Tyrone 'Potato Curator' Vickery Watch 2013

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

If you're out there on the field, then you must perform. Richmond obviously thought he was fit enough to play or he wouldn't have been getting games... unless they're inept. Jimmy Bartel played an entire season with a broken foot, do you think he'd use it an excuse for an average year? Lenny Hayes plays an entire season with a dinky heart, he sure as hell wouldn't use it as an excuse for an average year (if he ever had one). Man up Ty.

I guess Essendon supporters are now allowed to make excuses for Hurley for the rest of his career seeing as how he'll have to play with a scaphoid injury that will never heal? And if you troll Hurley about an average season then you are trolling an injury.

Last time I checked Ty wasn't posting replies to your thread:oops:
 
I don't think players make 'excuses' themselves you twit. I'm pretty sure Geelong/St Kilda supporters would have said something along the lines of "Shit, imagine how good he would have been had he not of had ____"

To your second point, does that make Hurley a so called 'Potato Curator' for the rest of his career? :p
That's right - you're making excuses for him. I'm sure even Ty will tell you that if he's out there on the field, he has to perform; no excuses. I understand you want to rationalise Vickery's disgustingly bad season (when he played) in any way possible, but using injuries is a poor excuse. He put up John Anthony numbers last year, injury or no injury... well, actually, Anthony averaged more marks.

Because he did not have a dodgy shoulder. OOOPS I mentioned shoulder again. :eek:

So the next time a Richmond player is injured, I'm not really allowed to say a thing am I?

Nice logic.

How can a player go from being pretty impressive in 2011 to rather shit the next year? What do you put it down to then??? Do you reckon he got shoved in soil and turned into a potato??? Just like that???

Explain.

Of course you can. Just don't pull out the injury excuse if the bloke is actually out there on the field. Unless Richmond put Vickery in harm's way and possibly helped to aggravate his injury even more, costing him the best part of a year of football, then we have to assume he was fit to play.

How did Woewodin go from Brownlow Medalist to barely above average player? Vickery has been crap for 3 out of his 4 years in the AFL so if anything, his 2011 was the out of the ordinary season. Some players who aren't much chop manage to pull a good season out of their ass then revert back to their usual level after that. The "Richard Tambling effect".
 
I was about to agree with your post grin, then you made the foolish statement that Hird is worse than Hardwick.

That made me chortle hard! :thumbsu:
Huh?

You have betrayed yourself.
You're obviously one of these Essendon "supporters" with a pseudonym following another club.

At least you claim to be keen Eagles supporter rather than a life long Hawthorn one, which is a refreshing change. Although, in your defence, the Eagles home is a long away from that of your team, Essendon, of which you are obviously terribly ashamed.

Either way, pretty gutless. You should at least pretend to be half the supporter of us Tigers and have the balls to post under your Essendon supporting user name when you club is down.

You should defend your team in it's darkest hour rather than cowardly jumping off the bandwagon and falsely pretending to be an Eagles supporter.
 
Hird does'nt make a dozen basic mistakes in the last two minutes of a game then loses to GC.

Oh boy that was comedy :thumbsu:
Besides, Bomber has his arm so far up Hirdy's rear end that bombers hand is actually coaching ;)
Whilst you have cowardly jumped off the Essendon bandwagon, it seems you will support golden haired James "the knife" Hird until your dying breath.

Must be love :hearts:

Was it Riewoldt doing about 99% of the marking/goalkicking while Vickery floundered around like a demented salmon?

The only thing stopping that post from being classed as pure genius is it's lack of pure genius. But otherwise a commendable effort. Better run back to class now, recess is over.

WTF would you know about finals assualts ********
and pray tell what would a young Essendon supporter like you know about finals assaults, knocked out 1st round hardly conveys thoughts of a finals assault:oops:

In fact have you even won a final since you stopped cheating the salary cap?



Adelaide v Essendon 26.10 (166) to 10.10 (70)

Essendon lost to Carlton in the elimination final by 62 points
 
Yet the researves side beats a full strength Essendon.
Thanks for posting your anger and hatred.
Much appreciated.

Keep it up :thumbsu:

Someone takes the NAB cup a liiiiiiitle to serious....
Edit: I see on other threads you are keeping it up.
Well done.
Chocky frog for you.
 
I love it when flogs on Bay 13 give up. Pretty piss poor effort on your behalf. I'd be ashamed to post here again.

There was no giving up, I just saw it wasn't worth my time to try and convince a delusional Richmond freak that Riewoldt and Captain Potato were about as influential as that precious 9th spot you flogs wear or your sleeve every single day: mediocre, unsuccessful, and piss-funny. And no, I'll not be ashamed to post again, because at the end of the day, I don't follow the AFL's best excuse for comedy.
 
Played on f***ing Schoemakers and a bunch of no-name Hawf kids and couldn't even kick 2 goals. 2 marks, 8 possessions, 1 tackle, 1 goal 1 behind.

Terrible excuse for a footballer. This guy is actually Richmond's second best forward...
But, but I thought if a pretty much full strength side puts in a poor performance against a half strength side, that Proves, without doubt, that they are a really, really good side.

I just can't understand what's changed over the last 24 hours.

Or is it, perhaps, that you are utterly full of shit?
