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.


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

So our medical staff played him injured during his first season did they? FMD. Did Chutney tell you that.

Where did I say the medics played him injured  :huh

 I didn't . Claw said he'd shown nothing in 4 years

Just pointed out He had shoulder surgery during his first season. A Shoulder reco and then the other one the following year

So considering he didn't play much in his the first couple of years because of injury, I don't buy the "he's shown nothing in 4 years"

As I said bit hard to show anything when you're not able to get the park

You said he was injured for the first 18 months. He played football for Coburg and Richmond in his first season. Therefore you think the medical team said he could play even though he was injured. If he was injured 'for the first 18 months' then he shouldn't have played or trained.

He didn't play late in his first season after he did his shoulder

So his first 18 months at Richmond started after he had already played plenty at Coburg and 5 games for Richmond? Or did his first 18 months start in his second year? But that can't be right because he played at both VFL & AFL level that year too.

Yep couldn't believe that. Massive kick in the guts to a guy who was at least trying and had played a reasonable game to that point.

Glad he got a run at least. Could see the effort was there, leading and chasing. Needs to keep playing.
