Snip Again  :banghead

What is staggering is the very people who in the past have complained about posts getting hijacked are now complaining when we snip.

Can't have it both way folks

And have a re-read of this as well

No problems with people having a bit of fun.

But when it disintegrates to cheap name calling (eg constantly referring to posters as d'heads, morons, idiots, wankers, which has been the case over the last couple of days then it's unacceptable.

Also the rules about the crude, childish comments have been in place for 12 months. They were introduced for a reason. Which was/is clearly explained

A bit banter and fun is one thing but when comments are simply crude for the sake of being crude and it takes over entire discussions and people have to wade through pages of "crap" (for want of a better term) then it gets snipped

ok on topic.  and calling it as it is.

whats he done to date. stuff all.
to date hes been a hack  hes lucky to be on the list.  lol at all the joy over a praccie match.
lets see when the real stuff begins if this hack can improve. and he better improve or he will be gonski.

Was it not only a couple days ago you said

My mate has a theory 200cms are not sposed to come good until 24
and that has exactly what to do with what ive said here.
its a theory  about blokes clicking at 24 it also means they should show something as they go.its a guide and it should be used with common sense and in conjunction with all other factors. its not there to justify backing in blokes who have shown nothing over 4 yrs..

besides im over having to justify my comments on here. you can  either take em as they are meant, or  read into em what you like as is the wont of posters around here.. theres also the option to ignore em alltogether i dont care.

me i wouldt be defending  a bloke who in 4 yrs has done virtually nothing,  with little or no improvement. to date hes been a hack struggling to get a kick at coburg.  not sure what you think is wrong with that comment. its a fact. and yes im cynical about praccie match form.

truth is with what hes shown hes lucky to survive  the cut this yr.  they did shop him around and there was no takers.

if i had one word to sum up his career to date it would be dud/ or hack. and he damn well better show some decent improvement  and consistency if he wants to survive.

claw in fairness to people here .what they have seen and what I have seen,are glimpses of a man able to move over the ground like a gazelle(someone who is over 200cm).
An ability to kick a football like no other I have seen in 20 years,and certainly not at our club since jimmy jess.

Yes we have only seen glimpses of these attributes but thats what we are hanging our hats on.whether he can pull it all together is up to him.

I cut him some slack because although he's been on the list 4 years, he was injured for the first 18 months. Shoulder recos take a while to get over. Can't show much when you're not on the park

Griff can run.  Griff can jump.  Griff can catch.  Griff can kick.

Griff gets where the ball aint, although he has improved over the summer.
