D4 Section Ammos pt 2 (2008)

Re: D4 Section Ammos

In my view, your comparisons of players to Papa in 2007 really don't carry much weight (or size). Fact is in 2006 he was deemed the 3rd best player in A grade - which is far closer in standard to VFL than D4.

Why he felt it necessary (or was told) to play a season at St Marys is a mystery, but if it enables him to get onto a VFL list to ply his trade at the highest level he can, then good luck to him. I doubt he would give the "few players that matched him easily" a second thought.

Maybe St Mary's could only afford him for one year ;)
 
Re: D4 Section Ammos

Early last year it was rumored that he only came down to D4 to get noticed ... it worked.

In saying that I say he only came down to get into the VFL

Guys, do you think that Papa played at St Marys to be with mates, which is what I'm led to believe. For heavens sakes leave the poor guy alone, great player, yes too good for our division but all the same a delight to watch even though he cut our side apart.

Good luck to Papa I hope he make an impression in the VFL and if he doesn't make it at least he had a crack....how many good players retire from football or any sport wondering what if they had a crack at a higher level, could I have made it?

Spot on Manny. Too many coulda, shoulda, woulda blokes out there ready to knock someone when they give higher footy a crack.

Even if they don't make it, no harm in trying.

In saying that, still don't understand Papa's D4 season???????

I don't know that many here have questioned his playing ability - it's a strange move to drop to D4, and I have questioned his motives being solely to be noticed and then play at a higher level.

I reckon he wanted to play a season with some mates and a league b & f was a fair chance as an added bonus. He missed out on a flag, but that happens. And now he's back to having a serious crack at his footy.

I don't know him all that well personally, but I think you're right

Re: D4 Section Ammos

maybe if someone knows him they might ask him??????? and get the real reason. he could be a bighead looking for easy glory or just taking a break from full on serious stuff to be with mates.:confused:
 
Re: D4 Section Ammos

how about we set up another thread where papa's name isnt mentioned; where people stop offering useless predictions; and most importantly where ruckmachine can stop submitting foolish posts that misrepresent his choice of sexuality........

Don't know what I've done to offend you Buffalo. Maybe it is because you have never beaten BHN in 4 attempts

Foolish posts that misrepresent my sexuality????? Point them out.

If u dont like whats being posted, dont read it. What would u prefer? we talk about how "good" u are, or the current drop in value of shares on the asx? go do a fingerpainting or something.
 
Re: D4 Section Ammos

How do you know you don't like what has been posted until you have read it?

I think you should pop back to your D3 thread, where your team now finds itself due to the remarkable tony-boyce led success of 2007.

I would love to if any1 posted anything on it. It would be good just to hear some talk of footy, rather than bagging fellow posters.. Speaking of footy, is the collingwood adelaide nab cup mach really being played in dubai tonight?
 
Re: D4 Section Ammos

I like Lakey's idea for a preseason comp for D4 (from the other thread I am not reading).
We only need one ground for a weekend and could make a carnival of it.
Top idea.
With some of the quality administrators involved at D4 clubs, I see this being a real possibility.

Waz / Chicken.... over to you.

If we could get a sponsor for it and have a prize for 1st 2nd 3rd then it might be worth doing. It would be awesome if we could hold it at punt rd or glenferrie oval...
