Are you sure he is not an ordinary ordinary player?

Probably should be one player who gets upside fro the new rules but still seems to be very average.

I have crossed out good.....can go with ordinary ordinary.

 

[Psicosis]

Think he’s very lucky that Polec and Anderson were injured. Cannot see us dropping more then 1 (absolute max 2) senior player on top of losing those two. Turner & Hall will go before him.

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

Cue handball to stationary teammate with opponent on his hammer
Cue turnover
Cue easy opposition goal

 

[ChoppyGun]

Huge momentum killer.

No footy IQ whatsoever.

If not omitted then move up fwd and a run with role on a defensive rebounder. He can do that well.

Agreed.

Football brain of a turnip.

Couldn't count the number of times I've seen him running through the middle at full noise only to handball/kick sideways/backwards, cough it up from a shank or get caught through indecision...

Just another Scott era prodigy that failed to live up to early promise and expectations. Frustrating player that’s for sure. Not sure with him, whether it was poor development, lack of hunger/desire, unwillingness to take the next step, just comfortable collecting his paycheque and being on a list etc. Probably a combo of everything.

And whilst every page is competent enough, there's something that disappoints every page and as a collective, the pages together amount to ordinary at best.

I wonder how much of that is due to him not having options to kick to tho.

Should go past Carey for games played in the 18 in round 9 next year.
That's assuming we don't make finals this year of course.

Gutsy call

you reckon we are a lock for finals ;-)

Such pessimists around here, honestly.

We just need to beat Adelaide by 230 points to square off our percentage back to even.

From there we aim to win 15 in a row giving us the last few weeks just to rest and tune up for a proper tilt at September.

 

[Waynesworld]

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

That would be good if he could actually tackle!

 

[The Nostradamus]

I reckon wing or nothing at all would be better than Polec at least he will run both ways

In 2017 he was the only player in the AFL to stick a tackle on Dustin Martin.

Instinct player, too much time to think on a wing. Needs to be in the guts but that bird has flown ...

Seems legit

 

[chubbspeterson]

Yeah but even the threat of his speed might make defenders panic even if he can't tackle.

 

[Devington]

He can tackle fine, he's certainly no jmac.

just lacks footy IQ unfortinately.

 

[King Corey]

Is there a particular reason Atley is a focus other than people personally not liking him as a player?
