For nine last night it was a love fest with Moses from the pre game hype to the final whistle. Every second word Johns said was a glowing tribute to Moses, it was sickening. Okay he went okay, put some good bombs up that Souths let bounce, and put a couple of neat short passes on, but in my book nothing that deserved the raps he was getting.
Of course it has to be noted Souths were backing up from a 5 day turnaround and the last game was in Perth. I guess he could score four pies and set up ten and I still would not rate him…just hate him
Yes it sure was over the top commentary about him even before he set foot on the field and I really don't know why. These blokes have seen and heard all that has gone on with him recently and the way he has carried on like a spoiled brat trying to get his own way. Neither Johns, Fittler or Sterlo would ever do that yet they had to carry on about how wonderful a player Moses is to the point of nausea, basically condoning all that he has done and giving kudos where they really aren't warranted.
Phil Gould even wrote an article expressing his disappointment in Moses ang highlighting how he had done the wrong thing to his club and the fans, yet these three jokers just go about talking him up like he was the next Wally Lewis! I know they're commentators and they're not gonna speak ill of players in public, but surely they could've at least toned the praise down a bit - neither his character nor his playing ability warranted the sort of gush we heard them spewing last night.
Ftr, I thought he had a decent game, better than I've seen from him for a while, but certainly not 'brilliant' as I heard one of the commentators describe him. I thought Gutherson stood out more, tbh.
