wonderfully unpredictable & even

So basically Xman you were wrong with the speed and size argument. Khunt is tall enough and fast enough to play in the position. Players shorter and with less speed have excelled at the game. This precedent is clear, so to put it simply you should now acknowledge you were wrong with that silly argument. Be humble Xman,its a good trait.

Now I do agreewith you on 'he doesnt have enough endurance or a leap.' Can you now also agree the man has little of the skills required to play the game at the elite level? And lets not narrow skills down to a basic kick and handball, I can do that. We're talking elite level skills, if you know what they are Xman...

*After making Xman slap himself with his own hand KE loosens his grip, picks a big green booger out of his nose and holds his finger ready to flick it on Xman's face while waiting for Xman's response.

Tap out Xman, tap out!

[King-Eliagh]

Leo Barry ... His disposal skills were actually average.

Just did a touch of research on average disposals and for a back Leo Barry equalled or was only a disposal or two off the likes of other great backs such as John Worsfield, Ted Whitten and Stephen Silvagni. Would you say their disposal skills were "actually average" as well Xman? dear oh dear of me, look what a kerfuffle you've gotten yourself into Xman.

* while keeping Xman pinned, KE raps three quick crowpecks over Xman's noggin. 'hellooo anyone home?'

Oh dear!

Average disposal has little to do with effective disposal!

Get your hand off it Xman. Leo Barry was superb at disposing of the ball. A great kick and amazing handpassing under pressure. Khunt? Miserable at it. In fact he struggles to get his hand near the ball he's that woeful. If you think differently, which you do, you desperately need to grow some matter between your ears.

You are very dim Xman. Hellloooo anyone home? Newsflash, Khunt is a poor player and will do little better this year than last. Falou on the other hand just might do some good things because he put in a year in the lower division thereby showing he was fully committed. Khunt? He said stuff the lower grades, im off to france to make more money, then ill come back and take me some bundles of AFL money. 16 games he played last season All the while making a mockery of the organisation which employed him

I know you'd like to believe its different Xman and that the Khunt is gunna turn out to be worth the millions, but on the field he'll never be worth more than the minimum. Off the field? Well we'll never really know but I tend to think noone really gives a stuff about him anymore apart from the hilarity of his playing skills and the misfortune of those who deserve his spot on the roster. A mockery of the code is Khunt, but he must have the best damn player manager in the business, i'll give him that Actually no, i take that back. Only fools would fall for the 3 year 3 million dollar contract he's managed to score! Fools like xman

whether his on field performance is worth a million dollars is irrelevant. He wasn't recruited for that reason. I don't care if he succeeds or fails personally. In fact if he fails it will be pretty funny given he was a star RL player but couldnt cut it in a sport they claim has less skill.

Leo Barry was average, run of the mill, about middle of the pack, nothing outstanding, moderate, at disposing of the ball. It was not his strength. That was his leap and spoil. You don't know that because you're stupid.

[King-Eliagh]

Ahh i think leo barry benchpressed the highest in the whole swans team at one stage. He used his body and strength extremely well against big guys. If you'd played the sport with any skill you might realise a leap is good but using your body well and reading the play is more effective in keeping the ball off an opposition challenge. Xman, please dont mak statements you know nothing about anymore. Barry was also a superb at getting the ball out of the back line, usually with a run and an effective handball or sometimes kick.

Now to Khunt. So you're happy for him to be the promo bunny and take the spot of someone who deserves it? Some character you have there Xman.

KHunt has helped generate millions of dollars worth of media interest and has promoted the game wonderfully. How would a "no name" have done this?

Don't bother with him Xman. Clearly he struggles to understand how it is the AFL is the most dominate and powerful sporting code in Australia. Those of us who understand Australian Football see the bigger picture and the worth of KHunt and Izzy.

As Vlad says

Demetriou believes he got the two rugby league defectors "on the cheap".

"I'm on the record as saying both Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau have returned our investment in spades," Demetriou said

What I find really disturbing in all this rubbish is that the AFL are happy to make a mockery of their own code. A scientific experiment, a reality tv show if you may in their very own sport. Yes the viewers are/were keen to see how he goes. "I wonder how he will go..", "do you think he'll be any good?" they say, and after they realise he's rubbish, the coin drops...they realise they've been duped and their team the suns lose credibility with him in the squad getting paid squillions while better players get paid less. Some poor bastard who may have been a superstar, a Jordan of the sport, may be languishing in the 1st division because some gold digger called Khunt has cashed in on an experiment, a dodgy reality tv show the AFL has decided to spending big bucks on. Meanwhile his teammates and fans watch him turn it over and give away goals all for what? A shocking experiment. I could forgive them for the first year but three more years and 3million bucks? Shocking and shameful

When the suns and Khunt play, the sport loses cred and it wont take three years of paying Khunt's like Khunt for the fans to realise this. I'd say most, apart from the dumb ones like Xman, already have.

The media interest generated by these two players alone cannot be denied, even by a biased ***** like yourself. This alone well and truly covers the costs of their contracts.

[King-Eliagh]

I dont give a rats about this media interest, thats short term interest and may turn very sour very soon. What you and those gumby heads down at AFL dont realise is the way conducting an experiment/reality tv show like this might, and in Khunts case will, have a very detrimental effect on the game at large. The main product is the sport and wankers like yourself should never forget that. The credibility the sport loses by bringing in Khunt and paying him in excess of four million for four years to have opposition players run rings around him while his own teammates take paycuts will be huge. One year ok pay him the million and see how it goes. Four years? What the bloomin hell is wrong with them? Did they not see his performance? Don't they care about the new team going well? Or the players around him? The reason they did so can be found in Psychology. Its a twisted form of self affirmation theory in which the AFL are affirming their initial foolish decision to employ Khunt by employing the poorly skilled player for another 3 years. Politicians do this stuff all the time based on the fact they lose face if they acknowledge their own mistake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-affirmation

So, I predict the effects of the resulting credibility loss will begin this season. Lower crowds on the GC along with continued woeful performances by Khunt would be a clear indicator.

Lets wait and see now Xman. I think I've given you a good touchup on effective business and management, as well as the skills required by players of your faviourite code and some of its more apt players like Leo Barry. You've learnt plenty and may rest up now and await my lessons to be validated as Khunt fails miserably in his second year.

No, no dont thank me or offer money Xman. Your betterment is my reward

[Xman]

They extended his contract because they saw the clear benefits from his first few years. Seriously, are suggesting they would have done that if they hadn't received positive results from a comprehensive cost/benefit analysis? LOL You're dreaming! The AFL is nothing but a very slick and well run business. Look at the way they have setup the Suns for starters.

[King-Eliagh]

The financial crisis has occurred because of douchebag business men type like yourself have lost sight of the product and the outcomes associated with narrowly focussing only on costs and benefits. With this in mind, I stand by my prediction that the GC suns will lose appeal and crowds because of the Khunt's continued poor performance aligned with the public and players awareness that the poor player is receiving millions to effectively lose games for the suns.

A shameful experiment continued because of fat cat fools with dollars covering their eyes.

Its ok xman, you need not repeat yourself for the umpteenth time with your simple "they're making money so there" line. Just listen to me and watch and wait for the outcome I propose.

Yours,
King

I had to comment on this and say that it's the biggest load of crap I've read from you, KE!! Since when did ONE person lose games for any club, you idiot???

That is further evidence that you never played and that you lied about your playing career. Sure I know where you said you played, but after this I'm starting to think you have a massive fantasy running.
