Is Abbott any good Catswhiskers? You would of seen him more than most on here.The game was lost because we were far too tall. Especially up forward. Abbott Siggins Buzza and Crameri all together in last. Ball swirling, ball on ground no smalls. Ball run out too easily. I don't think any players enhanced their chances. Maybe Gardner, House and Smith.

My hand is up here too..Well I am not doing very well in my "good enough to play AFL predictions".
Dismissed Esava and Henry as at least 12 months away at best and thought Cunico was a nice kick but lacked spunk. Wrong wrong wrong.
So on Abbott I would say he is a spud and you can expect him to line up V Sydney in a week or two!
Seriously I reckon he will not play unless both Smith and Stanley are out and even then they might just use Buzza with Esava and Blicavs (assuming we have a KPD back or they promote Gardner).
Cheers. I thought the same on all 3 players too.Well I am not doing very well in my "good enough to play AFL predictions".

I dunno, I never saw Abbott as anything more than the 'in case of emergency' ruck.Cheers. I thought the same on all 3 players too.
Saw Sav a year ago and thought he was miles away. Liked Cunico in his first year but no so much since then.
Abbott is easier to gauge though because it's not really about the future. Needs to offer more than the other 2 rucks right now.
I have gone off JJ.
JJ looked a bit uninterested a couple of times, and at others tackled hard and well but he is not presenting where the ball needs to be carried enough.
It's odd because they had a series of write-ups over the summer on the VFL recruits that seemed to herald a new type of coverage, but it's fallen off. I get that broadcasting is expensive and that probably only a handful of us would watch it, but they clearly do record all the games. I thought the highlights packages they were doing in the first half of last year where they showed most or even all of the goals and named the players involved was a massive step in the right direction, and to be fair they did something similar for the first game of the year. I think an extended highlights package each week that showed all the goals but also some nice other plays would probably satisfy most people - ultimately we don't really care about the result, we care about how the next generation are performing. Matchday coverage (live chat, radio broadcast etc) doesn't really satisfy that but a big highlights suite would.I get that. I'm just playing devil's advocate really and listing reasons the club would use to justify not investing in better VFL coverage.
My personal view is as I described in previous posts: the club could, and should, be doing better.
Hugh Goddard has really made us regret not taking him.
We were never going to take goddard who has had a horendous run with injury.Hugh Goddard has really made us regret not taking him.
I'm not confident he'll make it. Has too many deficiencies for my liking.Only one tackle from Miers on a wet day...
so for all the posts where we were idiots for not taking Goddard...We were never going to take goddard who has had a horendous run with injury.
I do know someone heavily involved with the Falcons (don't we all) who was adamant Goddard would be a bust. On the flip side he said McCartin was going to be a superstar. That's not quite going to plan. Before you quote me injuries, that's all part of the package. I think Cocky woulda could shoulda been a star but if he cannot stay on the park then that's irrelevant. Stiff...probably.We were never going to take goddard who has had a horendous run with injury.

Id not worry about it .... you are not a legit observer if you haven't made a call on someone and been proven incorrect.
What you reckon of Simpson last year Catswhiskers?Not worried. Not at all.
I expected the push to a stronger list overall would come from the mid level players and the kids who debuted last year. To see Parfitt push on, Stewart to develop his game further and Bews, Kolo etc consolidate is as expected. I saw Parsons and Zuthrie especially with Simpson, Buzza and maybe Gardner and Jones as the ones who would push through and demand games.
To have Esava and Henry debut so early and hold their own, Cunico possibly joining them, and Kelly and Fogarty looking comfortable already is a real plus.
Just have to hope now they all reach a level of consistency quickly enough to join forces with a pretty fair midfield this year and next.
I'm ecstatic to get any coverage for the VFL. The highlights package can leave me a little wanting though.It's odd because they had a series of write-ups over the summer on the VFL recruits that seemed to herald a new type of coverage, but it's fallen off.

Early call is very earlyI'm not confident he'll make it. Has too many deficiencies for my liking.
Early call is very early
Needs a few years before making any type of assessment
He is coming from a fair way back, especially in a physical sense. I get your point, but you don't expect pick 57 to exactly shred it up in their first few VFL games.That's fair enough mate. He doesn't have enough tricks for my liking and he's too small.
Generally those who kick 7 goals in a TAC cup grand final get picked up highish. There's a reason he was still there at pick 57.
I'd love to be proven wrong of course.
And this is why I get a bit irritated when people on this board suggest that Jermaine Jones should be rushed into the senior side.
