Player Watch Finlay Macrae

[jackcass]

Looked Different Watching the Game

I'm not knocking either of them Dave. Much of that was the due to the work of the Weagles defence after 1/4 time. I thought both were okay.

 

[jonmacTrag]

I think having a Meat Loaf soundtrack would be far better!

Not the recording from grand final day though Laurie.

 

[loki04]

The word is that Nick is noticeably quicker than Josh.

I just really want to get the building blocks in place first, so that Nick can come in as Alan Didak rather than having to be Nathan Buckley (the player).

I hope he is Nathan Buckley but with the 01 lions team around him.

Imagine telling that little boy that, 8 years later, he'd be training alongside Brodie Grundy.

Furthermore, imagine telling Finlay that he'd actually play alongside Grundy.

Lastly, imagine telling Finlay that he and Jackson would have a mutual teammate and that the mutual teammate's name is Jordan Roughead.

You should take away the 3 though as Roughead should be included in the which nets you 22 so no coincidence here sorry

Nah.

I'm keeping it as a Venn diagram.

Of which, Finlay occupies one of the outside spaces.

Don't know how it's a coincidence when it's an observation anyway.

Thank you for sharing that truly awe inspiring information.

 

[jonmacTrag]

Mk - not everyone is a fan of the endless stream of mind numbingly irrelevant 'statistics' as you are.
Why you even bothered to record disagreement is mind boggling.
Anyway have a great day.

Thank you for sharing that truly awe inspiring information.

Completely unnecessary and uncalled for.

Cameron Mooney might use this on his Numerology segment on "Bounce".

He looks very nervous out there. You can tell a player is nervous when they’re going for uncontested chest marks instead of meeting the ball with out stretched arms

Problem when has no Support around him

 

[Scodog10]

I think he’s due a spell. Nothing wrong with that either because he’ll be better for the taste. Henry is a prime example of going back to build some form and confidence.

Yep rotate those 2 players this week

 

[whiskeytown]

only 62% game time...

Give him a rest. Rotate him out, bring Rantall back in

This is how we should introduce all the young players... 2-5 game blocks... depending on how well they hold up

Rotate them out, bring another one in

Yes but 4 games minimum. 2's not enough. They have to be given pressure free blocks of games enough to let the nerves settle and begin to show signs of what they can do.
He is slow as treacle. Needs to do burst sprint training next offseason.

 

[Rorzza]

Yeah, not quite ready....In a good team maybe but CFC have lost their mojo.

Yes, agreed. Fin looked out on his feet in that last 10 mins, but he kept pushing himself and will strengthen with time. Blocks of games in the 1s will push the development of these kids and show what they are capable of.

 

[Collingwoodcrew]

This kid will be a very handy player moving forward. He had a couple of bad moments today but he’s only a kid. Some second efforts I did notice.
IMO I would keep playing him for the rest of the season, he needs to work up to the tempo of the AFL it won’t happen in the VFL.

He's not quite ready at the moment and as with most kids, their best and worst footy is poles apart and their isn't much in between. Both he and we will benefit enormously from these games he is getting and next season should see him start to really arrive.
