Nearing the end of the year, I though it would be interesting to gauge with the flock which players you respect less given their on and off field performances this year.
Perhaps Cotchin, for his miserable 9 possessions vs Norf and failing to fire again in finals.
Perhaps Dusty, for the alleged behaviour last weekend.
Alex Rance for taking so much time off?
Reece Conca for percieved fitness issues.
Griffiths, for failing to come on?
Discuss.
-
Cotch, Lids, Ellis, Edwards. Didn't deliver when it counted.
Don't hate them, just don't respect them as much as I did. Don't see how anyone could really. It's all about finals.
-
Cotchin has at least stood up in one final when the chips were down....which still puts him in a very small but elite group at RFC of him, Vlastuin, Maric (2013), Miles, Rance & Riewoldt (2015)
-
Hunt - didn't expect the world but thought he'd be a handy pick up but has been pretty disappointing.
Cotchin - everyone has a dog day but 9 possessions? Gee wiz.
On another tangent 2 players have earnt more of my respect
Grimes - I know Claw thinks he's soft but I disagree. May not be big bodied but he isn't scared to put it on the line
Miles - liked him last year, loved him this year. You can always trust him in the centre and does quite well defensively too.
-
I respect anyone for being good enough to play footy at the highest level.
I was disappointed in a few senior players for not standing up when it counted last September .
We were good enough to beat North . Chance to play in a preliminary final went begging .

I think you will find lids averages 24 possies per final and nearly a goal per final, I'll bet there are many , many afl players and (not good enough to tie bootlaces) supporters who would love to do that.

Rewatch the three games and tell me again how rubbish lids is. Fools.

That's a decent average but I wouldn't call that standing up when the chips are down

No we weren't stop kidding yourself.
We have had more than a few senior players fail to stand up in september. every year it is almost an epidemic come september.

Yeah mat. They were toying with us the whole game and we were actually no where near winning :lol

Yeah you re-watch them then tell us again not how good he was when we were overrunning Carlton and 5 goals up , not how good he was in second half v Port when they were 10 goals up and the horse had bolted, but how good he was when those matches were on the line and Carlton, Port & North were overrunning us....

Need I say :whistle

Despite the early goal, Lids sucked against North. No impact. I expected more because he is talented.
-
They're all idiots.
It should be, what players have gained your respect in 2015.
I'd say Miles, Rance .... That's it

+ Jack for me, because he stood up in the final.

Yep - was atrocious against North.

Yeah but who still had respect for Hardwick before the year started? Not anyone with any clue about football....

For not retiring

Not talking about Hardwick

Ironic thread really :snidegrin

I can't wait until his sacked. You just know that Rhubarb guy or whatever his name was is going to come back just to have a whack at me and then disappear for 12 months just to do it all over again

Any team that was good enough to beat Freo ( at Subi) , Sydney ( SCG ) and Hawthorn should be expected to beat 8th .....don't think I'm kidding myself.
Some of our stars played so badly that game OER is still in meltdown 3 months later.
-
Morris went further backwards. Lost a bit more respect.
I thought Batch had an improved year and so goes up in the respect dept.
-
KB

KB
X 2 selfish little prick
-
whenever someone speaks out for ratings i lose respect for them.
If anyone thinks otherwise they are kidding themselves. Why i know this because the league is littered with incidents, and i dont remember KB ever calling for someones head for 12 months.
wonder why? Times must be tough at SEN hence the shake up
-
Chaplin,dud.

are you saying you had respect for him at the start of the season?

There's always some amount of respect for those that don the yellow & black even if it is miniscule.

Same here. It was at that stage I knew we would lose.
*sigh*
-
but, seriously, now it cracks me up watching that.
-
I have respect for all our players as players. . All talented enough to get on an afl list even with their weaknesses. Which is something me and 99.9% of the nuffies in here cant say.
Having said that as afl players is it really a question of respect ? How can you respect people you dont know? I would have thought its more about how each of us rate players and how they play at the elite level. Respect has little to do with it.
-
but, seriously, now it cracks me up watching that.
It just needs the Benny Hill music added
-
:lol
true dat
-
Until they start performing in finals, I agree that all of our players have lowered their colours.
Are our so called elite players that good? The answer is no if you get it done in the rehearsals but cant perform on the big stage..
-
The hivemind is wacko.
Hodge nick Riewoldt ad Ablett would struggle in finals to carry our bottom six
More so I they'd played against a side that rested half it's best 22 the previous week
-
The hivemind is fooled.

What? It has nothing to do with "carrying" it's about playing well individually which a number of our supposed guns failed to do.
Never mind Grigg ect, if Cotch and Lids had good games against North we would have won.
-
Rubbish

Rubbish
Your logic is flawed. In order to actually carry others you have to play well yourself.
In other words, some of our guns were'nt carrying poo because they themselves were being carried. Capiche?
Or is Cotchin getting 9 touches your idea of him carrying Grigg?

Pls pray tell, how was is it
...we were still a shout with a few mins left - I te better players well all crap?
Te heroics of Newman grigg Chaplin?
Miles was good but he didn't make us hang in there by himself for 115m

Come again?
-
Why is it you reckon, we could still realistically win the game with a couple mins left
If most the better players were as poor as you claim?
-
Amazing moves by the senior coach perhaps
-
I reckon we were shot by 3/4 time. Even halfway through the third. I reckon the mood at the ground was we were going to lose.
Destroyed out of the middle and they had a heap more scoring shots. They played the better football and had players who stood up.
-

Granted, but other factors too
-
Doesn't matter what you reckon
We were down by 2 goal with 3 mins, or 3 goals with 4 mins - there was some hope of winning with limited time left
Why is that? Cause grigg and Chappy were amazing ? Get me an answer big willy ASAP

Depends how's you want to cut it
To MAKE the finals you need to win x amount
That's a lot of carrying. I bet you would have a sore back too
Can you explain who was carrying our guns outside of miles who is fairly handy himself. The griggster with 16 odd touched @ 50% efficiently. ?
-

Because at least one of our stars (Jack) and a few of our second tier players (Miles, McIntosh, Vickery) played well or at least respectably.
I'm not saying we don't have a problem with depth, btw, just that some of our stars have let us down on the big stage.
I am of the belief that if 2 or even 1 of Lids/Cotch/Ellis/Edwards had a good game we would have won.
-
We were absolutely belted in that E/M. Lucky not to lose by 10 or 12 goals which would have been a fairer reflection on the game.
They had the ball nearly 50 more times.
They won the tackle count, they won the clearance count, they won the i/50 count and they smashed us in the c/p count. To top it off they generated 30 scoring shots to 16. All only stats but stats that confirm an awful lot to those who closely watched the game. They killed us no ifs or buts. no thanks to us but more to do with them not taking all of their opportunities we somehow stayed in the game on the scoreboard only.
There are blokes in the so called best 22. blokes who are bigger names than others who have not only failed in that big game but regularly failed in big games.
-
Why stop there? Lucky to not lose by 20 goals
-
I raise that to 25 goals
-
North would've raised the double ton had they kicked straight....
-
Lucky to not lose by 32 goals

Lucky to not lose by 32 goals
Now that's just ridiculous Bents
