Article says Roo had ankle? I thought was knee?

Was probably the reason why he was so easily knocked off the ball


Another opportunity awaits!

Eagles site says he is now 78kg. Still needs to get on the KFC and fatten up.

That's right. So what was the reason for his disappointing form before Round 14??

As I read that I'm thinking a shorter version of Nathan Fyfe.

Although, if we get him, you can bet he'll be more like Kepler Bradley.

I think you mean taller version, Fyfe is only 183cm.

Eagles fans citing lack of discipline and extreme laziness as the reasons for his delisting. Hugely talented but no work ethic.

It sounds like more of a Caydn Beetham case than an early Dal Santo case. WC used a pretty valuable draft pick on him, desperately need a key forward and have decided that he's not worth keeping. They wouldn't delist him if he only needed a kick up the arse to get going.

If I keep this up I'll sound like Armo's #1 defender however I've got to pull you up saintspremiers and ask what proof you have that Armo has no work ethic.

I mean if that was correct why would he want to hang around for another 12 months and why would the Saints want him to do so?

No sympathy in reporting now the injuries of Kossi, Dal, Eddy etc. The coach and the club lock the place down like Fort Knox. Closed training sessions, players get told what to say to media, they are in their 'bubble' etc and then they come out with this. They cant have it both ways. No harm in explaining injuries and situations first up. What are they hoping to gain by making this public knowledge now?

And Tony Notte! Are you serious. Not to many kids have gone backwards since being drafted however he is one of them. I got shot down in flames in someone like McKinley going to North for pick 86. At least he's played (89 goals in 46 matches) as opposed to Notte's 2 matches 0 goals.

No sympathy? Fort Knox? What are you? A disgruntled Hun journo?

McKinley can't get a game at the Eagles either. They're both s***.


"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!'

Are people on here so simple minded that they actually think that work ethic or lack of it is the only factor in whether a footballer succeeds or not.

Seriously annoying how it is the one and only factor that seems to make or break these young kids careers.... According to some.

It has nothing to do with opportunity.. Injuries... Development... Talent... and a bit of luck. Always needed in the elite level.

Exactly.

And how does someone with no work ethic, or a poor work ethic, survive on the list for 4 years under Ross Lyon and then get offered another 2?

Seriously people have to move on from this urban myth :roll:
