Ricky Petterd

The truth is, Petterd has been a successful, inexpensive addition to our team, and while he is playing well and getting votes off both coaches, it is up to somebody not yet in the team to improve enough to force him out. When it happens we'll all be glad because it means we have improved our list. Its the same for every player in the 22, its the nature of the game, the cycle of footy life. "we need better" "dud,Delist" is about as useful as "print more money" in an economic debate.

yes indeed. I'll say it again, bagging role-playing, peripheral players is often based on an innate, irrational desire to have a team of 22 star players. Not always of course.
 
Those bagging Ricky now would most likely have been bagging Jacko this time last year

Does the words Pot Kettle and Black mean much to you?

This is a debate among some of us. You provide only dogmatic dribble

the sheep are all out this morning
repeat a role player is a dimmer thing
ross lyon says when its your time to go ,you go, but deliver accurately
if poor skills are displayed you don't get a game
watch the suns game he showed his role playing there.chasing tail all day

At least im honest at where i think this poor afl player is at
in a short time you guys will all be back stabbing him when he lets you down.
i'm consistent and upfront

why arent you bagging dimmer for putting down two young players in front of the media and public??bloody coward lot

Dimmer was right, they had poor games.

Also his reading of how they would respond seemed pretty good with Ellis playing a blinder last week. Conca is stil rusty but he'll be fine.

You really think your relentless bagging of fringe players is on par with Dimma naming Ellis and Conca after a match ?

weak argument as conca and ellis are both young players still on the fringe
you would do this privately anyway
also why didnt he mention griggs petterd newman chaplin for their poo performances?

bad unproffessional tactics

It's called quantitative easing these days Golly, and it's all the rage (which doesn't make it smart by the way). It's an interesting metaphor because as a student of economics back in the day some bozo always stuck their hand up to ask why we don't just print more money, at the time they were laughed at until they turned redder than Eddie at a Magpie bloodbath. Pauline Hanson also asked the question, Johnny and the media vultures went into overdrive ripping Pauline's intellect to shreds. Nowadays Wall St goes into a panic at the slightest suggestion that the printing may be eased or worse, stopped altogether. It just goes to show that economics as a discipline is largely about policy on the run with no real end game. Of course there will be an end and it will probably end in tears for most.

What rubbish

Lyon lost two grand finals because he had a surfeit of role players with little skill.

Mind you he got them to those grand finals with those limited players.

Makes you think, no?

Sheepy out!

As Hardwick said, all the players, have and do, cop a much bigger pasting behind the scenes then what is said during a press conference.
