The Jarrhan Jacky Gametime Sweep

[Vader]

As you all know, Jacky is making his debut this week against the Dockers. We also know that Neil Craig has a penchant for easing the kids into the side as slowly as possible.

So, how about we run a sweep - the object being to guess how many minutes of gametime Jacky actually spends on the field? No prizes, just the honour of knowing that you read Craig's mind better than any of the other BF affictionados.

I'll kick it off, taking 18 minutes.

[James_37]

Haha, Gold:D

31 minutes.

[Dandy_GO]

Zero minutes - the Bryce Campbell special.

[Vader]

Zero minutes - the Bryce Campbell special.

Be fair, Campbell did get 8 minutes on the ground! Lowest figure I can recall under Neil Craig (not affected by injury) is 7 minutes for Chris Knights on debut.

[James_37]

Haha, yeah, that was pretty pointless, he actually roved a pack up forward, giving off a handball for a goal in that time, don't know how much more you could expect of the kid. Also loved in '05 when Doughty and Reilly would only get 5-6 possesions each game because of seriously limited game time, then in '06, given more time they both started pulling in 20+ possession games.

[Vince Van Mackay]

I'm going off the deep end here and suggesting 36 minutes.

[crows98]

13 mins. (8 % game time)

[Capitalist]

49 for me

[Jars458]

46%. Can't do minutes as you don't know how long the game will go!!

[Macca19]

He could play more as he'll be up forward and not in the middle like a Knights/Campball was.

Ill go with 27%. Although he could play as much as 60%.

[johnnypanther]

a good sweep - 38 mins

[fryingpan]

Are we doing minutes or %'s ?!?!?!!!

I'll go for 58 minutes.

[jo172]

32% Tog

[McLeodMagic]

43 minutes.

[Vader]

Are we doing minutes or %'s ?!?!?!!!

Started in minutes, now seems to have morphed into a bit of both given that % is what's reported in the ragvertiser. Guess we'll have to do the conversion once we know how long the game runs for.

[Coopers]

I'm going to go the long end: Jacky will kick 5 goals in the first quarter and demand more time.

%65.

[Stiffy_18]

47% ;)

[RoosterLad]

37 minutes

[Dujon11]

66% After the airplay he got on the footy show last night

[jo172]

66% After the airplay he got on the footy show last night

For those of us who would rather stab ourselves in the eye with a pen than watch the Footy Show what happened?

[Carl Spackler]

62%.

[hey shorty]

25%. He'll carve up the Freo defence and kick 3 goals but NC will resist the temptation to play him longer sighting "potential player burnout" as the deciding factor.

[cocka]

For those of us who would rather stab ourselves in the eye with a pen than watch the Footy Show what happened?

Did the usual announcement of the crows team (just before midnight :rolleyes:), said Jacky has come into the squad for his 1st game. Sam (who else) was trying to make fun of his name Jacky, kept on asking where is he from? As in what nationality/race is Jacky? I thought he was heading down the racist route but then realised he was implying it was a girl's name. Cause they kept telling him WA, Broome, Subiaco FC etc. and it went on and on, until they read his BIO.

After all that, another failed joke basically.

[Sparno17]

Baptism of fire. Throw kids in the deep end and let them learn. If they make mistakes and struggle a little, good. More learning material.

If i was coaching ;):p Bring him as soon as the first goal is kicked/inital tempo eases. Give him pretty much all the first half followed by a bit of a break in the third. Throw him on the wing mid-late third and let him try to find the ball in space. When he gets it, run and use his pace. Last 1/4 back forward.

Know that we can win this game from very little contribution from him but still keep him on the park. Tell the group to carry him through his first hit out.

Let him go in with zero expecation on his shoulders and tell him 'do what he does best'. Tell him to really focus on tackles, forward line pressure, chasing and making lots of movment even it seems nonsensical (spell check??) at times. Keep presenting with hard leads and circle back under burton and tippet. Be a terrier. A goal or two is a bonus.

[topjars]

20 % of absolute mayhem

[macca23]

6 to 7 minutes a quarter.

26 minutes.

[jackster83]

22 mins game time

Won't play at all in the first half and will play 10-12 mins in the 3rd and 4th quarters.

[crowman_23]

55 Minutes.

[jenny61_99]

[Pistolnight]

I dont know anything about the kid, Can he play? Has anyone seen him play? Hope he is the goods...

[hey shorty]

He can play alright, I think most of the discussion here is whether it might be a bit too early for him to step up. IMO he probbly isnt ready, but in saying that I still think he can do a reasonable job tomorrow if given time.

[Campbell's Chunky]

79%....

Ooo, the plot thickens.

Who does he play for in the SANFL?

[hey shorty]

Who does he play for in the SANFL?

