My Boy Draft 2022: Pick 16, ghostdog

 

[Kakkle]

He's playing with a couple of cracked eggs in his pocket, and he goes not give a s**t about his family.

No in all seriousness, he's probably been in the top 8 for performance over his last 12 or so games. I think you just write 2020 off for every player (look at Brad Hill now that he has an extra 16 mins a game to use his running power).

If there was a mid season trade period, he'd be a pretty tempting player to a top 6 team if those type of players (predominantly outside flankers) didn't always usually take a while to get use to a new system.

I know list spots will be tough at the end of the year, but he's must keep for mine.

I suddenly forgot it was you who came up with the egg pearler 2 years ago.

 

[Zach Package]

I think he’d start to genuinely cut sides up if we could get the inside of midfield right, he knows he’s an outside player so he holds width and plays to his (limited but valuable) skillset.

A goal a game predominantly from the back flank is potentially the most impressive feat for anyone anywhere in the comp this year all things told.

 

[brutus76]

Fast.
Runs both ways.
Always lowers his eyes FIRST (not always something you can teach)
I admired his work at the Lions
Wing is his spot
Took a year to settle in been one of the not many highlights this year

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Testament to his running power because he's actually in a better scoring position from HB than most of our forwards plonked in our F50. Yet people still want to delist this bloke...

 

[PressureCooker]

Sometimes it's the little joys you can take from watching footy, particularly at present. I like when the camera angle is looking directly behind him when he kicks the ball. Flush connection, long and penetrating, fast ball rotation and it rarely deviates mid-flight. Laverde another one that has this gift, Paddy Ryder too.

Enjoying watching him play at the moment. Kudos to him.

there's a gameplan in that.
spend 2022 tricking teams into thinking we crowd the ball.
train the wingers and HBF's to run into the open pocket.
teach the mids to wait until the open space is free.

Rutten you genius.....

 

[ghostdog]

Thought Cutters was great tonight. Good decision making, clean by foot, best professional foul since Fletch left. In the last I wanted to see him have a ping from outside 50, but he still did the team thing. Good game Cuts!

Could go harder next time and rip sicilys face off, but thats ok

 

[BrunoV]

It's a strange situation.

The regularity with which he is dropped suggests he'll get squeezed at the end of the year.

That would be a travesty given the player he has become.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I don't know how to clip things, but his free against on Sicily with 3:40 left in the 3rd was a fantastic play. Stopped his run, sent him to ground and allowed our back half of the field to get set up.

I hope it's highlighted in the review. Very smart play.

 

[katana]

kinda guy you'd love to send a great coach to, i feel like every time i see him he suddenly has a new trick in the bag (that trick is never confidence).

Was that the one where he coat hangered him? Not great.

It was. Why wasn't it great?

 

[Beerfish]

It was. Why wasn't it great?

Just wouldn't like to see that against us.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Just wouldn't like to see that against us.

 

[ghostdog]

Just wouldn't like to see that against us.

Me neither, however, you could see the result instantly as a players came running back (which was also great to see). Cuts might get cited for it, but that's self-sacrifice for the team. A bit of passion. I loved it.

Really weird situation because he has turned his career around in the last 12 - 15 months at AFL level. He was picked when fit in the latter stages of 2021 and despite not hitting the same heights in '22, has still contributed very well.

Easy sentiment to say he'll be moved on but he is only just 27 so plenty left in him.

Would be shocked if he was cut. The cupboard is pretty bare in the VFL.

Don't see it happening.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Smart professional foul.

 

[eth-dog]

He's your ideal 20-30 player on the list. Can play multiple roles to a decent standard

 

[ghostdog]

R7 vs. Western Bulldogs (loss)

2 goals
21 disposals at 81%de
16 uncontested possessions
6 marks (3rd for Ess) 3 intercepts
347 metres gained

R8 vs. Hawthorn (win)

21 disposals (16 kicks) at 95.2%de
13 uncontested possessions
8 marks
480 metres gained (3rd)
6 score involvements
5 i50s

Good numbers in R8, Tommy!

 

[Ambrosia]

Feel like his disposal/decision making has improved to the point where he’s quite damaging ball in hand.

 

[boncer34]

His play has improved but his standing amongst fans has been helped by people no longer mocking him for what he's not and appreciating him for what he is.

What has happened to the egg?
