2005 - The *on field* issues

[thickos]

Coaching has everything to do with this thread and hence my post which thickos commented on. I can tell you I'd like X at postion Y, Carney at no. 7, etc etc etc and it means nuthin, a big fat 0 ... and why is that, obvious ... check out last season when we all wanted Carney to be given a decent run in 1st grade. Second guessing Elliot's team makeup aint somehing I'm going to comment on.

Fair enough that is your prerogative to not comment on those issues. However you feel free to criticise Elliott at every opportunity??

I know you have admitted you will be the first to put your hand up if everything becomes wonderful and we start winning games etc etc - the point I was getting at is that if all you do is harp on about Elliott then you come across as a bit one dimensional. However I too have my own bugbears so who am I to judge.

Just curious as to your thoughts on the team... here i was thinking this thread was gonna be a simple task to moderate :lol:

Point taken.

PS You will not persuade me not to ciriticise the coach.

add to my last sentance "... at every opportunity."

thickos... do you think it makes a lick of difference what any of us guess for team Elliott will pick? I think he showed clearly this season that, although he must have some sort of concept in mind in his selections, no-one else can figure out why some selections are made. Case in point, Jason Bulgarelli.

On the other hand, for us to each post our selections raises a few interesting discussions. Why did so-and-so select this player in front of that player?

As I see it, the only guarantees for Round 1 are Clinton Schifofske at #1 and Ryan O'Hara at #8. All other jerseys are up for grabs.

Bring on the trials!

 

[Raider_69]

I think the following are walk up starts

1. Schif - Best player and the best defencive fullback in the comp, when in form he is the best current fullback in the world IMO (now that lockyer is playing 5/8th)
8. O'Hara - Rep prop
11/12/13. Croker - no need to elaborate

McLinden somewhere, i know he has been in piss poor form but remember, form is temperary, class is perminate, we all know McLinden can be one of the most effective attacking weapons in the game, i with less pressure on carrying the team he will come good

outside them its all on for young and old IMO

I have a touch of sorrow for all those you have placed in your "definite starters" ... hang in there boys, Elliott couldnt be that stupid, but one of you is going to lose your postiion to boogs :lol: :lol: :lol:

Kris Man saying that Mogg is a definite starter? Is this the Apocalypse? :shock:

I would not classify Hindy as a definite starter. He played a lot off the bench this season. However I agree with your sentiments regarding who is likely to be there.

No space for Kahler???

i think Hindy was named on the bench for only 3 games - that's not many at all. as for Kahler, he simply didn't fit into any of those 3 categories. if i added a "possible 17's" category (which would have been very long) Kahler would have been in it.

well, i'm was making a prediction, not stating my opinion.

 

[raiderette_robbo]

all i have to say is i hope robbo plays well next yr....go robbo

 

[SOULS 04]

he'll need to otherwise he'll be lucky to get into premier league

 

[Tidus_Raider]

ive never rated the signings of the howells since day 1
they are nevilles if ive ever seen a neville, i will go one step further and say in 3 years they will be talk about in the same mould as the kelly gang... not THAT bad but f***in ordinary to say the least

my opinion of corse

The only memory I have of either Howell is David ( I think that's the winger) being unable to chase monaghan and monas was able to go length of the field.
