Universal Love Clinton Young's tackle

[Cousin of Daicos]

We sure Youngy isn't leaning on the other side of the fence? Tackled him like he wanted to lube him up!!

Great tackle and really turned the match I felt.

 

[Yonchi]

a few commentators were saying that Young lacked match fitness. I think easing him into the team with softer games against carlton, adelaide, GC and GWS is a great way to have him ready for tougher teams/finals

Reminiscent of the Paul Medhurst tackle... welcome to Collingwood Clint!

 

[glasseye]

awesome work - instant 22 player. With Daisy gone we need more that can do this!

 

[TradeDraft]

Great Tackle but Did not get Enough of the Ball last Night

 

[Kirby]

Awesome it was. Had me screaming my arse off!

Welcome to the Pies Clint!

He lacks match fitness but I'm happy for the club to keep him in and build up that tank.

Great Tackle but Did not get Enough of the Ball last Night

I think that was more to do with match fitness. We saw a glimpse of what he can do with some of his penetrating kicks

 

[BEEG]

He had a few players miss him running past he will get more of it when players get use to playing with him

 

[entourage]

Was great to see and know we have a guy with elite pace. Tracking down Armfield is no lean feat especially coming off an enduring soft tissue injury.

Adds another dimension to the team.

Exactly right, will take him a couple of games to get back into things I'd say but there were very good signs

 

[MagpieJoel]

Fantastic tackle. What a way to start your career at a new club.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

2nd best tackle of his career. (Best was a front-on wrapup of a charging Dangerfield in 10 or 11). Showed a defensive intent rarely seen for us.

I cheered.

Agree with the 'acclimatisation' period - so many of his handball receives at Hawthorn were instinctive - he seemed to be running very similar patterns last night, whereas the Pies often go straight forward by foot (eg Swan), rather than finding the player in space (Pendlebury). I think the Pendlebury -> Young -> Cloke combination might be seen quite a bit over the coming seasons.

Other Hawks may not be so kind, but he left for the financial security - his career at Hawthorn was nearly over, and like Murphy and Gilham found a place to continue his career. (Will hurt a hell of a lot more if you guys keep winning, I'm sure)

Actually more annoyed his brother swapped allegience, but very glad that the Collingwood players have apparently shown the same levels of acceptance and understanding off the field - it's not exactly common in a "footy" environment.

Great way to start his career at Collingwood!

 

[DThomas]

Youngy did some very good things last night. He's going to be a good player for us I reckon. How about his first kick? 50 out on the boundary and bangs it forward, and just misses out on an epic goal.

Looking forward to seeing more of him.

 

[Macca_]

Caff's tackle in our forward 50 was fantastic too

 

[Pera]

Bucks loved it as well.

Great to see.

 

[HFF]

Didnt get alot of it but was his first game back in a long time.

Super chase and tackle. Also chased down a very quick bloke in Armfield.

He will be better for the run will Youngy.

I think that was more to do with match fitness. We saw a glimpse of what he can do with some of his penetrating kicks

and His 1st AFL Game since the GF of Last Season.

He did show potential with his Great Kicking

 

[Antz]

Youngs career average is 16 disposals a game...overated I would say.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Bucks' reaction was great.

"Chase Youngy, F**king brilliant!"

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Bucks' reaction was great.

"Chase Youngy, F**king brilliant!"

Haha yeah I definitely caught the "******* brilliant" bit.

 

[loki04]

Fantastic tackle. What a way to start your career at a new club.

Agree, the possessions and involvement will increase with games played.

 

[brodie_dg]

I fear people might underestimate just how quick Armfield is, that was a stellar chase that's for sure. Especially, as most have said, for a player coming off a soft tissue injury.

Truly exceptional. It was one of the few things early in the game that had me clamouring for my phone so I could tweet about it.
