Axel Foley

[Drunken Wookie]

Goddamn champ in the making, how much work did he do tonight? Not enough people talking him up at the moment. He was everywhere, getting clearances laying tackles, smothers, going on runs. Wasn't wasteful by hand or foot either as past stats might indicate. Four odd sob threads on how we lost, lets hear some foley love!

Love him. Can't fault his effort and there was a few lightning clearences tonight... I barely even saw the ball get to him before it was already out of the middle.

Shining light.

Foley's a real little goer...love the way he throws himself from ground level to keep contesting.

On the other hand, he often doesn't deliver well enough by foot when he's in space...which he hopefully can further improve on.

Full marks for effort (leaving a lot of others in his wake)...still around the 55-60% mark for genuine effectiveness, rising to 60-65% when he can run out full games even if his field kicking doesn't improve at all.

Also loved the front and centre rove of Richo tonight which hit the post...shows he has the potential to extend his natural roving ability to the forward line in a traditional roving role.

We have some good little players there to work with.

Its just a couple of COMPLETE SPAZZO'S ruin it for the hard workers.

Good: Tambling, Deledio, Tivendale, Foley, Richo, Newman, Krakoure and a couple of others will improve.

BAD : PATTISON, HOWAT, PETTIFER, POLAK, GASPAR

Looks the goods. i think its too early to make a comment on Howat though
