Patrick Veszpremi

[laughingnome]

One thing only:
Small Vespa, Big Boot.

A truely delightful contradiction.

true ... though it was interesting to see how much he grew from the begining of the book until the end - over the 1 year period ...

i would definately recommend it for anyone on this site - great read!!

I really enjoyed the book - found it fascinating.... the amount of work that goes into the draft each and every year and the actual people that are behind it.

After reading the book I realize that Vesz is a player who will need alot of time and attention to become the player we are hoping he will be.We are going to have to be patient.
Was surprised he was touted as a second round pick and equally impressed with Roosy's efforts to get to know him.
I suggest all Swannie supporters catch a read of this book.

I got a copy of the book The Draft from the library. Looked it up on line and booked it, only took a couple of days.

Another quote from "The Draft" regarding Vesz...from the Hawthorn scouts in assessing him...

"Pizza Supreme", we call him. He's got the lot..."

Yeah he was ordinary, as that article written about him on friday states, he is not fit enough yet at AFL level. Roos had to play him though, we needed another game breaker...

Vespa is a joke. Drag him!

Had a Barry Crocker, as did half the team after 1/4 time.

He's talented but does he have character? He has the exam tonight.

I think you are right Connolly but not just for Ves.....
There are a few Swans playing for their career tonight.
Too slow, over the hill, etc. etc. from the media will be tested again.
Can we confound the critics and beat the odds / dogs?

Jeez i hope so mate.

The article's a piece of fluff.

Vespa's a show-pony who is soft (one lucky goal V NM) and blames it on a virus / tummy bug (why did he play FFS?).

Drop him. Ablett had more posessions than I thought - keep him in....
(yes, a bit of baiting here).

Tummy bug is just a polite way of saying that he spewed because he's a kid who got flattened by finals nerves. It showed - he played a nervous game. Better get on top of it tonight as the cauldron is no place for nervous nellies. He's talented but does he have character? He has the exam tonight.

Personally I love his enthusiasm after scoring goals, it's really refreshing to see that from a Swannies player. Have no problem with it at all.

Ha, in your dreams.

Ok, It's still straight

[swantastic]

Ah, but you forget last week's "Don't drop Vespa or I'll tear it up" sentiments.
I had mine suspended over a candle, so luckily it is only slightly warped. Just like it's owner.

Ha, in your dreams.
