Stupid Post.Surely you can act like an adult and instead of launching into a diatribe or being all childish by name calling you could constructively tell those you dont agree with why you dont.A forum is for people to express their opinions,it would be very boring if we all agreed,have noticed anyone who seems to have a differing view to some of the long term members just gets mocked,great way to welcome new people mocking them because they dont think exactly like you,grow up and try to tell people why you dont agree with them.I dont generally agree with anything you say but i dont not value your opinion or disrespect you because you think differently than i do.

What makes you think I was referring to anything you posted? ... or that I'm an adult (I wonder myself sometimes).
Don't take anything anyone says on an internet forum to heart.
Tadhg is easily in our best 22, and contributed strongly to the Swans showing. He has contributed greatly to our club and continues to today. A couple of bad handballs, that's all, doesn't change that.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

I actually didnt know whether you were referring to me i just meant in general.
Kennelly has contributed well to the club i agree,but i just differ in opinion to you on whether he's in our best 22 anymore.
And no i wont take it to heart,i just think the more learned/older members of a forum mocking the newer for having a different opinion maybe isnt a great way to encourage debate.
But hey thats just my opinion,and i dont think whether your a good clubman or great bloke should have much to do with selection.Comment

I don't wish to comment on his poor disposal as of late, but I'm just wondering whether the forward press has cruelled his effectiveness. I was just posting on the kick-in thread about how exciting it was to see him and Malceski running through the middle after a kick-in and it struck me how little that has occurred this year in particular. Without that aspect of his game in play, he reverts to being an average one-on-one defender with (usually) good foot skillsComment

The forward press was introduced to do exactly that and it has worked. I think the forward press has killed a nice element of the game - the offensive run by a speedy half back. And people said that flooding killed the game as a spectacle..but i guess "forward press" or "Zoning" doesn't sound as negative as "the flood" which are both essentially the same thing if you ask me.Comment

Yeah your right there in that the press is a forward flood,or even last year i think it termed the rolling flood which it seems to me to be.
And Ugg thats spot on,Kennelly's very best always saw him setting up plays and taking the game on thru the middle of the ground and this year he's maybe done that a handful of times to varying success.Comment

Midway last year the media was still calling it a zone and when we played the flood. Then someone, I don't know who, coined "forward press" and a media so hungry for a new buzz word (flood was very tiresome) has run with it, especially since the pies are percieved to have won using this new tactic. Collingwood have been playing the press for a few years, check out when they destroyed the cats a few years ago. They have been using it on us for 9 games.
Prior to the forward press it was "the cluster" or "clarkos cluster" but that didn't last long after the hawks failed after 2008.Comment

I know ive been beating this drum for a month now but unfortunately Kennelly should have retired about 3-4 weeks ago.
There is absolutely no upside in wasteing any more game time on him,been a great servant but its time to go.Comment

Regretfully, I am coming around to the view that the game has moved on (in terms of pace) and Tadhg has not. Seems to get run down routinely at least once per game.
The "clanger turnover leading to goal" once per game is a new thing but that's 3, 4 weeks in a row now? Must be a psychological, confidence thing. That can be fixed.
Still think he's too important to be dropped, but I doubt there's more than another year in him.Comment
