Armo

Post: # 1071518Post NoMore »

Ok i know others may already be on this band wagon but i have liked him since he got to the club but with lenny gone for the year

Armo has officially stepped into the Man-Crush void

I Love him

So tough and unrelenting. Our clearance work is woeful when he gets off the ground. Loved the fight at quarter time. Passion

The one arm take away behind his back in the last quarter was great to watch

Tough as nails.

He is doing a good job of trying to
Match Lenny in the hardness stakes.

A+ for effort again Armo!

Funny how this is all happening now he is being played consistently. Very poor selections over the last couple of years. How Eddy & Mini ever got a game in front of this guy is incredible.

Because he wasn't fit enough and didn't work hard enough, it was attitude not ability

starting to like the lad - love his aggression - a few others could take something from that.

Yep he said it himself, was way to unfit to play finals last year...also said he is a realist.

Playing so very well, 12 contested possessions again tonight, 8 tackles, 6 clearances, 4 inside 50's....

and above all 86% efficiency, which shows just how hard he has worked on his kicking doesn't it?

Also loved that one hander 8-)

It's spot on actually. Has been given many chances to secure a spot - finally he is playing consistently. He's no Lenny - but he's having a crack, which is all we can ask.

Great game by Armo! He has been unlucky with injuries in the past too! Good luck to him! Hope he can keep playing well!

Dangerfield exploded on to the scene at Adelaide after plugging away in the SANFL until he was given a chance, they new as a high draft pick he was the future and played him sparingly until ready.

He may have been just another whipping boy if he played every week. Fans are impatient while most take a few years to come good.

Couple of really inaccurate posts...

Dangerfield.....did not go to adelaide first year, had soft tissue injuries next couple....has barely played a sanfl game

Armo has barely been injured ...except two knee injuries last year...he played three at sandy and two at stk before the finals....

08 an 09 he barely missed a game....winning the sandy b&f despite playing games with the saints.....

Armitage, like Lynch now was not played because ross wanted a different type of player to play a role......a small fwd, and a defensive fwd, and a utility tagger....none have half the (now evident to some) ability armo has

He has been mis managed......like lynch is now....
