Player Watch #1: Hugh Greenwood

[andana]

I’m not sure what Chad Warner’s year prior to getting drafted was like, but it would have to have been better than Will’s.

Thanks. I also note he played for WA in the national champs. So basically a full year of footy vs Will who didn’t play a game. And as we know Will out performed him in their respective first year in every way possible, and convincingly, yet he is definitively not as good.

Strange

 

[B4Bear]

It read weird cos you are right all players return by dec 6

but somehow that player mentioned is coming back after Xmas

I guess we will know on dec 6 when the whole squad is back to see who the missing player/s are

Is Cunners still receiving treatment for his cancer?

Did he have treatment that affected his immune system?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Is Cunners still receiving treatment for his cancer?

Did he have treatment that affected his immune system?

No idea it just mentioned 2 players with unclear Vacciniation status currently interstate won’t return till after xmas

so won’t be cunners as he’s in vic

The weeks not listed were when Warner played PSA.

 

[the big lebowski]

My understanding was that it was surgical as was Hogan, Grey, Rowe and Docherty (initially).

No treatment required other than regular checkups.

Could be wrong though.

was on hand to remonstrate, but despite being so hard he runs a dairy farm full of velociraptors, regrew his hair through sheer force of will, and defeated testicular cancer by simply staring at his glorious scrotum in the reflection of the pacific ocean, he can’t be everywhere at once.

 

[the flying ham]

why, he is always good for a laugh, dont wanna giggle , dont click the link,

just have the luxury of him not flooding these threads.

Or could just sign up to twitter and follow him there and continue to talk about hugh greenwood here

 

[The Y Factor]

It would appear that Hugh is a “Captain’s Call” by Noble. It’s clear that he really rates him on a number of levels. I think the greatest source of satisfaction among our supporter base is the fact that our list managers appear to very much on the ball and primed to strike. Given our recent/longish history to the contrary, this should not be overlooked/sniffed at. Anyway, come R1, if/when Cunnington, Jed and Polec are out injured… There is that aspect too.


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Don't know about a Captains call but 100% driven and enabled by him.

We need to remember that the strategy is to draft youth but also maintain our age profile so protect the kids. We have lost Tarrant, Dumont and Ats so a highly skilled senior is a great get to ensure we have balance across all needs.

 

[The Nostradamus]

 

[The Filth Wizard]

This has been a bit of a "pinch yourself" year for recruitment. Certainly was with Edwards, certainly was in that final JHF played. CCJ is a good get but Greenwood out of nowhere is the third pinch. Probably the only other one for me is if JVR sneaks through to 20, I started this season hoping we would be in a good enough position to take him.

 

[Mav]

I’m not going to rag on him because he’s not here to defend himself.

If he hadn’t been such a Dick head he’d still be able to, at least, attempt to defend himself. But alas he couldn’t help himself. Certified Moron.

And if we can stay away from reaching on a W.Walker/Neilsen/Williams/Watson with pick 20 & address the back 6 in some capacity, it will have been an excellent offseason.

 

[DuckYeah]

Tef must have blocked him. Pretty funny.

Someone with the ego of Tef, this would only flatter him.. Very funny whoever did that

 

[Mav]

Yep, not to many more people more vain then he is. His lap band surgery proves this!

 

[Usayed Givashe]

I don't get why you don't rate Will. He's everything you used to like in a footballer: hard, fast, skillful.

Now it seems you just want the skillful part in a team full of front-runners but with no hard and defensive edge. You don't win flags without guys who can go the other way both on the inside and outside, ie Viney and Brayshaw respectively for the most recent premiers. And right now that's a major deficiency in most of our young mids, particularly LDU, who we genuinely have to carry defensively atm.

I’ll respond to this.

I love Will (I just rate Chad Warner, did that ever cross your mind?), part of what I think is a wait and see with this, is will Wills midfield minutes decrease as a result of this?

Yes.

Does Will play any other position particularly well?

No.

So with the greatest will in the world -from my suite in a 400 year old ******* glorious hotel in frankly, the greatest country on Earth - remind me again how this is a good thing for us, Will and the very basis of selecting him.

All this is moot if Cunnington retires in which case it’s a genius and highly welcomed move.

That was my original take, outside of my standard ageist s**t where I bang on about age demographics (probably because it’s the only time I’ve/we’ve experienced any success).

I’m not anti-Will, I’m just not as pro-Will as some, who have been locked in a cage for 18 months and it’s showing.

It’s more like a pigeon among cats. He’s getting eaten alive.

I stand by my assessment of the Trade, Mav, as being completely unnecessary.

This is such a misguided idea.

You don't just draft young talent and pump gifted games into them. That's how you become a Carlton...

Most important is who those young talented players are learning from, and bringing in a top player in the comp to play with them and protect them to an extent is invaluable. Every training session, they are learning what it takes to get the most out of themselves, and needing to earn their spots in the team.

I see you deleted Melbourne from your ‘shouldn’t tank’ shtick this off-season.

And after you were so wrong about Melbourne, I’d almost guarantee Carlton finish top 6 next year based on you sir, continuing your fine existence as a reverse market indicator.

Teams need experience? No s**t….

What the * are Goldstein, Ziebell, Walker, Hall, Cunnington, McDonald, Corr, Simpkin?

8/22 are there providing leadership.

9. Turner (who will play you’d suggest)

So that’s 9.

10. Greenwood

So we have 12.5 spots for kids/developing players(Zurhaar/Larkey/McKay/ThomasJHF) in the team when everyone is fit.

Now para mi, I want all the kids playing together, living together, ******* together and building a bond and love for one another that grows into a dynasty. That is my wish, the questions remains though, is this a net positive for us - the answer to that is we’ll see. I know I’m one out, but basic maths dictates 30 into 22 doesn’t go. And there are only 3 starting midfield spots and Will must be one of those 3 or he is frankly underwhelming (not his fault, he’s a midfielder playing out of position)

But he is a dilf

My wife will cut out your heart and feed it to the Venezuelans in the street if you even look at me, Ligma.

I have a bolt on my door.

 

[Usayed Givashe]

Low, low standards there.

Your best post in years.

You’re back mate; keep it up.

I have a bolt on my door.

If you insist

Don't be disheartened Ligma, it's a 400yr old bolt....

I can understand your hesitancy on will, but he has played less than a full season in 2 years, and development doesnt need to occur in the seniors. Calm down pal.
