... I have never noticed that you have such diverse opinions to me. Seriously...

I normally just let it go, it is more fun to watch others duke it out. If I responded to all the posts (not just yours) that I disagreed with I would be on RWO all day. That would drive me nuts.

Well put Nico.
I normally don't agree with most of your comments but it is dreadful that this guy is actually holding back someone with skills, someone that would be very fired up (you would hope) if given a run in the seniors.

I am mortified Rogue. I have never noticed that you have such diverse opinions to me. Seriously. Not taking the pith.

Gee I must have watched a different game. When he got the loose ball, and that's all ever gets, and was anywhere near a contest he just curled himself up into a ball and let them jump on him. He also pulled out of 2 contests (the old let the other coloured jumper go first cause I might hurt trick) Watch him from behind one game as he sprints away with the footy, he has no vision, no idea who or where someone is up the ground, no idea where to go and usually goes sideways in the end.

Since when is someone OK in a game when he didn't do much but didn't stuff up. If you are tagging someone, one of the least things that will happen is you get plenty of loose ball gets. In this blokes case he gets only the cheap kicks on his own (he 'aint no link man's bootlace) which means he is rarely near the player he is supposed to be marking. He is certainly no expert at running off his man, because he is already off his man. I have been watching this bloke closely since he started playing and nothing has changed. The opposition must draw straws in the room before games to get this very ordinary footballer.

On his ranking, he scored 34, the 2nd lowest in the team. MOL was lowest with 33. Davis scored higher than him and he was off most of the game. The highest for us was Kirk with 143 so he was way off the pace in rankings. That poster who said he ranked well better go and have a Bex and a good lie down.

6 Kicks, 3 handpasses, 2 tackles (waited for the WCE players = squib) 6 uncontested possessions, 0 clearances (damning stat) 0 assists (damning stat)
Time on Ground 92 minutes, 92 flamin minutes. Dont tell me this bloke is any good.

Couldn't agree more Nico.

[RogueSwan]

Didn't stuff up because he didn't do anything.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Nico]

He'd certainly get a run with us!

Yep at the expense of Benny boy.

14 uncontested possessions last week playing on the Man from Mars. How we could have done with his 69% effectiveness on that lot.

[Nico]

Now lets have a look at Braun's stats.

8 kicks, 8 handballs, 14 uncontested possessions, I'll say that again 14 uncontested possessions (so where was Benny) Time on ground 89 minutes.
0 assists (so he played an outside game and got 14 uncontested possessions and Benny was tagging him).

Gee Benny was serviceable though, not.

[Nico]

Ah footy's back and we have our first Benny thread. (Or do the West Coke Eagles do bennies, too?)

Watching Ben on Saturday night it seemed as if he was one of the very few Swans players who didn't stuff up. Or did I miss something?

IMO Benny was ok but only after watching the replay today again,JB was worse than him but maybe it was Roosy's fault.

[NMWBloods]

He'd certainly get a run with us!

And become a tagger!

[Sanecow]

Braun is underrated because those three are so good. That's not to say Braun is great, but he'd get a game in pretty much any side in the AFL.

He'd certainly get a run with us!

[NMWBloods]

But he's hardly a Judd, Kerr or Cousins. When a team is tagging the good players and all the way down to the likes of Braun, then that is one hell of a negative game plan!

Next we'll be tagging Hansen.

[Snake]

He's useless!

I've had better bowel movements.... Time to give Schmidt a go.

ha ha ha

Forget about Benny, I still cant believe Ablett didn't get pinged for HTB once
