NLM
Posted: Sat May 02, 2009 9:56 pm
Was ok last week, and back to his usual crap self this week. He is never going to make it, and should be the first personn dropped. Houli has to come in for him.
Good one, idiot.BEST - Essendon: Watson, Lovett-Murray, Hocking, Stanton, Lovett, Winderlich

I think i labelled just about every one of those players as being "passengers" tonight in my other threadswoodley wrote:By my reckoning, he was better than, Jetta, Davey, Zaharakis, Monfries, Myers, Lonergan, Lucas, Lloyd, Slattery, Dempsey and McPhee.
Because it's always the same with this bloke. Tell me just once in his entire career when he has put two games together? He is just another Bolton like passenger, who is getting games because we are not very good.swoodley wrote:So let's all bag NLM...the convenient scapegoat.

He was one of the few players who tried to break the lines and get it into teh forward line without chipping it around
I have no problems with him receiving criticism when it is justified but tonight I don't think it is.
By the way...where are the threads about some of the above mentioned players (not Monfrie3s obviously as Ben Doolan has already started that one)?
Or did I get it wrong and they all played well?
Well you see robbie, I didn't think he was too bad tonight and certainly a lot better than quite a few other players. He played well last week also so by my reckoning that's two reasonable games in a row.robbie67 wrote:Because it's always the same with this bloke.

Yes as you all know i am a fan of Natrat but i too thought he was quite serviceable tonight. Yes he turned the ball over a few times but so did a lot of other players as well. I thought in the last quarter in particular he did some nice things across the back half and gave us some run through the middle. Yes Houli should be in the team next week but no in the place of Natrat. We need as many bigger bodied players in there as we can or the Hawks will simply push us over.swoodley wrote:So let's all bag NLM...the convenient scapegoat.

Yep i agree and last night definately showed that. Natrat is a pretty good mark and that should be used in the forward half rather than the back half now that we have so many young defenders coming through.BenDoolan wrote:I don't really have an issue with NLM. I think he tries his damned best. He may not be the best footballer going around, but he gives it everything. Personally, I think he is more value and more dangerous up forward than anywhere else on the field.
