Delisted #28: Elliott Kavanagh - Gone to play SANFL

[Andronicus]

What was it about his game as a junior that had us so excited when he slid to us?

Not sure. But was touted as a top 5 pick by experts at the start of 2011.

 

[Snake Charmer]

I went out with his old missus when I was 12... Just so you all now

 

[Red Black and Blue]

For mine you can still see it, his vision in the contest is outstanding. Problem is he lacks intensity and is a bit reactive. I think he can make it, but really needs an uninterrupted run of senior football to get a better feel at the pace.

 

[Keystone agony]

Huge game tomorrow night in reference to his career. If he has a big one he probably earns a 3rd nab game performance and form there would see a round 1 run. If he has an ordinary one after his 1st nab game he will struggle get into the 22 without major injury damage to the midfield. Still showed ability to run balance up and kick an inside outside drop punt from 45 on the run which takes a fair bit of ability.

Hes given himself every chance over preseason which is a credit to him and i hope it translates to real games

That's all fair.

Got to say that I was disappointed that he wasn't left in the centre square the whole time against St Kilda. I appreciate that he is going to have to evolve different elements to his game but if we're not giving him the chance to do what he does best it seems that we're 'putting the cart before the horse'.

I'd like to see him in the middle with Cooney and Jones tonight more often than not.

 

[Moist Cobra]

His future is very bright.

 

[Keystone agony]

His future is very bright.

can I ask what that's based on?

 

[Mercurial89]

can I ask what that's based on?

His draft position. Hasnt shown anything else

 

[Ess_don]

I still remember listening to that draft on the radio and someone in the background let out a happy cheer when Kav apparently "slid" to us..

Not gonna lie, I don't see him making it. Just doesn't seem to have any stand out qualities. His decision making is slow, his skills are sub par and he doesn't stand out physically either.

Have to agree based on what he's shown at top level.

 

[Moist Cobra]

can I ask what that's based on?

No, no you can't

 

[dnbassador]

shocking disposal rate

 

[Beerfish]

No, no you can't

Seems like an odd answer to a fair question.

Does it, Does it really

 

[Beerfish]

Does it, Does it really

Yes.

 

[Moist Cobra]

Yes.

Yeah your probley right

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah your probley right

So enlighten us.

 

[Moist Cobra]

So enlighten us.

If you mean why i said his future is bright it is because i have hope in every Essendon young player.

Nice chesty answer.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Still have hope in him, but that was an absolute shocker tonight. Needs to put in a big one next week if he's given a game, which he should be.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Done his dash opportunity after opportunity ive seen not near enough from him.

 

[MightyDons4]

Seems like his big game next week will never come, yet another below par performance tonight.

 

[Keystone agony]

He would relieve Melksham as the whipping boy if he could actually get AFL games
