kinda way?

 

[koshari]

Can he play forward.....like in Gary Rohan kinda way?

I think he has the capacity to be a rohen style fwd with 6 or so touches however dont expect them to be quality.

 

[King Corey]

Yep ... this is the same club that picked up Aaron Mullett of us

Unfortunately it's the same club that got Mullett as a FA via DFA and we're the same club that got sweet FA for him.

Bolded - aka Market Value.

 

[Val Keating]

Nah. Iirc Atley thrived as a forward when the ball was loose, often from a rebound inside 50 and used his pace and agility to break away and kick goals. Rohan is more a lead up type.

 

[koshari]

Didn't realise he was FA this year. Wouldn't be the worst thing if a team thinks it can use his pace in how the game's played now and we get a ~3rd rounder as compo.

he will be a DFA in 7 months.

 

[Val Keating]

TDIL his nickname is apples

 

[Gasometer]

Can he play forward.....like in Gary Rohan kinda way?

...sure, why not!

 

[LuvtheKangas]

TDIL his nickname is apples

We had a guy on our footy team with the same nickname. Comes from Apple Turnover.

 

[Themanbun]

TDIL his nickname is apples

So HE is the apples they were talking about when saying who could keep up with Phoenix?

No idea. Just heard Jack call him apples a couple of times.

 

[Gasometer]

Shaun Appley

of course!

He is and always be an inside mid.

 

[The acurate one]

ha , we'll ask for a PP and get knocked back, but we'll get compensated and end of rd 1 pick for Atley. North's happy and the AFl yet again keep their integrity.

I was hoping for an Atleys player review....

 

[ChoppyGun]

Last chance saloon surely.

He's bloody lucky we have so many injuries.

I don't like him as a player but I genuinely hope he has a great game to warrant his selection.

Christ we need our senior players to step up and he is now one of them and no better day than today.

 

[groo]

Wow

 

[ChoppyGun]

So we are done with him?

If Noble is fair dinkum on his words (which I think he is) this guy simply doesn't play next game.

Jesus Christ enough.

Has a few mates.....at this stage I rather play people who have a dip than those resting on their laurels.

Atley was very subdued on Friday. I don’t remember him making a single error. In fact, I don’t recall noticing him at all. That tells me he went into hiding, as a result of his turnovers against GC. For mine, that’s his worst case scenario. He has to keep taking the game on and accept the consequences. Will Walker

Funnily enough he had 10 less disposals and 10 less turnovers than the week before.

Yeah ....... if he keeps that up - he’s good odds to play 400

 

[chubbspeterson]

Try him as a pressure forward. Would simplify things for him and our forward pressure is ordinary.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Looking forward to a couple of crazy flat out running and then deer in the headlights scenarios against the Crows. Luv them!
