Oppo Camp Non-Geelong football (AFL) discussion

[year of the cat]

Caddy still trying to do too much

 

[catempire]

Both these teams have players and aspects that will worry many teams.

Really? Blues will struggle to win 5 games.

One of those will probably be against Geelong, though.

 

[hbk_aus]

Tigers don't like chasing. Either that or they are tired already.

 

[Partridge]

Just got done HTB again. Such a bull.

It's amazing. The exact same flaw that a few of us said years ago. Tries to do too much instead of taking the first option.

 

[Willo_]

I tipped Tigers by 6 goals

I called belting after 3 mins

But Blues better here than I expected..I reckon they have finished the last 2 quarters better as well

Could be really interesting last quarter if the Blues have more legs

 

[hbk_aus]

Rioli looks and moves like Nick Daffy...

Fine by me. Carlton fighting out the spoon is a KPI of mine every year.

 

[Bobby_]

Yeah, thought they were going to stroll in a 15 goal win. Forgot they are Richmond.

you can still back out if you'd like cat

Smedts looks like a bigger loss than Caddy

Probably realize the game is over and now it's all about going through the motions.
They certainly would want to get the first goal of the last quarter though.

Oh you're back are you Bob? You went quiet there for a while!

Neither of them are making me one bit regretful - ordinary. Parfitt looks an upgrade.

Caddy doesn't seem to want to learn that he has to take the first option. When he does that he's a much better player.

Ah yes, the newly minted first round pick. Give it a few seasons and see how popular he is then.

I'm sure Caddy will get better, but he isn't showering himself in glory in his first game for his new club. Would have to be just about the worst game he's ever played. A complete non-entity, and spuds it up when he does get involved in the play.

 

[hbk_aus]

Can't see either of these teams getting close to the eight with the amount of quality teams vying for spots.

Smedts has looked fine which doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

But then again, he's surrounded by spuds so that helps.

 

[Spazz Cat]

It's amazing. The exact same flaw that a few of us said years ago. Tries to do too much instead of taking the first option.

I think the bigger flaw is that he's not a midfielder.
Finding some space forward and taking a mark is his go.

He needs to get more of the ball, but when he's had it he's been better than quite a few teammates.

Got nothing to do with being first, second or eighth. Looks more composed at 18 years old Caddy/Smedts do at 24.

 

[Hood007]

It's important to note that there will be no #Jansen200 this weekend...

I'm not sure he will learn that now, he just seems to lack 'footy smarts'.

 

[Partridge]

Of course he does. He hasn't played a game yet.

Smedts looks perfectly composed out there.

 

[hbk_aus]

Of course he does. He hasn't played a game yet.

I have seen enough. Rising Star this year, Brownlow in 4 years and then will go forward late in his career and win 3 Coleman's.
