gees guys,..,.do you support the football club or just like to hang it on the players..??? foleys time will come. if he is a true champ he will win a brownlow..not just get a few votes here and there...

as for petts..he kicked quite a few goals for us this year. foley was never gonna score well in the brownlow. no one for the tiges was gonna score well.

Obviously Foley needs to start handing out high-fives every time he gets a kick for the umps to notice him
 
No worries, Ronnit.

It's just that these two statements seemed a bit contradictory:

am i the only person who thinks Nathn Foley is over rated???
..but he frustrates the hell out of me when he does not dispose of the ball well.
All we hear of is how many possessions he has but do people notice how many times the ball is turned over by him?
 
well i dont think that is bagging him...when i say bagging i mean some of the ways people speak on here about their team...i am a tiger thru and thru and i dont think you will ever hear me be nasty about any player...i just question the attention foley is getting...

but anyhow..that is just my little ol opinion...i have family and friends who adore him:):)
 
I think Foley is a great player and has a good potential at Richmond, and oh how he runs!! But I agree with Ronnit how sometimes he out does himself...but he is still a good player!!

He tried but couldn't reach. ;D
 
actually we are not the same person. i am ronnit . my daughter is tigergirl. and she has different opinions to me:)
 
didn`t deserve to be AA,simply because he played in the bottom team.
also the selectors reward players for successive years of playing well.
so this year is like putting something in the bank for foley.


he was stiff not to win the B+F but richo`s dominated for 15 years and only just won his first.
so foley can`t feel to hard done by after only playing well for 1 season.

as for brownlow votes,he only played in 3 winning games.
umps will naturally go for the team that won if it`s a close call.

so really you shouldn`t expect anything like brownlow votes or All Australian if you finish stone motherless last.

foley is a super player and we are very lucky to have him.
most clubs in the league would love to have such an explosive player who wins so many centre clearances,they are like gold in today`s game.
he gets plenty of the ball and his disposal is pretty good i think.
sure he turns it over sometimes but so does every midfielder in the comp,i`d much rather have foley having a bloody go and making the odd mistake than players who have 10 times his natural ability like tambling and meyer who seem tentative and afraid to make mistakes.
