Pop goth country slasher type, yeah?
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Seems the gap between his good and bad games is too big at his best he could be AFL level but his best comes with long stints of being another country footy plodder ... WAFL is looking shaky for him

Of course they arent but this bloke was rated less chance to make it like about another 100k people playing footy.St Igmata wrote:Yes and of course most rookies will make it... all the others were sure things.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:Seems the gap between his good and bad games is too big at his best he could be AFL level but his best comes with long stints of being another country footy plodder ...

i have no opinion on manson, but i do find it amusing that supporters who've seen little more than a few minutes on youtube have such a strong opinion about a player.St Igmata wrote:Yes and of course most rookies will make it... all the others were sure things.
and that they refuse to listen to the collective opinions of 18 teams' worth of recruiting staff who've had a close look at the guy and decided that he's not worth even a rookie spot.

too high risk. Yeah he looks nice in that video but obviously hasnt got the attitude! Why risk it? attitude counts for 75% i reckon. You can have the talent but if you dont know how to use the talent or want to use it then you are nbo better off than a talent less bum.
Markworthy!! He could be the next legend of stkilda i reckon. His attitude has got to pick up and if it does OMG what a player he'll be! Thats as much risk as we need to take IMO.

Just reporting what I heard ... I personally though he was worth the risk with the PR we could get off it alone but from the person I spoke to he reckons they way it sits now with him he is headed for a future of being the "suburban footy legend "St Igmata wrote:Yes and of course most rookies will make it... all the others were sure things.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:Seems the gap between his good and bad games is too big at his best he could be AFL level but his best comes with long stints of being another country footy plodder ...

Yeah they are so fantastic. They are that good that Barlow. JPod and many more were overlooked by these so called gun recruiters.bergholt wrote:i have no opinion on manson, but i do find it amusing that supporters who've seen little more than a few minutes on youtube have such a strong opinion about a player.St Igmata wrote:Yes and of course most rookies will make it... all the others were sure things.

I guess guys like Milne and Mitchell were just lucky.
