Joel Bowden our best player

[Aron]

I am also very dissapointed with this post!!!!!!!!!!! I started this as a serious question if joel was our best player and to see so many supporters put down a great player is an absolute discrace

Aron it is nothing personal and the seriousness of your question is not a problem either. Merely that is my point if some agree well fine and if others don't that is also fine also. This is why we have forums and contribute to them daily to express our viewpoints. I would not call me thinking Joel is nowhere near our best player a disgrace just as you could find faults in Richo who is my favourite player. Yet I would not consider it an insult nor a disgrace if you thought otherwise. Anyway lets just agree we all have the success of the Tigers in the forefront of our minds and leave it at that. Welcome to OER.

Kane Johnson !

yeah big deal that wasnt at punt road buddy.

last year in a year where we needed someone to stand up he went missing. all im saying is i want this bloke to win one game off his boot for us. just one game.

when i see that i will be happy. right now when i see this guy get his hands on the ball i cringe and hope he passes it off. unlike bowden, knockers he may have but his disposal is second to none in this team.

sorry ur right stupid me. 3 other players had more possessions and lids kicked 5 goals.

yet ur claim is Sugar won the game off his own boot.
no worries pal

what about the collingwood game this year where he set up numerous plays though the mid with his creative handballing does that equal one game where he one the game for us  ???

it was my bad thinking of the wrong game. the vs bombers game was the one where he was superb, in the collingwood game sugar was brilliant in the 2nd half.

i'm not saying Kane is a superstar but it is absolutely ignorant to claim he is an average player at best

You've got to be kidding.  ???

What you posted about Joel Bowden is one of the most disgraceful personal attacks I've seen on any player on any football forum.

You did a lot more than call him nowhere near our best player.

U gotta ask urselves,
Why do so many of us hate Joels Guts,or lack thereof.

He's a sneaky prick and thru his whole career has probably made
4 courageous,physical moves,2 of which happened last year
 - in the same match.
Even the commentators were astonished and had a laugh at his overall
lack of desire to play the contested ball.

For a youngster that promised much he delivered little.
He is now,instead,a sweeper of the backline,encouraging others to do the hard work
enabling him to ping it off,hopefully to one of our players.

If there is any aura regarding this player,it's more likely to be self gratification....ask him,he'll tell u.

I'm one of Kane Johnson's biggest detractors but calling him gutless is farcical. The guy tries his guts out every game and is a very very good tagger. His main problem is his disposal
and decision making which is why he shouldn't be captain but gutless here certainly is not. In actual fact he is probably one of the more courageous players we have.

So many?

I think you'll find you're a very small minority.

No AFL footballer is gutless. Just to run out on the field and compete takes courage when you have the likes of Jonathan Brown and Barry Hall crashing into you. Even a current Geelong player "flinched" out of going back into a contest.

For what it is worth IMO Browny (fully fit) is our best player but footy is a team sport and Richmond hasn't had a decent list for 25 years. It's always been left to too few to win us games.

there r varying degrees of courage MT,that's all.

He's a better salesman than Wallace.
