Ahhh....give me a break with this tripe. |
Actually, it's demonstrably true that guys who play at the senior level for Collingwood are better players than the keyboard warriors are. And if they get a regular game for seven years plus, chances are they're even better still.
So, no, you'll never be as good a footballer as Blair, and likely never understand the game as much as he does either. But you needn't fail at everything – if you stop bagging Collingwood footballers on a regular basis, you could at least one day become a decent supporter. |
Oh David.
You don't read my posts very carefully do you.
So I bag Collingwood players do I?
The only player I target is Blair and no one else.
Did I bag Cloke and Brown and Frost and Witts this trade period?
Absolutely not.
Unlike the so called "perceptive fellow" who threw player after player under the bus.
Over the years I might have said this or that player is a poor kick or is slow but that is it.
As for Blair and co. who know better than me, well last time I looked he wasn't on this board.
This is an opinion board David if you didn't know.
Why do you bother posting if you are not a keyboard warrior?
News alert David, we are all key board warriors!

Here it goes ...you are not a true supporter.
What a pathetic response.

| Be careful Thompsoc, he may be a Richmond recruiter, no 'Real Pies Supporter' would tell a fellow Pies man to go to punt road otherwise. |

Yes Wolfie Boy
Straight out of the Maxwell Smart book of put downs.
The Chief would have rolled his eyes.
Can't they be a little more creative with their put downs.

Takes a whack to set up the goal. |
Jeez, justifications of a player whom had 3 possessions and was subbed out in third quarter of a Grand Final. He is the last of my "nemesis" players and pray everyday that when I look at Guernsey 11 again I would rather see illuminaries such as:
* Gerald Betts
* Mark Dreher
* Garry Shaw
* Mark Bayliss |

your nemisis? have tickets on yourself much? what number did you wear? you have done better yeah? |
No but I have ticket stubs for 40 years and that allows me to dislike a player and prefer selection alternatives sycophant! |

Yep barrack for the team not individuals. Like most fair minded supporters I give every player the chance who pulls on the Pies jumper (hello Lynden Dunn). Then evaluate them on their body of work to form an opinion. Bit like measuring an employee, a girlfriend who may be your wife and acquaintances who may become lifelong pals.
Pretty basic, one would think!

I seem to recall you saying that we would never win a flag with Ben Johnson in the team. In any case, your constant bagging of Blair is bad enough. Is it supposed to be funny? I can't see anyone laughing.

So David
You had to go back to 2010
to pick me up on bagging another player.
I put him in the 3 amigoes post.
Said O'Bree and Lockyer and Johnson were finished.
I was right about the first 2 and wrong about Jono.
I was out by a year or 2 with jono.
This thread is about Blair.
I think I can comment on him in this thread.

Yes but you don't have to go that far back to hear you ragging on the coach and Hine and Ed and Blair......seems to be a pattern of behavior emerging that stretches quite the way back.
Who's next on your shit list that we get to hear about every day until we vomit?
Point is Thompsoc, (and i've been trying to get this through your head all season) no one thinks Blair is a champ, no one thinks he's a super star. Most understand he's fringe 22.
You're not seeing anything anyone else cant see. Others simply choose not to berate the bloke over his deficiencies week after week. Instead they chose to appreciate the effort he does put in and the fact that most weeks he's filled a role we really had no other options to fill.
This was due largely to player availability and player types, but not always. At times it was due purely to him having experience among a very young player group. This was pretty clear to most.
Gifted games?- i don't know. I don't know what he was asked to do, what his KPI's were and if he met them. But i do know there was little competition for his spot in an injury plagued and young group. 2017 will hopefully be different and the return? of Elliot, Fas, WHE, and Mayne should push him out......and to be fair to the club.... rightly so. But until then. Hats off to the bloke - premiership player is not something a lot of players can boast. You would expect at the least his own supporters would respect him for such- wouldn't you?

Well finally you got something right.
Blair is not afl standard
Bux is a dud
Ed has been there too long
Hine is only an average recruiter.
When these problems are addressed the club will move forward.
Address the issue and not the messenger.

Regardless, all issues will be addressed in 2017; either we crack the eight in September or something will give before then.
Line in the sand year coming up. And about time too.

What reason was there to think he'd be cut?  Would have been one of the biggest surprises ever. |
Because he is crud-tastic.
