Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford

[LB2Snake]

Would‘ve been an unbelievable first goal that first shot that missed…….took em on straight away. Small sample size, but like him.

 

[teethmeetsflesh]

Did some decent things in the second half once he found his feet. Loved his positive energy too. We'll have the most enthusiastic looking forward line in Taylor, Ford and Zurhaar if nothing else haha

 

[Roosurgence]

Plenty to work with.

Moves well and worked into the game as it wore on.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Definitely something there, we need more players like him and Curtis Taylor

who have enough confidence to own a set shot and have a crack. Those are rare players to find.

Made the most of his minutes out there, arguably should've had 2 goals.

 

[shinboner magic]

Was a bit quiet early but that might of been due to no ball going inside 50.
Second half got more involved and got on the end of a few - should of had two goals.
Didn’t look overawed and looked comfortable at the level

The impressive part was you could see him getting better and more confident as the game wore on.

Rosebury went the shaft by saying not 15 as soon as the ball hit the boot the cheat, otherwise I think Ford takes that mark and has a shot on goal.

Very fishy finish when an umpire ignores a blatant 50, doesn’t pay a legitimate mark to Larkey when the he controlled the ball to the ground and calls not 15 as the ball just leaves the boot.

Very suss.

But this is the Ford thread and a lot to like.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Lots to like! Will be a totally different player once he gets another full season under his belt

Agree with all but the Larkey mark. That was clearly touched off the boot, but yeah, it shouldn't have happened anyway because it should have been 50.

The Larkey mark was after, and he got htb against him.

Ohhh, yeah, that was a mark. Sorry, Roosurgence

 

[Shack18]

Looks very very likely, moves well and got to some good spots. Has some power too. Give him a couple of good pre seasons and he could be a lock best 22

 

[muttley45]

Well done Eddie, easily got a passmark from me, train hard, and back into it next week.

I's love to meet you friends train hard, and back. They sound like they know football.

Has powerful legs, looks like a smaller Duck with the perm

Nice debut, but still needs a bit of development.

certainly not short of swagger by the looks

Haven't seen the game yet but from that clip, it looks like Ford did pretty much everything you would hope for on his debut. Great signs!

fu** I love our youth

Calm down George.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Did not disappoint at all. The kid still needs some fitness and strength, but he is going to be a very good player. Hopefully gets a crack at it for the rest of the year.

 

[ferball]

Top game from Eddie.

 

[Liam Boy]

If he'd kicked that goal, it would've put such a wind beneath the players' wings that we'd have blasted them off the park by 10 goals

 

[The Dingrel]

Great debut. Hit the scoreboard worked into the game andbdinished with 7marks. Wants the ball and looks like he has a bit of swagger. Play him every week and before a big pre season of weights and protein

Agree ! Love the enthusiasm this kid brings & has shown already that he had a few tricks in his Arsenal !
He’s going to be an absolute beauty. He’s that type of player that has an aura about him . Team lifter / get around me type player !
All premiership teams have these type of player.
