2nds The Casey Thread - End of a terrible season

[RandB]

Is Westrupp destined to be a bust or is there something to work with there?

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

only a moron would think otherwise.

If you were familiar with that particular poster's history, this would be no surprise.

I am more than familiar.

I am more than familiar.

My sympathies.

Don't know but from the reports he follows instructions and is improving.

 

[MFCforever]

22 disposals, 6 marks, 2 tackles, 5 goals playing afl football
18 disposals, 7 marks, 3 tackles, 6 goals playing afl football.

Now these stats are from an AFL footballer. These stats are pretty phenomenal and he was playing against other AFL footballers. See the trend here.
People need to stop overrating Gawn, he's had good day, probably his best game of football whilst playing at the club, but it was in the reserves. Do you think Roos would seriously think his stats were phenomenal?
No!
When he starts playing well in the seniors then yes great go Gawny but until then he is a very average RESERVES
Player at best, he has shown absolutely nothing.

I disagree for any ruckman thats a very good day out.
And as for showing nothing thats a bit rich

Rubbish.

Gawn has shown plenty but still needs to tighten up all aspect of his game and build his endurance. Which is what the reserves are for.

Too often, he starts strong and fades out to 208 of nothing.

Still recognise his excellent hands/marking/ mobility and skill-set for a big man.

Yep like I said he had a good day probably his best game for the club but it's in the reserves.
He is an average reserves player, he has not done a thing in the seniors.

Just crap. We're screaming for big blokes and this 208cm monster is playing reserves.
His hands/marking is not up to Afl standard, you overrate his ability.

My God just stop posting.

He has ability he just doesn't yet have the tank or the core to cart his rig around the ground to contests. Big pre-season coming up.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

What's this guy's angle?

 

[CTHORANGE]

Matt Jones with 8 tackles is a sign that his attitude is still solid after being dropped

 

[Demon 16]

Absolutely nothing to work with unfortunately. I would be very surprised if Roos keeps him at the club next year.

 

[Bluelegs]

People often forget just how long ruckmen can take to come on.

It's not happenstance that has seen Tom Derickx turn into a proper player at the age of 26. Or Ivan Maric finally hitting his strides when he was traded to richmond a couple of years back.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Has Gawn not also had two knee recos?

[Topkent]

Big maxy gawn has put together his best run of footy, getting the job done in the middle and up forward now

Gawn was sensational yesterday.

Killed Warnock in the ruck and then presented well around the ground. He was unstoppable.
Fitzpatrick looked good also but given the feed the mids were giving the forward line, it wouldn't have been too hard.

 

[Cannon82]

Has Gawn not also had two knee recos?

Had a heap of injury issues. That's why he slid to pick #35 odd or wherever we gobbled him up, and he's had at least one reco since he was drafted.

 

[RandB]

To those who have seen a bit of him this year, does Harmes look like being a keeper?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Yep, I like the look of him - really solid skills and competes hard, strong kid as well.

I'd think we would keep him.

Hopefully after today's game we look at getting guys like Strauss and Michie in (especially Strauss who probably deserves a chance to save his career) who have solid skills and have played well the past month at Casey.

I would like to see Strauss get one more solid crack at it and for him to be played further up field so he can concentrate on his kicking and less on his opponent

This is the issue isn't it, Strauss is meant to be a good kick, heck even if he is merely a decent kick he will still be better than everyone else in our defence, but he hasn't got a game all year... Roosy obviously does not rate his defence to this point, but I'd say he is worth checking out for 3-4 weeks before putting the line through his name
