Yep, agree on both points. He was important in all aspects tonight - outside run, kicking to advantage, direct scoring, successful tackles and digging the ball out from the bottom of packs. He worked so damn hard, running from end to end throughout the match. It was a superb turnaround from last week and simply great to see. He "stuck it up 'em" , using the words of Ted.
I thought Bevo was beautifully direct and honest in his assessment of those in the media who belittled Adz during the week. He said he found it disappointing and that several commentators were just plain nasty. This reminds me of certain posters here on Nick's, who have labelled Adz as virtually being a useless liability of a footballer. "Nasty" would be a mild assessment of their diatribe from my point of view.
I agree PP.
Maybe you should think about your diatribe against Brodie grundy as well. give him the chance under a new coach. Clearly Bux and he did not work well together.

We know you wont let a Treloar mistake go by without letting us all know.

"Virtually"? He
is a useless liability of a footballer. He cost Collingwood premierships and I can't even begin to understand why people want to see him do well at another club.
Call me old-fashioned - but I'd quite like it if people posting on a Collingwood page would bag the opposition spuds instead of our own handful of great players.

So that makes Treloar useless at being a liability.
Does the double negative make Treloar an asset?

Maybe you should revisit and read again what I've written about Grundy. I have never said he was a useless footballer, just an over paid one, which has its own ramifications for the development and improvement of the whole team.

Err, this isn't a Collingwood page, it's the Nick's Other AFL page.

Clearly, on the contrary, Grundy and Bucks worked quite well together, from the moment Grundy was drafted, right up until 2020 season. A player does not develop from a draftee into a two time Copeland winner and AA under a coach he cannot work with.

Despite the constant attacks on him here,Adam’s actually played well in two of the three finals for the Bulldogs..I wish him well,and hope he achieves the ultimate in football,winning a grand final.It might shut up his critics once and for all,but I highly doubt that it will.

It'd be really surprising if it did - we don't seem to be able to shut up the critics of Collingwood's handful of genuinely good players, so why would people stop criticising this guy who cost us premierships and doesn't play for us anymore?
