Lol. Yeah I was worried when he wasn’t finding the ball and thought he was more suited as a small forward. Never thought he was a dud though...

That crumb and goal at the start of the game suggests he's going to be causing some headaches when he pushes forward over the next decade.
We can all agree that he's better suited to a centre square role, but I haven't seen that sort of craft on the forward line since Fruity Allison.

Also enjoying the lessons being posted in this thread about people who jumped off. Talent does not just evaporate.

Turner literally did it twice a few weeks ago.
Still cannot agree. I would like to hear from a few posters that go to our matches regularly on their thoughts of what he does off ball or when he has not got it. You obviously don't get to see what he does off ball on tv and I have to admit I only go to 2 games a year now when I am down for work. Maybe I am wrong but when I have seen him play live he has always done more than enough when he has not got the ball.He’s not too useful when ball is not in his hand but he is a unmovable object, one of the strongest mid in close quarters and there will be a lot of those situations in a game. However we risk having too many in and under type as before but because of the addition Anderson and Simpkin, we have too highly attacking player so who generates a lot of buzz and can run both ways. One day if atley can be full time mid or even on ball then it’s adds new dynamic to the game. I still atley has a couple of gears to go. Him off a half back is in his comfort zone but to become elite' he needs to be given new challenges. He is only still 26 can u believe it.

The bloke works his arse off defensively. Last month been the best pressure side in the comp. Simpkin playing some of his best footy in the same block. This is no coincidence, he chases hard, tackles to hurt and competes at every stoppage like it is his last. The suggestion he doesn't do much off the footy is ridiculous, routinely locking down tackles and running in the d50Still cannot agree.

Here I am thinking Jy was a small forward out of position. His last month has been fantasticHe's a gun. Not straight line quick but evasive. Reminds me of Kym Hodgeman for all the oldies who were around in the early 80s.
My first reaction was 'You're kidding?!' but on reflection Kym had a few moves. But Jy has him well covered for pace.He's a gun. Not straight line quick but evasive. Reminds me of Kym Hodgeman for all the oldies who were around in the early 80s.

Both those blokes have a bit of experience on Jy. I reckon he's a pretty good learner. And losing hurts him.Down week for Jy, which is a bit of a shame because he was flying.
One thing I noticed a lot of on the weekend was him getting sucked into the contest while his opponent sat at the back of the stoppage. Merrett and Parish got a lot of easy footy while playing on Jy.
Not sure if it was a stoppage setup issue or an awareness issue.
