Delisted #20: Jacob Townsend - Not offered a contract for 2021, off to the suns as a DFA

[Beerfish]

I think Vexho is the bull and the red rag holder has just said Towner is an AFL footballer.

It looks like the red rag is quite excited by the prospect.

And dresses left.

 

[JT_the_Man]

About what I expected.

Still wish we had’ve played a kid though.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Was BOG up until half time in our round 1 clash. Unsighted since.

 

[naraku]

I hope to never see him play for EFC again.

What does the picture mean?

I would think it means a person holding a red rag to a bull would "stretch" to ensure they aren't hit by said bull. Unless I'm mistaken and that is an inside bull, and the guy in the jacket is trying to lure them in from a flank?

 

[Learntopray]

Thought he was worth a punt, but what does he offer the team? Can't mark, can't lead and doesn't pressure the ball anywhere near enough. He struggles to find the ball, and struggles even more to dispose it when he rarely gets a touch. One dimensional slow plodder.

But at least he looks tough

 

[BrunoV]

That crouching on the mark after a kick in.

The forward pressure!

Incredible stuff.

 

[ant555]

Wish some would try and play with the same aggression he does but he is just too bog slow and just an ordinary player.

 

[foj1]

He was one of our few who physically competed.
he wasnt Recruited to play 3rd tall but it is where our genious coaches play him.

Where would you play him? Because he doesn't have the tank to play midfield

 

[foj1]

He is a 6th forward who is a difficult match up as he is good in the air for his size, physical and a pretty reliable kick.
our media department stated he would be a midfielder.
he has often played as A key position forward this year

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Should never have been drafted and should never have been played in front of a kid - any kid.

No club with any sort of sense would select a plodder in the forward half.

Do you think either of the Richmond coaches we now have are using him for a purpose they didn't recruit him for?

Sums him up. Has the required intensity, but is a shitkicker. If only our quality players displayed his effort.

 

[Don35]

Can’t play

 

[fairbump_playon]

Can’t play

wish you would just come out and say what you mean

 

[ant555]

If he actually had a bit of pace he would be damaging.

If Zack Merrett was Dangerfield we may be in a better spot as well. Maybe we needed this bloke to make some hybrid players.

Meet our new list manager.

Quite possibly the most underrated South Park character.

 

[11kgm]

I hope he decks some campaigners if its his last game

 

[TheFrenchCut]

If its his last game

I want to believe but I've been hurt before.

 

[freddy mercury]

Not that I care about this club much anymore, if at all. It isn't his fault, been poorly played out of position. He is a small forward. Not a lead up forward. He is deserving of another year. Has a crack, unlike the other weak campaigners we have.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Good luck to him at his new club/career

 

[Schnitzengruben]

The least I can say about Townsend is that he has mongrel and applies good hard pressure. He's one that never applies weak as piss tackles like most of our squad. Not his fault he's given too much responsibility and we have a poor forward structure thanks to Dan Jordan's coaching.

I think he has a place on our list going forward, but I wouldn't be upset if we parted ways either.
