Player Watch Ed Allan

[stormskye]

They might have wanted him, but they wanted Weddle more. I doubt they regret it.

They traded to move up for weddle from memory

he's an amazing talent.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

We would have probably grabbed Weedle as well if he was available at our pick. The rumour going around was that we were into him.

 

[Dtennent94]

Allan will presumably cover for Lipinski’s absence, at least for next week.

Shame about Lippa as he was playing so well last night. Another real opportunity for Ed to show his stuff is exciting, though!

That Allan gets dropped while the 36 yo Scott Pendlebury is nursed to an AFL games record is an indictment of a bewildering club list strategy that begun with the recruitment of Schultz and continues to this day with the recruitment of Membrey. Fly's statement that he wants players, not draft picks, will hurt the club for the next five years until we start rejuvenating the list with high quality draft picks such as the ones that Richmond picked up and contributed to their win against Carlton.

this has aged well.....

 

[left at home]

He has only played a hand full of games
He is playing his role well and getting better each game he plays
Will make mistakes because of inexperience
Got the tools so just give him time

Buckley is my Hero hasn't posted anything since posting that drivel back in March

To be fair, nobody knew that we had set up an anti-aging machine in the basement of the AIA Centre. Jamie Elliott and Steele Sidebottom have been living in it. Unfortunately the entrance door must be too small for Mason Cox to fit through.

WHE doing unrewarded running trying to get to the machine lol

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Named in the best players, getting some continuity. Gunna be a ripper. Stays in ahead of a Hoskin Elliot when spots get tight

Hoskin needs some time at VFL level to see if he can recapture anything close to his best hasn't looked likely all year

, maybe... just maybe... Buckley ismy hero was onto something. why does it only have to be pendles or Ed. let the master teach the apprentice and play the both of them in the same side.. Master stroke.

nursed to the club record lol Pendles is averaging 23 disposals at age 37 thats actually amazing and had his most tackles for the year last night with 8 he was only down on form because Opening Round is shit and he had a torn bicep last year

he's not even 36 he's older lol

Loved the part last night where Ed had two important touches in the lead up to Lippa’s goal (and concussion). Darcy Moore

ran all the way up from defence to specifically congratulate Ed and pump him up. Great leadership and you could see Ed grow in confidence as a result.

 

[Rorzza]

Ed is better as an inside mid.

 

[Rorzza]

Buckley, being Buckley was partially correct about one thing the other night, CFC will build it's midfield around this player but it wasn't Ned, it was Ed!

why not both?

 

[Rorzza]

Neds kicking issues are too big for me to get over at the moment...I'm not saying it is a lost cause but I'm gagging on it currently.....Ned has hit 3 inside fifty targets all year, Ed has hit 3 inside fifty targets in 2 games....by foot skills, I'm referring too.

Ned can be a Tom Atkins type not the best kick but tackling defensive mid who can dish off a handball

I don't want to turn another thread into Ned's AFL sympathy fund, Ed is an exceptional talent, I'm trying to stay away from Ned's thread.....And yes you are correct, I shouldn't have mentioned Ned at all in this thread, my apologies!

 

[gouki88]

Rorzza acts in bad faith about Ned, don’t bother

They've got a thick neck phobia - it's surprisingly common.

Most people would just bow out quietly and hope no one remembers they were wrong but I have to admire your commitment to the cause.
