Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford

[LuvtheKangas]

Unfortunately it's contagious

As an aside, McGrath ran further than Rankine did after his 3rd bounce. At least 25m.

That is pathetic. I have seen local suburban footballers put in more effort.

What standards are we setting at the club?

We play footy like we are top on the ladder, playing the bottom side and winning by 10 goals.

It gets me so farkin angry!

It's mental too. Players aren't showing much effort or buy in

 

[Chadwiko]

Not his best game today, unfortunately.

 

[William Caresser]

Good to hear Brereton get into Ford about his different effort levels when 1/ he looks like getting it (maximum effort) versus 2/ when the opposition have it or look like getting it (minimal effort). We have a number of talented players who do the same and it's one of the main reasons we're so uncompetitive.

Just another B/C grader in a long line of B/C graders.

 

[Roosurgence]

You would think a bloke on the fringe would want to make every post a winner?

Obviously the culture at the club is a shitshow, when guys on the fringe are picking and choosing when to have a crack.

Can’t argue when you see shit efforts like Ford put in today.

Too many bush footballers getting paid to pretend they can play at this level.

It is mostly mental for our blokes. Just copy Wardlaw and Sheez.

Possibly played himself out of the team today did Ed. A disappointing showing but once again he is no Robinson Crusoe.

 

[The acurate one]

Too daft to understand what it takes to be successful at AFL level. Has the required skills, zero application.

Won't go the distance. Will be a very good suburban footballer

 

[Kciza]

Fluffed a kick out of defence but seemed more interested in blaming the bloke he was trying to kick it to than himself

 

[koshari]

another pretender.

 

[bennymate]

Watch Geelong pick him up and make him work.

 

[Horizons_00]

Yeah I suspect another play that is tired of not winning

Someone isn’t motivating our players

League leading at drafting players that have low intellect.

Some genuine low IQ getting around in our colours.

It’s prob the reason why he drifted out on draft night.

They'll market him well too cos of his last name, lock it in.

Gotta stick with Eddie, I thought he was really disappointing today but hopefully he will learn from it. A run of games in the VFL to really get some form, fitness and confidence would do him no harm. Of course the conundrum is who replaces him in the ones?

just like they did with aaron black ( who had a lot of similar attributes)

Need to get tougher. He’s not alone. We are in desperate need of blokes like Eddie to become far more uncompromising in their want for the ball. He’s got some tricks, so I’m on board. But the toughness and edge has to be up to him.

He’s better than others without the free run they get.

2 weeks ago our board was furious he came back through the VFL.

Not concerned, keep playing him. He’s handy and makes the most of his opportunities.
