Time For a Flag Offline Platinum Member The VFL is not the AFL Posts: 2364 Thank you received: 166	wow the years really do just blur. Seemed like i saw him just last week Victorians still laugh at West Aussies because of the way we bailed out the vfl and then allowed it to be called it the AFL!

He's not listed on the PFC website but he is listed on the WAFL site as a 10 point Perth player,so who knows.

Another genuis recruiting move by this club,he was a player that you could only hope lived up to his potential that got him AFL listed but then you only needed to look at his wafl career to date to realise he was only ever going to be a list clogger.

He certainly wasnt the type of 10 point player we should have been chasing,his resume to date if nothing else should have sent the alarm bells ringing.

But IMHO he should have not been signed. As 30+ says he was always going to be a list clogger. It's not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog. Winning isn't everything. It's the ONLY THING !!!!!! I shot the fukin sherriff!!!!

Exactly!!!

Paper talk is a perfect example of the problem with the point system. It might deter clubs from over-recruiting but a bloke like Papertalk, who just wants to play footy, is hampered by the points hanging around his neck. There must be a fairer way. A WAFL draft perhaps?
