His conversion rate isn't much better than Bode's. Douglas kicked 1.5 on the weekend :eek:

Srewth. But mind you Stiffy, that's six shots at goal in his first game. Not bad.
Let's just straighten him up, whilst keeping that forward pocket warm for him.

Again you are not listening. Its just not registering with you.

I never said that Douglas will not over-take Bode and push him out of the rotation. In fact I would be bitterly disappointed if he doesn't. All I am saying is that Douglas WILL NOT take Bode's spot THIS year. I will say it again, if Bode continues his from he has shown to date this year and he remains injury free (huge if this), he WILL play every game this year and Douglas nor Skippy will take his spot in the side.

Dangerous to use the word WILL Stiffy as opposed to MAY.

Bode was solid last WE, but still has the same old deficiencies that look like he will never iron out (ie. don't think he has much of an upside). I reckon he may get displaced from the team, once all our regulars are back. I see him as a handy depth/fringe player.

On Douglas, I have liked very much what I have seen. This guy is class & I wouldn't be at all surprised to play a few games this year.
 
The pressure continues to build.

The mattner train is now an express.

Hop on board the new bandwagon.

The Black Douglas is on its way.

All aboard:thumbsu: :) :thumbsu:

But not a midfielder in 2006

How is his defensive pressure? Or do you see him as a goal kicking forward?

He can play at either end and in the middle. I think he got in the team in the year as the BP.

But I have seen him play on the ball and play up forward out of the square one out with his opponent.

His defensive pressure is good and unlike others of his size he can take a good grab a la Wangers.

The sooner he becomes part of our team (not until our form and structure returns though) the better we will be.

I think in some respects he is more ready that VB or Knights were last year.

This is not to disrespect their potential either.

Is there anyone you can compare him too?

I have said on other threads - that some of his qualities remind me of parts of Paul Kelly and Mark Bickley in their younger years. He can also take a grab like Gavin Waganeen.

But he is not the splitting image of any of these players.

Nothing is wrong.

Glenelg had a bye this week so he probably decided to head home for the weekend. Nothing wrong with that considering he doesn't have a game nor training on until monday.

I hope Douglas has 0 touches this week, he can even get injured in the first term if he wants.
