Analysis Does Venables remind anyone else of Judd?

[Pulsedriver]

In the same way that Corona reminds me of Nail VPA

Corona?

Baby baby... please.

 

[kranky al]

Thread misses the point completely.


The jack watts option should be shrouded as jack watts (port)

To separate it from the old threads

 

[jesterwester]

At times he does- like the goal he kicked against the lions - roved off the pack and nailed the snap.

Have said this many times, but I really can’t wait til he gets to 70-80 games and gets the fitness to run through the middle more. I do see him projecting more into a De Goey type rather than Judd, though. I think they both had similar concerns around production early, but both have the skills to be damaging with ball in hand.

 

[Mattpolick18]

I agree, but had to vote Jack Watts.

coz you like swimming and ****?

 

[Eaglespur]

If he can be half Judd half Shuey i will probably die of a masturbation overdose

 

[Fatty rules]

Nope, not really. But good off-season effort. From now until the week or so before round 1, we are in that bleak, desolate empty-thread-land and having won the Granny somehow makes things even flatter in the doldrum months. And it's less interesting to fantasise about how to win the flag (or if you're Freo, to rise up to 8th on the ladder) because we just won one. The coming weeks will be challenging, so please keep up the innovative posts. Btw Judd's shoulders were so crook as a youngster, before they tightened them up under the knife, that he couldn't tackle in his first few games. It didn't matter that much, that's how good he was.

That’s why I voted for Jack Watts.

I can see what the OP is on about but think it is more Venables moves and attacks the ball similar to Shuey and to quote this roar article

https://www.theroar.com.au/afl/long...heir-story-and-seized-the-premiership-679037/

Shuey “resembles a stockier, less graceful Chris Judd”

 

[Astro7]

Not sure about the Judd similarities, but he has a certain poise and class which looks promising.
Apart from looking a bit like Shuey, he reminds me more of Shuey than Judd.
Hopefully he'll be uniquely Venables in his own right?
How good can he be?...imho, very good.
Add some weight, another preseason and hoping for an impressive 2019.
(and he can stick tackles)

 

[campaigner___]

Not in any way, shape, form or remote similarity in this universe.

 

[Tom_Thumb]

Venables is putrid, sorry but he had one good game in the finals and in the GF he may as well of went for a beer somewhere and we wouldn't of noticed.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Venables is putrid

He's 19 you clown.

He's 19 you clown.

So was a lot of other junk players I picked early.

Wow

You will be eating your words in years to come.

I very much hope so, however I have a pretty good eye for talent.

I dont think you do chief

 

[The wily weagle]

I like Venebles goal sense, he positions himself really well when he is stationed in the forward line even if he does miss a few set shots

I also like his defensive pressure

That said, at the moment he simply isn't getting anywhere enough of the ball to influence the contest a lot. I think a fair target for him next year would to try to average about 15 possessions per game. It's a good target for his development

 

[FKASC]

He just needs to get out of the forward line. His best moments are up the ground winning ground ball contests. Super clean hands.

He’s not a very good contested mark so I can’t see the point in trying to turn him into a full time forward.

 

[eagles rule]

I like some of the traits that Venners has but the ability to find the ball is seriously lacking at this stage ..
A Improver in 2019 no doubt ..

[WCErevival]

A lot of his lack of finding the ball is the position he plays. Many times kicks are botched to him and when you have a forward line as deep as ours he isn't going to be used often.

I think he would do well on ball but obviously doesnt have the experience or fitness for that yet. He's done ok the few times he has been at a centre bounce. Priddis mentioned him when he retired as one to look out for going forward.

 

[paran]

I think athleticism-wise they are in the same region, however DV just doesn't have the nous to be a midfield accumulator or to read the play as well as Juddas.

 

[Evo47]

Not until Carlton is willing to trade another 20 years old Kennedy + #3 pick for Venables.

Don’t u dare forget Tonny Notte!

 

[Godfather32]

I very much hope so, however I have a pretty good eye for talent.

How's that Tom Lamb guy going?

 

[EagleEgo]

Don’t u dare forget Tonny Notte!

Obviously, I do forget partly! 11 years have gone now!
And I dont even remember if he is Tony or Tonny.

Judd = Norm Smith = 1
Shuey = Norm Smith = 1

divide both by 2, add them together and DV = NS confirmed.

Unfortunately, Judd won the Norm Smith in a losing GF. I would like DV to be more Shuey-like then.
