Yeah, I watch plenty of other games too, it's hardly something to brag about. I dare say syd, Bondi and I have seen more of the Swans and Giants than just about anyone here. I reckon I can discuss the teams who play on Ch7 regularly with reasonable authority, and have little to contribute about the likes of WCE,GCS and NM who are rarely shown.
One thing you (keogh) keep telling us is that Martin is lazy, but those who go to the games tell us he works his arse off and does a lot of the things that don't make the stat sheet or are out of the TV frame. Would you at least concede that those at the ground have greater authority in this aspect of the game?
If that’s the case then is it a coaching instruction
Dumb play up the field
Or a complete load of shit. He is just overrated
Love to know from someone who is there every week
Come on mate.
Keogh. We are a community. TC Community.
We all agree to disagree then disagree on that too.
I post what I see at games when I do go. I think I've seen a lot of live games this year and last, but I trust the views of others at the same game too. I dont call their view a load of shit. I work out over time if they are bias or not.
You are not being respectful with your commentary to your community. You're AI Carlton mates.
I tolerate you because I respect you.
I dont call you a luny because I choose to see the merit in some things that you say, but will argue against the parts I think are lacking merit.
From what Ive seen, live, and I share with you, Martin runs more kms than most HFs, opens up the ground from hard running, defends, then runs back and repeats for no possessions, but you see the roll he just played in that passage. He had purple patches. Then goes quiet. But those Purple patches are GOLD! He works damn hard. A real professional on the field. Not lazy as you say, and got no idea why you would say it from TV land. I saw what I saw every time I've seen him live, and know what I miss on TV, so knowing that, I view his skills and little things I see in that rectangle called a TV, knowing its a small part of the on field goings on, and FMD he's a goer. Martin isn't a bad footballer as you say. Could've been an A Grader if he tolerated the hits he cops in AFL. But he's a great player for us IF he could stay fit. No joke. D grade output because of injury, but B grade player is all his body allowed.
Trust some of the posters a tad...a bit...or at least respect their call for more than a load of shit. Sure, you may see it differently, but try and find some human compassion, man, and think someone may have seen a different angle or quality, and thank them. Isn't why we are here?..in part?.
Nothing is absolute from whatever chair you're watching, unless a player squibs s contest right before your eyes of course then its right there for all to see: That's TV and a live experience.
