Jimmy Sellar

[Cap]

well i've seen Jimmy in flesh for the first time this season.

and I can't work out all the knockers, Jimmy kicked 1 should of had 3 didn't make the distance from 40m and then missed one directly in front

The main criticism people seem to have is that he look lost in the forward line

thats bullshit, he doesn't look lost 9/10 he is in the perfect position its just he doesn't have the intensity to take the grab, it was really strange to watch. He could get in position do the body work but not keep his arms up there - dare i say Jerichoish

one of the worst parts of the nights is that he seemed much quicker than Walker, so if people think he is slow then we are in trouble

How many touches? Has he broken the half dozen?

well he took about 4 marks, so he had atleast 4 kicks so hopefully whilst rucking he managed to get another 6

he did kick a boal (should of had 3) so that might make you happier.

 

[Norman Parker]

How many touches? Has he broken the half dozen?

6 kicks 5 marks 5 handballs

2 goals.

that chinese proverb was popularised by Mick Malthouse a couple of years ago, and I'll bet the graffiti in your toilet was from mick's reference too.

Not unless he said it circa 87-88, but he may have been to see a band at the Cave around that time and carried his own Posca pen!!

Great proverb nevertheless and very apt when discussing young James.

Sellar definitely isn't slow from what I've seen of him, I think he tends to lope around a bit at times with perhaps a lack of intensity, which may be mistaken for slow, but when he gets going he is very quick for a bloke his size.

Not yet. But I have been known to be pretty quick to jump on the bandwagon. He has broken the magical 10 possesions mark, now all I ask is for him to back it up with another 10 touches next week. Credit where credit is due. I will be quiet til next week now

Mate TBH (and this is completely my opinion) 3 years from now Jim will be elite. I mean super elite. The forward we've craved. Him + Tippett = Twin Towers

 

[Geoffa32]

He is 19 and Tippett is 21 and taking off. Two years time Jimmy will eclipse Tippett.

When was the last time as a Crows fan you could ever be excited about the forward line rather than one or two players (ie modra).

Tippett and Sellar as the two big talls, Walker as the third tall, Jacky and Petrenko crumbing and Porplyzia as the goal kicking midfielder who pushes forward into the pocket to help Jacky and Petrenko.

*spooge*

Its exciting now with Tippett Birdman Porps and Goody....

Not since Modra in 98 have we had an intimidating Forward Line


Who was the Welsh guy that left us????

No he wont..... No one will but Buddy...... Tippett will be the next big thing... I can promise you that, only injury can stop him. Last week with a bit of luck he could of kicked 8. All contested. I cant remember any player to do that in there first 10 games.... As Ive said before its not fair on any young kid to be compared to Tippet, who has only played under 40 games of any type of football.

 

[betterthanu]

I still believe Sellar will make it as a forward but ive lost the faith that he will become the superstar i once thought he would be.

Same here... looks anything but a future superstar at the moment.

 

[fightingdreamer88]

So 11 possessions? Good effort, hope he keeps it up.

You have to wonder exactly what happened after that bout of food poisoning though. He has looked a shadow of his former self since then.

It was also said here that Rutten was TOO sLOW to play AFL ........Sellar has pace no doubt .......his intensity at the contest and ability to initiate play will get better with maturity.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Yeah people forget the age diff ......Tippett IMO will be the more dangerous becuase of his contested marking .....but Sellar is the mobile lead up CHF we need.

Tippett FF .....Sellar CHF ......Hentschell 3rd tall

thats what i would have thought too, i still believe there is something there

They guy isn't slow, again it's a case of people not watching closely enough. I mean, Mackay is slower than a wet week right?

 

[Prem87]

Give Sellar time. He will become a Gun. With Tippet & Sellar you will finally have an awesome forward line for the next 10 years.

Its funny that like Westcoast you have relied on your midfield and defence for years. Now we have some young gun KPP forwards for once and we can build a team around them.

All the best tonight.

Rutten always knew how to read the play though.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

6 kicks 5 marks 5 handballs

2 goals.

Also, would have got some hitouts as was the backup ruckman.

Sellar is coming along OK. Think we will be in a better position to judge him next season as he is 2 years younger than Tippett.

*not a troll*

Just wondering what it'd cost the blues to get him over with his great mate Gibbsy?
