Probably would've forgiven Ambrose, if Dixon kicked a couple today, given how bad our midfield was at defending with out the ball. 31 scoring shots, and Dixon didn't have a single one.

Intercept game has improved a bit over the last few weeks. Starting to take those contested marks.

Have you checked his supercoach champ? Only just managed to crack the half ton, get him off the list asap

Real shame he's in maybe the best form of his career and its being overshadowed by some serious floggings.

It most definitely is.

In our top 3 most important players. Cannot have him out of a limp-wristed side for whatever reason.

I made a call at the start of the year that he may push for AA if injury free and while that is a big stretch he has been outstanding shutting guys down and providing a hard edge to the backline and the whole side.

Need 2 more of him to put around various positions on the ground.

Genetic Jackhammer.

What a find

 

[Rednblak]

Even if he is having a bad day you can be sure he will make his man earn every single possession. He is one of a few that wears his heart on his sleeve and will bulldoze his way through a contest without even a flinch for his own safety. Plays like a captain

Ambrose has seriously been good this year. What's impressed me is he's even been effective against bigger opponents which previously was a weakness of his.
He's pretty much become a Talia for us. You know he'll keep his man as quiet as possible and never give him an inch even if he doesn't offer much offensively.

A lot of us viewed him in competition with Francis but I actually think having a bloke that can run all day and lockdown will actually come to complement Francis rather than keep him out of the side.

He was solid enough against the Bulldogs, though Naughton caused him a few problems in the air and turning him inside out - He's an extremely reliable player.

Guys that can turn on a dime are probably the type of player that troubles him the most.
It's why he'd be no good as a stopped in the middle of the ground.

He's barely averaging 50 in super coach tho

Finally fishardansin has got what you’ve been calling for years. Ambrose tagging.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

That hit on Fyfe made me moist. Bit of mongrel about this bloke. I love it.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

This is what he can do.

Goddard said he’s the best all-round athlete he’s ever seen.

With an embarrassment of key backs, Ambrose is the one who can be played in more positions.

 

[naraku]

Well done Paddy. Love his game and like Saad, doesn't get the credit he deserves.

 

[tperks]

Not sure this bloke has lost a matchup all year. Doesn’t rack them up but doesn’t need to, beats just about every player he is put on, and his work tonight on Fyfe is no exception

 

[Howard Moon]

Few of us been asking for ages to try him as a tagger, the knock was always mid craft.

Well figured that one out! Come in off the square post bounce. Perfec.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

He's not a midfielders a-hole, but as a purely negating player he's impossible to beat.

I missed it, I thought the game was on tomorrow. Tell me all about it.

 

[eth-dog]

Honestly thought Fyfe had a pretty big influence on the game still. Kept them in it. No disrespect meant to Ambrose, Fyfe is a favourite for the Brownlow for a reason.

Got to agree, we would have won by 50+ if not for Fyfe.

Say that again?

 

[Kakkle]

Ambrose had as many score involvements as Fyfe did from 19 fewer touches.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

So dependable this guy. Really good player.

But have to give the coach a lot of credit here. Dropping Clarke and using Ambrose as the tagger was crazy brave
