Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones - out for season after suffering Achilles rupture vs CFC on GoodFriday - go well CCJ

[Swallow_Wood]

A gum tree has more utility.

Average ruck, s**t forward.

Shocking trade.

 

[Souup]

Thought he was in our top handful of players and only played 63% game time. Took some nice marks as the outlet from the kick out of defense.

Had some poor moments in the ruck but it happens.

Persist.

Persist.

I agree…Would love him to be more mobile, but he’s got some talent.

 

[bennymate]

Yes please. More of that.

Everyone saying it was stupid to play CCJ, Goldy and Xerri because it's 3 rucks....

...CCJ is clearly not a ruckman, been shoved out of the way TWICE by Cripps and had easy shots at goal against.

As did goldy. Both lost 2 ruck contests each to Cripps. Rather convincingly too.

Something there with CCJ though. Presented. Showed some physicality too.

Shocking post

Shockingly, a tall needed a bit of supply to start delivering on his strengths. I think he's far better forward than ruck, his contested marking was nice to see. Hopefully can start plucking those in out forward 50.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Liked his game

Competed well

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Stays in next week. Did enough for me.

 

[DEVO]

Thought he did okay tonight. I'm not sure he is our future #1 ruckman, but he does look like he could be a good forward who could provide support in the ruck.

 

[Greater Gattsby]

Competed. Showed something. Hates losing.

Not asking for a lot but if a lot of the others did that for 4 quarters, would be great.

 

[Themanbun]

Like our Richmond friends warned us...does not appear to be a ruckman. Can take a contested grab though which we sorely need.

 

[SammyRoo]

Was pleasantly surprised as have been a bit worried on early signs.

Seems to have a bit more game sense & forward presence than Xerri has shown so far this year

 

[Shinboner1]

Stays in next week. Did enough for me.

We've got nobody else

 

[Engimal v3]

Did a bit without doing a lot. Happy to see him ran again next week.

I did notice that we weren't able to convert a lot of our hitouts to clearances though.

How about forward 20. How about playing to his strength, his bulk, height and the fact he can clunk them. How about not playing to his weakness, open field and in the ruck. How about not doing what the opposition would prefer. Not hard.

 

[Flawed Genius]

He's better than Xerri. There's enough there to work with. Where was he when he wasn't rucking?

 

[nelroo]

Useless as **** on a bull. Hits contests with the intensity of a wet lettuce. Dud.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

20 hitouts from 34 ruck contests, gets good purchase on the ball when he wins the tap too.

Don’t tell me this bloke won’t be a ruckman, he’ll be a very good one.

 

[Sillygit]

* me it's fun readin the reviews post game.

He is s**t/decent ruck with good/awful intensity who can/can't football.

 

[amaz199]

Good ruck and strong hands.

We have one here. Just needs continuity. The Xerri injury was kind of a blessing in disguise for CCJ.

If only Goldy was 28...

 

[Ischenko]

Good game.

Ahhh what? Literally his 1st run in the ruck for the club in the seniors. Plenty to work with.

Of course he will.

 

[Kciza]

Took as many contested marks last night as Xerri has had for the season
