ROUND 16 - CCM V WSW

I am going to go out on a thin branch ...

I think I am right in this and if you know I am wrong simply correct ...

TW in his first role scouted and sourced ... Musty, Ryan, Sainsbury, Berine, Carcears, in addition he was one who said weeMac was a good signing coming out of the Celtic youth etc.... To me he has an eye for young talent without equal in the league... and when he makes a mistake he quickly releases the player ...

Now lets be honest here Flecther made overseas youth teams and academies and an Australian call up... Then from all accounts was badly hurt ... For me this is weeMac II combined with that talent recognising ability ... if I am right and lets hope I am and its not the JD this is our next Socceroo ... OK OK huge call without seeing him play ... but his history is of a very determined talented kid who got badly hurt ... and a very astute person when it comes to talent...

Like Austin in some ways but better because TW always said Austin needs to be shown how to play properly this kid already knows.

Weemac was Lawries scottish connections i think. Musti was Arnie wait actually think it was still Lawrie out of the AIS wasnt it? On others Lawrie had strong club connections in Wsyd area and I'm not sure on how much consultation there is between senior and youth coach - but suspect he played a role too.

Not trying to talk down TW's excellent work as a youth coach - but not sure he would have been the linch pin behind that generation of recruitment.

Not that I'm arguing TW doesn't have an eye for young talent Middy. Going off Austin and Liam Rose, McGing, Ascroft etc... he's clearly doing well.

I suspect pre-Arnie it was a team effort - JC also had a lot of connections out west.

Think you may be right but certainly TW was around for many of them... and his talent identification when compared to Moss ... well say no more ..

She's got a degree in journalism and has worked in football broadcasting since 2010. If you can't see past the pretty face that's your problem, not hers.
Rebecca Wilson has one to ! both also work for fox .
ooh for a quality former footballer denied a job for appearance sake .

If you don't see the difference between Rebecca Wilson and Tara Rushton then I'lve got to conclude that you're being deliberately dense.

Joel Griffiths ? ....... a commentator ...... :vhappy:

He's a 'fruit-picker', preferably the grapes.

Although many a vitner has complained he's a bit 'brutal' with the fruit. Suggested he's more suited back in the sheds 'crushing & pressing' them.

Assistant Referee Alex Glasgow agrees.

I`ve known Alex since he was a kid, if he say`s anything derogatory about SackWhack then I`d have to agree, then again if anyone said anything derogatory about him I`d still agree. :goodpost:

recalcitrant maybe . but I haven't sunk to personal insults directed at yourself .
I have linked both by a common source that is misogynistic in every way.
maybe it is the back ground dross Rushton is surround by . I certainly have seen no reason to pay her any respect other
than that as eye candy for pubescent boyz .

Hey Wombat - is it just me? Seems everytime you rap a player they get the boot. This time Heff and your standard line is that TW & Hutch are useless? Maybe your new signiture name could be Fonzie because you are never ever Wr, Wr, Wr, Wrong lol! Now if Ashcroft ever gets dropped you've got the market cornered. You could well be the kiss of death!! lol! I also note your absence of player assessments when we win or draw. We do share one very high level opinion. Rebecca Wilson lacks any sort of jounilistic integrity, how she maintians employment is beyond me.

What an absolute cockhead you are.
When have I given Heff a wrap. I gave him a 6 in the one full game he played. I can see the boy has talent which is why it's frustrating.
You are the moron that was posting that TW and Hutcho should get the sack.......everyone else has been supportive.
Wellington game I missed as away on holiday.
Adelaide game I saw the last 20 mins.....only thing of note was that Stella played well. I can't offer my opinions on games I haven't seen.

I suggest you put a bit more Lemonade in your shandy next time.

Btw .....from our last draw.. (Regarding the wins. I only watched 1 of the 2 and posted the one I saw)



..Crazy game.
Our finishing and work on the break was outstanding.
Or battling was great.
Our "anywhere will do" defending was interesting.
Victory's 2nd goal was stupendous football.

Victory butchered so many chances so we were lucky really.

Tinker belle......couple of great saves. Looks like a real prospect.
Roux....cost us the game with his signature comical defending of the 3rd goal but that error aside, had a reasonable game.
Rose....good game.
Posco.....very good. I'm really starting to like this kid.
Harry....great goal and overall a good game.
Monty....great game
Neill......pretty good game. Looks much better in the midfield than in defence.
Austin......brilliant game.
McGing....not bad.
Fab.......top game, lovely assist.
Bingham.....pretty good starting debut, great finish

3pts Austin
2pts Fab
1pt. Posco

What a thread !

We've gone from 'cock-head's';
Certain Fox commentators.

To 'cock -magnet's';
Tara Rushton.

Back to 'cock-head's';
Coach.

Football, the round & round ball game. ;)
