No respect
I know it’s been done and it won’t change but I just heard Bwooce Macawanker label Eddie Betts one of the best small forwards ever.....noting him alongside Matthews and Moriarty etc....
I like Betts great player but I never ever hear anyone say : Stephen Milne might be worthy of consideration in that...( I did hear Matthew Richardson politely remind him of this one night....).
Betts has now played over 300 games , he’s kicked 585 goals at 1.91 a game - great record
Milne played 275 kicked 574 goal at 2.09 a game
I know many don’t like Milne even now when you mention his name as a great player opposition twit fans reply with “hated him” but big Shyte - respect is due, Milne was a gun small forward worthy of consideration among the all time GENUINE (read player who specialises as a small forward) greats.
FWIW I don’t have Mcavaney in my all time great commentators - IMHO he’s friggin annoying, gushes in his pants way to much and ought to be shown the door.....just my view......but I respect the fact he’s seen by many as one of the best ever.....
It irks.

Re: No respect
As soon as I heard 'squirter' get all moist about Eddie and totally ignore our bloke I thought the exact same thing
Milney dominated for the Sainters and I don't think Mr Betts has ever kicked multiple bags of 7-8 or 10 goals on a consistent basis like Stevey did during our grand final years
I was looking up Milney's stats when I logged back into the forum and you beat me to the punch
Disrespectful from the Adelaide barracking flog

Re: No respect
He really does need to learn to control the barracking or just retire him ffs if he can’t keep it in his pants when Adel play it’s time to go...Scollop wrote: ↑Thu 13 Jun 2019 10:15pm As soon as I heard 'squirter' get all moist about Eddie and totally ignore our bloke I thought the exact same thing

Re: No respect
Purposefully underrated due to supposed indiscretions - Malthouse unfortunately fuelled the fire when he called him a rapist.
Most definitely one of the best small forwards the game has ever seen and doesn't get the kudos he deserves outside of the St.Kilda Footy Club. Who can forget his 11 goals against Brisbane in 2005 - I've never ever seen a small forward do anything like that before - it was an absolute freak show.

Re: No respect
At the very worst, Milne is Bett's equal.
After Rossy Lyon's tough love in 2008, he was more consistent and his defensive game was far better. He was brutal for a little fella.

Re: No respect
You couldn’t ever measure the stat but I wonder if anyone has ever kicked more goals at a time when they’re team has really needed it
Can’t think of a player that has plucked more goals out of nowhere against the run of play than Milney

Milne played for the Saints. Enough said. Personally I turn the “mute” on when B Mcavaney and Carey and 4-head Taylor are commenting.

Re: No respect
Kudos to the big Texan for what he said about Milney. Taylor Walker was being interviewed after the match by Jimbob Brayshaw amd Jimmy Bartel. They were doing the usual time fillers and showing replays of the Betts goals and Texan said he reckoned Betts is probably one the best small forwards ever and probably sits alongside Milney

Re: No respect
The same lack of respect for Stewart Loewe, the greatest contested mark the game has ever seen. Over 300 games and nearly 600 goals from CHF. Rated by Chris Mew and Glen Jakovich as their hardest opponent. Loewe is never mentioned by the footy pundits. it's like his career never happened

Re: No respect
Context. Ironically Bruce is paying respect during a live call. I'm pretty sure if he was asked to discuss his thoughts on who he thought the all time great small forwards are TR would be mentioned by the great man. No doubt at all.
Loving how he's still working while battling a life threatening illness.

Re: No respect
It's not just Adelaide. He was the same with the Dawks when Cyril was playing. Bottom line is that he's an over-the-top, gushing, annoying tool ... with slightly more than an accompanying dash of creepy old Uncle. I cannot stand Fri night night footy with Bruce and BT. They've fvcking awful commentators who just try and out-do each other on the annoying stakes.Teflon wrote: ↑Thu 13 Jun 2019 10:22pmHe really does need to learn to control the barracking or just retire him ffs if he can’t keep it in his pants when Adel play it’s time to go...Scollop wrote: ↑Thu 13 Jun 2019 10:15pm As soon as I heard 'squirter' get all moist about Eddie and totally ignore our bloke I thought the exact same thing

Re: No respect
Unfortunately that's what happens when someone does something horrible, unless you're Wayne Carey of course...
If Milne didn't tarnish his reputation then I've got no doubt that he'd be in hall of fame by now.

Bruce gets over excited when the Crows are playing. Just like Darcy and the Dogs and Maguire and the Pies.
Everyone acknowledges that Bruce has a reputation for statistics and he regularly researchers and compares the best of the best
Bruce should hang them up if he cannot recollect the record of a player who was ahead of Eddie for most of Eddie's career
It's ok to defend Bruce's character and respect the person for his professionalism but in the context of this thread, I am of the opinion that you may not have even been listening to the live call

Bruce categorically had Betts as the best small forward in modern day AFL based on games played since Leigh Matthews hung up his boots

Re: No respect
So when Bruce is commentating you forgive him if he has constant brain squirting moments.
I get that.
I would have not responded had you just been honest and said you didn't listen to the broadcast

Re: No respect
In the context of Cho's team versus Dew's team, who has been at the helm longer
In the context of how many key playmakers and best 22 have left GC Suns in the last 5 years versus how many players we've lost, I'd say Cho has absolutely no excuses on Saturday
We aren't united like the sycophants and apologists. If we were Cho might not be still around
