You continue to make disparaging comments about Newnes, even when Newnes has played well and better than a few others selected who make more mistakes than Newnes.
Those other players must be your favourites, and naming Newnes as the weakest link is probably deflecting attention from ... well have a look at our bench, and our emergencies; they're right before your eyes.
Bondi, normally I do ignore a fair bit and have no problem with difference of opinion. I actually like the banter most of the time. My issue is with both of these sentences from you!
My last line wasn’t directed at you but more to the general posters who are taking pot shots at some of our players who have given their all. For instance, 12 months ago, the same posters where singing Casboult as the best utility in the game and now they want him shot. Of course they completely ignore that he has been playing on one leg and only played because of need!! As for Murphy, I respect anyone that has played this game, let alone someone who has captained our club and played over 250 games. I’m not saying his perfect, no one is but he has done it bloody hard within this club. I haven’t heard anything negative with Hawthorn getting Buryone to 400. If you have seen any of their games, I think ha was lucky to be able to walk these days but the fact is, they honor their players. Something we need to learn.
Newnes, Cottrell, Gibbons shouldn’t be in our 22 and IMO will be luckily to survive this year. That’s my opinion and I bet they all survive but it’s my opinion from what I have seen. I have also been vocal on Ed’s role but I have not been disrespectful to him or any other poster because they don’t agree with me.
I’ve said my part and yep, you are definitely someone I would not have a problem catching up with. Your positive attitude is something I had many a years ago until this club decided to rebuild 3 times in 20 years and flowered every one of them up because they just don’t get it.
