1. Simmo is no chance of being delisted this year. So SimonVerbeek enjoy your glory while you can.
I would agree with you that he's a good chance to survive this year. That's not on merit, but rather because Pagan has a smorgasboard buffet of hack footballers to choose from when delisting at the end of the year, yet he can ultimately only choose about 7 players.
On your next point mjonc, I'm not after any glory. I don;t take any joy in the fact that we have players who aren't up to it. I wish simmo would succeed, I wish all of our players would become quality AFL footballers.
But that's my heart talking. My head tells me that a lot of them are crap.
The reason I bumped this thread up again is because I know I was right but still got every poster and his dog jumping down my throat. Contrast the following quotes:

No size, no ability, doesn't win the ball. He'll be dropped next week for the only other other guy on the same crappy level as him - number 7. In fact, simmo makes Davies look like a Brownlow medallist.
I wrote this at halftime against Adelaide. You may see this as harsh but in essence I was correct. Still, people jump back at me with the following rubbish -

Kade is fine, don't let him owrry you, was great last week and will still be in the senior team next week. Doubt he'll play for the Bullants again this season.
You can now see that I was talking honestly and predicting Carlton affairs accurately (a good prediction from halftime especially), while those who speak crap such as that quoted above do not have a realistic outlook regarding our lower tier.
I can't let this go through to the keeper. Good luck to simmo, I hope I'm wrong and he succeeds, but my head tells me otherwise, and Dennis Pagan concurred.
