    So labelling someone as a "hack choker" is not abuse. Just criticism

    Interesting values you have Scott.

      When you're calling a footballer who is playing football a "hack choker", I'm pretty sure you're talking about the way that person is playing football. You are not insinuating that the person is a "hack choker" off the football field.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

        I've never forgiven Jude for missing two set shots in the grand final in '06 and he's consistently missed them since. It was a fair enough statement from Nico that he got lucky against West Coast, based on Jude's track record with set shots.

        Blake can be a supportive uncle but in doing so he probably only sees the good qualities and skims over the bad. I'm sure I've read interviews with Jude where he admits himself that he's missed more crucial goals than he should have.

          Jude has certainly warranted criticism, but IMO Nico (and others - but in the case of Jude, particularly Nico) has often been abusive.

          I'd like to add that on most other topics I've found Nico to be a good contributor to RWO.

            OK, I'll sound like a polly (or coach)
            I don't recall that being said.

            Not a pleasant term, I agree. Neither is McHack, and all the other names that have been used over the years. I personally don't like a lot of things said on this board, but then to edit them would be censorship. I don't like a lot of the angst about other clubs that is said, here either, but I let it slide and ignore it.

            Trust me I do have values, and if Nico has said that I would've cringed and ignored it, like I do a lot of things said here. I don't like everything that Nico writes, or many other things that other posters write, but I'm not censoring it all either.

                  Nico once called him a "hack and choker", I believe that both terms referred to his football as Nico (and many others) saw it. Not of Jude as a person.

                    He is a skilled footballer, who has contributed to the team over his time there.
                    Of late he is missing heaps of easy set shots (=choker)
                    He is also not regarded as the best kick in the land(=possibly a hack in that area)
                    He does put his body in and on the line, and tackles and chases and handballs well generally.

                    It does appear that we can well say what the hell we like about Bolton though, as his uncle had the balls to slam RWO in the media, but not enough balls to back it up here.
                    So who is stopping us?
                    If you don't like it, do something about it.
                    If you just sit and complain about what is being said here and don't become active, it will never change.
                    So by that line of reasoning, to a degree we have his blessing in whatever we say
                    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

                      Earlier, I was commenting on the "situation" at second ruck. In deference to Peter Everitt's (reported ) sensibilities, instead of referring to him as Petered Out, I thought Petered Out? was much fairer.

                      I also chose not to refer to another "suspect" at second ruck as Lurch, because of the way he (kinda) Lurches around.

                      Okay. I admit it - it's because he looks like Lurch, but if he called me Jabba the Gut, with the Double Bubble Trouble Butt - I'd just laugh until I had a heart attack.

                      I think things do get out of hand sometimes, especially when it comes to players who been in the service of the club for a long time. Call for them to be dropped. Call for them to be dropped off a cliff if you want, but do it with good humour and respect for them as servants of the club.

                      I remember last season when Ernie The K and others were calling for the head of Young McHack. I called him Triple M, Much-Maligned McVeigh.

                      Just one man/boobs opinion, and he lurches around too.

                        The only thing that @@@@s me about Jude's game today is that this smug @@@@ will think he was right.....

                        Perhaps someone could right an article about how hard a time Playfair cops on RWO?? It seemed to work for Jude.

                          Notice reference to Playfair. Haven't been around RWO much lately. I like his enthusiasm but his disposal is Brennan like..which suggests he will not make the most of his ops up forward. What justifies his extended stay in the team? Interested in opinions.

                            Who knows? But he has been doing a good job of it.

                            I noted yesterday, that he seems more comfortable kicking to a leading player than taking a set shot.

                              I think Hank has slotted in pretty well this year.
