Backfire Blicavs....LOL... Geelong.

[NetworkNerd]

Steps straight into the greatest team ever. And never played before. He is going to be a superstar..

It seems Chris Scott has said to him when your not rucking, run around wherever you want. Good thing is he has the tank to outrun most if not all of the big men in the comp. He deserves to keep his spot but can see him having a spell once Vardy/McIntosh are fit.

He's no great shakes as a ruckman, provides a contest and not much else ATM, but otherwise you're pretty spot on

Well he's at least doing his job.

Hai Buddy.

 

[Scully2GWS UMAD]

There has never been a player with a more apt nickname.

Blitz is killing it.

 

[Cat A]

Not really relevant but he woulda been paying a lot for first goal.

 

[JUBJUB]

Me too.
Blitz last 2 games = 3 goals.
Buddys last 2 games = zero goals.

Don't be scared Buddy,give Blitz a ring and he'll give you some goal kicking tips.

How good was his 50m+ bomb at the start of the last term? Never looked like missing.

Players with a massive tank are priceless. Sure, BlitzArse is not an elite player skillwise, but still seems pretty good, regarding that aspect. Look at the impact highly skilled big tank players have. Cue O'Keefe, McGlynn, & N.Reiwoldt. BlitzArse should add enough value to the Cats, just due to his tank. If he develops further skillwise, well even better.

He is going to be an absolute gun.

I feel really sorry for the cats.

I feel sorry for this OP.

 

[T2B_]

He doesn't seem to actually lack any skill, despite the lack of football he has had in his life compared to most in the comp.

He probably won't get too much of the pill whilst he doesn't have quite the natural footy brain that others have but no reason why that can't improve.

themarkedman72 what is your opinion now

Just seems like a regular rookie ruckman. Averages 6 disposals and 10 hitouts.

 

[Smedts_2]

Same goal average as Lance Franklin over the last three weeks, too. Gun!

pretty much, yeah. Dont think the hardcore reality of this fact is much good to the fantasy land cats.

You just shot down the whole premise of the thread

Actually he averages 9 disposals and he has just about the best DE% of any ruckman. And most rookie ruckmen have been playing football for years and have gone through the TAC cup etc, plus they can't move half as well as Blicavs can. Taking everything into account, the guy should be an absolute disaster, but he's been anything but. His skills and composure are above average for a rookie ruck. He makes very few mistakes and I'm quite impressed at how he manages to pick the right option under pressure most times. Given his background, he's been fairly impressive, but what makes him even more impressive is his running ability which gives him a real X-factor. I like Brad Hill a lot, but Blicavs would run rings around him he moves that well.

You really have to see him at the ground to appreciate his running and what affect it has on the game, even when he doesn't get the ball he's still able to have an influence just by his running patterns. Now he's starting to run to dangerous areas and can kick goals. The geelong boys will start using him more as they get more confidence in him. He's a ruck of out necessity but he could end up being anything and the way he's going so far, I'm excited to see how he continues to develop in the next couple of years.

I'm sure the Hawks have some great young ruckmen coming through too

I was stunned when he nailed that...how does someone who has played 15 games of football in the last 7 years do something like that?

He spends a few weeks training with Geelong.

My dreamteam stats say he is the best rookie ruckman in the comp. Just saying.

Great thread.
