So many top 10 picks for other clubs had very average/inconsistent first 30_50 games,lets see at 50 game mark,THEN you can start to be concerned. He’ll get there imo somply bc of the supposed extra traiming and endevour to improve.See SPP goal? Bloke was a very ■■■■ kick but improved. So can Tsatsas.Feed the greek boy trays of lamb and chicken. Simokin,LDU? Very average at the start with their disposal and decision making.
25 hard earned possessions at just over 60% game time. He was ok. They play Hobbs much more
No fixing what he has wrong.
I agree, it’s a huge over reaction in here.
There was plenty worse like jones for example and i bet his thread doesn’t even get a post this week
Maybe we just need what he’s good at
Maybe, you will need to enlighten me to what that is.
He gives blitzers something to post about when we should be answering work emails
He is v good, and has improved his work rate it’s evident
Keep him in for the year. His defensive efforts suck but he sounds like the type that will actually work on it and not just roll up to training to collect a paycheck
This guy, like Shiel, can do only one thing: win clearances. It will take most of you five years to realise this.
Jobe Watson did
Colyer didn’t
Hardingham didn’t
Shiel didn’t
Franga didn’t
Daniher didn’t (with us)
He doesn’t ‘win’ clearances. He gets them as stats. He hand passes or panic balls immediately. On the occasion we get a perfect centre break to him in space he is unable to hit a target. He skirts outside and around the actual contested ball.
He plays seagull footy at this stage.
He won more contested possessions and more ground ball gets than anyone on the ground.
Yeah but they were seagull contested possies and ground ball gets
And his kicking is ■■■■
Am I doing it right?
He cares about his game, I respect that. I stand with Lij, even though he doesnt like Pizza
Yep thats it.
Oh and we know everything about him after 10 games (2 in the midfield) and theres no way he could possibly develop or grow.
The kid tries but unless he can learn how to hit a target too much of a liability. In the last he won the clearance totally missed an easy 25m kick in the middle and it goes back over his head for a goal.
Potato.
Even AFL.com.au sees the value. Get around him.
