[LanceRomance]

Honestly, how do other clubs let guys like this pass them?

 

[ferrisb]

OK, so I know nothing about him.....Off to the google machine (StigTM).

Played five matches this year. Bulldogs went 5-0 in those matches, including 3 by at least 10 goals.

Kicked zero goals across all five matches, made the Doggies' bests once (5th best).

Ooof, tough crowd. Back to the google machine...

Cripps, Walsh, McKay, Curnow, Weitering, Boyd....we've found the missing link

 

[Mondyboy]

Hasn’t kicked a goal this year, but has been playing up the ground. So playing more as a mid.

Averages 1.2 tackles a match. NOW I understand what the club saw in him.....

So a small forward who doesn't kick goals or tackle. We've reached peak Carlton.

And welcome.

Waits for Jimmae comment on body alignment / kicking action...

 

[Mr_Plow]

I'm guessing the part about not scoring goals and not tackling as a small forward was an instruction from our recruiters. About the only rationale I can muster.

 

[jj1978]

WTF???? He must of been sent the pics.

 

[Mondyboy]

It is very Carlton to pick a non tackling non goal kicking small forward.

Hopefully he’s not the next Jason Tutt.

Also he’s on a six month contract so… I wouldn’t get too close.

Yeah. Well, that's just like... your opinion....man.

 

[Arr0w]

Not a pick I would have taken, but does add speed and better footskills

 

[Duece1995]

From the doggies board.
Playing as a intercept/lock down defender atm
Clean ball movement and got some speed

Great pick up

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

This thread is average reading. Kid is already up against it and he has been a blue for 30 minutes.

Welcome Jordan.

We sees the big picture ...
Out: Gibbons
In: Boyd

Well, that's different then. If he's transitioning into a genuine small defender with pace, I'm all for it. When was the last time we had someone who could play on the quick small forwards in a close checking capacity? Won't have to play Plowman on them.

I’m onboard …

 

[Santo the king]

What is he like with ground ball gets...seems to be a weekness mentioned a few times this year for us

 

[btdg]

I wish him all the best and everything, but... I'm intrigued to say the least.

Barely tackles, hasn't kicked a goal in 5 games, and doesn't get a heap of the pill.

Surely a KPF/KPD would've been more useful? Or maybe another winger as a Cottrell/Newnes upgrade?

He's been playing on the backline this season so less tackles and goals is to be expected.
