Mark Fine on SEN is deranged lol

[mightytiges]

He was offered the choice of drafting 3 SEN commentators - KB, Billy Brownless, Timmy Watson, David Schwarz, Daniel Hartford and Liam Pickering - at their football prime.

He left KB out  ???.

1. Schwarz
2. Watson
3. Pickering

That's very funny. Did he give reasons?

Fine said people forget how good a footballer Pickering was at his peak. He was basing Pickering's peak on one year. Watson was one of the best players of his era while Ox at his peak was a sensational CHF. On the other hand Fine said KB was a more consistent and more talented footballer over a long period which didn't make sense anyway. Like he was saying KB's "peak" wasn't as good as the others  ???. 27 goals in one finals series sounds like a superior "peak" to me  . Fine did admit listeners would call him crazy.

I was driving home hearing that I could not believe it saying he had a bone to pick with him because KB had feasted on the Saints over the years
A journalists job is to call it how he sees it not where his her opinion lies. For goodness sakes all newspapers and such are all editorials on people opinions. 

Hello moron so did Garry Ablett on us in the 90's but if I had to pick between Gazza and Steven Handley who played in the same era I would not pick Handley because Gazza used to dine out on us.

Just for the record me and my mate agreed.
1. KB
2. Timmy Watson
3. Liam Pickering

So I take it he doesn't really watch much football. I have no problems with Watson or Pickering but Schwarz? He is the guy who played for Melbourne right? Or is there another Schwarz that I missed who was an out an out champion. My Melbourne supporting family all got very excited about Schwarz but I didn't, and still don't, see it. There are always players who stand out in the competition and he wasn't one of them. A very good "Melbourne" player yes but not an out and out champion. KB was and out and out champion no doubt, a freak in his day and he sits very comfortably alongside names like Hart, Ablett and Carey.

Way to make yourself look like a complete moron Mark Fine.  Oh well, has given me a bit of a chuckle.

Wonder if KB will refuse to set foot inside SEN until Mark Fine no longer works there. lol.  LOVE YA KEVIN

IIRC Schwarz spent most of his time on crutches. 

[mightytiges]

When Balmey was coaching the Dees and they made a PF (might have been 94), Schwarz had a blinder of a year at CHF but like tiga said he spent the rest of his career on crutches thanks to 4? ACLs.

The media really do love a CHF. 1 good year vs 406 consistently good to great games. 5 premierships, club captaincy, Norm Smith medal, 5x Best and Fairest winner and 2nd in the Brownlow IIRC. I seriously hope Mark Fine isn't on the draft selection committee for Richmond.

RROFO KB played 403 games

Oh in that case I agree, Schwarz is much more worthy.
