Always value your thoughts Tayl0r, so was interested with your comments on Jesse.He has the potential to be a very handy forward too. He reads the ball well in flight, is very agile for a guy his size, marks the ball at the top of his leap and jumps really high.
Kicking loopy shots at goal isn't a worry when you have the entire goal to kick at.
Yeah, he is so bad using the ballAlways value your thoughts Tayl0r, so was interested with your comments on Jesse.
I hadn't seen any of his his footage, so I just went and watched his U18's highlights.
Have to say I am more than a little concerned about his disposal. Other than one short outlet from a point, I don't think he hit a target by foot, and he missed several simple kicks that ended up hurting his team. He also missed a couple of targets by hand, including one right in front of goal that resulted in a (missed) shot.
I know he's still young, but for me, players are generally good disposers or not - very few start out terrible and become good.
With Sam Collins, Zac Dawson and Tanner Smith already on the books it would seem to me we have more than enough tall defenders with poor disposal.
I guess at this stage we're not going to get a polished tall defender, but I don't know if I'd be stockpiling poorly skilled talls just because they are tall...
Should I be looking for sarcasm emoji?Yeah, he is so bad using the ball
Nope. He has all the tools, if he didn't burn the ball so much he would be inside the top thirty.
He is Zac Dawson that can mark.
Don't get me wrong, I want him, but if we get him it will be at the price fit for his position now the main draft is past.I think you'll find he is much more attacking and will back himself to take a make and run off his opponent.
I would be elated to have him on the list. He has the type of physique that could add muscle quickly and enable him to become a very powerful defender or forward.
