Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones - out for season after suffering Achilles rupture vs CFC on GoodFriday - go well CCJ

[zoomba23]

Feel like a study of this bloke's head would show that it's completely empty. There's not a lot going on upstairs but there's something there nevertheless. It'll be about whether we can extract that something out of him

Well despite the fact Will Minson was an astrophysicist, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Ruckman generally not known for their cerebral playing style, CCJ fits in well with his brethren

 

[Star]

Thank's for your 2nd rounder

Thoughts and prayers.

That was Richmond’s worst loss in like…




… a week

A lot of people are going to be made to look foolish for criticising the trade in which we got CCJ.

Always best to wait for the jury before passing sentence

Yep, just turned 23 and only played 15 games.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

He didn’t have an outstanding game and had a couple of howlers (critical miss from 15m out + tapping the ball straight to the opposition ruck) but the team is so much better balanced with him vs another full time ruckman.

 

[SMaturin]

Was involved for four quarters and looked to bring others into the game and take the best option.

Take that every day of the week.

Whilst he isn't Shannon Hurn by foot, it's nice seeing the 2nd ruckman kick the footy on a slightly lower trajectory than hitting the Marvel roof

 

[amaz199]

Still has to get rid of the Richmond DNA (missed set shot) and he'll be a very good player for us.

Only 15 games is extraordinary.

 

[shinboner magic]

LOL That's CCJ

Use that second rounder wisely- we’ll trade another second rounder for him in 3 yrs time
Tuggers- our feeder club

 

[King Hansen]

Thank's for your 2nd rounder

In the end we got Paul Curtis from that trade too. The 19 year old that kicked those goals yesterday if you remember...

Not many 23 year old ruckmen are having outstanding games.
He’s a work in progress that will take time, but he’s going to be ok.

 

[Themanbun]

I was a bit tough on his game yesterday, having watched the replay today. Often gets caught out of or in weird positions. Hopefully with continuity that can be fixed so his other assets come to the fore.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Thought he had a really good game.

Impossible to know really, but feel he gave us more yesterday than Xerri would have if they'd been swapped.

Look phrenology is largely discredited but I reckon you might be onto something here. Lachie “couldn’t use Microsoft word” Hansen territory. And that’s fine, he’s a footballer. Thought he was good yesterday too.

 

[DunderHead]

Took some good marks. Him and Xerri both have some things to work on. Hope they both arrive as Goldy is ready to retire.

Not yet he aint!

A lot of people already look foolish for making the trade in which we got CCJ.

 

[Sillygit]

I really like the play of him handpassing to someone more fleet of foot when he takes the grab. Just gotta work on that handpass.

 

[Fish Sticks]

His timing at centre square bounces is way off at the moment - he couldn’t even co-ordinate getting a jump at the ball on occasions yesterday.
This should improve with experience & confidence.
Around the ground ball ups & throw ins, when he can use his strength, he is much better.
His defensive follow up work is incredible - he laid some big tackles.
He should be aiming to finish off the year really strongly & lock in that second ruck spot.
Needs to start clunking some marks & kicking the odd goal.

 

[benbanjo]

Had a look at his draft year.
My advice don't look at that draft when it comes to our second round pick and the 10 or so players that we could have selected.

 

[Only Forwards]

He probably needs a season and a half.

Maybe longer.

Once mature I’d hope he nails the one he missed.

Woulda ripped the roof off the joint.

I'll go along with that around the ground, and on the forward line, but at this stage anyway, not in the ruck. Goldstein is that much a better ruckman, it's not even worth discussing.
