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

[Gumble Frankieton]

Big men take time...

Longer version:
Small blokes get a year or two to prove that they can play. Big blokes get 4-5 years to prove that they can’t.

Another game with no impact, 55 inside 50s and couldn’t register one score. 3 marks and 9 disposals. Just another nothing, zero impact game from him.

And as the other poster said when he does the simple things well we see them as positives rather than the bare minimum.

Get his meters gained this week AC,,?

In the positive. He’s as good as David Hale though apparently.

He moves a bit like Mark Porter actually but unlike Mark has absolutely no ruck nous. Except even 20 years ago we weren’t trying to use a cruise liner as a second tall forward.

Today might have been a chance to give Larkey a run in the ruck (wasn't getting his hands on it up forward), but would have needed CCJ to step up as a forward in that case. That probably highlights the problem - when a supposedly versatile player like CCJ can't get near it, it not only has the side playing one short, but robs it of the intended versatility

Well surely another 3 or 4 games and we write him off to the magios and run with greenwood for the rest of the season to place hold till goad or another get a chance.

Reckon that has now been revised from McKernan to Hale to Capuano this week.

Cappy stil light years ahead

Weird how Larkey was taking ruck duties in the F50 instead of CCJ.

 

[Lomas]

Lately is more likely to make something happen from the contest. Says it all really.

I'd be happy with Michael Gallagher at this stage.

 

[My Left Foote]

Been defending him for a while thinking (hoping) that there’s a footballer in there somewhere however not anymore, offers absolutely nothing.

Couldn't even find himself on the end of one when we were running all over them. Disappointing. Ready to shelve him for good.

Clarko is a dickhead for picking him.

 

[ChairmanZia]

End it

Not mobile enough to be AFL level

Sellers in. Larkey or someone else chop out the ruck.

Or just concede the tap & set up to steal opp hitouts.

Larkey in the ruck....errrr

 

[ChairmanZia]

when is hamish free ready for afl?

Forrest had the hand eye coordination to be a ping pong champion. CCJ can’t even mark a football.
