The Hirdy finger lick doesn’t seem to be coming naturally to the big fella.
Explain his lack of tackles and defensive efforts
Explanation: He had the ball.
I think he meant, ‘that would explain’, but that’s 2 reasons:
- He took the ball off the opposition, so there was no-one to tackle
- He runs to slow to catch and tackle
Anything on Setterfield or Weideman?
Lets hope Tsatas can build a tank, or alternatively like Jobe get 40 touchesa game and win a brownlow running less than 10km per game.
For those who have watched newer draftees over the years,
Is Tsatas’ poor endurance a concern at all??
Is it something if he works hard at he’ll massively improve or something you either have or dont?

I’d reckon it’s far easier to build endurance than it is to develop the burst power Tsatas appears to already possess.
I imagine Hobb’s endurance was very good.
But your also comparing Tsatas to the likes of Cox and Perkins, who were at the front of the Group (Cox winning) in the 2k time trial.
you also need to take into consideration that Tsatas has been injured, and is regaining his fitness.
His voice on the field is hard to miss, very loud when he wants the ball aswell. Was named vice-captain of Oakleigh and Co-Captain of the AIS Team.
Didn’t Tsatas have a foot injury that wiped out the back end of the season? Makes sense that all the guys returning from injury were towards the back of the pack.
There’s different types of endurance.
Repeat short bursts of high speed
Long steady running at a good speed
Long, all game, steady running
Let’s give him a preseason to get into the AFL routine and build up some fitness. While managing loads.
Plus his injury that benny points out.
If he gets fit he’ll average ~70 touches a game.
And we will still complain about a lack of defensive efforts
I’d like to know the time redman ran….
Anyone ?
One of my pet hates. Don’t be lazy arses, run outside the line.
After day 1 of his first pre-season training session there is no need to ask this question. You have used some of your panic $$$s too soon.
Yeah. Wait at least until Friday’s session.
Appreciate the report as always @Knackers
