Put him on Cooney this week and see how good he is. When will hero worshippers learn?
bs, he's a good kick and has a go he will be a good player Cooney was about at the sam level when his age...

A good kick eh? What is your definition of that: Can kick more than 10 metres? Needs only to kick with one foot? Can kick within a thirty metre arc?
And Cooney. Do you know the age difference between the two?

Around 3 years, what's your point?
Was it that before this year, Cooney was lazy, soft and a terrible waste of a no.1 draft pick?

Eh... you can't be for real can you? Its not even a debate, he's an AFL footballer and he'll get better and better if he continues to work hard. What's there to be negative about??

Less than three years. My point is: Cooney had skills on both sides, could run fast and mark BEFORE he was drafted and it has STILL taken him three years to show that talent. Armitage had none of those but was drafted because he played one game without an ear.
I would be be happy if people stopped referring to him as a "gun". I suspect he would be too.
