Postby catchit » Wed Apr 22, 2009 1:38 pm

i am a die hard eagles fan but i dont know how chad fletcher gets a gig.. fair enough he gets 30 touches but when 25 of them are turn overs week in week out really frustrates me!!

Agree with that. How he is leader, let alone a captain is beyond me.

Alipate Carlile is over-rated for mine, some say he's one of the premier key-defenders in the business. No football brain, and looks like he's asleep out there.

So he should be, he's a kid who's played less than 50 AFL games ... And yes to your question.

Obviously players of his age can go either way, history is litterered with players that become good, great and bust players, but I reckon he'll be a 200-gamer.

Rutten has kept Anthony to one goal, got beaten by Kosi, kept Pav to two goals, and Kept Mooney to two goals, thats not a to bad start to the year.

You could well be right CP but atm i think he is over rated.... its not saying he is average or will never become a solid defender just saying ATM he is getting his tired pumped up a bit to much

I'd hate to say it but 2 SA boys have not lived up to the hype. Jordan McMahon and Jay Schultz both high draft picks

I would like to see where people have said he is one of the premier key defenders? Very harsh on him here IMO and in my opinion completely wrong. He has been very good this year.

He is still a youngster learning the trade of being a key back and is doing a very good job. Played very well on Lloyd and also Franklin on the weekend.

When will people realise captains are not always the best players. I think he is in Collingwoods best 22 and is a terrific leader.

Very good speaker (If anyone has seen some of his interviews) and was always regarded as the next captain of Collingwood.

I don't know if this bloke is rated in the first place, but Justin Sherman is shite.
Panics under pressure, can't kick, very one-dimensional player.
Don't know how he's getting a game for the Lions.

He is in my dream team and can play some good games but has some shockers eg. on the weekend when he dropped 4 un contested marks

those extra 20+ points would have helped me crack 2200 :oops:
