will be a 150 gamer at st kilda book mark this page and by this time next year he will have shown you all

He's not all that quick.

And with RL at the helm he probably will be a 150 gamer... RL certainly does like him...

I agree with this thread, think he has a future in AFL.

Riewoldting · Mon 17 Sep 2007 7:31pm

Christ, that was random.

Mods please lock this utterly pointless thread.

due to RL's raging hardon over him, i fear the OP may be right,

spert · Post: # 458205Post **spert** » Mon 17 Sep 2007 8:29pm

He will be an important player for us over the next few years..just needs a good pre-season and confidence after his bad shoulder injury which according to some on this forum, you should be able to immediately recover from and get back to top form. Looking forward to 2008.

rogerwa · Post: # 458209Post **rogerwa** » Mon 17 Sep 2007 8:32pm

nothing to do with his shoulder spert...simple case of not being good enough

if hes in our best 25 we are stuffed

And a massive injection of football ability ... other than that you're on the money!

Not many better rookies in the AFL. Number one rookie this year. People who do not rate hime have a look at his form.

St DAC · Post: # 458223Post **St DAC** » Mon 17 Sep 2007 8:45pm

Attard was far better value as a rookie than Jones.

A player who cannot kick the football accurately at all is a liability no matter how quick he supposedly is. Sadly, Jones is that player.

Lets just draft him quickly before other clubs take him.

Ha.....When you returning from Mars there brother....

....Gee i hope your being sarcastic....

He's a West Aussie ... let's throw in a first round draft pick and trade him to West Coast for Judd

mad saint guy · Mon 17 Sep 2007 8:55pm

Can't kick, can't take possession of the footy, can't cope with pressure, can't make a tackle stick and is just a terrible footballer. Should never play for us again, but Lyon is in love with him so I think he will probably play at least 12 games next year.

rogerwa · Post: # 458249Post **rogerwa** » Mon 17 Sep 2007 9:00pm

other clubs(including ourselves) have had 100 picks each yr for 5 yrs yet have passed on him
not good enough

maybe its an indication of where we stand today...our sights have been lowered so much that 9th aint too bad & the likes of jones,sampi etc are good enough to get a game....maybe they are good enough to take us to 9th or thereabouts

lets get back to raising our sights & climbing the ladder & not stagnating or falling further behind

Riewoldting · Mon 17 Sep 2007 9:04pm

Where does Hasleby sit in your thoughts Rog?

Hasleby Armitage Ball inside mids
Dal Santo Hayes Montagna outside/pacy mids
Gilbert Gram wings
Baker Birss taggers
Jones back home in WA

Hell yeah I'd take Hasleby

rogerwa · Post: # 458272Post **rogerwa** » Mon 17 Sep 2007 9:16pm

would not have birss in my top 25...he's not good enough to get a game for bloody footscray

haselby ...yes

jones has footy smarts he gathers alot of the ball he knows how to position himself. 40 percent of his disposals this season were contested ball if he works on his disposal and under pressure ability he will be a future star

I agree looks like a star in the making. Hopefully him and Sweeney come good next season. Both very promising.

What, all 59 of them?

40 per cent of F*** all is still F*** all.

Agreed shouldnt be off the ground other players like Lenny and Dal should also come off. Give all players a go.
