Thanks for telling me your opinion.35forever wrote:I know form would dictate Ball coming in as a replacement, but I see JT as a more natural replacement for Adams, though I admit it's unlikely. To me Ball looks shot for this season, seems to be another in the group of guys who have had horror seasons, a la Swanny and a few others. Bally has been easily among our top 20 for mine since he lobbed from St.Kilda, but this year he just seems to have forgotten how to play. I find this mystifying. Normally guys start to lose a yard of pace as the years advance, but to have two key mids just go from champions to fighting to hold a spot is just plain strange, & I'm yet to hear a rational explanation. Ball keeps showing that he still has the goods at VFL level, but seems not to be able to compete in the ones.
Still, I'd rather see a guy on his way up, like Kennedy or Thomas, despite a less-than-stellar season get the nod. Damn shame we can't use the opportunity to get a look at Freeman, Karnezis or Sharenberg, but for gods sake give Martin a full game, I really do believe that kid might have something very special.

I think you might find that he does ok the next few weeks. in my mind, there is only room in the team for one of Ball and adams and that only one can succeed at what they do best, because at any given time there is only one pill to dive on. both adams and Ball are serviceable in other roles, but can only be considered great players if they are the ones in the role of in and under guy.35forever wrote:I know form would dictate Ball coming in as a replacement, but I see JT as a more natural replacement for Adams, though I admit it's unlikely.

Usually I do, but typing on my phone I try to keep it short and sweet. I read plenty on here with no sources mate. How you would interpret that as seemingly trying to pass off information that was readily available to anyone who read any of the footy sites or watched the news as my own secret information is a bit staggering for me, but I'm glad I was able to clear things up for you.

No issue with posting updates mate, I just got a chuckle at your presentation style, that's all.
Most people would say "The Afl website is saying", or "the Magpies twitter feed has said" rather than making it sound like they spoke to some secret person who shared it only with you on the sly and had special secret information .........
