Re: Why Haven't these Guys got a Jumper

I'd give Hoops another year on the Rookie List, and offer McHarg a rookie position for next season. McHarg's fast, got a bit of X factor, already ahead of Daniels who has had 2 years. I was happy he got a second year but just hasn't progressed enough and doubt a third would be a good investment.

Considering the outs, I'm happy with all three. Markovic, Hooper and Rose. Baptism by Bombers beside Bulldog Brothers being best beginnings.

For those advocating Rose play against the Bombers, how can he? He's still on the rookie list?

An alias? He can be Adam Cooney. They both have red hair.

When Ronnie Atkinson was manager of Sheffield Wednesday his run-of-the-mill striker got KO'd. Atkinson asked the doctor how he was.

The doctor said, "he's physically OK, but he dooesn't know who he is".

Atkinson replied, "Good. Tell him he's Pele and get him back out there".

Well, it looks like I've started the "HORNETS' nest to Buzz.
I have actually seen all three Guys that I've mentioned on a number of occasions.
For those of you that reckon that they are too slow.
Get the hell out of your wheelchairs and have a sprint against them.
I know I'd come Last!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give the Rookies a go.
Just like other teams that seem to be going better than US

I've got an idea....GF day, instead of that sprint they do... a wheelchair sprint for the retiring players. Bugger the motorcade, push them round in chairs and then do a sprint. Fastest old man wins.

I'd be willing to act as judge. I've a bad feeling I won't be needing to cheer for my team that day

You know, I've heard this 100 times, and it never fails to make me chuckle.

I'm liking this thread. Some good points and counters raised.

Irrelevent - it's the speed against opponents that matters (in Markovic's case, leading forwards), not us in the stands.

Hooper's top speed isn't a major concern, because his acceleration is fantastic which is all that matters in a crwoded F50 arc. Rose is passable but not lightning.

Markocivc would be ok in a crowded F50 but teams often try to get the ball in quick and create space which may trouble him at the highest level. I see a bit of early-career Jason Cloke in him to be honest.

PM to Andrew. Can I get a turbo charged motorised chair? I may have a chance then.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill, everybody knows that. That is why Michael Barlow and James Podsiadly were thought to be no good.

Can always make up some negatives about a player and make it stick like stinky mud. Like, "too slow", always a good one and "Wouldn't suit our style of play", another goodie. "Wouldn't be good as a crumber because he gets most of his goals through marks", was a classic I saw somewhere.

Too many influential people with SFB, screwing things up for the club.

The following players would never be picked up because of poor stats.
1. Stephen Milne - #1 in comp for Skill Errors, #1 in comp for Missed Shots, #4 in comp for Kicks Direct to Opponent as a Forward, #1 in comp for Frees Against as a Forward.
2. Ryan O'Keefe - #4 in comp as frees against as a forward and #6 in comp for kicks direct to an opponent.
3. Alan Didak - #6 in the comp and Collingwood's worst at critical errors.
4. Eddie Betts and Garlett - #1 and #2 ranked Carlton players in skill errors.
5. Steve Johnson - makes more skill errors than any other Geelong player.
6. Leon Davis - is the #1 Collingwood player for giving away frees.

--------> PATRICK ROSE <--------- This boy can play. He is being missed because of negativity and maybe continually playing Brad Johnson who has gone way past his 'use-by' date.

I can see some entertainment ratings records if they had to run a gauntlet of screaming, upset vocal hecklers who lost heaps of money on the retirees over the years. Producer would have to hover over the beep button with it going out live.
