Players you don't rate

Re: Players you don't rate

I would put most of Essendons list in this thread and the whole Essendon football club in general,especially Dodoro in the most over rated in everything not just players.

Yep. His #1 draft pick, McGrath, was dropped this week but not a skerrick of the normal media scrutiny....

Carlton also dropped Weitering as well a couple of weeks back.

Yep and I've seen a lot more media scrutiny on Weitering and Carlton's list than McGrath and Essendon's list, which goes to my point about Essendon and Dodoro seemingly being less scrutinised/criticised than others (which is probably a good thing actually as it allows them to wallow around in self delusion about what great shape their list is in/what great recruiting they're doing).

Especially pertinent when one side was widely predicted as top four, while the other was almost unanimously touted as spooners or thereabouts.

Was listening to ABC radio yesterday and Mark Maclure was scathing in his assessment of Stringer's lack of effort. Cutting him loose was the right decision based on what we've seen on the field this year let alone any other considerations.

He belongs in this thread too. The softest player I have ever seen.

While I agree with him on Stinger, he also said Liam Jones is a fantastic player.....

I personally think Maclure talks a lot of BS.

I love Maclure whether wrong or right at least he doesn't sit on the fence and give the usual one liners.
He tells it how he sees it, no sugar coating.

Maclure tells it how it is, he is a miserable old bastard, but I love listening to him.

Re: Players you don't rate

My first two nominees are:
Callum Mills.
Darcy Parish.

I don't mind the thread but we are talking about 2x 3rd year players here. I agree that both are 'vanilla' players - but Mills is fearless and Parish very hard running...I guess I understand the 'hate' for Mills given he is an undoubted media 'darling' but Parish is just a young mid trying to make his way in an outmatched midfield...

Both are OK.

Surprised Lewis Taylor hasn't rated a mention. Runs around in circles all day. Nice handball to Bailey Dale standing the mark last week too

But, but, but ... Lewis Taylor won the rising star!! He's better than Bontempelli!!

Telling it how you see it versus telling it how it is are two very different things.........I think he does the former overwhelmingly, but each to their own.

When things like that happen it disappoints me to see our players not rub it in and give him an earful. Their "Tough" guys went after our kids all game, when we have a chance to let our opponents have it we don't. I'd love to see a lot more mongrel in these boys and that was an opportunity to really rub their noses in it.

And yeah Lewis Taylor is rubbish.

It's like "speaking your mind" as opposed to just saying the first thing that comes into your head. A lot of people (often including the speakers themselves) confuse one for the other.
