Rookie 32. Matt Carroll (jooce8891)

[CCurnow3picks]

I saw him in that praccy game didn’t seem amazing but others raved about him that day

Would love to see these skills on display at the top level

Looks like we will this week!

Nice to see someone with a lovely boot come through.

 

[Juddernaut08]

would love to see Carroll, Boyd in....Ollie, Haynes out.

Edit: E Hollands if he's doing ok should come in for any of our sub-par small forward brigade. Ditto Harry for Lewis Young (who has been pretty good)

Loved the video and also noticed TDK in the background,doesn’t look like he doesn’t want to be there clearly loves the group.

#32 really does remind me of David Glascott

Most in AFL media world would have you believe that players are all money hungry mercenaries whose only priority is money.
Sure it’s a consideration … but very rarely the only factor.

Skin and bones but what a player he was

 

[Markyd]

Video’s were great let’s hope he can inject that energy into a team that desperately needs it.

Youth can do that.

I just hope the outs are as good as the ins

Congrats Jeff ...

I just see love, joy and camaraderie in that clip.

Good. (Sorry Stig O'Hara)

Would love to see that on the field.

What's even better about Matt is that he has a LOT of what we are missing in the team at the moment.....

MONGREL !!!!!!

I couldn't be happier for him and the family who are Bluebaggers for life (his Dad is a mate of mine).

oh, he’d be proud as punch. Give his old man a hug from a bunch of BF weirdos.

My 15 yr old just got selected to play u/18s and I can relate to the pride (although obviously at a different stratospheric level).

So, just so I know whether I need to sharpen my gardening implement, we’re not rioting?

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Don’t see the hype with this kid.

 

[Y Goat]

Don’t see the hype with this kid.

I do. Has pace, attack on ball, reads play & marks, kicks well. Looks a natural footballer to me

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Don’t see the hype with this kid.

A player capable of hitting a target? Sounds like an improvement on half the list already!

 

[Gethelred]

Onya Matt!

 

[T2B_]

Don’t see the hype with this kid.

You've obviously never watched him. And just to be clear, this MATT Carroll, not Jack.

Not until we don’t win by 150 pts…at which point we are sacking & trading the lot of ‘em!

Or in the case of BT: Jack Carroll.

 

[ESKIE]

Really like the look of this guy

 

[Accidental genius]

Don’t see the hype with this kid.

He's a beauty - Glascott vibes about him

Goes in hard despite being a little on the skinny side
Kicks are pretty good
Bit of agility and side stepping
Awareness is good
Reads the play well

He's already better than quiet a few playing seniors atm

 

[branedotorg]

I think it's fair to say Matt has the height and the ability to make it but that there will be moments he fails against the eagles, as well as times his kicks come off or he beats his man.

i think he's got it and will make a decent AFL quality HBF/third tall but i really hope he's given leeway to develop and NOT held to a higher standard than some of our veterans.

Can’t agree on the Glascott comparison. Glascott was very, very nimble, flexible, courages with plenty of run but thin throughout.
‘Jeff’ looks more sturdy on his feet who will also over time build up. I know who he reminds me off but I’ll keep that for now until I see a little more of him.

He reminds me of a certain Saint, though like yourself bit cautious of making the comparison.
