Just looking at his highlights package (always a danger I know) but looks like he has a little bit of pace? Seems to have run down a few and get separation on the lead - ball drop looks o.k. from limited footage, and seems to have good penetration. A couple of nice grans in there too.
Is the...
Is Jones one of those guys we get that looks the goods, seems like he should be great, but at the end of the day was struggling to get a game at a crap club?
I want to get excited about getting him, but not sure which way to go?
Who now???
Just kidding - he looks o.k. as a defender but the shocked look on his face (rather than an "I own you!" strut) when he kicked that goal against us has me a little concerned.
Try swapping hands. :p
Busy business and shitty life have kept me away from the keyboard, but I keep tabs...
Yeah this one really snuck up on us - who would have thought he could play CHF??
:cool:
PS - Waite played his best footy for us as a defender - straight swap IMO. :)
Just watching the WCE game for the third time :D and something occurred to me re Hampson and his marking outside the F50 - he often seems to bat the ball down with two open hands rather than try to mark it and often lobs it right into the waiting arms of a loitering mid. I guess my question is...
I know.......that's why I said FWIW. I think Malthouse likes the look of Hendo and Jammo down back and probably feels he can build a solid defence around those two - and I don't disagree, but why are we trying to "create" a forward out of a ruck (Hampson), or defender (Laidler) when we have one...
:eek:
Fevola and Dunstall send their regards.
Good to see I can go away for a while and come back, and things haven't really changed.
FWIW, Hendo to CHF.......it's were he belongs.
The arguements against his body strength - it doesn't seem to be an issue in defence.......are the defenders...
Disagree. Hampson didn't know which way to run........and still marks like that.
IMO looks more like Kennedy Circa 2006. Gets to all the right spots, glimpses of quality, just need some strength and confidence in those arms and body. Hopefully Tippett comes in and pushes him out of the side, he...
Waite will get over his calf injury, return, look average for a couple of weeks, dominate in patches while we go on a mini winning streak then get suspended or injured just before a crucial game.
He'll return 4-6 weeks later just in time for do or die games to make the 8, a narrowly avoid...
We are screaming out for a big forward that can hit packs hard, take a grab and kick long goals.
We got Hendo for that reason. Confidence was down early and I have no issue with him playing down back to get it. He seems to have got it now. We have White, Watson, Laidler..........if Malthouse can...
Hi Guys,
I've been hibernating for the winter.........what did I miss?
New fonts.......new posters.........
Just thought I'd chip in here, no idea where any of these thoughts belong.......
On KPD, I don't think we have all the answers with what we have, but we have enough to not make it...
Forget "ins" and "outs"
I'm very disappointed in our lack of effort gor the past........well, 6 weeks. With the exception of the Freo game, and lets face it, as a measuring stick, they aren't much chop and they nearly rolled us........but we have been EXPOSED as pretenders.
We are soft at the...
So we play a 1/4 and a half of footy vs Dees, and Walker is in the press doing some backslapping (IMO one of the worst offenders recently - intensity is pathetic), and Ratts is defending our game claiming the margin says we played well.......
.......we might still get out of gaol vs Port...
Well that's not really what my comments were about.
Put simply, I noticed we had been pretty poor for the last couple of weeks prior to the GWS game. Ratts has admitted as much after the Saints loss.
I felt the tone of language eminating from the CFC in the week leading up to that was...
This is exactly what I was talking about.
The talk of what worked for Geelong last year.
Stevie J is quality enough to take a week off and come back and kick 6. Jarrod Waite is not.
We treated last week with contempt and like a training run, even referring to it as such in the media. This is...
Hi Guys,
Long time no see. Having just opened a new business, I've been reading posts from time to time but not posting as often.
Anyway, just wanted to say I think we are setting ourselves up for a fall this year. I don't think the attitude of players or coaches is right.
This surrounds the...
I thought the best of Hardwick post match was
"we know we are a much better team than that, we played well below our best"
Erm.......on what form DH (unfortunate yet strangely prophetic initials).......last years form?
Nup.
Pre-season form? Sure with your full team playing as hard as they can...
I'll bet the first time Goodes gets a hold of us or Goddard threatens to cut loose next year Gibbs will become the stopper again so fast it'll make your eyes water.
