Who is Rawlings refering to?

I know I'll be telling him to move.

I take it you're not a Richmond supporter then. Doesn't surprise me really. You need to bleed Yellow & Black before you can understand what it's like to support the RFC. For every person that takes a shot at a player, there is normally another that comes into defend (ok, maybe not Sanchez). It's what robust debate is all about.

Lids by his own admission has been lazy. The supporters can see it as well. No one is saying he hasn't got the skills and smarts to be one of the games elites, but he needs to be jolted into the right frame of mind. Maybe dropping him in round 2 would have worked wonders and he could have started performing like we know he can constantly. Tambling is a great example here.

This dyerear bloke thinks he is some sort of prophet ,just listen to the gobbledeygook and and self massaging. Some information you have put into your posts gives some an idea who you may be. I happen to know quite a few AFL players,most have flaws as do we all ,but to publicly denigrate them dyerear , smacks of a selfish, self centred little man who does not have to many endearing qualities.Certainly one who lacks wisdom and understanding.

It's an internet forum mate, you're welcome to disagree, but pouring scorn one of the most respected posters on this site who happens to express his opinions with an entertaining turn of phrase isn't going to win you a lot of support.
 
To Commonsense:

Dyer’ere is one of the most informed and intelligent (football) posters contributing to this site and I for one, have missed his opinions the past 12 – 18 months.

One criticism I have to make is that he was pretty average in a PRE intra match football at St James’ park (Hawthorn) some years ago. GeoffreyPrettyBoy on the other hand did a beautiful baulk (read stumble) got around his opponent and kick a nice goal the same match.

Agree about Dyer'ere, Cutter. He is a crap footballer.

This is what I don't get when his staunch supporters defend him so vehemently.

He knows he's bludged on occassions this year, what is so wrong with others pointing it out too? ??? :headscratch

I do think he has improved in this area over the past month or so after Rawlings threatened to drop him but again he's dropped off a bit the past two weeks. It's worrying.

27k posts KaToOy and you're still claiming to not understand the bias that some display here despite the insurmountable evidence ?
 
There would be a number of players he would be making reference too. !

Its an indictment that our two best players were 1) a 31 year old and 2) a much maligned player here .

Lets see if he walks the walk and talks the talk at selection this week.

Pffft. That was just a lucky guess.


And to you other posters who are attacking me, I was a genius before I got that horrific imaginary injury. Tendonitis if the perinaeum. It was run over by a truck. At a centre bounce. (I was in the back pocket at the time.) The trainer vomited. Three girls fainted. The coach got post traumatic thingummy and beer consumption at the club went down by twenty percent and up by a thousand at the hospital. I was never the same.

Tendonitis of the perinaeum - hmmmm, this explains the funny walk !
 
Glad somebody knows where it is, Cutter. ;D
 
I must say I am enjoying the verbal stoush on this thread. It’s like listening to a debate between Oscar Wilde and Jethro Bodine.

Well played. :crazy

C'Mon Dyer fess up. That's just a polite way of telling us you gave birth. Must compare notes on how to balance on those inflatable ring cushions one day. :rofl

No messiah mentioned in my comments - I agree with you. Benny needs to run the club as good as Steven Wright.
And that is a valid point that we may have missed. SW has done a magnificant job along with the March board to date with the off field affairs. He should be highly commended for his success. Well done Steven and wish you all the best in the future!

That's quite an unusual overuse injury there, big Jack. It sounds painful and nasty. I hope you weren't burning the candle at both ends, so to speak.

I cannot go there, rosy. The site will be shut down.

And double that to you, TOT.

The only place that's safe for me is bagging Brett DeludedEmo. ;D
 
;D

Jade's got him playing footy, Royce. I reckon he's improved.

Anyways I hope the J-Hole follows through. With his threats.
 
Well if the omissions are anything to go by he was referring to Moore and POst!
