Spot on.

Jeez, justifications of a player whom had 3 possessions and was subbed out in third quarter of a Grand Final. He is the last of my "nemesis" players and pray everyday that when I look at Guernsey 11 again I would rather see illuminaries such as:

* Gerald Betts
* Mark Dreher
* Garry Shaw
* Mark Bayliss

Glenn Howard, Houlahan, Barnett and Athos all say Hi!

The only bloke to do the #11 jumper any real justice was O'Bree.
Gee, I wonder who Malthouse gifted his spot in the 2010 grand finals to?

No but I have ticket stubs for 40 years and that allows me to dislike a player and prefer selection alternatives sycophant!

The statement that "Blair was probably the main reason we lost."
was a bit of creative license on my part.
Not quite baiting but still a little fishing.
My point is this.
Whenever Blairs worth to the club comes up.
We get he was a member of the flag team of 2010.
Nothing is ever mentioned about his horror game of 2011
nor that he was really only average in 2010.
It is 2017 next year and the hobbit has dined out on 2010 for far too long.
For the record Blair got 22 disposals in 3 grand final matches over 2010 and 2011.
That is an average of 7 disposals per game.
You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.
Blair is not an AFL standard player.
He belongs in the VFL.
Being wrong is not really "creative license" or "fishing". However, on the substance of your post, I don't really disagree with you. Blair is a solid ordinary player who puts in and plays his role (and there is no harder role on the ground than small forward) , but he is at the lower end of our best 22, and hopefully we will have better players coming through who can displace him in that role.

It's just that the statement (made by several people) "we will not win finals with this bloke" is fact-free, absolutely 100% demonstrably untrue, and it should not go unchallenged.

but sitting on your fat arse typing about people that are clearly better than you makes you what?
makes me laugh that people like some of you actually think your opinions carry more weight and knowledge than professional sportsmen who have spent their entire lives inside the game.

sycophant? lmao you watched a lot of footy!! me too!! you dislike our players? I can't think of one I dislike, some of them let me down and some I wish where better than they are but can't say I dislike any of them, what's that like, you go to the game hoping we win but hope some of us suck while we do it? "nemesis" "Don't Like" are you sure you are following the right team, maybe you should head over to punt road I hear they like that shit.
