Um players like Ablett Bartel Selwood Kirk Goodes etc are rated as A, I think at this stage and until Bird starts to pick up 30 - 40 possessions a game and can influence the outcome of a game the C rating is fair.

Did you watch the show?
The context of the discussion was Lee Colby rating our young players. If we were rating our entire team against the competition, I'd agree but it was purely our 10 or so under 24 yos. I think Bird is at least a B.

Don't know who Brian Taylor is. Doesn't look like I'm missing anything.

Do you really expect comments based on all of the facts?

Perhaps we could get Baz to have a chat to him. I'd pay to be a fly on the wall!

If that had been Barry Hall he would have been given a few 50 metre penalties and reported as well for good measure.

And now Sam Newman is in trouble for "anger management" issues, after grilling Hall about the same thing last night!!

Sam Newman? Hypocrite? Nooo..

So are we rating them as youngsters or rating them against the elite players in the competition?

In the context of the thread and comments there was no mention of rating younger players??

Well unless you've been in a coma you'd know how he rates our youngsters, and since this thread is about Brian Taylor, I'd say it's quite relevant.

Given that Roos has expressly stated that we won't be going for a marquee forward, there are no marquee forwards out of contract, to get an in-contract one would cost picks or players that would be insanity to give up, especially given the upcoming draft concessions to GC, it isn't stating the obvious at all. It's stating the popular, a BT specialty. BT clearly does no research when preparing material on the Swans, and simply trots out the standard media line, with a twist of his own anti-Swans agenda thrown in. This twist was evident with the snide remark that the AFL would help them. What that could possibly be based on (how in god's name would the AFL be able to help the Swans secure a player from another club?), I've no idea. All BT's comments prove is that he is a total and complete wanker.

The rest of the AFL Teams panel, while usually on the ignorant side, at least are impartially ignorant. Though they may have no idea who some of our youngsters are or the promise they are showing, and as such don't rate them, at least they don't take visible pleasure when underrating our players, and seem genuinely concerned. BT acts like he wants nothing more than to see the Swans fail, and it's disgusting.

haha you need to relax a little its called the media they like to stir the pot especially Taylor, its why people watch if they luved everyone and said how great every team was noone would watch....

I think its great part of the Melbourne media hate Sydney, but I dont think they are underating our players? maybe a few of us on this forum overate them??
