Universal Love Charlie ‘Chook’ Constable

[FredLeDeux]

3 of them played in a GF, one was dropped just before finals and one has been best 22 but suffered from injuries.

5/8 will have a big future at the club.

2 of them were top 10 in the b&f

And Parfitt finished 12th, 10 votes behind Miers in 10th - but we need to remember that Parfitt only played the 18 games

So with the players best 20 games counted, he gave a 2 game headstart to others

Says who?

I think the end will come very quickly.

I think they'll have to manage him heavily next year.

True, but some of us try and look at things from a positive point of view, others do the opposite. I’m not ready to write the champ off just yet.

Any evidence to back this up?

 

[MAHjnr]

Is Constable like Bartel?
Angry at not playing enough games in the seniors early in career.

Private School boy, who maybe has had things too easy in school football. Trains hard, but lacks x factor.

We all have our peccadilloes, Partridge.

True.

But when I get tagged about certain players, and those remarks turn out to be 100% wrong, I'm going to give it back just as hard with zero apologies.

No one expects apologies. Our assessments/opinions can be wide of the mark and often are. Even the so-called experts often get it wrong.

I think Bartel had x factor.
He was one of the most brilliant marking midfielders in the game.

Constable will be a good player if he gets a crack at it. Watching him this year, he seems to lack a bit of creativity when he gets the ball. The other thing is he's a big unit. About 6ft'3 and very much the prototypical size for a midfielder these days. Shame the coaches could not find a way to give him a small batch of games just to see what he has.

Still haven't really seen enough to judge properly. Seemed to have no issue finding it which is good.

There will be opportunities coming though.

Probably...but perhaps not at Geelong.

He's a good ball winner but if he still can't run out games, 3 seasons in, then that'll be his downfall.

Maybe. Could also be that 9 games is a pretty small sample size too.

 

[thecatattack]

Maybe. Could also be that 9 games is a pretty small sample size too.

He's apparently had the same issues for 3 years now. He's still slow. If he could run out games I'm sure he'd have more than 65% TOG and 51% TOG.

But he's won heaps of best & fairests.

What l already know he has us an average of 21 possessions from the get go, bet that rises if he gets game continuity in the future and also puts on size.

Who did live in fanatsyland? Perterpan?

Probably a common flaw.. we tend to look thru rose colour glasses.

 

[Tony Barber]

So he's told the club that if an offer comes up elsewhere he's happy to move.
* wells said it on 3aw at 6:30 ish

Wellsy has done the rounds today.

If an offer comes up in Victoria..? I think StKilda seemed to have moved past him now. Could we see another trade abomination and him heading to Waverley?
If North liked him it would probably simplify things.
