I have never praised livo Mr Dog, all I am saying is that Setanta is still unproven and an unknown quantity - unlike you who thinks he is already a star.
I have always said that I love his enthusiasm, attitude and application, lets hope it turns into something special - he's not there yet,
Now as for your boyfriend Bower - if he had half of Santy's application he would be much better off
I never said Setanta is a star right this minute, but he is certainly capable of it. The point is, you are so quick to knock and criticse these blokes without giving them any recognition for what they have achieved to date and what they can achieve in the future based on their obvious talents... with some good coaching. Thats what makes your opinions boring and ill conceived. Some forsight rather than poor judgement would be appreciated. How about looking at some of the positives and encouraging these guys.
whats funny is that you are having a crack at me for being negative, while at the same time resorting to personal insaults. I'm glad you're not on the selection committee either - you'd have the little league playing cos they all try so hard.
I actually have praised Santy, but for the right reasons, I have not placed unrealistic expectations on him either, I recognise his talent (largely made up of his determination and effort) but I can also pinpoint his shortcomings (which are all a factor of not growing up playing this game)
Do I want him sacked - No
Do I want him to have more time - Yes
Do I think he will progress and have a 150 plus career - Yes, but as an honest contributor.
At this point all that Bower has achieved is getting drafted and playing a handful of games - yes a great achievement in itself, I'll be happy to acknowledge his achievements beyond this should they occur.
Mr Dog, please don't tell me you're one of these "I never bag players" types. Come on, who have you not liked that much in the past?
Not sure where my personal insults were KK. Sorry if you feel they are there. I disagree with your opinion and how quickly you arrive at them. I'm not sure you'll find a more positive person out there than me. The only player I have ever bagged is Ackland... because of his lack of commitment during the game. I have said a few players won't make it, but that is based on a very thoughout analyis, not flippant remarks like you generally make. Bentick is one of them that I have consistently believed will struggle to be a regular, but I never ever bag him. And I don't just like Bower and Setanta because they try hard. I like them because they are very athletic and have huge upsides. That's what disappoints me about your analysis. You don't look deep enough into it. If a guy doesnt come up and have 20+ possies and dominate in his first year or two, you write them off.
My expecations of Sentata are not unrealistic. I know the O'hAilpins and I know there desire to excell not to be mediocre. Where you are wrong is that you believe his talent is purely based on his determination - what a crock. The guy is fast, strong and has skill. All that he needs now is to learn the intricacies of the game. Kouta was pretty slow to come on. If it was up to you, he woulda been given the flick in 1993.
Btw, does it make you angry that Bower was one of our best today... sheesh. In only his 3rd year I can already see significant progress.
