#5 Elijah Tsatas

Not sure where you are pulling this from.

He is pretty tough. Now that the body matches the intent you will see it at AFL level

He hasn’t had a chace at AFL level in an inside mid role.

He literally says at 6 mins ‘a slight bend in that arm which is good’ :sweat_smile:. I think the difference is, bucks would release the balance arm early, tsatas previously would go double straight arm on the lift for too long, both up and down. I actually like enhanced football, been following him for years on Instagram.

I’d never seen it before and didn’t look through, just scrolled til I got the shot - didn’t listen to whatever was said. A slight bend is fine, I agree. Buckley’s is unusually straight I guess.

Yeah he’s great. He also is pretty responsive if you reply to him or send him a DM. I showed him Nate Caddy’s grip on the footy when he kicks and said he could fix him in a couple of hours. Looking at footage from this pre-season his grip on the ball is still the same. If Rath has been working with Tsatas closely, he needs to spend the exact same amount of time with Nate.

What’s the issue with caddy?

Holds the ball excessively nose down on set shots.

Yeh and i feel like blokes like him offering these services in Queensland, is really lifting the quality of footy up there. People fly from all over Australia to see him too, including petracca.

You’ve bought in. Let me elaborate how and why.

You just typed four sentences to tell us you haven’t bought in.

Right arm at full extension at the top of the ball drop. Buckley’s is very straight (and high).

I don’t know where you get the running thing from. He’s often the first mid back in defense in the VFL and he gets better the longer the game goes on.

He is an elite young midfielder with substandard kicking skills which he is working on.

Give him a round one go, someone training and working that hard deserves to be rewarded

The body matches? He is still very skinny at the shoulders for an AFL midfielder.

How big do you think Dangerfield was at 20?

Yes yes yes…sick of reading all the stuff against him.

should have kept running

How can you make that judgement without knowing what was ahead of him?

No need to keep running with the ball if a leading forward has a clear break, for example.
