[Coach]

I wish I could judge football and tall defenders as well as HKTiger.

Yeah he's had a poor season.  Time might be running out for him.  He does seem lost at the moment.

I'll hold out hope.  But I'm sure you knew that anyway.

Haha fair enough. I was on the Sarge bandwagon til the end...at least your man is being picked most weeks (even if it probably is to increase his value).  

[Jackstar is back again]

Nah, I am clueless
I am a simpleton
I tell myself I can only get better as I am starting from very low base.
I keep telling myself , i want to reach the heights of the highly intelligent posters on OER.
Please god, grant me this wish.

Nah, you're far from clueless. I find most of your posts amusing ... bitter and twisted but amusing.
You're an extremist. You should be the leader of a sect.

Nah, just RUTHLESS !.

Dont pussyfoot about, just cut players if not up to it
raise the bar high, our players are content to do the  "'limbo rock" unfortunately

[Penelope]

oh yeah, i forgot to mention , this is supposed to be elite football.
Not picking players in hope they will improve
Thats the major downfall at Punt Rd, has been for 25 years

you post some crap at times JJ but that surely takes the cake?

 except for older established players, every club hopes that every draftee will improve ...don't they?

NO, can tell you that Heppell was a ready made player according to those at the AFL camp last year.
Adam Patterson for example was a player picked in hope he would improve, was never going to improve, had no skill below his knees, HOPELESS in fact
Mate I could go on, cant be bothered
We rookie Hicks,PLEASE DONT GET ME STARTED
J Pod trained at RFC and we showed him the door.
Our recruiting has been terrible

we have been ruthless the past two seasons and will be again this year but you can only cut them if you can replace them with better players! With a shallow talent pool out there this year I think we would be mad to delist a 2nd year player who has been injured for half his time at the club.
He may have some floors to overcome but surely at this stage he would be better on our list next season than a pick between 80 and 100?

[Penelope]

so heppel is as good as hes going to get?

 

wont improve from here on in?

We wanted to rookie j Pod but were not allowed as they were restrictions on the age - back then there were no mature aged rookies.

Having said that, our rookies selections in the past few years have been poor and very poor when compared to Freo.

Hicks was never ever ever going to make it

[HKTiger]

And at the time we requested special permission to rookie list him  The AFL denied our request and changed the rules a year later.  Geelong also had doubts and only rookie listed.

FACTS are FACTS

[bojangles17]

looked pretty good to me for a fella in his 4th or 5th game, incredible how some of the luminaries in here can make a call after 2 hitouts ...wonder what they would have said of Phar lap after running unplaced in first few starts

[Dubstep Dookie]

Looked good to me too

Look at all the players drafted from Gippsland Power are ready made players. They work very hard & have the best facilities.
The list of current players is huge

Played well in my book - won a lot of one on ones and would suggest he will het better

PS: Was very impressed ( close to BOG) with the super dud Alex Rance- put up your hand if you had previously binned him as he's our best defender by far . He should be proud of himself .
