Past #17: Aaron Mullett - 85 NM games/31 goals - ‘11 Rookie Draft - Fish —> Carlton as DFA Nov’17

[shniko11]

He was rusty as. But it was his first AFL game for a while, he tends to come good after a few

Like others have said if Wright isn't ready we are playing ffs what's the worst that can happen?
He plays well and gets some confidence in the seniors perhaps!

he looked a bit lost in the team, probably getting used to the structures. Other players have had worse games and regularly and never dropped so

 

[Event Horizon]

If next week was a final, he'd definitely be dropped and Wright would be back in. But given its a game against *, he should get one more game to show what he can do, while Sammy can manage his ankle for one more week.

 

[numchuks]

Getting better.

As I said earlier this week, give him an extended run and a chance to get settled in the AFL again and he'll start to get back to his best.

That laser missile from defense that travelled half the field to Thomas in our inside 50 was sublime. Shame he couldn't convert.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Much better tonight. Growing in confidence. Bloody hard to tell apart when near Ats since they adopted the same hairdo also.

 

[giantroo]

446 metres gained for Fishy. Only behind JZ who got 516m.

And the same boots!

Played on the wing a lot last night - that may suit him better. Wouldn't be surprised if he starts kicking goals in the next few weeks.

Thought the same but, to be fair, a lot of the league is hard to distinguish between because of about 5 different go to haircuts.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He might be the most one sided player in the league.

Matt Suckling thread.

W

Matt Suckling thread.

will be out once wright is ready to come back in

 

[Horizons_00]

Gets continuinity in his game. Starts to improve and see some of his great kicking

Gets dropped for a underdone Wright (mind you I like him)

Must be deflating for the guy. Really shows how much we don't rate him internally when he is that type of player that "needs" game time to flourish

 

[CrazyQ]

He might be the most one sided player in the league.

Now that's an understatement.

He will not make it at this level because of this reason.

 

[Boomerfan99]

I might be unfair but it seems bar one or two get things he spudded it all game.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Attacked the ball well tonight.

Showed good pace and nearly kicked two goals

 

[TwentyNine]

His kicking could've been better definitely but I thought he did okay. The goals he missed killed us, both so did the goals everyone else missed.

 

[Shinboner '07]

He's a tough one to assess. Can look amazing at times, other times can look like a real spud. Thought he was ok tonight. McDonald's injury keeps him in the team

 

[Benno_900]

He cost us two goals with his stupid decisions to go backwards in the 3rd quarter.

Far from okay.

 

[gokangas]

Showed good pace and nearly kicked two goals

We nearly won.

 

[tenderwarrior]

Far from okay.

Directly or in-directly? I saw him kick backwards to MacMillan in the 3rd, and he turned it over.. not sure that was Mullett's fault..

 

[Ischenko]

Might be wrong (was standing and drinking so it's a little bit if a blur) but it seemed he lost a few crucial contests when isolated one on one?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

He was way way way to far up the field to be trying to switch the play. There was no one out on the outer side so it was a stupid decision. Done the same thing three times, even Scott said at 3 quarter
Time that we had to stop trying to switch when it wasn't there. If he had of went long down the line goals wouldn't have been scored against us.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

He is a useless 1 v 1 defender. If he is going to make it it will be as a wingman.

 

[Ischenko]

He is a useless 1 v 1 defender. If he is going to make it it will be as a wingman.

Agreed. It almost seemed like a ploy on their part to have him isolated one on one in their forward fifty.
