| Post subject: | What is Class? |
Every year when discussing potential draftees, recruits, what have you, we hear: "Classy onballer with slick skills" or similar. But what the hell is class? Is it jus someone who looks good with the ball? Someone who can kick though a hole in a flyscreen from 55 metres? Or just some outside player who never goes in to get the bloody ball? It's a nothing word. Is Carrazzo classy? Is Murphy? Who decided what's class and what isn't? Consistent performance week in, week out - that's class to me. Flashy skills, getting the ball only 15 times a game, even if you hit every target, it's not what wins games. It's what ices it. Can't kick goals if you don't have the ball. So - what the hell is class, and who definies what it is? |

Class is difficult to define; it's an instinctual feeling for a football follower as much as anything. One player has set off my Class Radar more than any other in recent times, one with an innate ability to look a bracket above those around him, to set his own agenda, and that's Bryce Gibbs. The name, like Hird and Voss, will be synonymous with class before too long. |

I think class can be defined as when a player makes the extraordinary look so simple. No fuss, no frills - just getting on with the job. |

Class is Matty Lappin retiring a Bluebagger and not leaving because he didn't like the coach or President. |

Or not leaving a club simply for money's sake in the short term, but staying for loyalty to the club and your teammates. |
