actually he said "I don't think he is overated, but by his current out put over the last couple of years he is overated" (or something very similar)

typical GT statement.

Source: Footy Classified
(not total conversation due to Forum Rules but the second GT quote is word for word)

GT: Him (Kosi) and McEvoy in the ruck is the answer I believe..

Caro: Is he overrated?

GT: No, he's definitely not overrated but I have to say that his output to this point of his career....he is overrated and he needs to have a big big year because to this point in time there's been huge expectations but he does have the ability to be one of the best in the business.

As usual GT contradicts himself in one sentence.

Oh, and I agree Kosi is overrated.

He usually doesn't like to talk too much about the Saints

Welcome to forum Medici. Any relation to Mordecai (Mordy) Bromberg, the Federal Court judge who played for the Saints?

hes not overrated but by his output is overrated so hes really only potentially rated correctly?

Is this bloke still on the Russian weight loss pills?

Exit him in......someone please.......Im sure it means out in GT land....

By who exactly, not much love on here, certainly not externally?

What station is it on, can't find it in my TV guide.

RodKeoghsLoveChild · Mon 22 Mar 2010 11:55pm

What an absolute disgrace. Everyone knows Kosi is a notoriously slow starter!

If there were stats for smashing the packs and not gaining a touch then he would be an All Australian...

Or for that matter leading in the wrong direction, leading away from the ball or just aimlessly wondering around for 4 qtrs!

Don't worry though, he is a decoy. Kosi sacrifices his offense and probable 500k a year for the team. What a bloke.

Let's have national Kosi day.

All hail the great man.

Rant over.

PS - He is still in our best 22. He will come good soon. He takes there seond best defender. He has so much potential. He is working his way in to form. He is a great mark. He is the massiah. He will show you all. He has a bad back. He played really well for 5 games back in 2005.

I don't think Footy Classified is shown in Qld. It certainly wasn't shown in Sydney when I was there.

If it's on in Brisbane, it probably would have been on Ch 9 at 10.30pm local time. It is on at 10.30 local time in Melb.

I wish it wasn't shown in Melbourne either.....

I saw two pieces of 09 GF footage I have never seen before on tonights show.......Been trying so hard to stay away from that dreaded day,and they bring up highlights to remind on the eve of round 1....make them stop, make them stop!!!!

Saint Bev · Post: # 895585Post **Saint Bev** » Tue 23 Mar 2010 12:00am

Ok thanks, use to be on the Gold Coast.

Batnoe · Post: # 895586Post **Batnoe** » Tue 23 Mar 2010 12:01am

It was on last year on one of the HD channels

Wasnt on tonight, usually on after 11.30pm, but not on any of the stations so it might be on at a later date

It started off last year that the Aussie rules footy show were on the HD stations for the first half of the year and then it changed to league on both...

Ironic considering this is the man who transformed an impressive fledgling centre half back into an injury prone ruckman.

Your TV only has one channel? Bugger! I just change the channel on my TV if I don't like a show.

Hey Rod Keogh was my neighbour for 3 years. I might know you.

What is the massiah? God of weight?

It made complete sense to me.

There's obviously two elements to being 'overrated'.

One is 'does the ability exist to match the hype and/or expectation'?

And the second is 'is the current or recent performance matching the 'hype and/or expectation'?

What he said was (or the way I interpreted it) that the answer to the first part is 'no', and the answer to the second part is 'yes'.

I'd be surprised if anyone out there disagreed with that.

Fox - wrong way around. Even the right way around isn't terribly insightful.

Comment about Kosi attracting key defender is a good one, had a good season last year, let's hope he improves (like everyone else).

Footy Classified is not being shown at all in Syd/Bris this year
