Not all small forwards need elite pace, would rather skills and football iq sometimes. Think Stephan milne, ballantyne etc even eddie betts doesn’t have elite speed. By no means Cahill is slow either he can move.

I’m not trying to be too negative. At 179cm he isn’t even that small just thought it was worth mentioning.

Gryan Miers a recent example

Seems to have a burst of speed over the first ten metres or so... from the extensive vision of a scratch match vid.

Yeah he definitely does have burst speed.

Speed is always good but clean hands are the keys to success as a small forward. The slower ones buy time by being super clean.

Being genuinely two sides also helps.

Speed is great but those are good enough can compensate.

Does Ned kick on both sides?

Also, does his selection mean he got the Worsfold standard of Neducation?

Feel like I saw something in a scratchie footage that suggested he did but I could be wrong.

And yes it does.

The most important physical attribute for a small forward is lateral movement. The ability to quickly shift to the ball once it hits the ground off a pack is important, and also to get in and out of traffic.

Grats on the debut this week.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

What's Ned's kicking distance limit?

 

[Lore]

Seems confirmed..

 

[ghostdog]

Okay. We need to work out his nickname. Is it Kelly or Timmy? I've opted out of Flanders due to young Sam from the GC.

Much respect ScrappyCoCo
Nugget is a winner

 

[Cold Sober]

Any player recruited who can play both sides of the body usually has a football brain.

Or "Killer" after Darren Killer Cahill.

Poll required.

Thought he would debut this week - he's got enough attributes to cut it at AFL level - Is he the second Cahill to play for EFC after Terry Cahill from the 1970's

3rd.

Don't you remember Bill from the 30's?

Looking forward to the two former team mates debuting tomorrow night. Was all for the dogs getting Cahill if we didn't get a small with our first.
Cahill while not being the fasted has enough speed to get him out of trouble and is quick to burst onto a spilt ball. Great week to debut him given dogs don't man their defenders to closely smart/fast smalls tend to hurt us on the rebound

 

[Milanista28]

Stupid sexy Flanders

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Carn Nedward. Do us proud, son.

 

[ant555]

Looking forward to seeing him. The reports have been very good.

Club obviously pretty high on him- what’s got them so excited? Obviously he’s playing well but any detail beyond that?

 

[blitzer]

Just watching the highlights had me convinced. Lets hope he kills it out there tomorrow.
