Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 4: Carlton vs. Gold Coast

Saw the same thing. Always like Roosies take on things. He also mentioned he'd rather see Charlie running more up the ground, too clogged with 3 talls.

I'm not such a fan of Roos myself. Gets on my wick for some reason. But I'm glad he said it.

Historically it was a bit different, those blokes spent 80% of their time or more in one position.

In the modern sense, players are all over the shop, too many of them in my opinion. It's a form of standardisation that is seemingly bastardising the skill levels of the game.

So you say its a furphy, i prove otherwise and then you say its only untrue in the modern game....but go onto say that players play all over the place already in the modern game.

So lets throw up some modern names.
Dangerfield, Cripps, DeGoey, Martin.....will beat their opponents, forward and midfield....and there are plenty of others.

Blicavz can be a ruck, back or midfielder.

...there will be others.

Wouldn't say I was a fan of Roosy, more about respect. I like listening to perspectives from those who've coached sides to the top of the tree.

Yes, my feelings as well.

I've had the good fortune to hear addresses by Matthews & Jeans - the clarity, brevity, intensity and succinct intelligence of their communication is really inspiring. You could really understand how and why their sides took the field, all on the same page, all knowing what they had to do. They were also somewhat intimidating, not a bad trait for respect and adherence to the side's disciplines.

In the Jim Park thread you said giving him votes was akin to trolling ?

Does he have to better than Jones or Weeters to be considered good ?

I said it after someone rated him our second best player which is ridiculous.

Fair enough. I guess Roos saw his performance as pretty good, considering he described it as "super."

That would be me but then I consider most of your contributions ridiculous.

Actually, that’s a bit harsh; I consider some of your contributions to be spot on (and you did nail the election of the current POTUS), others to be wide of the mark, and the rest are either attempts at humour or brain fades.

The truth of the matter is that everyone sees the game differently. You gave Murphy votes in the previous game and, apart from Crash, no-one else thought he deserved votes.  I thought he ran his guts out trying to get us across the line against Gold Coast and was deserving of 4 votes in my scheme of things and I really don’t give a fat rat’s clacker if you or anyone else disagrees.

Well you practically accused me of being racist a few years ago so I don't really care what you think.

Fair enough.  I guess that means you will no longer comment on my posts
