Nowhere near ready for AFL football.

When will he be ready?

He has almost zero attributes. He's Travis Colyer minus the speed.

 

[Lore]

I think he's played 3 games as a small forward and two as a small defender now hasn't he?

 

[naraku]

When will he be ready?

Agreed.


I haven't seen anything to suggest he will make it in his handful of games.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

When will he be ready?

He has almost zero attributes. He's Travis Colyer minus the speed.

That's up for debate. I think there's something there, but still far too early. But he's nowhere near ready right now, that's a fact.

 

[Duckworth]

That is one hefty sledge.

What's the AFL team? A testing ground now?

Remember Gary O'Donnell played over 100 reserves games til he was considered ready for a call up.

Go back and work on a new skill or position til it's ready. If it was good enough for Ridley to languish back there , Langford too, I'm sure Neddy can do it

Those guys played when list sizes were about 60. It was a simpler time, it was a better time.

Must go out. Has no discernible AFL attributes right now.

 

[eDPS]

He isn’t ready and playing out of necessity really. Makes sense to bring in Waterman and let Cahill develop some form in this new role in the 2s. It’s good to get AFL exposure but he also needs a way to develop confidence in himself aswell.

Yep. I noticed this in the pre-season game I saw. Stuck out like the proverbial. And if even I noticed it, it must be ******* obvious. Nothing against the kid but he's not ready.

 

[Highly Evolved]

The writing was on the wall in pre-season - he isn't a back. First half was terrible.

Play him forward or not at all. No use destroying his confidence and frustrating supporters for no reason.

 

[Don35]

Would be an ok footballer in country footy. Just ok

Our list make up is seriously terrible when one of a very select few smal forwards are being played at half back and aren’t best 22 in either position

5 games, 34 disposals, lowest time on ground percentage today. what's the point? send him down

 

[EnolaGay]

Absolute liability today. It's bordering cruelty playing him in defence, in fact playing him in the seniors at all. Send him back to the seconds to regain some confidence and work on his skills.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He’s a late draft pick, in all probability he’s just not good enough.

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

As long as he’s on our list, we’re in strife. As long as he’s in our best 22, we’re ****ed.

 

[Here_we_come]

It’s embarrassing that this guy is in our senior side. We’ve seen enough to know that Ned is not going to make it. Delist at the end of the year and make way for others with more potential.

 

[Zach Package]

Has not played a VFL game yet. Should start whenever round 1 is and hone the craft.

The forward craft that is

 

[MiguelM]

Too slow to be anywhere but fwd pocket. Need to spend rest of year in the VFL to assess.

 

[Howard Moon]

.....And with that a whipping boy was born

 

[mxett]

he may be a steady player in lower leagues, but what attributes does he offer that suggest he'll make it at AFL level? He's too short to be a marking target, too slow to be an outside runner, doesnt have the skills to be a link player, and hasnt shown standout poise or decision making. I just dont get why he's in the side at all

 

[eth-dog]

Yeah, I thought it was an okay move initially but it hasn't looked good so far. Get him in the reserves

 

[Halftimehero]

Surely we have better options, poor kid is way off it.

 

[BrunoV]

That's up for debate. I think there's something there, but still far too early. But he's nowhere near ready right now, that's a fact.

Agreed. He doesn't have the attributes to have an immediate impact.

I'm happy to hold for now. He just shouldn't be playing AFL.

Whipping boys are usually decent players who are unfairly maligned. Cahill is just s**t.
