Brereton: RFC youngsters not enough for top 3 consistency.

Just shows what a D/head you really are.
Aaron James could play the game.
He knee was stuffed at AFL level.
You will find since leaving the AFL, he has kicked 100 goals in a season, 7 years straight, FACT.
Has recently been suspended and is now finished.
Blaisee, I wont reply to your posts anymore, you are an imbecile and  will treat you like one

Is he better than Carey, Jack?

If the Saints worked out Fiora was a dud then why did they trade for him off us while bypassing Simmo (a ruckman that they needed) and then hold onto Fiora for 4 years and counting.

As for holding onto player worth trading - Yep in the case of Schulz (only value to another club was he's a tall) but no one would touch the others.  

I can handle people thinking Wallace is a dud coach but some of the arguments given for hating him have so many factual flaws you just treat it as a blind rant. Sure Wallace should have offloaded the same old failing senior players sooner but seriously to say Plough has sent us backwards is laughable given the club had the bottom of pants hanging out both on and off field when he arrived. We were making $2m losses and a list of Richo, Browny and a couple of others nearing the end and the rest of the list were middle footy age recycled duds with hardly any kids unlike the Hawks and Dogs who had a young core to build around. Whether Wallace is around or most likely not in 14 months time is irrelevant to the overall direction. The list is in far healthier state now than it was at the end of 2004 and it should be in a even better state at the end of next year. We are also making $1 million profits and now finally have some spare dollars to finally invest in the club both extra resources for the footy dept and infrastructure. Not sure how they are stale in only their 1st, 2nd or 3rd year at the club lol. Half the team on the weekend had played less than 50 games for crying out loud. As a new coach with a honeymoon period anyone would love to end up coaching us come 2010 and beyond.

Having sat behind this idiot, he cant coach.

Jacko I wanna support you on Aaron James but lets be honest he wasnt up to AFL standard.

Ramps, he looked like he was going to be a superstar in his first year, thus Dermies comments. Went pick 35 in 1993 National Draft, remember him playing at the jets in 1992, he was going to be real good at the time, reckon the drink got to him as well, was wild..
Reckon that he towelled up Dermie in an intra club match at Vic Park in 1995, thus Dermies comments as well,
Its easy for people to bag James 15 years after he was drafted as they would of forgotten

Just shows what a D/head you really are.
Aaron James could play the game.
He knee was stuffed at AFL level.
You will find since leaving the AFL, he has kicked 100 goals in a season, 7 years straight, FACT.
Has recently been suspended and is now finished.
Blaisee, I wont reply to your posts anymore, you are an imbecile and  will treat you like one

Is he better than Carey, Jack?

No he isnt for obivous reasons, he did his knee at 19

James was never gonna be better than Carey, even as a promising youth.
That's my opinion and you said yours.  We'll never know I guess.
Carey had obstacles along the way as well, shoulder injuries which I don't know how he played as well as he did with.
Not saying James didn't have the potential, but he would have had to have been darn good to be in the Carey league.

Moi, did you ever see him play as a junior ? No i thought not.
He  was as good, if not better than Brad Johnson at the Western Jets, One made it successful, Aarron didnt end of story
Can even remember Shannon Grant playing with him

We're comparing him to Carey, Jack!
I saw Carey as a junior and he was outstanding then as well.
No, I didn't see James as a kid, and I'm not saying he wasn't destined for great things hadn't injury stopped him, but we're comparing him to the best in the business and we'll never ever know.
I'd rather err on the side of someone who has the record than someone who might have been.
Good to see him still playing well and enjoying his footy though

I think you're thinking of his 2nd year Jack ('95). James only played 2 games in his first year for 0 and 8 disposals. I wouldn't compare him to Carey even as a youngster. Carey was kicking bags of goals even in his 2nd year. James was a dud/headcase after he returned from injury in '97 followed by 3 years with us  .

He got a life suspension last I heard

[Fishfinger]

Under the AFL Victoria guidelines, any player who accumulates 16 weeks' suspension during a senior career is automatically deregistered and not allowed to re-register in any affiliated league ever again.

Aaron James went over when he was suspended earlier this year on charges of striking and misconduct. I think he hit a spectator. 
He copped 15 matches in 2006 for using abusive and threatening language towards an umpire and threatening behaviour towards an umpire. He was also charged with spitting at a spectator and striking a spectator but got off. When the tribunal suspended him he threw chairs and abused the tribunal members. 

I still remember Collingwood getting rid of him after he peed on a couple of girls on the dancefloor at a nightclub.

Good footballer. Good at being an imbecile.
