Classic Bigfooty

Raise a player, evidence why he'd even be an upgrade on some players lauded.

Get the "Nah, SHIT". OK, that settles it then

Quality debate right there. I feel sorry for Blair & Dan having to defend trades made (or not) to the mindless.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Come on campaigners!!
Relax.

Stats don't lie. Being a sheep just reveals your lack of knowledge.

I've put up my bases for supporting him. Every response has gone no further than "He's SHIT" (oooh, caps - must be true)

Would be an upgrade of Lambert. Wouldn't be against it if we could get him relatively cheap.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Get over your stats! If you can't see that staton is finished u need your eyes checked mate!

Still waiting for a single, objectively measurable, basis upon which you justify your moronic stance.

I won't hold my breath.

You may have not seen I didnt realise he was 29 and retracted this post.

How about you think before you post ay

Ay sorry ay

What's Gibbs' contract status?

Nah he's SHIT! Rhymes with Squibbs!!!

Am I doing it right?

He's contracted for multiple years, I believe

Must have missed it. Who is Stanton apparently replacing? Genuine Question

Stanton is a plodder, if you can't see that without looking at stats then I feel sorry for you

Stanton is too old anyway

 

[MJ_23]

You must really HATE Brandon Ellis, then

View attachment 183203

Sorry mate couldn't see where you compared the total number of games played between the two...what is it?

 

[This Is Anfield]

Stanton is your typical whipping boy, does a lot of things well, gets a bit of the ball, runs hard offensively and defensively but is not a stand out at anything.
Good AFL footballer, not sure if I want him at Richmond but he is far from SHIT!!!!!!

 

[Nightblade]

Didn't you want Sam Gilbert?...

The funny thing is, stats do lie

Don't question my knowledge, thanks

I'm not going to give you stats... He is slow in both decision making and leg speed. His kicking skills and decision making is below average. He can't take a contested mark. Tbh I'm struggling to find any positives with Stanton! Why do
You think essendon would get rid off him??

 

[UpTheGuts]

Must have missed it. Who is Stanton apparently replacing? Genuine Question

Well, he's had a better year than Ellis, Newman, Grigg, Lambert, Edwards, Houli, Hunt, Conca...

I'm not saying he's the answer. I'm saying he'd make us better.

He is Moneyball

Still waiting....

When are we trading Ellis then?

 

[Varicho]

He's headed to La Boca Vista.

Don't bother..... He will give u stats. He must b related to the bloke

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Hi. I is in fact an analyst and a therapist. how do you like that?

Sent from my brain using ESP.

 

[DontArgue4]

Still waiting....

So you're telling me you would trade ellis for stanton?

 

[Nightblade]

What if we do a straight swap of Griffiths for Yarran?

Then combine our 2nd pick with Astbury for Redden

Keep our 1st pick for the draft

 

[Nostradumbass]

So you're telling me you would trade ellis for stanton?

He's saying they're very similar I assume.

Now, now, we all know that stats don't lie when they support your position and stats do lie when they don't support your position.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Take a look at the experience of the prelim sides. Now well above ours post Newman, Foley, Knights retirements

Blair worships that games played stat. With reason. Junior teams don't make it.

We need to add experience, not only talent. Inconvenient truths
