how do those stats compare against other talls with less than 50 games under their belt?
what a lazy bugger work em out for yourself.
id hazard a guess and say they are comparable with most 1st and 2nd yr players who have been given a go. yet ben is what in yr 5 or 6.
all im doing is keeping peoples feet on the ground here. bens yr is hardly anything worth hanging your hat on now is it. statistically and imo input wise hes barely up to scratch in fact hes not.
hes gone from deplorable to what exactly ?????? yet he wins our most improved.
he goes into yr freakin 6 next yr will those stats be acceptable. imo they arent for yr 5. those stats show hes not good enough to play kpf and hes not there to play ruck.
ah defend em like your life depends on it. even when all the indicators say long long way to go.
now if we were to talk potential and possible upside th injury and other external factors i might join ya , but for me to date based purely on performance my eyes and statistically hes been very ordinary.
No diss but are you the person who recommended we draft fiora and tambling? He is a young tall who has finally been given a go, he is going ok and has a lot of upside. He has been a big plus for this season IMHO.
ive been attributed with a lot of things lambsy, but tambling and fiora are not among them.
just for you on pre just two weeks out from the nd i went deledio, franklin, lewis , and monfries. in that order with our picks . went off buddy because i listened to the bad attitude allegations mind you being in the west they were real. i have rarely picked a a player under 180cm inside the first two rounds especially skinny smls just a waste of time imo.
some players i really liked who did nothing. post yep i thought he could be a real good aerialist. ash sampi bjust loved this bloke. have to say i dont go for many indiginous types but sampi was one. i actually liked casserley great foot skills and was very happy we took him. chris yarran was another alex rance was another. people go mad at me because i continue to criticise him but i was over the moon he slipped to us. in fact i thought he would go top 10 despite the kicking. i still dont see alex in the role that most rfc people do in fact i was close to wanting us to delist him.
i liked dave gourdis as a kid not his sklls or bfooty smarts just his athleticism.we god thompson from p/a knew he had weaknesses but thought he could adapt. ffs theres lots ive been wrong about but the point is i think ive got far more right,
i used to say outright so and so is a dud after a short period at times.i wont do that anymore because there are plenty of small minded posters who want nothing more than to see you get it wrong and never ever let you forget it. i dont claim to get everything right no one in footy does . the key is to get a decent percent more right than wrong and i reckon i do that.
theres kids at gcs id like to rookie they have been cut. if i said there names and they didnt make it i would never live it down so i do pick my targets to comment on. when you think about oit its sad in a way cant talk about kids because its not worth the hassle.small minded people just looking for any old mistake ignoring religiously what you do ghet right.
