I have changed my critical view of De Goey at least until his criminal matters are dealt with and assuming he is still playing. As a lawyer who has represented numerous clients charged with similar offences I can testify to the incredible emotional turmoil and effect on their daily lives as they await determination of their cases. I suspect De Goey is no different and I would expect the case would be consuming much of his energy and time. So I have decided to cut him some slack for now

Surely you aren't suggesting that footballers are human?? :) :wink:

Thank you for a compassionate, rational and insightful post.

Time to offload this bloke. How hard is it? There are cameras in the change rooms! There has never been a bigger lie than “I will never let you down”.
Target a decent enough forward and Heath Shaw him or a first and second rounder.

What? Because he pinched a blokes arse pregame? How damn precious is the human race becoming? For me that’s a love tap of encouragement nothing more.

Jordy is copping way too much flack here. It’s not his fault he has 3 huge guys jumping him at every contest, put cox on for a week to take away two defenders and then we will see a different story. But no, the short arses have to cop a pounding. damn dumb.

Watch any match, if Cox is there there is always at least 2 big defenders on him. Even if he’s only a decoy he’s more value than JT,

Just quietly, "more value than JT" isn't the standard the Club should be aspiring to. We could field 22 players who are all "more value than JT" and still lose every game by 300 points.

Oh in isolation it’s nothing. In this PC Woke world we live in and %$^ up after %$^ up it ads up to a bloke who has talent but not the brain cells to put it together. His purple patches are not worth the everything else that comes with it.

Thought he did alright yesterday, just read a review that suggested moving him to half forward in the 2nd may of been helpful, as the defense was falling in on him deep after quarter time, and I'm inclined to agree.

neither were Danes Swans at the start of his career, but he was probably worth persisting with!!

Degoey again

Post by MickMCG34 »

Headlines again for the wrong reasons.
Does he have any sense at all?
Obviously taking the game, NB and team’s performance very seriously and suggests Buckley being ignored by at least some players.
As usual our professional club representatives defending him again!!!!!!

I see it opposite. How is it ignoring the coach?

Media beat up.

Re players not listening to bucks, that was evident yesterday. 1st qtr, everyone followed the game plan, then a few just went their own way after that.
