Hooker

[boncer34]

Cops a lot of flack on here but his shut down job on Petrie last night was first class.

Petrie kicked 2 goals for the entire game and one of those came from that chest shove.

Hooker had him so well beaten they actually moved him into the ruck for a few minutes to get him involved in the play. Considering they already had 2 ruckmen out there thats big props to Hooker IMO.

Thoughts?

Exactly right. Played a ripper last night..

[bomberdonnie]

Yeah I liked his game

Definitely stronger and fitter

[BenDoolan]

He looked alright to me. Done the job required. Will play next week.

Kept Petrie to 13 disposals. I think people are going to crimminally under rate this performance just because they dont want to admitt that maybe Hooker isn't a spud.

THIS.

[Ossie]

His first ten minutes or so were rancid.
But after that he was outstanding.

Great news on Hooker but what about Pears? How did he go?

Struggled a bit since he played loose a fair bit.

North didn't really have the second power forward for him to go to.

Just doesn't look set playing 3rd man up.

Servicable, and that's about all. Rubbish start to the game, and then was ok. Let's not get carried away though, one on one he is still very spudly, and Petrie was held because Hibberd and Fletcher started doing a good job of being the 3rd man up.

Some of you really over-rate this bloke. If Hooker's game was "good", Hibberd's must have been Hall of Fame like.

I don't think we over-rate.

I think you just can't handle being wrong.

But in any case robbie I'm not going to argue with you as I doubt another shit fight is what this board needs.

Geez Boncer, lets not discuss anything then.

That last comment get you all excited about having the moral high ground? Passive agressive the new black for you is it?

[robrulz5]

He wasn't too bad but still makes a lot of errors under pressure.

People that follow clubs that regularly finish in the bottom of half of the ladder dont worry about this though. As long as he is better than whatever else we have on the list.

More the fact that the discussion is pointless yes? I think he played very well last night and you disagree.

Are you going to budge? No.

Am I? No.

But by all means lets enter into a pointless discussion which ends with you calling me a f***wit and ridiculing my view every time Hookers name is mentioned.

[Gimps]

Other than a couple of times early on, he played his role extremely well. I'd give him a 7.5/10, which is solid.

[robbie67]

Really Boncer? Why did you start the thread? So everyone could agree with you?

At least when I disagree with you, I present some facts to back my statement up. Are you really still that upset that your boy Knights got the arse? Time to get over it.

Knights? What he's got to do with Hooker?

As for "facts." You stated he was serviceable in your opinion and then said Fletcher and Hibber, in your opinion, were good at 3rd man up.

Hardly facts.

But congrats on getting your bite out of me. Kudos.

[robbie67]

Lets just say I know where your being upset with me comes from Boncer.

Wish I did.

Since I said I was happy to disagree with you.
