FFS
in his first year mcbean has been one of the stand out forwards of the VFL.
unlike others such as griffiths who has shown SWA, Mcbean has performed at the the 2nd tier.
he has shown more than any other kid as a kpf or a number of years.
Stuff me.
Get stuffing real, the positivity is warranted, although for some positivity is an dirty word.
lol ive seen even greater positivity over griffiths short career and where did it get us. you can reel em off in the shedloads yet im to get real. post astbury grimes vickery to date on our list champions all and lets not dare criticise em eh or even say they have to prove themselves. i wonder who should get real.
ive gotta ask why do people never learn, why the impatience awhy cant they actually wait for players to properly develop and then perform at the least to a reasonable standard before lauding them as the next big thing.
seems 30 plus yrs of abject failure and making the same sort of judgements is of no concern, lets just keep on praising em up before they do a thing. sooner or later one of em will turn out good. yep some just never learn.
i suppose the old idea of players actually proving themselves and then becoming good consistent players is old hack. me i think i will stick to those notions unlike others who it seems are still easily pleased by that word potential and are happy to pronounce em the next big thing before they have played a game.
yep i really do wonder who is the one who should get real.
you are definately the one who needs to get real. go and have at look at mcbeans performance at VFL. You can list all the names of blokes who have shown nothing but that is just misery guts irrelevance.
Unlike all the others you mention, he has actually performed. Ranked 9 in the VFL goalkicking from 13 games, 5th on goals per game. What more do you want from a 200cm beanpole in his first year?
If someone his age had performed like that in the WAFL you'd be gobbling his name about like a turkey, telling all and sundry that if we didnt draft him we would be doomed for another 100 years.
If people cant show a bit of positiveness and excitement over a kid who,in his first year, has
actually shown he can perform at 2nd tier senior level, then we all may as well line up behind you and your misery guts followers and neck ourselves.
If you want to spend your life in a pit of despair, thats fine, but why try to drag everyone else into the pit of darkness with you? Misery certainly does love company.
