it feckin gets my sheckles up.

Good luck for the season.
