Being ultra-focused qualifies you as being a knob. Interesting philosophy.

No just in Buckleys case!!
And please .... Like I'm the only person who thinks Buckleys a knob!!

Yeah, it's not like you're the only ticket holder there.

[Dogwatcher]

Nope, you're not. Doesn't mean you're right.

[amber_fluid]

Nope, you're not. Doesn't mean you're right.

Or wrong

[Booney]

Nope, you're not. Doesn't mean you're right.

Weight of numbers mate, weight of numbers.

At least now there's 3 people in the world that like Buckley.

[bennymacca]

Ricciuto McLeod wanganeen should definitely be in there. All played 300 games, have a premiership, and have all won some of the games highest honours.

Buckley and tredrea? Not 100% sure about tbh. Yes they are both premiership captains with 250 games but is that enough?

Time probably says yes, but I do agree that people like that should probably have to wait a bit longer.

10 years is a good number to wait too imo

When did Buckley captain a premiership?
Or even win one........ Port Magpies excluded?

It was a year ago but I'm guessing I meant Bickley?

[bennymacca]

Greg Williams? I'm sure he's in there.

Did you want me to post Diesel's stats?
It'd put both of them to shame

You can if you like, but he'll remain my most hated player of all time. ( Betts is closing in quickly though )

Seriously, how could you possibly hate Eddie Betts?

You can argue about his ability all you want but I think he is one of the most likeable footballers in the game. Always plays footy with a smile on his face.

I cant stand Eddie Betts.. there's a smugness and cockiness to the way he presents himself, makes me wanna just slap him in the face - especially after he kicks one of his brilliant goals lol

[bennymacca]

Disagree completely. It's not smugness at all it is enjoyment of being out there.

Probably the most unselfish player at the crows - that's the thing that tells me it's not cockiness

Chad Wingard on the other hand...

Horses for course then, I don't need to explain.

Pretty ******* easy really.

[bennymacca]

Ah good to see you have some reasons

[Corona Man]

[Booney]

Ah good to see you have some reasons

LOL, amber fluid was just happy to accept I hated Williams, you seem to need me to justify my thoughts on Betts?

[bennymacca]

My joke about Wingard aside, I struggle to comprehend why a footballer can be hated for just playing football

lol, I don't (and I don't think others?) actually hate particular footballers as people, more just dislike watching them play.. not gonna say "I dislike watching Betts play" doesn't have the same impact lol

Bewildering how anyone that supports the power could hate anyone from the crows. Or how anyone could have a crows player(s) that they can't stand.

Congratulations to Paul Bagshaw - long overdue inductee into the Australian Football Hall of Fame for Mr Magic.

One of the greats of SA Football.

For this ex-Territorian and with his nephew playing at the Bay, it was great to see Maurice Rioli inducted into the Hall of Fame as well. I remember watching WANFL highlights when I first moved to the NT in '79. That 1980 South fremantle side is one of the great teams in Australian football history (Rioli, Carter, Michael, Hardie, Vigona, Campbell). Rioli was a gun back then and he proved it making the All-Australian team again in 1988 in the Bicentennial Carnival two years after leaving the VFL.

Say what you want about the strength of the VFL compared to SANFL and WANFL in the 70s and 80s the Port Adelaide side of 1980 and the South Freo side would have played VFL finals, easily....

Not a Struttie but glad to see Bagshaw get the nod. What a brilliant player he was. I was too young to witness the Oatey era at it's peak but I'm old enough to recall the brilliance of Graham, Bagshaw and Davies in particular. I hated Davies when I was a teenager but only because The jumbo prince was too good.

regards,
