Is anyone as sick as I am of player flogging. Its so repetitive and so boring. I also find it at the moment completely irrational. Last week it was spot the good player not spot the bad player. Stupid to single anyone out in what was a truly awful team performance. But lets see if I have got it right (from memory):
Krakouer, unfit and slow, always second to the ball (axe)
Pettifer, soft at the footy no accountability (used to be axe but he's improved)
Hyde, lacks impact, one sided, probably won't make it
Hartigan, turns the ball over too much
Tivendale, one sided, does nothing but turn the ball over (axe for pity's sake)
Gaspar, horrible disposal and only negates (axe)
Kellaway, see Gaspar + old (axe)
Richo, petulant, too many points, makes everyone kick to him (never win a premiership with him in our side - must axe)
Bowden (J), lacks accountability
Simmonds, can't mark or kick for goal - 5 year contract was rubbish (can't axe though because we axed donut first)
Stafford , too old and slow (axe immediately)
Chaffey, ditto (ditto)
Hall, too slow, not good enough (axe)
Johnson, not a leader, should never have taken him, look at what we missed
Rodan, holds on too long, poor disposal, never should have been given a two year contract
Tambling, proven to everyone that we should have taken Franklin
Roach, will never make it, can't take a key small (like the rest of the side) - but wait, is he improving?
Pattison, too slow can't kick, but deserves time
Schulz, has never played again like he did against the Bears, did a good 10 mins against Geelong
Hilton and Fiora, waste of high draft picks +++++ (yes they've gone but you wouldn't know it)
As for the rest, they are either sainted (eg Cogs, Lids, Tuck, Browny, Thurs)
Or have done nothing even for Coburg but are too young to bag (the rest)
Knobel gets a special category as he is just too boring as a plain tap ruckman to really discuss too much, and Newman is still riding high his chase down of the Irish so no bagging there either.
I think if we deleted automatically comments like the above we would reduce our total posts by over 50%. A little scary really and what is sad these comments will crop up regardless of anything the player concerned actuyally does on game day. I know I have missed some old faves and I may have mis-remembered but I couldn't honestly be bothered re-reading all the flame postings to pick out some more. Can we please take as read the above (yes that's our list) and try to say something new and, wait for it, relevant to the most recent game?
