he is a better kick and costs $300k a year less than jamtin.
Whatever we're paying Armitage, it's probably 300k too much.

Armitage could well be a better kick but when you can't consistantly get the bloody thing, then what the point of being a good kick.
Give the guy a break!!!!

Some of his stats up until a week or so ago were equal to those of Ball and he is not the same age and doesn't have the same number of games under his belt. He just needs some time to continue to develop his game.

We lost
Ball or Pick #30
Maguire
Clarke
Pick #16

Gained
Patterson - what the???
Lovett - Huge Risk (not worth it)
J.Smith - huge risk (worth it)
Pick #61

Good work.
Agreed on Goose.
Agree on Pattison (who's Patterson?)
X got offered a longer deal & chose to leave
Ball got offered a bigger deal... Lyon called the filth's bluff. Totally support Ross

Lovett was worth the risk (if anything our lack of pace currently on display is proof).

Have a look back at the end of the season & you will be able to make a more valued judgment.

Armo is better than Ball.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Sorry but it's a very poor arguement you're putting forward.

Ball's a good AFL player and Armitage is JUST a VFL player!!!