The Eagles. Been playing off a HFF and not doing anything really spectacular as yet but he is the player we have been crying out for years. Someone with pace and very good crumbing ability.

[-CG-]

I'm going to say 32 mins :thumbsu: But hopefully we see more!

[doppelganger47]

i reckon he'll be brought in for the last 6-7 minutes of each quarter for the fresh legs factor. therefore, 24-28mins. :thumbsu:

[Drummond]

Haha, yeah, that was pretty pointless, he actually roved a pack up forward, giving off a handball for a goal in that time, don't know how much more you could expect of the kid. Also loved in '05 when Doughty and Reilly would only get 5-6 possesions each game because of seriously limited game time, then in '06, given more time they both started pulling in 20+ possession games.
I cried myself to sleep about the way he handled Reilly. The great man was in my DT and yet he came on, got 7 possessions in 10 minutes, and would sit down for the next 45 minutes. :thumbsu:

Anyway, I'll say Jacky gets 34 minutes.

[fightingdreamer88]

It depends heavily on whether he has an immediate impact. If he starts with a quick goal or two I'm sure he will be persisted with, perhaps for as much as 65-70% of the game. If I were a betting man though, I'd go for something like 35-40% gametime.

[crowsup]

22 minutes

Don't give us a range. Pick a number and stick to it. It's a sweep, closest to the truth wins the admiration of us all.

But I already won that. :cool:

[marvin]

38% Tog.

[crowsarethebest]

31% Tog.

[hippyhippy]

13 mins if no other players get injured, if anyone else gets injured he will play 38 minutes.

[goal sneak]

81% :)

[bus24]

31% for sure, no?

[Mr_Smooth]

this thread is useless without a BFSC thrown in... ;)

35 minutes :thumbsu:

[James23]

23 minutes :)

[pjcrows]

He'll play a quarter and a half and kick a goal.

[Chief Crow]

i will go with 39 minutes

[Seanason]

43 mins easily - FEAR THE JACKAL!!!!

[deaneus]

52 minutes... what's a quarter, 25 mins? would make it 52% of game time.

[FlyingCrow]

32%..

[Dogga79]

33%. He will kick 1 goal from 7 possessions

[hugecannon]

67% of game time for 1 goal 2 behinds from 8 possesions. :thumbsu:

[Eastern Crow]

52 MIN :confused:

[whitey_1975]

46% game time.
2.2 11 possies:thumbsu::)

[Vader]

Here's the list... Divided into those who tipped by minutes and those who tipped by percentages. Games generally go for around 120 minutes (+/- 5), so to convert from percentages to minutes just multiply by 1.2. We'll do it a little more accurately when we know exactly how long the match does last.

fightingdreamer88 put in not one range of percentages but two. I'll add him to the list if/when he comes up with a number.

Dandy_Go is our most pessimistic predictor, goal sneak the most optimistic. Who has the foresight of Nostradamus?

[Vic Crow]

It's a duplicate guess, but when I saw this thread title for some reason 31 minutes immediately jumped into my head.

[Southerntakeover]

120%.

He'll stay on the ground after the game doing several laps of honour after kicking 10 goals, and knocking out Josh Car with one well timed 'sling tackle' that is apparently perfectly legal.

[Seanason]

ill bump to 45 for an original number. :thumbsu:

[Jarmayhem]

I'm going for 43% game time. Not quite half of each quarter, but enough to kick 2.2 and blow minds.

[DaveW]

8 minutes.

[winky14]

41 minutes for me.

[Vader]

Game is now over. Anyone have access to Champion Data stats to give us his gametime, or do we have to wait for the papers to come out?

[Vader]

Total gametime was 112:54. Now all we need is Jacky's percentage, or actual gametime. Then we can declare a winner.

[jo172]

Sunday Mail had 33%

1% off!

[deaneus]

33% of 112.54 is 37 minutes

*damn, i had 52*

Just to have a whinge, was at the Royal Hotel across from the National Wine Centre yesterday while the game was on for an hour and a half, having a couple of drinks between a wedding ceremony and a reception - staff wouldn't put on the footy! They kept saying, "the game's finished" - presumably because they had Foxtel on (which was, Rowing and NRL). Idiots.

[Dogga79]

So what do I win? :)

[Vader]

Congratulations to RoosterLad, jenny61_99 & Dogga79.:thumbsu:

[Chief Crow]

close but no cigar. I had 39 minutes :mad:

[jenny61_99]

Congratulations to RoosterLad, jenny61_99 & Dogga79.:thumbsu:


Woo hoo! :thumbsu::D Makes up for my crap tipping this week! LOL

[Vince Van Mackay]

DAMN IT

I Tipped 36 minutes!

So close, one minute away.

Just like how I tipped Richmond against Western Bulldogs and they were 1 point away from a win.
