Player Watch Flynn Appleby (Delisted 2020)

[Rorzza]

Defensively as solid as a rock, had that one goal kicked on him at the end of the first but that was the only blemish on his game I can remember. Really looked good, if that's what he brings each week and can back that form up then he will play a lot of games this year.

 

[Matt_352]

If he continues to build on that performance could be best 22 very soon. Is that true small defender we been missing.

 

[DuckToaster]

He actually looks like a defender, and not your usual "couldn't make it as a midfielder" defender type. Super impressive debut & looked like he belonged at the level. Honestly he looked like a 50+ gamer.

I said it in another thread, but I'll say it again, Flynn > Langdon

Saying it, no matter how many times, doesn't make it so.

and if you disagree you should say so

 

[Vicky Park]

At one stage I saw Apples standing Riewoldt, and thought bloody hell, that's a baptism for the kid. I hope he keeps his spot, but not at at the expense of Langdon. Maybe Maynard, who was hobbling through the last quarter? Bruzzy might be rested for Brisbane.

Although I thought it was fairly obvious, just to be crystal, I disagree.

 

[jackcass]

Thought Appleby had a very good debut, did enough to merit retention. Could actually be a good match-up for Cameron.

Very solid debut and one of our better performers on the day.

I am happy to keep him in over Langdon, but I still think we need 1 more tall defender back there. Once we get Moore and Reid back, I'd like to see one forward and one back.

Although I thought it was fairly obvious, just to be crystal, I disagree.

Thanks, I don't like indirect inference. Going off clangers alone he's already out-performed Langdon and he's clearly quicker, so I don't know how Langdon is better. Although he did make a good step-ladder for Stringer on ANZAC Day.

 

[Kirby]

Nice debut

Careful, you can't say Langdon isn't quick out here.

 

[Bad Horse]

Hmmmmmmmm apples...

 

[GoalSneak07]

Great debut, really loving our 2017 draft class. No tougher task to kick-start your career against the #1 team in the comp in front a packed G. Very impressive debut.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Yeah, good on the young kid. Really showed a heap of passion and toe, and will learn so much from the experience. Hope he gets another chance next week to back it up.

That might be the best option. Maynard could probably really benefit from a bit of a break, especially now with the ankle issue.

 

[The Dawes]

Didn't look out of place at AFL level - a good solid debut.

Great to see a Pies recruit who can stick a tackle. With Aish now that makes... two.

 

[Kirby]

He looks like he's put on quite a few kilos since he's been at the club.

Not even close but hardly surprising given the disparate roles, 1 a lock down defender, the other an intercept player. The only measure Appleby has that surpassed Tommy is 1%ers (pressure acts), and we know how supporters love that. If this kid can have as good a debut season as Langdon I'd be thrilled.

Happy for you to post their respective time trial and sprint records in support of this assertion that Appleby is just so much quicker than Langdon.

I didnt realize he came back on.

Not sure about Langdon but clearly ahead of Smith in the same role.
