Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yep, that's it, there's an 'agenda against him'.

It's got nothing to do with the fact that he:

- Has thus far struggled with his ball handling
- Struggles to control the ruck when in tackles
- Doesn't bend the line on impact
- Doesn't possess a notable offload
- Is barely serviceable as a link man
- is frequently pinged for marker or offside indiscretions
- Is wildly inconsistent in terms of output from week to week

He's a serviceable and versatile player who can fill a role. He puts his body on the line and competes well on effort plays.

But he's not especially strong, fast or impactful; doesn't possess a dangerous offload or skilful soft hands. He doesn't particularly whack in defence, nor does he move laterally in a manner that is impressive.

He's ok. And that's fine. We need a few ok players in our 17 each week to do a job. He's got a home there for now.

But all this talk of 'agendas' and 'hate' is so stupid. Put the pearls down and start watching football objectively.

It's not that dramatic.

I agree there isn't an agenda as such. Why would there be? I also think the negative points you made about Alex's game are correct, however I think you have emphasised them to a far more negative degree then what is actually happening on the field just to emphasise your point. Just my opinion.

Geez the Blore fans are quiet

Blore is proving a massive loss. It's offset by Olam going ok, but it would have been great to get Olam and keep Blore in a perfect world.

Everyone is gonna hate me for this but he is one of the best bench forwards in the game

That’s enough internet for you today young man.

I have, you're right.

And it was more based on past form rather than current, which has him playing well. Something I'm glad about.

It was more in direct response to the ludicrous suggestions made re: agendas.

I thought the claim that he’s the best bench forward in the game was more of an eyebrow raiser

Not even the best at our club

I reckon a statement like that is equally as worrying as it is hilarious.

Samuela is eating him alive...

... And Seyfarth is playing pretty well.

Seyfarth being a regular in our top 17 is not the reason why we lose games.
If you are fair dinkum, you would be looking elsewhere as to the reasons why we lose games.

Not only was that not the point of the discussion we were having, its not my stance on Seyfarth.

I literally said we need people like him in the 17.

Try and keep up.

To be fair he didn't mention anything in regards to losing games let alone linking that with Seyfarth

He/she wrote that he is one of the best bench forwards in the game, not the best bench forward. There is a big difference.

It’s still a ridiculous claim.

That is your opinion. A lot of forum members have supported his post.

Idk how that makes it any more true

I support the gist of the post. Local junior to first grader is a good story. The bloke is not shit and the criticism of him is excessive.
I also fully agree with GNR that the claim of one of the best bench forwards in the game is ridiculous.

GNR claimed the poster wrote he was the best bench forward in the game. He didn't.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Can anyone with a straight face claim he’s anywhere in the stratosphere this year of Terrell May, Tom Hazelton, Junior Paulo?

Splitting hairs mate. It’s a stupid claim regardless.

 

[Kaito]

You've had some ridiculous claims too 😁
