Honestly was going to post to say he plays like Jordy Dawson MKII.
Imagine 2 of them as onballers, my word:eyes:.
For me its the kicking that stands out for me - creative kick, weight of pass, penetration. Can't teach that.
Got a free ride form the umps in the last quarter - still shat the bed. Ball movement was deplorable including our skills in the 4th. Dumb plays and low IQ plays from so many players while Collingwood were brave in the last. Class won out in the end - we have too many triers, not enough players...
Class won out in the end. Could see it in the faces of our places that we were crapping the bed. Collingwood were brave with the ball. We were not in the last quarter- timid, lacking composure and didn't want to hit up a short kick as no one backed their skill under pressure. That was the...
Our midfield genuinely sucks - we need a good 4 class onballers in there before we get anywhere. I'd stick Keays back in there for now tbh as a stop gap.
He will do well at the pies i reckon. At worst solid depth, but i expect him with his kicking skills he'll push into their best 22. They can afford to take a calculated risk and its barely a risk given he'll cost a 3rd rounder at best
Would agree, for me peak Judd was the best of all 3 purely because he was the most damaging midfielder. Dusty's best of the 3 as a FWD/Mid and GAJ was a hybrid between Judd/Dusty. I think in Judd's era especially, if you were an explosive midfielder you were so so valuable. His 25 touches were...
Pretty good but some filler stuff like Will/mike/new stoner dude/Jonno crew - not sure they added a whole heap to this season. Will be interesting how they tie it all together in the end.
Real sad about the Seed. Career best year and now can't even do minor things in life. He would've made a huge difference to our side this year IMO - his mix of speed, run and carry along with a booming kick is a game changer these days. He was an ELITE wingman, not just a good one and a big loss.
As a forward you're never going to get perfect delivery - Darcy just doesn't impact the game enough unless he gets hit lace out, which is rare in an AFL game anyway!
My issues with him is he isn't athletic enough to beat his man, he isn't tall enough to be a brute contested beast and he isn't...
I think the issue with Fischer is pretty much athleticism. You have to be quick (at least in a straight line) or jump well as a key back and unfortunately he doesn't seem to be much of a power athlete. I don't think spending a top 10 pick on a key back is an issue - it's just that it doesn't...
Billy - he will be a gun backman when he learns his back craft even more - tall, athletic but more importantly has some rebound and can kick really well which is important as Butt's for all his defensive work, isn't a great offensive backman and is pretty dour. The balance is right between Billy...
People need to put some respect into his name. I've seen posts where 'hes not best 22 in a premiership side'. He is undoubtably in the best 22 in a premiership side. I would honestly put him in the same basket as Tim Kelly a few years ago. If he was on the trade block, but playing for Geelong...
He's a star already, by seasons end he'll be in the top 10 small forwards in the comp already...
For me he's so valuable forward of the ball we should leave him there. Pinch hit in the midfield yes, but let him work his magic up forward.
Just has the 'it'. Honestly only dude on our list in my opinion who has top 10 AFL potential. Skills, movement, goal sense, rockstar looks, x factor. GUN
Tex is an aerobic beast, Fog is not. He is strong yes, but he doesn't have the explosive burst either that you'd expect... The way I'd his style is a poor poor version of Tom Hawkins - weaker, not as big, shorter in height and shorter arms and doesn't have the football IQ. Hawkins took a while...
Cream rises to the top. That's why he's the best bowler in the world, senses the big occasion, when there's * all going on he turns it up a dial and can find a way to get wickets. Honestly think he'll be in the best bowler ever convo once it's all said and done.
Tracking for around 3.40- 3.50 ish but honestly if it's hot I'd be very pleased to run under 4 hours!
Well I reckon I'll go with what I know and what I've been doing during training and take gels at regular intervals
Doing the Melbourne Mara and looking at what I should do for gels. I've been using isotonic SIS gels during training which work for me (22g of carbs), taking them one every 7km on my long runs without issue. I'm semi worried that I won't be getting enough carbs in during the Mara as I'm reading...
He doesn't look quick but looks real evasive and nippy. The one thing I love though is that he seems to have so much composure and time through traffic which is the sign of a good player. Great decision maker under pressure - We have enough players that get the ball but bang it long on their...
Might be a New Balance thing - trying to use the RC elite v2 for the Melb Mara and I definitely feel they are quite unstable especially when going at slower speeds than a tempo run for example. I've had ankle issues too and same with you have gotten post-tib/flexor halluxis longus issues with...
We definitely need a 'unicorn' midfielder. I'm looking at our list and yes we have some talented midfielders but i can't see any of them being in the top bracket - ie. Dusty, Bont, Petracca/Oliver etc. Historically you usually need a top 5 pick to grab one of these but every now and then you can...
Honestly if he could play as an inside mid, why not? If he takes that role like a duck to water he could be very very similar to Bont. Hasn't got the burst of athleticism Bont has but definitely has that touch of class and obviously the size. Just because he is playing as a genuine 'mid' doesn't...
Yeah i do remember it was probably seen on the steeper side for Charlie. At the time Charlie's output wasn't worth pick 12 but he was packed with potential and obviously has turned into a premier small forward since. Turned out fair, Brissy were never going to pay more than pick 12 and it was a...
Can see the difference in talent level between Himmelberg and Thilthorpe - just a cleaner, one touch, classier player. Feel like Himmelberg's rock hard hands up forward will be a killer for him going forward. Personally I'd try to convert Himmelberg into a key back - he's got the necessary...
Think the way the game is going suits him to a tee. He's never been a 'big power forward' - during the mid part of his career he's been tried to turn into the big brute power forward, stacking on the kegs to try to play that role. He is much much better as a lead up forward, finding space on the...
