Blair

[Shanghai Charlie]

The single worst buy in Tigers history.

Every game. How many mistakes? How many penalties?
How many lazy arm grabs?

A lazy piece of sh*t. Sell this grub now and cut our losses.

blaming one person for a pathetic defensive effort is pretty ordinary!

It's been a disgraceful season on all levels for Blair.
Today was just the icing on the cake.

 

[Tiger05]

I keep looking for positives and there were some today however overall he just needs to improve so much. For the money we paid for him you would expect a solid player and he just isn't that player.

He tried hard, he has some good moments but at the same time he stuffed us.

 

[hutch]

i dont even think that he tries that hard. he has no urgency in his game, never makes an extra effort to get back in defence or get back and get us going forward. he prances around, goes for the low percentage miracle offload and does nothing at speed. never rated him at melbourne but i rate him less now. he is the worst player in the starting side and i wouldnt be sad if he left.

He tried hard? You must be kidding. Never EVER have a I seen a bludger on so much money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The whole pub this arvo agreed. Not one said otherwise...approx 30 watching it. What a TOTAL waste of money.

Today he was ordinary but he was not alone,it seem to be one of those games when nothing went right for the WT eg.ball stripped,final pass forward,not passing on overlaps,refs decisions etc.but nothing excuses that piss poor defence.The sooner Fulton,Ellis and Farah come back the better.

i thought he turned the corner last week but back to his usual best this week

I don't why I am laughing at this because I should be smacking my head against the wall.

Please explain ?? that didnt really make any sense 851 :?

 

[madunit]

He's f**ked.

He's been carried all year, mostly by Fulton.

Fulton misses the game (and with no Ellis or Farah there either) and Blair is in a position where he has to stand up and perform, and instead he dishes up that useless shit.

I'd rather Beau Ryan in the back row.

 

[hutch]

The difference between Blair and Ellis is enormous. Ellis is everything that Blair is not, he puts his body on the line, does the hard stuff and puts in for his team. Blair takes a hit up in the back of the other forwards, flops in tackles and avoids getting dirty. F*ck him off!

 

[T.T]

blair 7 hitups, 8 missed tackles, 2 penalties conceeded, 3 errors

he earnt around $20k for that game lol

 

[Eddie.]

I excuse the team as a whole for their performance today due to the circumstances.

However by and large Adam Blair has been a pathetic flop. I just don't rate him as a footballer on what I have seen at the Tigers so far. Hopefully he can really step it up and turn it around in the next 18 months otherwise he is the dud signing of all time.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I thought he was turning the corner but he was pathetic today.

 

[madunit]

Some of the members are excused because they've been close to Robbie for a number of years.

Blair has been here for a few weeks, he's on massive coin, more than Ellis.

He needs to start proving he deserves it and that he's worth it.

Here's a telling stat

Anasta - 80mins - 6 runs for 99 metres, 19 tackles, 1 offload, 3 tackle breaks, 5 missed tackles.

Blair - 80mins - 7 runs for 51 metres, 29 tackles, 2 offloads, 3 errors, 2 penalties conceeded, 0 tackle breaks, 8 missed tackles.

Blair - 80mins - 7 runs for 51 metres, 29 tackles, 2 offloads, 3 errors, 2 penalties conceeded, 0 tackle breaks, 8 missed tackles.

The thing the stats don't take into account is that one of Blair's errors happened when we were on the attack basically on their line. He basically killed a great opportunity that we had that could have been a turning point for us in the game.
