I will, and I do, and I'll explain my modus operandi, and braithy will just have to avoid reading the folowing:
I was criticised for my call on Silvagni in the reserves for suggesting he looked rusty, and not in good form with stray kicking, which is what I saw. I know a little bit about footy and what SOS can bring.
Turns out he wasn't right, and did strain his knee again. Explains the wayward kicking, including 15m passes and my view.
I try and explain my position with SOS evidence because it shits me when someone says so and so had a bad game last week as if its fact, when in fact, they haven't weighed all the evidence and role the player played. Throw away lines are easy, and a nonsense without reason.
I was criritcised posting what I saw of LOB, as was called out for outright bagging.
I've been criticised about my views on Dow's defensive game, despite the fact Ive been a fan from round 1 this year and stuck up for his recall since then.
I got criticised about my views on Durdin and Motlop with their influence waning, and not good enough because they are just developing and maybe tiring, and they did get dropped eventually.
I got criticised about my views on Fisher, and finally he was dropped, and all of the sudden admission he is weak defensively.
'
Doesn't mean I dont like the player or disrespect the skillset they bring to the team, but I feel there's the parts of the game they need to perform in and that's where judgement is handed down looking at the evidence.
We have the ball, They have the ball, the ball is neutral. Simple game.
Every player has a role to play in each of the above periods: defensively or offensively.
There's more to a players game than raw disposal stats if you look at the game and player's role.
I explained my disappointment with the club's fixation on Gresham as a FA, and the response was to calm down, and just read the crap about his 2021 season. Just because he WAS good 3 years ago, and not that good this year, doesn't equal success at Carlton. Now I read club is cooling on him. I'm not surprised.
I know Vossy's preference for the 2 rucks, and explained why, and some posters took that as I don't like SOS. I never said anything of the kind. I'm just posting what I was told and to prepare posters of the inevitable.
In fact I like Sidex' input because he backs it up with data. I criticise his data if its used to suit an argument rather than looking at the now.
I'm going to call up flaws in poster's argument or claims as I see them, and if the poster bites instead of discussing the flaw, big deal.
There's going to be a lot of faves miss a spot in the Finals. They are obvious. Get use to it.
and thanks Mickstar. I'm on this site because of posters like you. Old timers union.
