Sharks are Circling

[rodgerfox]

Rodger...you have to face it.....Petracca is a good player and a fair bit better than McCartin. You are on a hiding to nothing with your logic on this issue. Pendlebury has flogged a lot better players than Petracca over the years and thats a fact. You were given a description of what football fierceness is and you chose to wipe it, the poster even named some players as an example.

?

Are you directing this post to me?

[st.byron]

the other young fella around here who asked for support
got rounded on 'for not already knowing the depths of our despair'

u guys get a taste 'after' the kite flying exercise and melt away

Yes, Petracca is a far better midfielder than Paddy. Paddy is a much better key forward.

Look on the bright side if Butters comes back in Gents.

If we are 10 goals down at half time, I'll know where to score some coke at the game and then we can go out and at least salvage the night.

You'll find that Butters is now sober. Getting sober after a bad addiction requires a fair amount of guts and self discipline.

There are a multitude of very high functioning people that have substance issues. Including Politicians, Judges, Surgeons!!! and particularly creative types.

Yes, Petracca is a far better midfielder than Paddy. Paddy is a much better key forward.

They are both tracking at an average of 0.9 goals per game, so on par as a key forward.

Ha Ha. Petracca plays on the best back as a key forward does he?

[saintadamski]

Just keep watching that video and pretend he's wearing red white and black. Might help your assessment and outlook on our current crop....or maybe it won't

It, surprisingly, actually won't make any difference at all to my views...I've seen him plenty of times live, we've all seen him do some good stuff, he's a good player. I wouldn't be surprised if he improves, but would we be a vastly different team with other good Melbourne players like Vince, Jones or Tyson in our side? I don't see him ahead of 40% of their list at the moment...he's only a focus on here because the media loves pumping a high draft pick, and we passed him up in pursuit of a rare key position player.

You don't see Petracca ahead of 40% of our list??
Can you please name the minions of amazingly talented footballers ahead of him at the Saints....I can't wait to hear this

I'd re-read my post if I was you.

Are you saying Paddy has excellent defensive skills?

Not so funny - Petracca would kick more goals IMO
It's endearing the love of Paddy on this forum...but delusional

Our list is terrible...as you well know. Despite the fact I feel Melbourne has some outstanding players on their list with which to compare the Tracta, there's not many on ours. He'd no def be a handy inclusion on our list, but I can also see the club's thinking when they chose to go for a KP player. My point is that he would be handy, but being a 'poor man's Cripps' would unlikely dramatically change where we are at the moment...I believe that Brayshaw would have made more of a difference to our team, but at the time our recruiters would have envisaged him kicking to Josh Bruce alone in the F50. Enter Paddy...

[asiu]

obvious what it means

u flew a kite for the young turks

but its all too hard = snowflakes

the other young fella around here who asked for support
got rounded on 'for not already knowing the depths of our despair'

u guys get a taste 'after' the kite flying exercise and melt away

thats good work all round

as u can tell , i'm very impressed.

Me thinks you are shooting the messenger dear boy

not at all

got nothing to do with jax
(besides his kite flying)


shostack i called a snowflake
tascone always controlled the money
coz he owns Chemist Warehouse

shossy has been played by a Caaaaarlton man
: and all my earlier enquiries regarding 'the crew'
were aimed at who was ACTUALLY driving the bus.

Carlton like to think of us as their liitle minnion
in the true fight against big bad Collingwood

[asiu]

surely if some internet couldabeen from the black blocks of Van Diemans Land can see the possibilities of shifty sh1t afoot he / she / gt should ask the questions

which he / she / gt did

jax had nout to do with that bit either

[chico2001]

yes Rodger...it was directed at you..I put your name right up front.....

Asiu, with all due respect you need to be aware of all the behind the scenes that are going on to know the real story.
Happy for you to PM me and take the conversation offline as your interpretation of events is completely misguided.
I have strong connections to people that are involved with what is going on.
No snowflakes anywhere I promise!

Are you sure Tascone owns Chemist Warehouse and isn't just the CEO?
A bit like a previous president of ours - Ian McLeod who was the CEO of Coles rather than an owner.

[rodgerfox]

yes Rodger...it was directed at you..I put your name right up front.....

I saw my name, which is why I responded. But the content makes absolutely no sense in regards to what I've posted in this thread. None whatsoever.

[chico2001]

It relates directly what you have posted about Petracca and McCartin which were connected to other posters. So forget the Question marks and "none whatsover" get some one to check it for you and then you might be able to make sense of it. Too smart by half.

[Teflon]

f*** petracca
Tascome is where it’s at !!!!
We can’t even attract Admin....

I'll give you a chance to re-read my posts before I respond.

[chico2001]

I did, well prior to that most recent post of yours. I dont need any chances.

[Linton Lodger]

I got some inside info this morning, which called Trout's demise among other things. The Petracca non-recruitment wasn't touched on, however aside from that Vazelo's info is sadly on the money, including Billings' old man's antics.

30 goals from 32 games as a 'key forward' makes you a fairly s*** key forward.
