Re: 2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne - Lods - 04-04-2017
I went for about 30 years before I stumbled across a football forum.
In that time if you played for Carlton you could do no wrong in my eyes...of course the fact was that we had quality sides for most of that period and that meant that if you were good enough to get a game you were a pretty good footballer.
Being on a forum is different though because you'ré not just looking at it with your own bias.
Someone might mention a fault you may not have picked up on and once aware you tend to notice it a bit more....or you might reject the opinion completely.
Players are analysed for their strengths and weaknesses.
Some people get a set against a player, others defend them.
The fact is we've had a lot of players in the last fifteen years who have had their limitations.
Skills and effort are constantly questioned.
But that's actually the purpose of a football forum....argument and discussion.
Even opinions that are outrageous or hypercritical have their place because they serve as a basis for the discussion.
If everything was constantly rosy and there was nothing to pick fault with this would be a deadly dull and boring place.
I can understand the backlash against the negativity...I get a bit upset with it myself from time to time, especially when it's against a player or aspect of the club's function that I don't mind...
but the best way to combat it is with counter-argument.
That's when the forum thrives.

Robbo on 360 said Cripps threw a punch and Lewis just threw one back and his connected.

Yes, it's all about bad Crippa and good Jordi!
God bless Flubbo, can't miss an opportunity to pot a Carlton man, has also spent too long hanging around with Sheedy. ;D

Thought it was incredibly poor by AFL360 last night. Went easy on Lewis because he is a regular guest. Tore shreds off others.
Nearly as bad as old mate Lloydy going to water on the other show when asked to talk about the Freo list... we all know who the list manager is.

People laughed preseason but I still think Freo are the best chance of a club finishing below us.
Works for me because if we lose anybody else pick three as compo is far more likely than one and two.

Yep. Lloyd will go to town on SOS/Carlton but gets his back-up over his bro at Freo. Hilarious!

What do you mean? Lewis is gobsmacked he was even sent to the MRP because for his whole career at the Dawks he did the same thing and it was never looked at. Always did the old Hodge, 'sorry, I didn't mean for you to run into my elbow' >

Lewis has always been a sniper >
hate the prick he is the same as the dirty wonderboy Hodge.Lewis honestly thought he would get off as he has been doing the same thing for years ask Todd Goldstein.I commend Carlton for shoving it up Melbourne my only disappointment they both didnt get more weeks .Lewis is the new Milburn ,bring it on I wont forget .

It's just that some folk apparently don't watch our games, have unrealistic expectations, or just want something to bitch about.
We know you do. Its not like taking something out of context to further push a grudge you have.
FYI, The greatest players of all time, ALL have an attribute that is rated last. That is not a negative, it is a fact of life. It doesn't make them any less of a player either.
For the record, i would have Judds kicking as his 2nd worst attribute, marking last.
The point i was making is that Cripps does many things elite, kicking is not one of them. Yes, along with pace, it would be in my bottom 2 in terms of his attributes.
