Monty please place a Muppett and Seagull next to Stanton permanently

Worst player in the AFL. Along with Reimers....

whole heartedly disagree, much better than 75% of the essendon list

AlexIsOnFire · August 20, 2011, 06:28:55 PM

That doesnt really sound like a compliment

Stanton's a really good footballer.... just not a superstar. But most of the league isn't, people judge him too hard. Much like Watts, Fraser and other high profile players

OS is correct! Who cares as long as he gets points!

DT points are far from a true reflection on how decent a player is, unfortunately some Dters think otherwise.

Stanton scores well in DT, but has very little impact on games, he has plenty of uncontested possession and turns the ball over way too much. This year he has rarely copped a tag which is a true indication that no team rates him.

you obviously dont watch much mate, stants has been in & under all season & efficientcy has improved out of site. runs hard and gets loose too. would walk into 16 teams in the league

Whining for icons works even less in the forums than it does in the chat... 8)

Stanton isnt the best player in the league but you might as well say Swan deserves the seagull . If anyone deserves the muppet icon its you. Stants is a good player but not as good as he is as a Dt player.

AlexIsOnFire · August 20, 2011, 07:59:35 PM

for you place Stanton and Swan in the same sentence is ridiculous, and to make that comparison once again makes no sense.

Its my opinion, I don't rate Stanton, its fine for you to have your opinion.

Pretty clear you are on a stupid tirade but at least have something to back it up.

Stanton and Swan are both DT'ers and don't effect games a great deal like a Judd/Pendlebury/Ablett do IMO.

Doesn't they are muppets. The muppet's are those that spend time ranting and raving from behind a computer screen like you.

I agree with pretty much everything you said except that Swan doesn't effect games a great deal... what are you watching dude? 1 in every 2 games (or more) he effects the game GREATLY. When you get 35 disposals, even if half aren't moving forward more than 5m, you still have ~17 good disposals, which is good for any player.

100% agree
Stanton and Swan are actually very simular type players but Swan does it better and more consistently

I consider him a linkage player not a game breaker. Its easy to be a cog but to be the engine is a different kettle of fish.

But every team needs both otherwise it won't work. Juddy goes in and wins the hard ball, dishes out the clearance and someone has to be outside receiving it. Murphy/Gibbs gets the handpass in space and puts the ball into the fwd 50.
Different types of players but all important.
