Doesnt look likely Michael Shit will add to his 2 wins at the GP then.

Should be a good indicaition of just how utterly finished GAndo is.

Will get to at least the last 4 but keep crying!

[DeepFriedRat]

Vile draw

[Dfc180]

Clayton will have his work cut out to retain after that draw

[The Thorn]

Clayton will have his work cut out to retain after that draw

Looking at his side of the draw and then Wade's its infuriating.

[DeepFriedRat]

Wade will be removed comfortably by either Gilding or Smudger

[The Thorn]

Lukeman will be removed comfortably by either Gilding or Smudger

Yes

[Randall]

Wade is a jammy fucker

[sennafan24]

Is this the James Wade discussion forum?

[Randall]

Which one of them?

[skweezit]

just a passing thought.
what with the remrkable upsets in the last couple of recent ET's,
coupled with the non-participation in them by a large handful of top throwers, (i.e. m. smith, price, wade, mvg, luuuuke... )
we've gotten more focus on perhaps the "less than the current elite"/ rising stars.
we see them going deeper in the brackets,
especially when they're up against opening round host nation fodder and/or recieving byes.
and those "look how deep they're going!" thoughts can't help but stick in our minds.
what I'm wondering is whether this has led to higher expectations, maybe more than it warrants, across the entire field?

keep in mind that passing thoughts can sometimes be like passing gas.
they smell for a bit and then they dissipate.

A good point mate. Any particular players you're thinking of?

Definitely thinking Schindler is a glaring example of this. No matter how much he gets hyped up based on Pro Tour results, I will reserve judgement until he can do it in the big events.

Lukeman is another one, got all the hype just to job out of the Matchplay to Wadey averaging 83
