Opinion Commentary & Media VI

[Caracas]

If you want to choose one of the few instances that the small unathletic midfielder works, then that’s ok.
But I could point to triple the amount of times that it doesn’t work.

At this stage, this is all moot. The recruitment die has been cast. When the ball bounces at 1.45 on Saturday afternoon, Will will most likely be there and he gets his opportunity to change the narrative. My fingers are firmly crossed.

I’ve said Will can have a long and successful career, and I hope he does. Cunners and Jy have never/will never be in genuine all Australian conversation. Will will most likely end up around here imo.

Using the “give him time and he’ll be a gun” is more appropriate for an LDU who’s glimpses suggested he could be a top liner earlier on. Will unfortunately hasn’t shown many glimpses outside of a couple tidy kicks.

I think you need to look more betterer.

LDU was basically written off as a pick 4 bust by people within the club.

Who inside the club wrote LDU off?

I've never heard that from anywhere else.

So Kane Cornes now a columnist with The Age - let the hate grow more.

One look at his whiny, directionless axe grinding and repetitive, hypocritical and petty agenda pushing and obviously they'd have felt they've finally found their succession plan for Caroline Wilson.

That's an interesting comment. Using the blurry criteria of smoothest mover post-Wells, I'd say NDS/Higgins, TT, Harper and now Sheezel would be in that conversation too.

 

[The Dingrel]

The club is of the opinion that it's just going to take Will some time. He needs games to build his match fitness. He's played 1 season of footy in the past 3. It's not rocket science.

Thankfully he's got the character and work ethic to push through this bizarre narrative that he's not good enough.

I will continue buying the Age and the HUN, but I buy it like this...

My cat enjoys the Andrew Bolt pages and now he can review Korne-hole's work as well.

Amazing how these 'experts' have time to be on radio, tv and print.

Cunnington should have been & its bullshit that he hasn’t been in the conversation more.

You can do anything and everything if you put zero research or energy into it.

Imagine having to write as Cornholio for a living.
Actually, that’s a pretty easy gig, just be a campaigner.

 

[speedy]

Do other clubs cop these constant vindictive attacks from certain individuals in the mainstream media? The level at which dildo, Caro & corn-Francis are willing to go is beyond belief. Hopefully these 3 clowns keep escalating so we can do something about it legally.

use her method - slow news week 'let write a North story'

 

[northbergs]

Gaz gave a bit of a clip to Corn this morning. Reckons he’s sick of hearing about excuses for Jason, “everything is someone else’s fault. They want to be really careful with continuing to blame everyone but Jason, and I’m talking directly to you Corn”.

Reckon Gaz knows the s**t that North had to put up with last year.

And Corn Toad no doubt hears the ‘sanitised’ version from his ex-team mate - Fabian.

Corn wasn’t on, he was talking to whispy, I can’t remember how they got onto it, but it was definitely a ‘be careful how hard Port people are blaming North’ about what happened.

I’m guessing most people know what went on, and North are staying classy by not putting it out there officially, but if they keep going North will be forced into putting it out there.

That's a pretty interesting chart in it's own right. Not so much the relatively linear trend from about game 50 onwards, but something must have happened from the start of Schimma's career at North in '73 and over '74/5 - it looks like a new era of football was forming.

Or something.

 

[hsquid]

Will Phill [is] certainly not as talented as a player you’d expect at pick 3. Just based on athleticism, physical dimensions, future upside.

His athleticism, physical dimensions and future upside are exactly the same as they were known to be when he was selected. Maybe he just isn't/wasn't the sort of player you like?

More data points as more games are played, less variation from outliers.
