And if he gets 75% adn does nothing, there will be a heap of threads bashing the young kids. This kid isn't a top5 draft pick or anything like that. He will get a taste of AFL football, then go back to the VFL and be ready to get another go. I support that way of introducing players into the AFL system. There is a huge jump from VFL to AFL.

f***, we made an appreciation to Gumby and Hislop on their first games, despite them doing nothing special.

SOmeone plays well we love them, they get in a slump they are lazy etc etc.Rossoneri wrote:Show me one thread were we have bashed a kid?Essendon4eva wrote:And if he gets 75% adn does nothing, there will be a heap of threads bashing the young kids.

lovett got bashed because he is downright selfish and slack.Essendon4eva wrote:I remember a thread bashing Lovett and Dyson.

dyson wasnt bashed - but genuinely and fairly analysed as a player most expected more from but unfortunately hadn't delivered

I am one of those who made comment (as distinct from bashed) regarding Lovett's performance and I'd like you to tell me which part of the following is bashing as distinct from making an objective comment based on observation of his performance.Essendon4eva wrote:I dind't specify it had to be a first year kid? It is lovett's third season. Young in footy years mate. Can't take someone off the rookie list and expect them to play like a 100 game players because he is 25. So he was a young players bashed, by members here.
Sunday was a typical performance from Lovett circa 2006-2007. He did a few flashy things, chased on occasion but generally did not put in the required effort.
His approach was too lackadaisical and as I mentioned in another post, I think he should be dropped to Bendigo for the rest of the year and be asked to figure out whether or not he really wants to be a top flight AFL player (and whether or not he is prepared to put in the effort required)
This is about his attitude and that has not been up to AFL standard this year or most of last year.
